The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 266 Reuniting With Aria
Jeffrey, who always kept his cool, was so emotional now that his voice had turned hoarse."Mr. Levin, do you still think we need some bloody DNA test? Who else could this be, if not my sister?" he cried out. It had to be her. It couldn't be anyone else.Everyone kept saying that Mindy looked like the sister they lost, but Jeffrey didn't think they looked alike in any way.The photo of the little girl he saw now was what he remembered of his sister. Her face was smeared with dirt. But even though she had been kidnapped, she was still able to eat her candy. She stared at the camera with bleary eyes, as though she wasn't fully awake yet.Her eyes were large and round. Her cheeks were plump. She was even wearing the tiger-themed hat Jeffrey and Leon made for her. They had done a poor job of making it themselves, so the embroidery looked very messy.Meanwhile, Frank was also agitated. It was one thing to figure it out. It was another to receive solid proof that he was right. The young
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 267 Informing Warren
"Alright." Aria agreed to it. Despite feeling puzzled, she knew her focus should be on saving Jeffrey. "Does he have any allergies, especially to certain medications? Does his body reject drugs like penicillin?""None at all," Frank replied.Meanwhile, the stretcher was brought over. Aria swiftly took one of the ends and lifted Jeffrey with the help of the other medical staff. The doctor and nurses all followed along as well.Frank was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat. He wanted to tell Aria that she was the Carver family's daughter, but he was also worried about the news affecting her feelings about Jeffrey. That might affect the surgery too.Soon, the light outside the surgical theater turned on, indicating it was occupied.Landon had followed Aria to the hospital. He still needed to tie up loose ends. Once Aria had gone into the surgical theater, he looked at Frank and asked, "Did you guys find Ms. Carver yet?"His tone was cool and indifferent, making it seem
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 268 She Has Been Found
"Mr. Carver Senior, we've found Ms. Carver!" Frank declared with excitement. Even his hands were trembling. "This time, it's really her! She's in the same building as me!"Warren jumped to his feet, his eyes filled with shock. "Where are you?""We're at Beacon Hospital in Uludon," Frank replied, doing his best to keep his voice down. "Mr. Jeffrey is here too. He has already met Ms. Carver, but the situation is rather complicated. I'll explain in further detail once you arrive, Mr. Carver Senior."Warren clutched his cane. His gaze was shining with excitement. "Jeff has met our little rainbow? Why is he at Uludon? How did he run into her?""Technically speaking, Ms. Carver saved Mr. Jeffrey. And when he first saw her, he felt a sense of kinship with her." Frank gave a quick summary. "Mr. Carver Senior, I'm afraid that what I'm about to say next might be too much for you to take. Perhaps you should steel yourself first."However, Warren was far too overjoyed to care about anything e
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 269 Warren Heads to Beacon Hospital
"Mr. Hesse, is Grandpa still mad at me?" Mindy asked, biting her lip to make herself seem even more pitiful.Toby Hesse, who was part of Warren's team, replied with a smile, "Mr. Carver Senior dotes on you the most. Once enough time has passed, he'll come to see that you meant well, Ms. Carver.""Okay," Mindy replied with a look of disappointment.She left the building. After she got into the car, her gaze turned grim. "Dorothy, did you find out where Grandpa went?""He left for a business meeting. Don't worry, Ms. Carver," Dorothy said consolingly. "Once Lily gets the chance to give Mr. Carver Senior a checkup, he'll realize that the country bumpkin is nothing special. Then, he'll know just how thoughtful you are.""I hope so," Mindy said with a sigh. "Grandpa's always so harsh with me."He even put her in a difficult spot for that country bumpkin's sake.Mindy didn't know why she felt so bothered and frazzled. Perhaps it was because she was running low on her supply of aromath
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 270 Aria Discovers Her True Origins
"It's all your fault, you jinx! You ruined my life!" Olivia shrieked. Right from the start, it was clear she wasn't in her right mind.Worried that she might harm Aria, the bodyguard advised, "Be careful, Ms. Carver. She's unstable right now.""It's fine. You can leave us. I want to ask her about something private," Aria said with a chuckle.The bodyguard was hesitant. "Mr. York instructed us to never let you be in harm's way."Aria's smile deepened. "He's right outside. Don't worry. I can protect myself. In any case, she's still poisoned right now. I can easily overpower her."Only then did the bodyguard leave the room, closing the door behind him.Yanking on the chain that restrained her, Olivia wanted to headbutt Aria. However, Aria abruptly grabbed her by the neck. Eyes flashing darkly, she said, "Say, if you die here today, do you think the authorities will investigate you or me?"Aria wasn't joking when she said she could overpower Olivia. Her clutch was so tight that Oliv

