"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 Call 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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 271 A Bigger Payout
"Grant and I wanted to sell you off as quickly as possible," Olivia admitted. "But that thing around your neck… 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 Call Chapter 272 I'm Aria
Aria spoke slowly. "Who's that person?"Olivia seemed fearful, glancing around nervously. "I… 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 more—more 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 Call 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 Call Chapter 274 Lily Was Reborn
Ever since the last examination, Cameron had not contacted Lily. However, upon hearing that they were coming to Janovin, Lily took the initiative. She booked a hotel and even planned their trip.Cameron found it difficult to reject her when she had done so much. "Don't worry. Grandpa isn't that old-fashioned."Although Abraham didn't know the details of what had transpired between the younger generation, he found it hard to like Lily. After all, she hadn't visited Georgina once despite being back for a long time.Nevertheless, politeness prevailed, and he wouldn't outright dismiss her. He beckoned Cameron over.Cameron stepped forward. "Grandpa, Lily came to visit you."Abraham nodded and offered Lily a polite smile. "Lily, I have a pressing appointment today. Unfortunately, I won't be able to spend much time." He glanced at Cameron, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. "Take good care of our guest."Cameron was clueless about where his grandfather was heading. Lily lowered he
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 275 Awkward
Frank still found it hard to believe that Aria was the very person he'd been searching for. The irony of it all—he'd even tasked her with investigating Ms. Carver's whereabouts—embarrassment burned in his gut.Aria casually called out to him, "Frank."His awkwardness intensified at the sound of her voice. Aria raised an eyebrow, puzzled by his reaction.Frank regained his composure and gave her a courteous smile, though it seemed rather unnatural. "C-Can we talk privately?"Aria smiled nonchalantly. "I have a feeling I know what you want to say, but is it urgent? If not, I'd love to join your distant relative for some stew."Performing surgery was a demanding task, and the only thing she'd eaten was noodles. It wasn't exactly filling. She was famished. Besides, she needed time to process the revelation about her identity.Frank instinctively wanted to correct her that Landon wasn't their distant relative, but he didn't have the guts to do so with Landon right beside them.But Ar
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 276 Tobias Revelare's Prediction
Landon's slender wrist somehow managed to pull off the scrunchie with an air of elegance. Aria couldn't help but glance at it. Suddenly, she asked, "What do the Carvers think about their missing daughter?"Landon smiled as he ladled her some stew. "Mr. Carver Senior has been searching for her for years. Why do you suddenly ask?""Oh, just curious," Aria mumbled, feigning casual interest. "I thought I should know my patients better. Besides, you are, like, distant relatives, right?"Landon, mid-scoop, paused at her words. "Actually, we're not exactly distant relatives. It's more like our grandfathers knew each other. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been bethrothed to Ms. Carver in the first place."Aria only remembered about the betrothal when he mentioned it. She shot him an odd look.Landon didn't want her to misunderstand. "We already called it off, though. Especially now that they have finally found their daughter, they're willing to cancel it.""Oh." She took another bite of her s

The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1623 Waiting for Sam
Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he could—but 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 tough—it 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 Call 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 her—her bodyguard—who 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 resist—he'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clear—if 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 her—fresh, 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
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1621 The Grishams and Carvers Are Gone
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 class—but 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's—""What if it's someone from the state?" Eamon cut in, eyes flicking back toward the building. "We need to tell Dad. There's no point in staying here, but there is someone we can talk to.""Who?" Waymond asked quickly. "Lucas Murray—the new secr
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1620 The Grishams Are Gone
Durand's expression darkened; Eamon was right. Amos and the official from the state had originally wanted to work with the Grishams, especially Eamon. That was why they used the Fitzroys as a bridge to approach him. Unfortunately, Magdalene had failed to establish any rapport with the Grishams.Instead, she kept criticizing Eamon, claiming he followed Laura's every word, and insisted they had plenty of ways to manipulate the Grishams. In the end, the divorce erupted into a scandal, and the entire Fitzroy family was imprisoned.Ironically, Eamon's actions only impressed the state official more. Durand had even heard Amos say that their leader hoped Eamon would continue working with them as his involvement would ensure their plans progressed smoothly.That knowledge burned Durand with frustration. No matter what he did, he could never measure up to Eamon."It looks like you still haven't grasped the situation, Mr. Grishman. Mr. Grisham Senior has begged everyone, but where did it le
