The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 650 Aria Takes Office
A company would change drastically whenever someone new took office. No one could say for sure where the new CEO's first strike would be aimed at. Every department was discussing Aria, but none of the employees had seen her face before. Aside from the Carvers, the media was more wary of Landon. Without Landon's permission, no reporter dared release a front-facing photo of Aria. It was known that the washrooms in a large-scale company was where the gossip was at, and that was true for Carver Group as well.Aria had overheard two employees putting lipstick on say to each other, "Do you think the new CEO will be adept in managing the company?""Who knows. I heard that she's pretty young. You know as well as I about the situation of our company. There are so many shareholders; who would listen to her?""None of them, probably. She came out of nowhere after all. It's none of our business anyway; we're just ordinary employees. If things don't work out, we can just leave."Aria walked
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 651 Shareholder Meeting
The low-level employees were all freaking out, as none of them expected the new CEO to come over for an inspection. They were all stunned as Aria passed by, followed by Keith. Keith appeared to be refined and gentle, but there was a terrifying, intimidating coldness that only employees could pick up on. This was especially true for those in the secretariat; a chill ran down their backs upon the sight of Keith, and everyone who was discussing between themselves clammed up immediately. They'd assumed that the new CEO would be meek and uptight, seeing as she was from the countryside, so they were all pleasantly shocked when they saw Aria for the first time.They had never met anyone who was more intimidating than both Keith and the bodyguards. Even Mindy had paled in comparison to Keith when she had visited the company. Aria, on the other hand, proved to be unforgettable, both in appearance and the way she conducted herself. Wearing a black leather jacket, a white shirt, and a high
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 652 Shutting the Door
They concluded that Aria was quite smart. One day had only passed since the banquet, and yet she knew who everyone was. Even if Warren was helping her, this didn't discount the fact that she had a shockingly great memory. She had also thrown the pen with great accuracy. The shareholders were old, not stupid. Aria was more than she looked on the surface, and if they were smart, they would have some self-preservation instead of doing anything dumb.Hugo West was a crafty old man. "I didn't expect you to know about me, Aria. You really do take after Mr. Carver Senior in this aspect—you care about us old men."He was saying this on purpose to flatter Aria, who smiled. "I was worried that you'd be tired, Mr. West. If you have any good news, share it with Mr. Chary in private."Hugo was on Owen's side, so he wanted to rope other shareholders into expressing his stance. He didn't expect to be interrupted before he could start. He could only pat his bald head and guffaw. "Jon here has s
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 653 Bold Actions
Upon seeing this, Owen said angrily, "What are you doing, Aria? Those are all your elders!" "Did your grandpa not tell you this? It is most important that we commit this to memory—we're only here all thanks to the shareholders who followed in the Carver family's footsteps. "Open the door this instant!"As the fury rushed to his head, Owen forgot everything Ian had told him, which was not to act impulsively. Today was the new CEO's first day in the position, and Owen should act normally so that no one could find any fault with him. Aria stopped rapping her knuckles on the table. As she raised a brow, Owen felt the intimidating weight of her gaze on him. "We're in the middle of a shareholder meeting, Mr. Carver, and you're just a manager."She called Owen a manager, which made him furious. Warren wasn't doing quite well during the past few years, and he'd only join shareholder meetings if he were able to, which meant that Owen had been the one sitting at the head of the table.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 654 Accusations
Owen was scary in that he remained polite no matter what he thought about the subject matter. Even if he'd lost his composure, he could adjust accordingly. Ian was right. He wasn't in a hurry to vie against Aria for power. He should wait patiently for Aria to make a mistake.He'd also brought some documents with him, which were about Aria's academic status. Aria was indeed a talented designer, but her academic credentials were nothing to shout about. Owen chuckled. He wasn't in a position to bring the matter up himself, so he had given some of them to Hugo. After being suppressed, Hugo noticed that Owen was looking in his direction. He'd waited for so long to be vindicated, and so he quickly said, while fishing some documents out of his briefcase, "Before the meeting starts, I want to ask our new CEO some questions."He continued, looking at Aria, "These documents are about your life in Southbury. You've never learned business management, and you're still a student in a vocatio
