Chapter 57 My Boss

Penulis: Night Eleven
The newcomer was dressed fashionably, with pale skin and handsome features. With the pair of red headphones around his neck, he didn't look much like a doctor, but rather a rapper.

He sat down beside Aria, muttering, "My grandpa also tells me to do stuff like this. Take care of his old friend's granddaughter, hah. Do I look like I know how to do that?"

He looked Aria up and down, his gaze sharp. "You shocked everyone just now, young lady. For you to say that you came from Heartbound Hall, you sure are bold."

Aria studied his face for a while, and she said, her gaze meaningful, "Malcolm?"

Malcolm's eyes opened wide instantly. He wondered why the young woman before him sounded like his boss when she'd uttered his name. He was convinced he had hallucinated it; anything else was absurd!

Malcolm looked at his phone. His boss had never said that she'd come to the seminar, and the last message in their chat was still her refusing an order.

That was what he thought! His amazing, powerful

    Todd's body went rigid. He then told Aria, "Don't burn your bridges. You never know who you'll need later." "Well, that saying doesn't apply here." Aria's voice was casual. "What's the point of sparing people who do terrible things?" Todd had nothing to say. He could only watch helplessly as they hauled away his cargo, his heart bleeding with every crate. This shipment had huge profit margins. After just a few runs, he'd already made a fortune. Aria looked down at him. "How many times have you done this?" Todd's face was sour. "Third time. This was the biggest load yet..." Aria raised an eyebrow. That meant they'd already shipped Farshyan artifacts overseas twice before. "Take him away." Aria moved her foot off him. "Watch him closely, and don't let him run." "Yes, ma'am." Two people came over. They hauled Todd to his feet and dragged him away. Aria turned to Landon. "Now that we've wrapped things up here, we need to find Charlotte. She's probably the only one who c

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2001 Caught in the Act

    "Ms. Carver." It was Charlotte calling. "Fennel just got home. He thinks I brought someone over and had the security guard at the door test me. He's getting suspicious." Aria's eyes narrowed. "He's suspicious because he doesn't trust you. At least you didn't blow your cover." "So what do I do now?" Charlotte sounded nervous. "I don't know how to act around him. Every time I see his face, I remember my father's accident... I want to kill him myself." Aria kept her voice steady. "Calm down. If you do something to him, you're the one who ends up a criminal. That piece of trash isn't worth going to jail for." She paused. "I've already figured out how to handle him. Just act normal for now, like nothing ever happened." Charlotte let out a small sigh. "Okay. I'll follow your lead." "Hang in there a bit longer." Aria's tone was reassuring. "I don't think your father's accident was just Fennel. The people backing him are also involved in this. Trust me with this—I'll root them out

    Ulric went quiet for a moment. "Are you certain about this? If you're wrong, the fallout would be massive. The public backlash alone—" "I'm absolutely sure." Aria looked up. "Though what I just told you is only the surface. Fennel's got someone behind him—or maybe an entire organization. He's just a small fry." Ulric's voice turned cold. "Someone's backing Fennel? I'm curious—our Public Integrity Office hasn't found a single lead, yet you've already gathered solid evidence. You started investigating the moment you set foot in Portfall, didn't you?" "Yes and no." Aria kept her answer vague. "Someone's been pulling the strings behind a lot of recent incidents in Portfall. If you connect all these events together, you'll find foreign interests behind every single one." The information dump made Ulric fall silent again. If what Aria said was true, the Portfall government hadn't even done anything to deal with it. They'd written everything off as minor incidents. Aria kept going.

    Aria quickly pulled Charlotte out and shut the metal door, then slid the bookshelf back into place. Once that was done, Aria spoke quietly. "Is there a back way out?" "Yeah, there's a garden door in the backyard." Charlotte steadied herself. "You go out the back. I'll deal with him." Aria nodded and moved fast toward where Charlotte had pointed. If they got caught now, whoever was pulling Fennel's strings would know something was up. Then they'd never catch the real mastermind. Moving quickly but quietly, Aria had just reached the back door when she heard the driver's voice at the front. "Ma'am, Mr. Mourne asked me to pick up a document. He said it's in the study." Charlotte acted like nothing was wrong. "Follow me." She turned around and saw that Aria had already vanished. Relief washed over her. The driver, Todd Crowley, followed behind her, then suddenly asked, "Mrs. Mourne, are you home alone?""What's that supposed to mean?" Charlotte's heart lurched, but she forced h

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 1998 The Secret Room

    Aria had no idea who was pulling Fennel's strings yet. One thing was clear, though—whoever it was certainly held a way more powerful position than Fennel did. "We'll just wait for him to screw up then." Landon looked up. "Once we wrap this up, I need to take Sam away for a bit." Hearing this, Aria turned to look at him. "Where to?" Landon lowered his gaze. "I'm taking him along to deal with something. We probably need about a week. I'll bring him back to you when we're done." Aria glanced back at Sam, who'd already conked out against the window. She could tell something was off too. No matter where they were, Sam's priorities never changed. He cared most about food and making money. Then finally, he would sleep off the food coma. "Is it about Sam?" Aria picked up on it immediately. "He's different from before. He's been sleeping way too much." Landon looked at her and nodded. "Yeah. But it's nothing major, so it won't take long to fix." Aria's eyes narrowed slightly. "W

    Aria kept her composure, meeting Fennel's stare head-on. She could feel the heavy wrath clinging to him. But she still did not know where it came from. "I'll be straight with you." Aria's gaze stayed casual, almost careless. "As an esoteric expert, when people hire me to check their layout, I have to tell them what's wrong. Otherwise, I'd be taking money without doing the job. "That's bad for business if word got out." Fennel answered, "Well said." He strode inside, his dress shoes thudding against the marble. His eyes swept over Aria, and his mouth twisted into a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "That's why I rushed right back when Charlotte told me what you'd found. I had to meet an expert like you in person." As he spoke, Aria noticed something on his right ring finger—an unusual emerald ring. The pale green stone had thin red veins running through it. "You're too kind, Mr. Mourne." Aria stayed relaxed on the couch. "I've just picked up a few tricks here and there." F
