Chapter 27 Not Long to Live

Author: Night Eleven
Landon felt as though something inside his body was struggling to break free, threatening to destroy everything in its wake. A heated feeling was building up inside of him.

He subconsciously swallowed. The motion added an air of sexiness to him as he stood under the light. It was a rare sight.

Everyone in Janovin knew that Landon lived an ascetic life. He was even a vegetarian. No one had ever been able to make him lose his air of refinement and aloofness. But now, his shirt was half-open, and his hair was ruffled.

Frank was terrified, thinking that Aria had truly offended Landon this time.

He had worked with Warren for many years now. The Carvers and the Yorks were well-acquainted, and Landon made frequent trips to Carver Group in order to cancel the marriage agreement between the two families.

Thus, Frank had met Landon many times before, and he had never seen Landon eyeing someone with such a dangerous look in his eyes.

Most of the time, Landon's gaze was calm and unruffled. H

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2115 The Real Him

    A trace of panic flashed in Hedeon's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger. "Sonia, how could you believe a stranger's nonsense? I sacrificed so much for you just so you could rest and focus on your recovery. Do you know how hard I worked to keep the company afloat?"I cooked for you, stayed by your side every day. Is everything I've done worth less than a stranger's words?"His voice carried grievance and pain, as if he had truly been betrayed by the person closest to him.Hedeon continued, "When you founded Yost Group, who worked overtime with you? Who sourced clients for you? Who did all of that because you said growing Yost Group was your dream?"When your health deteriorated, I turned down all non-essential business meetings and stayed home to make soup and care for you. And this is what I get in return?"His barrage of questions only confused Sonia further. She saw the "pain" in his eyes, yet she couldn't forget the fragmented memories Aria had helped her uncover. It

    It was a call from an unknown Janovin number. Aria frowned. Only a handful of people had her phone number.Still, she answered. "Hello?"Sonia's voice came through the speaker."Hello," she said softly, sounding lost. "May I know who's speaking? I found a business card and called the number because it felt familiar."Aria's frown deepened at both the voice and the words. "It's Aria Carver. Ms. Yost, don't you remember me?""Aria Carver?" Sonia murmured, stunned. "You know me? I… I don't remember who you are."Sonia's health had rapidly declined over the past few days. She suffered increasingly frequent spells of dizziness and ringing in her ears, but the most terrifying part was her fading memory.Sometimes she forgot what she was doing a second ago. Sometimes she even called Hedeon by the wrong name.What frightened her most was the coughing fits—so violent at times that she coughed up blood.Whenever she mentioned it, Hedeon would brush it off as nothing serious, buy her som

    "She's the leader of the Special Missions Unit?" Abner asked, his fingers trembling. "That's impossible! You can't be part of the Special Missions Unit! That's a top-level organization. Why would you be here at the City Planning Department?"Aria grinned, her tone calm and relaxed. "Honestly, I wouldn't have paid any attention to your department if not for the demolition and relocation project at Clearwater Alley."Lucas' gaze darkened. Pulling out his phone, he immediately dialed the Department of Justice."Hello? It's me, Lucas Murray. Abner Worsley and Juan Hackworth from the City Planning Department are suspected of serious misconduct, and we have evidence to support it. Please send someone over to handle this."The conference room fell silent. Juan slumped into his chair, his face drained of color. Abner clutched his head, his body trembling as he murmured to himself, consumed by regret and despair. Aria remained where she stood. Both men held powerful positions in the City

    Lucas' voice was low and deep. "Let's take this upstairs, then.""This way, please," Abner said.He stepped aside and motioned for Lucas, Aria, and Landon to head upstairs. Then, he signaled to Francisco to help Juan to his feet and bring him up as well.After all, this matter would affect not only the City Planning Department's reputation but also the credibility of government officials. If things escalated, no one would trust the government anymore.Before Lucas came here, Aria had already filled him in on most of what had happened. He understood the severity of the situation. If the entire City Planning Department were corrupt, he would have to remove everyone involved and issue an official statement to inform the public. He couldn't let people lose faith.Abner cast a hurried look at the staff behind him. "What are you waiting for? Get some tea for Mr. Murray and his friends."The group walked through the lobby and entered the elevator. The air inside was thick with tension

    Landon smiled calmly. "Great. I can taste your cooking again."Moments later, everyone dispersed, leaving only Aria, Landon, and Georgina in the yard."Grandma, let's head inside," Aria said, helping Georgina to her feet. "I'll prepare a meal for you."Aria helped Georgina to her seat before looking at Landon. "Keep Grandma company. I'm gonna head to the kitchen now."He looked up at her. "Do you need my help?""No, I can handle it," Aria responded.She grabbed an apron, picked some vegetables, and headed into the kitchen. Landon watched her every movement, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes."Don," Georgina called quietly."Yes, Georgina," Landon answered, completely at ease as he gave her a sidelong glance.Georgina looked up at him. "I know you and Aria love each other, and I'm very happy for you both. I know Aria well enough. Although she has a rebellious spirit, she has a kind heart. It makes me feel at ease that you're always with her."Landon responded calmly, "G

    Georgina shook her head with a smile. "I'm aware of my own condition, but I still wish to see the two of you get married."Upon hearing that, Aria and Landon exchanged a glance. Landon spoke. "We'll get married once we finish dealing with the matters at hand. I'll make it the grandest ceremony in Janovin, with all the proper traditions in place."Georgina smiled and nodded. "Good. I'll be waiting for that day."Aria looked at the gray strands in Georgina's hair and the lines on her face before saying, "Grandma, I heard that Paragon Group wants to redevelop Clearwater Alley."Georgina's smile faltered. She sighed and nodded, a trace of helplessness in her voice. "You're right. Someone came and notified us a few days ago."Paragon Group wants to turn this place into a high-end residential area, so we were ordered to move out as soon as possible. They even got government approval for the redevelopment."Georgina paused for a moment before continuing, "Paragon Group is quite influe
