Chapter 400 Bring down the Layne Family

作者: Night Eleven
Philip was bewildered. Did Landon just address him as Mr. Wagner?

Philip felt out of place standing there. "I…"

"I heard you admire my fiancée and that I can't hold a candle to you." Landon coughed lightly before smiling. "I thought it was just a gossip among the commoners."

Philip's expression contorted, struck by Landon's words like an arrow.

Suddenly, Philip remembered his teasing remarks about Aria on Panne Street, particularly about her sharing everything with her boyfriend.

He wished he could rewind time, clamp his mouth shut, and stop his own blabbering.

"Mr. York, it's a misunderstanding, truly," Philip clarified.

Philip figured everyone in their social circle feared Landon and that no matter what Kenny might say behind Landon's back, he'd still cower under a single glance from the man.

It was an unspoken rule—everyone was fair game for comparison except Landon, who was untouchable.

Landon stared at Philip, a smile playing on his lips. "It's nighttime already. Is you

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2078 It Really Was Him

    The young woman trembled, her eyes brimming with fear. Even so, she spoke softly. "My name is Yona Seaton. I'm…"Yona trailed off. Lifting her gaze, she looked at Aria, Landon, and Wynric, unsure if she should tell them everything. What if they were working with Otto, and this so-called rescue was just a test?Aria saw through Yona's hesitation and offered a gentle smile. "Don't worry. We're not the bad guys. The choice is yours—you can tell us if you want to. If you'd rather not, you can keep it to yourself."Yona swallowed hard. "You're all Farshyans, right? You probably know Dashiell Wycliffe, the Deputy Secretary of Defense?""Dashiell?" Aria's eyes glinted. "I've heard of him. What's your connection to him?""I-I used to be his assistant," Yona said, lowering her head.Seeing that, Aria immediately draped her jacket over Yona. "So, you're Dashiell's assistant? How did you end up in Otto's hands?""We were on a work trip to Mecira. Mr. Wycliffe was making a call in his offic

    "Okay. Sit tight. We're hitting the road."Wynric sat up, pressed the accelerator, and the car surged forward. Eventually, they stopped in front of a luxurious villa, ablaze with light, music, and laughter. Security guards stood sentinel at the entrance, inspecting invitations."We're here."Wynric parked and stepped out. "This is the place I told you about. I hope it helps with what you're doing."Looking up, Aria said, "You mentioned the NIO's local chief. Is he here?"Wynric threw his hand up in the air. "I'm not sure. We'll know once we get inside. But I think he will be—he's close to Otto, sort of a mentor."Wynric led the way to the entrance. When he stopped before the guards, he handed over his invitation. After a quick glance at the trio, the guard returned the invitation. "Enjoy."The trio entered the villa, finding it packed with people in their finery. Men wore sharp suits; women wore luxurious jewelry and gowns. Guests stood in groups, wine glasses in hand, their

    Wesson froze. He turned back slowly, disbelief written across his face. "W-Why are you behind me?"Aria's eyes hardened. "We can be anywhere we like. It's a shame things didn't go as you planned. You tried to burn this place down to cover your tracks. Too bad it didn't work."Wesson's expression tightened as he snapped back to his senses. "Where are the relics? Tell me now, or I'll order my men to shoot you all."Aria stepped forward, calm. "Is that right? If you'd burned us back there, you could've lied your way out. But are you sure you want to pull the trigger here? Go ahead if you don't mind losing your post."Wesson's face went cold. "What do you want?""Simple," Aria said bluntly. "Tell me the name of the Farshyan working with you. Reveal him, and I might give you a chance."Wesson laughed. "So, you want to know about that. Fine. I'll tell you."He smiled slyly before continuing, "It's you. You've been taking my orders."Aria answered coolly, "You're delusional. Since you

    As long as the relic incident stayed secret, Wesson still had a chance to explain. He could accept punishment or a demotion. But if word spread that he had stolen Farshyan relics, Athara would make him a scapegoat, and he would be the focus of everyone's fury.Madden watched the building burn and ground his teeth. "Wesson, you're challenging Farshya. If anything happens to them, you'll go down with them."Wesson sounded detached. "As long as nobody knows what happened, no one will believe your one-sided claims.""You monster! If you had any conscience, none of this would have happened!" Madden was being held down and could only glare helplessly.Wesson sneered. "Conscience? Hah. If I had that, I wouldn't be chief of the NIO. The world is full of saints, but sinners are the ones who survive. If they die in there, both my ally and I can walk free."…At that moment, Aria heard voices above the basement."Mr Ahern should be here. Move the relics out and meet him." Aria and Landon t

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2074 A Happy Life

    "Iris, what happened?" Aria frowned and reached out, but her hand passed through thin air. The sight confirmed her suspicions. Iris smiled gently. "Aria, it's time for me to go. I've been happy spending time with you."Her lower body was fading, leaving only her upper torso hovering. "Grandma said something that brought my memories back. I was supposed to be trapped here, but my brothers helped me escape. They told me to find someone or a scent I recognized to save them."Aria said quietly, "So the poem about the emerald and human was about you? If you can take human form and feel emotion, you must have existed for a very long time.""That's right. You're so smart." Iris kept smiling. "I need to return to the emerald doll now. I'm so glad I met you. Goodbye."She looked at Aria with reluctant joy. Slowly her form became translucent, then dissolved into a soft white light that flowed into the emerald doll in the crate behind Aria.Aria opened the crate and found an emerald doll i

    Aria stopped and looked at Iris. "Voice? What kind of voice?"Iris tilted her head. "Well, I don't know how to describe it, but it's definitely calling me over."Aria narrowed her eyes. "If that's the case, lead us there. We'll be right behind you.""Okay. Follow me," Iris said, nodding.Iris walked ahead, with Aria and the others following close behind.Suddenly, Aria glanced at Landon. "Have you already figured something out?"Landon paused briefly, then smiled. "You give me too much credit. I'm not that capable."She studied him for a moment before turning away. "Fair enough. I believe you."They followed Iris to an old building on the edge of Draketown. It looked to be at least a century old, worn with age, and its door secured only by a rusted lock.Just as Aria stepped closer, a middle-aged woman selling things by the roadside called out, "Are you all going in there?""That's right," Aria replied. "We'd like to take a look."The woman frowned. "You'd best stay outside.
