Chapter 275 Awkward

Author: Night Eleven
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 nonch

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2252 Word of Thayne

    Sylas spoke to Thayne. "What's the matter? You got scared when I mentioned Hollowlight Sect, didn't you?" His voice was low and rough, laced with the kind of cold that only came from the deepest parts of the Shadowsteel Realm. Every word hit Thayne's soul like a hammer blow. "You've been sitting in that cage playing mute for a thousand years, and now you finally decide to move? Too bad. You could scream yourself hoarse, and she'd never hear you. "And even if she did, she couldn't save you. All you'd accomplish is giving me one more leash to yank her around with." Thayne's soul convulsed. The faint pulse of energy around him spiked wildly, and more threads of spirit began unraveling from the cracks. He locked his eyes on Sylas with intense hatred, and he poured every last shred of strength he had into his throat. What came out was barely a whisper, but it was hoarse with fury and heartbreak. "Sylas, you monster! This is between you and Hollowlight Sect. You want someone to com

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2251 The Head of Hollowlight Sect

    Aria caught herself against the tree trunk to stay on her feet. Her other hand hung at her side in a tight fist, nails buried so deep in her palm that blood had started seeping out. It dripped from her fingertips and left faint red spots on the grass below, but she didn't feel any of it. The agony in her chest had swallowed every other sensation whole. All color had drained from her face, leaving it ashen but steely. Whatever grief had been pooling in her eyes a moment ago was gone now, frozen over and replaced by killing intent. Nearly a thousand years' worth of hatred had been smoldering inside her, and this was the moment it all caught. But she hid all those emotions behind her eyes, refusing to let even a flicker of them show. She knew better than to fall apart right now. Panic and grief were exactly what Sylas wanted, so the more she gave him, the easier she'd get manipulated. She needed to stay calm so that she could get answers and find an opening. It took a long momen

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2250 An Unexpected Call

    At the Carver residence, the warmth in the courtyard hadn't faded yet. The leaves on the locust tree rustled overhead like a slow song. Sunlight was scattered across the stone table in soft patches, and the smell of the coffee was still drifting through the air. Aria was still taking in the love and understanding from Titus and Warren. She could also still feel the heat from Landon's palm against her skin, and the worry that had been sitting behind her eyes had eased off a little. She was sinking into the quiet of it. Even her breathing had slowed. But right in the middle of all that, her phone buzzed in her pocket. It was faint, but clear enough to cut straight through the silence of the courtyard. The soft buzz was hitting her with so much unease. Aria instantly tensed up. The hand around her cup went still, and her fingers, which had only just loosened up, pulled tight again. That heavy feeling she'd managed to shake a few minutes ago came creeping back with more caution. Wi

    Landon reached over to check the coffee on the table, then pressed a warm mug into Aria's hands. He said softly, "Drink something warm first." Sam trailed after him and flopped down on the chair beside Aria, curling his small frame into the cushions. He stayed quiet and behaved himself, only sneaking glances up at the elders and then over at Aria every so often. The courtyard went quiet for a beat. All they could hear was the wind moving through the locust tree, with steam rising off the coffee. Warren and Titus shared a look, and each one caught the same thought in the other's eyes. After all, both men had seen enough of life that they didn't need words. They sighed at the same time, heavy with that particular ache grandfathers carry for their grandchildren. Underneath it sat something softer and hopeful. Warren lowered himself back into his chair and picked up his cup, thumbing the rim while he figured out where to start. When he finally spoke, he looked at Aria and Landon wi

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2248 The Grand Plan

    Sylas had two options. He would have to take Aria out before she could track him down and end the problem for good. It was either that or he sped up the soul transfer and used the Reincarnation Mirror to rebuild his body as fast as possible. Then, he'd be able to put himself somewhere even heaven's laws couldn't reach him. Stepping outside the three realms and slipping past the Five Elements was an impossibly tough task. People had been trying to achieve that for as long as anyone could remember, and not one of them had ever managed it. Breaking free of heaven's control was that hard. But Sylas had been working toward this for a long time, and his ambition alone said everything about the kind of man who'd actually try. Jorell's rushed footsteps grew fainter and fainter, until they finally disappeared into the dead quiet of the estate. The courtyard went silent again. It was so quiet that even the wind brushing through the dried vines sounded loud. Inside the chamber, the gree

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2247 Unrest

    Sylas had specially designed the Soul Lock Grove's layout for Nunzio. The day Nunzio met Sylas' expectations would also be the day he died.At that moment, Nunzio was completely absorbed in Sylas' treatment and utterly devoted to him. He had no idea that the man he served with absolute loyalty harbored such ruthless intentions. He took everything as a sign of favor.The pain in Nunzio's body gradually faded, replaced by a warm current flowing through him. Almost immediately, he began looking at Sylas with even deeper reverence. The dark glow at Sylas' fingertips slowly withdrew as he closed his eyes to rest. The chilling energy around him receded slightly, though it still deterred anyone from approaching. The chamber fell into a dead silence. Only the faint crackling of the eternal lamp and Nunzio's heavy breathing could be heard. The atmosphere itself was suffocating.Suddenly, hurried footsteps shattered the silence in the courtyard. They were chaotic and urgent, nothing like