"Grant and I wanted to sell you off as quickly as possible," Olivia admitted. "But that thing around your neckโฆ it was too striking. No one dared to buy you. The pendant would shine, and there was even a word inscribed on it!" A flicker of horror crossed Olivia's face as the memory resurfaced. The word inscribed on the pendant wasn't about fortune or wealth. It was the word, "Soul". With that pendant on her, nobody wanted Aria. "I consulted an old fortune teller from the village," Olivia continued. "He claimed the pendant was from hell, pure evil. He advised me to get rid of it immediately. Apparently, keeping you could bring doom to the entire village. Thus, Grant and I didn't dare to raise you anymore. We also sold your pendant to Thomas Weller, a pendant collector in Southbury."Aria perked up at the name. "What happened in the fire that year?" she asked."We fled after switching you with the Kents' daughter," Olivia confessed with a hint of fear in her eyes. "At that time
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 272 I'm Aria
Aria spoke slowly. "Who's that person?"Olivia seemed fearful, glancing around nervously. "Iโฆ I don't know. I can't tell you. I'll be punished."Aria sensed something was wrong from Olivia's frantic rambling. She reached out and checked Olivia's pulse, finding it erratic.Raising her chin, Aria locked eyes with Olivia. Her gaze turned cold. "Did someone put a curse on you?"Olivia suddenly went crazy and slapped herself. "The heavens will punish me for this! Why did I say anything?"Tears streamed down her face. "Lily, you must study hard. You're all I have. If you get into a good college, I'll be able to enjoy life in the city." Then, she grabbed Aria's hand. "Lily, you promised to buy your brother a house. I know you love me moreโmore than that useless daughter of mine!" Aria paused after hearing that. "You have a daughter?"Olivia stared at Aria. "I had difficulty giving birth. Despite all that effort, the baby turned out to be a girl! Why can't I have any sons? What bad l
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 273 Aria Really Is His Boss
Malcolm's phone clattered to the floor as he stood in shock. Memories of everything he'd said to Aria flashed through his mind.He vividly recalled their first meeting, where he treated her like his sister. He had even assured Shiloh and the others that he could protect her.Suddenly, he realized the true meaning behind Aria's smile. The weight of these memories caused his knees to buckle.He'd never imagined his mysterious boss, the one he pictured as a powerful elite running a vast empire from a luxurious office, could be someone so close to him. And to top it all off, she was even younger than him!Aria's beautiful face made her look more like an actress than a doctor. She also happened to be the "fake heiress" that the Short family had scorned. His head spun as he scrambled to pick up his phone, his fingers flying across the screen in a flurry of frantic typing. But Aria was quicker. A message popped up saying, "Investigate it now."Could it be true? Was Aria really his boss

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1629 The Mysterious Landon
Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soonโhe knew that. He hadn't planned on revealing himself like this. But something that belonged to him was here, and the demonic energy in this placeโฆ Aria couldn't face it alone.She studied him from head to toe, her hand still in his. His grip was firm, protective."There's a lot of mist ahead," he said quietly. "We'll need to tread carefully."Aria tilted her head. "You speak like you know this place well.""I do," Landon replied with a calm honesty. "I was deathly ill once. My soul wandered into a place just like this. Homer pulled me back."His voice made it sound like a distant memory, and Aria gave a soft laugh, tightening her hold on his hand. "You really are full of surprises. I guess it's trueโhandsome men are the most dangerous."But Aria's thoughts were racing. Why had he come after her like this, knowing it would reveal parts of himself he'd tried to keep h
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1628 The Labyrinth
Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every cornerโtoo many eyes. Vanishing without a trace wasn't an option.He glanced in Aria's direction, then lowered his head. His lips moved in a whisper, but the sounds were incomprehensibleโsomething rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chantโan exorcism.Meanwhile, Dave descended into the underground, calm and unrushed. That place reeked of foul energy, dense and suffocating. His master had cast a spell over itโone designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing prioritiesโdestroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floorโonly to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind herโฆ
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1627 Cutting Their Losses
"Why would there be people outside?" asked Dave. He had been disguising himself as a doctor for years, and that was the first time he looked so anxious. After all, if someone did approach their building, the villagers would have informed them about it. However, they received no news this time.Dave wondered what was going on."Dr. Dave, what should we do now? I think we're surrounded!"He was still in his coat as he slightly clenched his fists. "Let's move out. Bring the girls in the basement with us.""T-They're not in the basement."When Dave heard that, he looked furious. "What do you mean they're not in the basement?""Someone took them away, and I'm guessing it was her fault!" The bodyguard pointed at Aria, who was standing on the highest point, showing off her skills. With swift, lethal kicks and a taser turned weapon, no one dared get close.Whoever touched Aria would die, and no one dared to approach her at all.As for Landon, he still had his mask on as he stood behind
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1626 The Special Missions Unit Are Here
