Meanwhile, the crowd was still gathered in the hotel lobby.Not everyone was oblivious. Those who witnessed the scene understood what transpired. Some men even felt a pang of shame watching Owen leave so abruptly. How could he abandon his daughter and wife to defend a mere sponsee?In the past, Owen could still be described as kind-hearted, easygoing, and someone who wouldn't judge others based on their social standing. He had, after all, treated his sponsee just like his own.However, after Aria's return, Owen's priorities became muddled, leading to this unfortunate situation.The more capable managers swiftly made their decisions, choosing to stay. They wanted to observe Aria's handling of the aftermath, to see if Warren's chosen successor truly possessed the necessary qualities.After all, being decisive wasn't the only crucial aspect of running a business; astuteness was equally important.Could Aria, a young woman from a small town, truly rise to the challenge?It wasn't th
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 391 Underestimated Aria
"Give me a list of people who got into the company through nepotism," Aria said coolly. "If I'm satisfied with it, you can avoid jail time." Conrad's mind went blank. "Jail?""Your aunt committed a crime for personal gain, and you secured this job through her influence," Aria explained, twirling her amethyst pendant gracefully. "You can't be entirely innocent of her actions." Conrad shrank back, his face draining of color. He wasn't stupid. If the Carver family really were to investigate what Dorothy did, there was no way he could escape unscathed. "Ms. Carver, I'll tell you everything!" he blurted out. "I know all of them, and I can identify them right now!"Aria averted her gaze from him and scanned the crowd impassively. "There's no urgency. Today's my first day managing this hotel, so I'm granting everyone a chance to redeem themselves."If you fail to do so, you'll face the same consequences as Conrad here. The Carver Group has a history of generosity toward long-term emp
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 392 Aria Reorganizes the Hotel
A tense atmosphere gripped the senior staff of the hotel. They felt like they were dangling by a thread, unsure of their fate.Aria's arrival worried them. They knew they could always band together and complain to Warren or even expose some of the hotel's negative aspects if she decided to fire them immediately.However, Aria's decision to give them a chance to redeem themselves threw them into a conundrum. They were unsure whether to stay and try to make amends or leave and find new employment, and this uncertainty gnawed at them.Aria had anticipated this reaction. Upon entering the hotel, she recognized the depth of the problems and knew a one-day fix was impossible. Her immediate priority was Fiona's safety.Aria sought information, but Dorothy remained tight-lipped. Even as the police escorted Dorothy away, she glared at Aria and spat, "Your won't last long in Janovin. Mr. and Mrs. Carver will see through your charade, and Janovin's socialites will never accept you.""Is that

"We'll be leaving now!" It would be disrespectful to Aria if Ignatius hesitated even for a minute.However, Philip couldn't shake a feeling of worry. "Aria, is there anything we can do to help?"Aria regarded them both with a thoughtful expression. "Having you here puts you at risk. If trouble arises, I'll be responsible for your safety as well. Weren't you told by your family that people born under your horoscope need more rest?"Ignatius stammered, "N-No.""I'm letting you know now," Aria said, holding their gaze. "Keep in mind what I said. Once you're home, eat and go to sleep immediately. Don't visit any other place, particularly the Layne residence.""Even if your best friend calls you there, refuse. Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you if something happens again."Ignatius nodded fervently. "The Laynes are just trying to pin the blame on us! We wouldn't dream of going there!""Exactly," Philip chimed in, though his mind was clearly elsewhere.Aria noticed the change
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 394 Who Is Behind Philip
Whenever Kenny brought up his grandfather, Philip would comply without question. Having lost his mother at a young age, Philip dreaded disappointing Yonah the most.This time, however, Philip disagreed. "Kenny, I'm a disappointment anyway. I'm sure Grandpa wouldn't mind since you're there. That's all for now. I'm hanging up.""Philip, are you crazy? Get to the Layne residence now! I—" Before Kenny could finish, Philip had already hung up.Kenny was caught off guard. He never expected Philip to defy him, especially under these circumstances, even after mentioning Yonah. Fury contorted Kenny's features as he gripped his phone.Led by Samuel, the Layne family approached. Samuel eyed Kenny and inquired quietly, "Is Philip not coming?""Mr. Layne Senior, I believe Philip is exhausted from the past two days. He even sounded out of sorts," Kenny promptly replied. "How about I go and keep Moses company?"Samuel refused, his grip tightening on his walking cane as a hacking cough wracked h

Philip immediately did a U-turn after switching off his phone.Ignatius asked, "Philip, aren't we heading back?""No. The safest place for me is to be by Aria's side." Philip had it all figured out.Ignatius raised his eyebrows. "What about me?""You should go home," Philip instructed, gazing at the darkening sky. "My brother will definitely come looking for me at your place. Just tell him you don't know where I am."Ignatius hesitated. "But Mr. Carver saw you today.""He's too preoccupied dealing with Mindy to bother contacting Kenny," Philip assured him, his mind racing. "Park my car at my apartment and take a cab home. Don't waste any time."Recognizing the urgency, Ignatius nodded. "Alright. Leave it to me."Philip knew Kenny well. When Kenny's calls to Philip went unanswered, Kenny started tagging people in their group chat.However, after the incident, there was an unsettling silence from all the socialites.Despite questioning numerous acquaintances, none of them had s

Moses ignored Blake. He stood up and crushed the silver cross under his foot. "People like you just enable evil! Mark my words, you can't save him. I'll drag him down with me!"Jeeves trembled in fear. "M-Mr. Windsor, he…""Time isn't up yet, so it shouldn't harm anyone," Blake said. Everything happened for a reason. Even revenge had its timing.Blake glanced at Jeeves. "Change of plans. Tell Mr. Layne Senior to find Mr. Wagner immediately!"Without Philip, Blake wasn't sure he could save Moses.Blake had meticulously planned for everything. Now, he was thrown off balance, wondering who had forced the entity from Ignatius.He clenched his fists, his gaze intense. The vengeful spirit wasn't at its peak yet, so Blake could suppress it with his current cultivation.If no scapegoat arrived by 9:15 pm, Blake would be powerless against the intense resentment and chaotic energy.Blake kept this crucial information from Samuel, pressuring them to find Philip instead.Kenny also noti
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 397 Aria Starts Investigating
Aria needed to be in the basement. It was the only way to understand what was truly happening.Surprisingly, the hotel's intricate geographical location safeguarded Fiona.This was unlike any situation Aria had faced before. Despite the apparent danger lurking within the hotel, she sensed something unsettling in the chaotic atmosphere. An unsettling energy that, while threatening, seemed to be keeping Fiona's sanity tethered to this place.Aria tapped away at the keyboard, utilizing specialized tools to calculate the optimal path she needed to take. Within Five Elements, there was a technique known as Acupuncture Strike. It seemed the hotel wasn't inherently problematic—just poorly designed elements contributing to a pervasive gloom.The first step to rectifying this disrupted atmosphere was thoroughly examining the basement. There had to be something hidden there that wasn't readily apparent. This was where the topaz stones became crucial.After meticulously planning her course

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
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

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

"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