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 655 Uncovering the Truth
"You should be familiar with these accounts, Mr. West." Aria's smile widened. "The other shareholders should take a look too."None of the shareholders dared say anything.Hugo wanted to explain. "The accountants are in charge of these accounts. Also, some of the investments here were made after we all agreed on them. I'll call over those involved now.""You don't need to go to all that trouble," Aria added blandly. "You seem to forget that Mr. Watson has already told the police to investigate this matter."Hugo shot up from his seat. He was too anxious to remain seated. He'd thought that Aria was humiliated after his joke, but now he was at risk of losing his position as a shareholder. He might also be sent to jail if the police investigation uncovered anything incriminating. "Mr. Carver, say something! Mr. Carver!" Hugo called out to Owen, whom he'd been helping the past few years, even if it meant that he couldn't support some of Warren's decisions.Owen wouldn't leave him al
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 656 Adding Fuel to the Fire
Owen had never been looked down like this before. The shareholders were just short of saying outright that Owen was incapable, as he'd let this happen under his supervision and was unfit to lead this company. Owen's rage and embarrassment could be seen on his face. He wanted to lose his temper, but he knew he'd be adding fuel to the fire no matter what he said. He'd rather acknowledge his incapability than admit that he was involved in whatever Hugo had done, especially because Hugo had broken the law. Those outside the conference room had no idea what they were fighting about, but they knew something—things would be completely different in the company starting today. Keith stood behind Aria, pushing his glasses up. His gaze held excitement as he realized why Aria had told him not to do anything. It was because Aria had this card up her sleeve. Warren was worried that Aria, with her young age and ruthless methods, might risk angering some shareholders. They might also be wa
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 657
Before they could speculate further, Aria made her stance clear. "Carver Group will never work with Krowonian companies. This rule has been in place since a century ago, and it's effective even now. I want everyone to remember that Carver Group is different from other companies. Even in times of peace, we'll always have the history of our country in mind."Aria turned to Hugo again. "I'll provide information to the police that will aid their investigation. I have reason to suspect that you're a corporate spy working for Krowonian companies."Carver Group was known to be patriotic, so things would go out of control if Aria reported the existence of a Krowonian corporate spy. Hugo paled. "I'm not a spy! Really! I just wanted to make some money. I'm really not a corporate spy!"If he was accused of such a crime, his family would be done for! The other shareholders hadn't thought of this too, evidently. Sweat beaded on their foreheads upon hearing Aria's words. They'd forgotten that

Aliya had never heard of the Special Missions Unit until today. But after seeing Pedro's panicked reaction, it didn't take long for her to realize that this was a group with more authority than even her father.Still, some people lived so long in privilege that they convinced themselves they were untouchable. Logic no longer applied to them.Aria was done entertaining Aliya's ignorance. With a flick of her wrist, she signaled someone to silence her. Then, she turned to Aliya with icy disdain."Don't worry," Aria said. "I'll take you with me when I pay your father a visit. Then we can ask him together what his name truly means in this state."Her voice was calm but sharp."You seem to have forgotten that his power—any power—comes from the people. And now, you're using that power to treat their lives like currency. To buy yourself a life of superiority."She stepped closer. "Organ trafficking is illegal here. That's the crime we've confirmed so far. But don't worry. We'll find the
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1634 The Emergency
When Pedro heard that it was the Special Missions Unit, his forehead was covered in sweat immediately. Even his mind had gone blank. At that moment, all he could think about was how doomed they were!Others might not have heard of the unit before. However, as a state official, there was no way Pedro wouldn't know them. In fact, the Special Missions Unit was something they had no control over.Technically, the Special Missions Unit had way more clearance than they did. After all, they were in charge of big cases. Sometimes, they would even work with the special troops.The Special Missions Unit belonged to the country, and they were extremely mysterious. Even people with high clearance wouldn't know who they were in real life.Pedro only managed to find his voice after a long time. As he wiped the sweat off his forehead, he chuckled awkwardly."Oh, this is all a misunderstanding. May I know who I am speaking to? I never expected the Special Missions Unit to be carrying out a missio