Chaos erupted at the auction. For all their pride and arrogance, the wealthy clients' expressions had twisted into pure panic the moment something went wrong.So, their first reaction was to seek a staff member."The power's unstable!" Dave spoke into the microphone, trying to project calm. "Everyone, stay calm. There's scheduled maintenance in townโit's just affecting the electricity. Nothing's wrong."He genuinely believed that. It was what he'd been told.But Aria knew better. The blackout wasn't random. It was a signal. Sam had tracked down the source of the call. With the exits sealed off, Aria had everything she needed to act.A faint smirk curled on her lips. Without hesitation, she grabbed Landon and swiftly took Aliya hostage. Her movements were sharp, practiced, so fast that no one around her even had time to react.Then came the needles.Aria flicked her wrist, sending a series of acupuncture needles flying. The rich guests closest to her froze in place, locked in stu
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1625 Winning the Auction
Tony's accusation stirred a ripple through the room, and it didn't escape Dave's attention. With a subtle flick of his wrist, he signaled to someone nearby.Aria caught the movement. Her fingers tensed, ready to slip free of the rope she had already loosened. But before she could act, she heard a smooth, composed voice glide through the air."I need her to boost my luck," the man said coolly. "I've done my research. She's the ideal bride for someone like me."Dave stopped in his tracks, and it seemed like he was telling someone else to verify what Landon had said."Sir, it checks out," one of the staff murmured after a brief consultation. "Mr. Crow's fate is complicated. The master said only a spiritual match could extend his life. Otherwise, he won't make it past his next birthday."Dave let out a low chuckle, visibly relaxing. "Well then, Mr. Crow, it seems you've come to the right place. Pleaseโcarry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1624 Landon Takes Action
Aria couldn't tear her eyes away from Dave.He was still quietly speaking to the man on the screen, their exchange shrouded in secrecy. No one nearby could hear what they were sayingโbut Aria could guess. It had to be a deal of some sort, something about her. Everything about Dave's posture, the glint in his eyes, told her this wasn't just business. It was personal.She glanced up at the clock again, nerves coiling in her chest. Something was wrong. Sam was taking longer than usual. That wasn't like him.The auction was nearing its close. They couldn't miss the chance to strike. Sasha, glowing with excitement, clapped her hands and declared, "Six million! It looks like no one else is biddingโcongratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tigerโ""Ten million dollars."The voice sliced clean through the noise, calm, clear, and cold.Everyone turned toward it.A man stood at the edge of the crowd, dressed in a sleek tuxedo dusted with black feathers, his mask intricate and dark.T
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1623 Waiting for Sam
Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he couldโbut she'd also said that when desperation knocked, rules could bend.Now was one of those moments.Sam hesitated only briefly before diving in.He had to know who was behind this. Who kept targeting Aria? Who was pulling the strings in the dark? And once Sam decided on something, there was no turning back.Without Aria by his side, he breached the system, knowing full well the other side had already alerted the police.The firewall he faced wasn't just toughโit was nearly impenetrable. It filtered everything, controlling access with surgical precision. But Sam wasn't interested in the broader network. He narrowed his focus and cut straight to the source, filtering out all the noise to lock onto the actual IP.The auction raged on aboveground. The man behind the screen, confident in his usual routine, remained calm and unaware that the mask he'd worn for years was finally slipping. He'd always stayed out of sight, appearing only
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Callย ย ย Chapter 1622 The Unusual Location of the Target
While Aria discreetly signaled to move, the auction hall was buzzing with excitement. Laughter echoed, wine glasses clinked, and the room pulsed with greed.Sasha's voice came through the mic, smooth and cheerful. "While everyone's enjoying themselves, let's welcome our latest arrival of the evening."She glanced at the man beside herโher bodyguardโwho immediately stiffened under her gaze.To the crowd, it looked like he was escorting Aria to the stage under control. In truth, Aria's hand was already pressed lightly against his chest, right over a poisoned pressure point. He knew better than to resistโhe'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clearโif she was exposed or captured, he wouldn't live to see morning.The guests didn't notice a thing. All eyes were on Aria, their expressions hungry. They saw value in herโfresh, young, healthy. To them, she wasn't a person. She was premium merchandise.She was brought to stand beside a young woman who had alr

Eamon and Waymond had just been thrown out of the Chamber of Commerce. Waymond's face was flushed with fury, his eyes red. "Eamon, why didn't you let me speak earlier? Mr. Lincoln was being unreasonable!"Eamon, ever perceptive, shook his head. "Mr. Lincoln's been bribed. He was never going to take our side."Wise and strategic, Eamon had always been top of his classโbut now, he was even sharper when it came to reading a room."I'm guessing Aria found something during her investigation that made them nervous," he continued. "Durand couldn't have controlled Lincoln on his own. There's more to it."Waymond frowned, still struggling to piece things together. "But who could bribe Mr. Lincoln? Not even the mayor has that kind of sway. He'sโ""What if it's someone from the state?" Eamon cut in, eyes flicking back toward the building. "We need to tell Dad.
