Chapter 99 Your Boyfriend

Author: Night Eleven
"My name is David Simmons. Miss, we only intended to scare you off, nothing more. We thought you'd leave Southbury if we just threatened you a bit," the lead thug confessed, displaying remarkable honesty and no intention of escaping.

"That's right. We didn't expect you to beat us up!"

This was the most absurd situation they had ever encountered in their line of work.

Aria had heard enough. "You did manage to scare me, so I need you to compensate for my mental distress."

The thugs exchanged nervous glances. Who exactly was the one who seemed shaken here? They were the ones sporting broken bones and bruised faces.

Aria smiled. "Are you not willing to compensate? Okay, then. I can call the police, and you'll have a criminal record."

"Don't! We're willing to pay up. How much do you want? We'll pool our money and even give you a cut of every future job!" David reached out his hand, hissing in pain.

Aria's tone remained indifferent. "I'm not interested in your money. Since you disru

    After hanging up, Aria quickly washed up. She knew Warner might be taking the bait, but only if she played this right. Once ready, she left her room to find Landon at his desk on a video call. Aria gestured that she was heading to Warner's place. Landon muted his mic and smiled. "Alright. After my meeting, I'll take Sam to Jethro's place and wait for you." Aria nodded. "That's what I was thinking. I'm heading out." She started to leave, then stopped. "Oh, have Sam hack into Warner's home security cameras. I'll need that." Landon gave her a quick "Got it." Aria headed outside and got in the car. Once inside, she called Ulric. "Mr. Bancroft, I made contact with Warner last night, but he's being really cautious about this. He just asked me to meet at his house. He probably wants to test me." She paused for a moment. "I have a plan that needs your cooperation. We can expose his true colors and secure your position at the same time." Hearing that, Ulric's voice dropped low.

  • The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call   Chapter 2007 A Conversation with Warner

    "Hello, Mr. Stonehand." Aria stood at the back door, smiling at Warner. "Hope you don't mind me dropping by this late. I wanted to ask you about a few things." She paused, then added, "Oh, Mr. Culver's here too. Did I come at a bad time?" Warner kept his expression steady. "Mr. Culver came by to discuss some work matters." "Really now..." Aria raised an eyebrow. "I thought Mr. Bancroft told him to stay home during the investigation." Warner smiled. "I called him here for the investigation. Since Mr. Mourne filed that complaint, I need to look into it properly. We just finished talking, so I was about to send him home." Aria's smile didn't waver. "You really take your job seriously, Mr. Stonehand." "Thank you, Ms. Carver." Warner gave a slight nod. "But why are you at my back door? People might get the wrong idea about us if they found out." "I don't care what people think." She looked at him calmly. "Aren't you going to invite me in?" Warner stepped aside. "Please, come

    Seeing this, Aria looked at Landon and raised an eyebrow, asking what was going on. She wondered why these two were turning on each other. Landon smiled faintly. "Fennel, this is your last chance." Fennel nodded, then said, "Jethro, you know damn well if I'm talking nonsense or not. Mr. Bancroft's right inside. I'm going to report everything to him!" Jethro's face darkened as he grabbed Fennel's wrist hard. "You're playing with fire, Fennel." He dropped his voice to a threat. "If you talk, we both go down together. Don't you want to live?" Fennel shook off his hand with a cold laugh. "Did you see this coming when you kidnapped me? Besides, if I turn you in, you're the one who dies. I'll get promoted and take your position." "Who told you that?" Jethro's voice was low. "Don't be rash. Calm down first."Seeing this, Aria cut into their conversation. "Mr. Culver, aren't you in a hurry to leave anymore?" Jethro turned around, glanced at Landon and Sam in the car, then looked

    The newcomer was Warner Stonehand, the chief secretary of Portfall. Ulric turned to face him. "My assistant must've forgotten. I'll have to give her a good talking-to." Aria looked at Warner. "Mr. Stonehand, my apologies. I forgot to send you an invitation." "No harm done." Warner smiled lightly. "Young people make mistakes sometimes, and that's okay. Just be more careful next time." Seeing this, Jethro moved closer. "Mr. Stonehand, it's been a while. I didn't see you earlier, so I thought you weren't coming." There was something meaningful in his expression. Warner looked at him. "Mr. Culver, it really has been a while. You've been keeping customs running smoothly. Keep up the good work." Aria caught this exchange and realized Warner wasn't as simple as he seemed. The whole point of this banquet was to take down Jethro, but watching him greet Warner gave her a bad feeling. In Portfall, if the governor resigned or was incapacitated, the chief secretary usually took over

    "I don't really understand." Tucker looked up at Aria. "If the lights go out, the whole place will be dark. It could cause chaos." Aria said casually, "It won't be long—just cut the lights for two minutes. There won't be any problems, so just do what I say." Tucker nodded. "Alright, I'll follow your lead." "I'll give you a signal when it's time." Aria remained calm. "I'm going to check the venue setup. Come with me." "Okay." Tucker followed behind Aria as she walked toward the banquet hall entrance. Standing in the center of the banquet hall, Aria traced the edge of the long tables draped in golden cloth. Lights from the crystal chandelier danced across the utensils. "Where's tonight's menu?" Aria looked at Tucker. "Are the chefs our people?" Tucker nodded. "The chefs are ours, but they've been prepping food nonstop. The menu should be with them." Hearing this, Aria headed straight for the kitchen. Two people were inside preparing the evening's dishes. Tucker raised

    Landon told Aria, "Maybe only someone who understands the notebook can see what's really there." "Someone who understands it..." Aria frowned. "I just had a thought. What if Charlotte's father used to work with Mariner and Fennel? But then something went wrong between them. "Perhaps during the argument, Charlotte's father wanted to take them all down with him, so he reported them. But on his way there, they staged that accident and killed him." Landon glanced at her. "That's a bold theory, but that could be possible." Aria propped up her chin. "You think it could be true?" "Yeah." Landon smiled faintly. "But we'll need careful proof for bold theories like that." Aria looked up at him with intrigue. "Good point. The banquet should reveal everything." Sam's head popped up when he heard this. "Banquet? Does that mean I get to eat my fill again?" Aria smiled. "Yep, your only job is to eat." "Yay!" Sam beamed. "Boss, you're the best." Just as he finished speaking, the ca
