Chapter 285 Warren Gives Carver Group to Aria

ผู้เขียน: Night Eleven
Warren's grip tightened on his walking cane as Owen continued speaking, unaware of the growing anger. "Dad, Fiona and I discussed it—it's not fair to keep Mindy in such a precarious situation. We were thinking of officially adopting her during the family meeting. What do you think?"

Warren's eyes narrowed into slits, his walking stick threatening to splinter under the pressure. "Absolutely not! Have you forgotten you have a biological daughter?"

Owen stiffened at that. Then, he replied hoarsely, "Dad, it has been so many years. Can we really find her? Perhaps she's already—"

"Shut your mouth! How did I raise such a callous son?" Warren roared before abruptly hanging up.

Owen sat on the couch for a long time, staring at his phone. He didn't want anyone to replace Rainbow, but she had been missing for so long. They needed to move on.

He scrolled through his phone's gallery, his finger lingering on a picture of his daughter. "My little Rainbow," he murmured, his voice thick with emot

    Warren didn't mind at all. He laughed heartily. "Come over here, Rainbow. Look at what I've prepared for you. This burger was your favorite when you were little. "All your brothers are established in their careers. They were ecstatic when they heard that you'd been found. They wouldn't dream of competing with their little sister for the company. That's what weaklings do."Keith chimed in, "Mr. Carver Senior speaks the truth, Ms. Carver. Mr. Jeffrey insisted on seeing you as soon as he woke up this morning. He would have pulled out his IV needle if the doctor hadn't stopped him."Warren nodded. "Jeffrey wants nothing more than for me to pass the company down to you. When he was a kid, he used to carry you around on his back all the time. Leon is also acting in movies to save up for your wedding.""Grandpa," Aria said, handing Warren a mug of warm water. "Let's talk about this later. Your health should be your priority right now. It's time for you to take your medicine."Warren was

    Jeffrey inhaled deeply in the county hospital's ICU ward. Everyone else had seen Aria except for him!He turned to Frank. "Mr. Levin, why didn't Grandpa visit me here with Aria?""Mr. Carver Senior came, but you were sleeping." Frank peeled an apple for him. "I heard Mr. Watson say that Mr. Carver Senior's chronic illness is flaring up again, so Ms. Aria is treating him."Jeffrey's shoulders were still wrapped in bandages. "I need someone to treat me too," he mumbled, a hint of petulance in his voice."Mr. Jeffrey," Frank said with a smile. "Mr. Carver Senior is finally reunited with Ms. Rainbow after such a long time. Perhaps you can wait a few more days? He'll remember you eventually."Jeffrey chuckled sarcastically. "He's the same as always."Frank smiled and said nothing."This is a good way to go about it, though. Only with that will certain people come to know who's the real daughter of the Carver family," Jeffrey said, seemingly insinuating something.Frank caught on to

    Boss Carver: "I'm in a meeting. Deal with it yourself." Racer Carver: "Elijah is in the same industry too. Go to him."Actor Carver: "I'm not free. Go to Percy instead."Lawyer Carver: "You'll have to pay an exorbitant fee for my services."Celebrity Carver: "I'm speechless."Lawyer Carver: "Go to your company. The family won't just watch as your reputation is destroyed."Actor Carver: "His company won't be any help. His acting is too horrible for that."Racer Carver: "Got it. If things don't work out, Leon, you can always inherit the family business."Boss Carver: "That, I agree with." Celebrity Carver: "Hah, I don't! Don't try to foist it on me! Tell Jeffrey to do it instead—his job is too dangerous!"Lawyer Carver: "He's never on his phone. He's probably in the middle of a mission somewhere."Racer Carver: "I'll fund Leon's rivals with a million bucks so that he can inherit the family business."Boss Carver: "Make it two million."Invisible Carver: "@Everyone I come b

    "Did you just say that Landon is with Rainbow?" Percy seized the key detail. "Everyone in Janovin knows he broke off the engagement. What's he doing there?"Jeffrey pursed his lips. "I'm not sure, but he said that she's his girlfriend.""What?" The other five brothers exploded."That's inappropriate of him!""Tell us, Leon, what the hell is your boss thinking?""How did Rainbow become his girlfriend?"The brothers turned to Leon all at once. Leon had been silent for a while because he was searching for air tickets. With Rainbow found, he thought he should fulfil his responsibility as her brother and pick her up as soon as possible. The stylist was still admiring the condition of Leon's skin. "Stage makeup looks good on you, Mr. Carver. Please don't look at the gossip online. They're claiming that you're promiscuous, but they're just trying to bring you down."Leon suddenly said, "What do you think girls now like, Clary? I have to give Rainbow a surprise."He had such a dopey

