Orion's face darkened. How humiliating to fall into such a trap, especially in front of Alaric of the Sloane family! He knew Alaric must have seen through everything. Why else would he have raised an eyebrow at the bid as he sipped his tea? Orion clenched his fists. This marked his first major blunder in front of potential investors. Between Aria's maneuvers and Clyde's schemes, they had made him look like a complete fool. Just as Orion drew a deep breath to compose himself, someone shouted from across the room, "A phone. The fourth item is actually a phone!" A phone? Orion's eyes darted toward the stage. Until now, all items had remained sealed in boxes, so their contents were a mystery. Upon seeing the revealed item, his face was filled with dismay. While the Chamber of Commerce maintained certain annual traditions, the finer details often changed. This year, Orion had entrusted everything to the Royal Hotel. His logic seemed simple enough; they would win regardless. Th

Lily remained unaware of that detail until the Royal Hotel staff came to collect the silver dollars."Four silver dollars? I thought each round only cost two." Her voice turned sharp with disbelief. With eight coins in total, losing four would leave her with just four. Meanwhile, Aria still had five after winning the phone. Aria now had more coins than her! This revelation left Lily reeling. Not only her but half the powerful families behind her rose to their feet. This was exactly what Orion had feared. No one dared to make trouble at the Royal Hotel unless they wanted misfortune. Before he could intervene, Lily snapped at the server. "Are you joking? The rules keep changing. Did you even notify anyone about this?""Mind your tone, Ms. Kent." The server spoke flatly, "We designed this following Mr. Draycott's request for fairness in Chamber membership. Our auction isn't simply about winning items. As businessmen, you should be wary of market traps."Never having studied bus

Those standing with Aria exchanged glances. Some barely contained their joy, while others wore bewildered expressions. Clyde burst into hearty laughter, looking at his precious granddaughter with pride. "Brilliant! As expected of my granddaughter. You remind me of myself in my younger days. "I was too traditional, and you don't need your uncle's guidance. That amateur couldn't teach you much anyway." Waymond's expression turned complex. Clyde showed such double standards. Before Aria arrived, he'd praised Waymond as a promising merchant. Now, with Aria here, Waymond had been demoted to an amateur. Still, Aria had played the game well. Setting aside the items' nature, she had managed to trap the opposition through numbers alone. He could not help but grin; his niece was indeed brilliant. Aria remained gracious, addressing her grandfather earnestly. "Grandpa, I still need to learn from Uncle Waymond. When it comes to practical matters, his oversight gives me confidence." Waym

Before Aria arrived, Orion and the others had tried everything to keep the Carvers out of the Chamber. They even tried to stir trouble between the Grishams and Carvers. Now, their defenses had crumbled. The prominent families who had acted dishonestly felt especially uneasy. Barron had founded the Chamber, and over the years, they had used its reputation to secure numerous private gains. They refused to surrender such a profitable organization that concealed their schemes, let alone return it. As soon as Aria became a Chamber member, certain investors began to move. The Draycott faction harbored various schemes. They had to bring her down before she could restore the Carver family to public prominence; their survival depended on it. In today's digital age, even the biggest merchants feared reputation damage the most. If the public discovered the truth about how they had pushed out the Chamber's rightful founders while profiting from its patriotic reputation, the backlash would de

"What do you mean?" someone asked for clarification as they did not understand what Aria meant. Aria glanced over, turning the black ring on her finger. "You'll understand when the time comes. Mr. Katz, I'll discuss the details with you once I've made preparations." "Does that mean you'll help us?" Isaiah's eyes welled with tears, and Aria smiled a little. "Not just help. Your business philosophy aligns with the Carvers'. So, we'll succeed together." What could bring more joy than finding a like-minded business partner? Though moved, Isaiah knew he was getting the better deal. "We can't be hasty. You must take 40 percent of my company shares." He turned to those two behind him. "Don't you agree?" "Yes! Of course!" The Draycotts had their eyes on their land. For over a year, they had used various tactics to force their orchards into bankruptcy. They understood perfectly what Aria's intervention meant. She was saving their lives. How could they not be grateful? Others w
