Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1271 - Bab 1280

"In the dream, Great-great-Grandpa used a youth paper to send me a message, telling me I must return home to take a look," Aria said. "He left something for me. Did he tell you anything before he passed away?"This question made Rory pause momentarily.When he looked back at Aria, his gaze carried an entirely different emotion. His hands trembled slightly."I've finally waited long enough," Rory said, his eyes reddening. "When Mr. Barron was lying on his bed, he told me that someday, someone would come to retrieve the things he left behind. When that time came, no matter who was in charge of the Carver family, I was to serve that person."In the beginning, I tried to sound Mr. Warren out, but he seemed completely unaware of this matter. Later, I realized Mr. Barron's instructions were designed for an unknown person. He didn't know who this person would be or when they would arrive. It all became a mystery."Rory's voice shook as he continued, "I've waited long enough. I once thoug

"You know about that?" Rory's understanding of his new employer deepened further.Aria nodded slightly. "I've heard some things, but there's one question I'd like to ask, Rory. What role does the Sloane family play in all this? And why would their new patriarch send an invitation to the Carver family?"This question had been puzzling her. No matter how she analyzed it, it didn't make sense. Why would they want the Carver family to participate in the Chamber of Commerce?Rory frowned as well. "The Chamber of Commerce invitation came from the Sloane family?""Yeah." Aria's lips curled in a faint, incredulous smile. "They even delivered it to the hotel. It's ridiculous."He pondered for a moment. "Let me ask Hayden. He might know."Before long, another elderly man entered, his steps light.Rory asked the question in sign language.Hayden nodded, then motioned for Rory to look at his phone.Rory's gaze fell on the screen, and after a brief silence, he handed it to Aria.Aria had

Fiona knew he wouldn't use this kind of trick to deceive her.In her memory, Alaric had always been this way—reckless, untamed, and never one to stoop to lying. If he wanted something, he would take it outright. However, she still needed to confirm it for herself.She didn't end the call. After hearing what he said, the first thing she did was check the company records. Sure enough, there was a small company under her second brother's name.It matched what Alaric had described perfectly.Fiona's face turned pale."Who else knows about this?" Fiona's voice trembled slightly.Alaric was the opposite, sitting casually, his tone nonchalant. "No one else. I stopped it here.""I'll come find you," she said, biting her lips. She had only one thought. It was to take the files from Alaric and find a way to correct the mistake.Alaric's sharp eyes flickered. He picked up the suit jacket draped over the couch. "I'm right next door to your hotel. You don't need to come far. Just head downs

Fiona could feel his warm touch on her wrist. The sensation felt like it could start a fire within her. The feeling was similar to when she wanted to give him an umbrella. Back then, he'd pressed down her wrist with a flicker in his gaze. "Do you like me?"With how handsome Alaric was, Fiona believed that any woman would have feelings for him. However, at the same time, they knew he was dangerous and could not be controlled.After all, Alaric had way too many ex-girlfriends. He would frequently move on to new relationships once he got bored. Therefore, Fiona had long disregarded him as a potential love interest. Plus, she preferred to focus on her studies rather than finding a boyfriend at the time. Although Fiona's heart skipped a beat, she soon realized he was just fooling around."Here's an umbrella. You shouldn't be in the rain when you're already sick." Fiona had just wanted to give him an umbrella. After all, she would have done the same for everyone as the class preside

Alaric's Adam apple bobbed. "Okay. The Sloane family will step back willingly."Alaric had lost. His grandfather had always told him to never reveal his trump card in business, to remain an enigma. Despite his grandfather's disdain for his bloodline, he had taught Alaric what he could, for Alaric was his only grandson.Over the years, Alaric had adhered to that advice and kept his trump card a secret.His father, on the other hand, had hoped for his downfall. But Alaric didn't care. He had no interest in his father's approval as long as he got what he wanted.Alaric also held his maternal grandfather in high regard. The man had brought him to Ludwiten, taught him to write in Farshyan, and had never cared about the color of Alaric's green eyes. As long as Alaric lived honorably, he would remain his grandson.Alaric didn't care how others viewed him, especially now that his grandfather was dead. Still, there were things Alaric would do. He glanced at Fiona. "The Sloane family isn't