    Landon paused. Aria leaned closer toward him and said, "I've known you for a long time, but because of what I heard at the hospital, I've always assumed that you were a member of the Carver family."Now that I think of it, something isn't right with that. Frank listens to you, and Mr. Lowe accompanies you to the hospital himself. "It's not just members of the Carver family who can command such deference, but also members of the York family—the latter more so."Aria's gaze fell on his wrist. "You always wear that rosary bracelet that helps to relieve the uneasiness of the body and mind. I should've figured out who you are a long time ago."Landon coughed lightly as he supported Aria. His lips were pale as he said, "I thought I could keep that under wraps. I'm sorry."His handsome features looked even more harmless when he wasn't wearing his glasses. He looked especially elegant and pious as the winds blew. "But you ended up figuring it out anyway.""I'm Landon York." He smiled. "

    Aria was speechless. That wasn't what she'd asked, was it?Landon said, "Those words used to feel like shackles binding me. No matter how I tried to free myself from that, they reminded me that I wouldn't be able to decide who I'd get married to.""I can treat your sickness—" Aria had just started speaking when Landon interrupted her with a chuckle. "But now I'm glad that they serve to tie you and I together."Aria looked confused, which was a rare expression on her. Landon held her in his arms. His heart thumped steadily and firmly in his chest. "I've had feelings for you since a long time ago, and they're completely unrelated to who you might be."Aria raised her head, wanting to look at him, but he, feeling insecure, pressed her head into his chest. "I don't have any unadvisable pastimes, and I'm good at earning money. Perhaps you could take some time to consider getting together with me.""Sure." Aria's nose was buried in his clothes, and she could feel him breathing. He was

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 292 Returning to Janovin

    Warren had assumed that he'd have to spend a lot of time convincing Aria to return to Janovin with him, but she agreed readily.This made Warren very eager to return there. Aria prepared his medicine before telling him about her plans. "You should return to Janovin first, Grandpa. I'll go later after picking up my grandma.""You want me to go back first?" Warren was reluctant to be apart from Aria, so he threw a tantrum like a kid. "No."Aria chuckled. "The medical resources in this county are limited. Your health condition means that I need to treat you with all I have, but they're short of many herbs here.""I'll go with you to meet your grandma, then." Warren's words brooked no refusal. "The Carver family is indebted to her. I should've visited her to thank her long ago."Aria couldn't very well say no to that. Before their departure, Aria visited Jeffrey. He woke up just as she was adjusting the drip rate of the IV bag he was hooked to. He grinned. "Hey, Aria."There seem

    Georgina had been waiting for Aria since getting her call in the afternoon. She and Sarah felt anxious when they watched Aria's livestream. Thankfully, Lucas was also present and told them about the plan to arrest the criminals. Georgina would've bought tickets to Uludon immediately if not for that. "That's Aria, isn't it, Ms. Harris? That car looks so expensive—and it has a Janovian license plate!"Janovian? Georgina looked up, only to see six luxury cars parked over there. Aria had come out of the vehicle leading the envoy, supporting an old man as they walked over. The old man wore a suit. "How did Aria get to know those people? They're obviously wealthy at first glance!"As Georgina's neighbors in the alley milled around, she smiled. "They're her biological family."Aria had told Georgina everything she needed to on the phone the previous day. As thorough as she was, she worried that Georgina would overthink it. At the end of the call, she mentioned, "I set my sights

    Landon's sudden appearance wasn't just a coincidence. With Aria's intelligence, she would figure something out soon—he 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 place… 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 true—handsome 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 Call   Chapter 1628 The Labyrinth

    Landon was still handling the stragglers behind Aria when he paused, his gaze flicking upward. Cameras were mounted in every corner—too 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 incomprehensible—something rhythmic, otherworldly. It was less like a speech and more like a chant—an 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 it—one designed to kill anyone who dared to enter, no matter their strength. Dave wasn't afraid. He had more pressing priorities—destroying documents, erasing traces, minimizing damage.His bodyguard stayed close, watching for anyone who might try to stop them.Aria, moving swiftly, reached the lower floor—only to halt. Mist curled along the ground, thickening with every step. The air turned icy. And the corridor behind her…

    "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

    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 town—it'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

    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. Please—carry on, everyone."Aria listened in stunned silence. Landon hadn't lied. His life

    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 saying—but 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 bidding—congratulations to our newest member, Mr. Tiger—""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

    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

    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

    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