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1633 Cormac Windham
Aliya had never met Aria before, but this was the first time she'd seen a young woman more poised—and far more arrogant—than herself. That only fueled her rage. And the fact that Aria was stunningly beautiful didn't help either.Scoffing, she snapped, "Do you dare let us make our calls? Let's see if you still look so smug after that."The other wealthy attendees stiffened. None of them moved. With Aria in the room, they had the sinking feeling that calling in favors wouldn't end well.Aria merely tilted her head and smiled. "Of course," she said, then turned to her team. "Please hand this lady her phone. Let her make her call."The members of the Special Missions Unit didn't question her. They knew Aria well enough to understand what she was doing—she wanted the bigger fish. The call would be recorded, and with any luck, it would lead them straight to someone higher up the chain.Aliya was momentarily thrown off by Aria's easy agreement. But she quickly chalked it up to ignorance.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1632 Humiliation
Aliya squinted at the unmasked man beside Aria. Now that his face was fully visible, something about him sparked a flicker of recognition. She lowered her gaze, trying to recall where she'd seen him before.Then a sharp gasp cut through the air."He's from the York family… Janovin's York family! Wait—was he Mr. Crow? Were they working together the whole time?"Even though they were all wealthy people, they weren't in the same ranks. No one dared to mess with the York family at all.If the circumstances were different, the arrogant, wealthy people from earlier would've tried to exchange contacts with Landon. That way, they could've partnered up in the future. However, with what had happened that day, those people were in a daze.Meanwhile, Aria knew those people still had no idea what was going on. So, she just removed her disguise and showed them who she really was.Aliya was stunned by what Aria had done. When she saw who the latter truly was, her gaze was filled with jealousy.
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1631 You Cannot Afford to Offend Him
The wealthy clients that were left behind at the auction had connections to powerful people, and Dave didn't think Aria was capable enough to deal with every one of them. Although Farshya was well-developed, it had always been a country that focused on connections.Power meant everything, and Dave wanted to see how Aria and her team would deal with his guests. If he remembered correctly, Aliya was the daughter of a great leader in the state. She wanted a womb from a young lady because she wanted to have children.Before the clients got what they wanted, Aria had offended a lot of big shots. Dave thought about it for a second and hoped Aria would suffer as much as he did.Dave was right about one thing. Aliya wasn't anxious at all when someone infiltrated the auction and took control of the event. She was only stunned for a moment at first. Once everything had settled down, she calmed down and even looked a little proud."I suggest you talk to your leader first before deciding to cu
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1630 Cleaning Up the Mess
Dave had escaped, but just barely.He'd saved his life, nothing more. The documents he needed to destroy were still intact. Everything had gone completely off script.Every exit had been sealed. If he hadn't killed a villager and disguised himself with a spell, he would've died at the auction. He didn't receive any news about the ambush and was caught entirely off guard.He wasn't in Janovin, and security was that tight there. With his connections, he could've found out what was going to happen in advance. However, that wasn't the case at all.Slipping into a grimy back alley, Dave cursed his luck. Most of his men had been rounded up in the village. He could only hope a few had managed to slip through. But with sirens wailing in the distance, he knew hope was thin."Who the hell was that?" he muttered, wiping dirt off his face with a shaking hand. Normally a stickler for cleanliness, Dave was too rattled to care. "And where's the real Eden?"His mind snapped into action. The scho
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1629 The Mysterious Landon
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…
The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call Chapter 1627 Cutting Their Losses
"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
