Chapter 649 Anxiety

Penulis: Night Eleven
Georgina's first encounter with her blood granddaughter Lily was fraught with tension. Though she had considered shutting the door on Lily, the girl's tearful pleas—her eyes swollen and red—halted her.

"I just wanted to see you, Grandma. Why do you dislike me so—is it because of my mother? My mother and I are different people, Grandma!"

Lily was great at acting. As someone who had lived another life, she knew how to make Georgina's heart soften.

"Am I no longer your granddaughter in your heart, Grandma? Weren't you and Grandpa excited when I was born?"

The elderly residents of the neighborhood pitied her, and they advised Georgina to let her in first despite the misunderstandings between them.

After a brief hesitation, Georgina decided not to think so poorly of Lily.

Lily didn't ask Georgina for anything. She gave Georgina some supplements and helped her tidy up the herbs at the clinic before massaging her legs.

Before leaving, she said, "I'll visit you again, Grandma. You sho

    "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

    "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.

    Aria turned slightly. "Look after them. I'll check it out."Landon replied, "Okay."Instead of heading straight for the glass cabinets, Aria stopped before a display filled with trinkets in the middle of the shop. The shelves were lined with imitation bronzeware, silverware, and porcelain—shiny, hollow pieces that betrayed their lack of worth.Still, Aria picked up one of the fakes and gave it a gentle tap, pretending to inspect it closely. "Sir, is this real? It looks ancient."She adopted the guise of an amateur. Blaine gave a faint, knowing smile. "Didn't expect someone your age to take an interest in antiques. Whether it's real or not doesn't matter. What matters is whether you like it. Since you picked it up, maybe you're fated with it."He spoke ambiguously, neither confirming nor denying its authenticity.Aria smiled and picked up a ceremonial amethyst ring. "What about this one? A friend told me a real ceremonial amethyst ring should have a patina, but this one feels to