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1619 Making a Plan for the Grishams
"I'm happy to take over the Grishams' responsibilities," Durand said.Waymond scoffed coldly. "You're not worthy of it.""Mr. Lincoln, it seems someone's not too happy with you."Durand, dressed like a gentleman as always, adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "Waymond, you've been in this business long enough to know how things work. The Grishams have gained a lot over the years. It's not up to you to decide whether to hold on to it."Leonardo stood, trying to ease the tension. "There's no point in arguing. Let's settle this the traditional way—with an anonymous vote. Everyone, write down whether you think the Grishams should step down. Let the vote speak for itself. That way, it'll be fair."He instructed someone to bring in a box, paper, and pens. Each member was handed a set. It was more for show than anything else; everyone already knew how the vote would go.Eamon saw right through their performance, his gaze turning cold as he sat silently. The votes were quickly cast an
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1618 Kicking the Grishams Out
"Mr. Grisham, how long your niece stays locked up isn't up to us—it depends on the severity of her crime," Durand said. "As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you should understand how serious the situation she's stirred up really is. Haven't you read any of the online news?"People are now hoping the Grisham family goes bankrupt. They're even demanding that we, the Chamber, investigate this matter ourselves!"His words made those who had previously wanted to side with the Grishams start to hesitate. With the Draycotts and Fitzroys already doomed, the Grishams had seemed like the next best option. But no one had expected Aria to make such a critical mistake.Public sentiment had turned sharply. The Chamber of Commerce was now being blamed for enabling an economic disaster. What angered the public most was Aria's carefully crafted image. If she'd shown her true colors from the start, they might have ignored her. But pretending to be righteous, only to betray the common people—that w
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1617 The New Head of the Chamber
Dave smiled, clearly enjoying the desperation on Lewis' face. "Also, you won't be getting any more orders. Your supervisor is going to help us delete every report you've ever submitted. What a shame, Lewis. You risked your life on the front lines, only for someone else to reap the rewards behind your back. If I were you, I'd stop being so loyal. Wouldn't it be better to join us?"He was trying to manipulate Lewis, planting doubt and betrayal like poison. As Aria listened, her fists clenched slowly. Nothing crushed a person's spirit more than destroying their belief in what they stood for. They had exposed Lewis on purpose—to break his faith in the uniform he wore.The masked clients settled back into their seats, returning to their arrogant ease. They were reminded that they were above the law within these walls. No one from the outside could enter the premises, and if someone did, they wouldn't leave intact.These people had powerful connections. To them, the undercover cop was a
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1616 The Exposed Cop
Aside from Aria, who had initially refused the food, everything had seemed normal to Stephanie. After all, Aria eventually accepted a drink, and nothing else appeared out of the ordinary.But the more Stephanie thought about it, the deeper her frown became. A sense of unease crept in, and she instinctively lowered her microphone, ready to rush to the basement to check things for herself. Seeing her reaction, the wealthy clients began to panic.The woman in the fox mask stood up, clutching her bag tightly, and made for the exit. She feared she would actually be arrested if she stayed any longer. She had no intention of ending up in jail just for attending an auction, especially one like this. Most importantly, she couldn't afford to have her reputation tarnished.Like her, the rest of the crowd shared the same instinct—flee.Meanwhile, Aria narrowed her eyes as she subdued a bodyguard with one hand. She maintained firm but measured pressure with her left hand, ready to act the moment
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1615 Aria Was Exposed
When Sasha heard the man mention the rare gem, her eyes narrowed slightly. Very few people knew about it. Only Dave and a handful of higher-ups were aware. She immediately wondered who had leaked the news.But the man's words had already ignited excitement across the auction floor."What? A rare gem?""It's been ages since we've seen one! I can't believe there's actually one today!"To these people, a rare gem referred to someone whose body was considered exceptionally valuable, blessed with natural fortune, vitality, and unmatched physical condition. It was believed that such a person couldn't fully harness the luck they were born with. But if someone else could acquire it...Not only could they preserve their youth and beauty, but their careers and fortunes could be transformed. The idea sent a thrill through the room, and their greed quickly became impossible to hide.Sasha realized the situation was slipping out of her control. She reached for her communicator to contact Dave,
