Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1531 - Bab 1540

Aria turned to leave without hesitation. She couldn't afford to linger. Dorian's words had been recorded. Sharing them with her uncles wouldn't violate any rules—it would clear up past misunderstandings.Just as she pushed the door open, Laura's voice rang out."Aria, I swear, I knew nothing about your mother! You wouldn't want Jett to have a mother with a criminal record, would you? I never meant to harm the Grisham family. Please, help me."Aria halted, but her voice was cold. "Help you? Uncle Eamon ignored your scheming for Jett's sake the first time. When you set your sights on the Grisham Group's shares, he still chose to let it go. And yet, what did you do?"You leaked information. You framed Uncle Eamon for betraying you."She despised women like Laura—greedy and manipulative. Worse, Laura had destroyed the marriage Eamon should have had.Because of her, Eamon had been forced into marriage at an age when he should have been free to live his life.Aria had never understo

Nisa had no idea how complicated things truly were. Durand had made his choice years ago—opting for someone in the state government over the Draycott family. But he had never once confided in his wife, Nisa, about it. Even so, he now found it wise to apologize to the Grisham family. At the very least, it would set them apart from the Draycott and Fitzroy families. They had simply made the wrong decision at a critical moment.Durand sighed. "Alright, honey, I'll take your advice. I'm relying on you to smooth things over with the Fitzroys. Ultimately, I'm placing my trust in you, my darling wife, to fix this."Nisa took a slow sip of her coffee. "I'm glad you understand. This is a crucial moment, so make sure you clean up any messy relationships you have outside."Durand's smile faltered briefly, but he said nothing.Nisa studied him. "I'm only worried something might happen. The deceased girl's parents were easy to deal with, but others won't be. Who knows what might come up?"Th

"Now that the Draycotts are done for, the Fitzroys won't be far behind," Amos said, letting the bitterness linger before offering a glimmer of hope. "The Guetta family will take over the scholarship program."Durand barely managed to contain his excitement. Greed twisted across his face. "Don't worry. I'll manage it properly."Amos remained composed. "It's not your competence I doubt, but let's avoid another situation like that girl's. Her parents may have signed a waiver and dropped the case, but the higher-ups aren't brushing it off."You know how seriously Mr. Kelsall takes the scholarship program. You've worked with Orion on a few deliveries, so you should know."Mr. Kelsall's been in poor health lately. Start lining up some new faces. As for Aria, leave her to me."Durand's eyes lit up with opportunity. "Of course, Mr. Lune. I've been watching the Chamber of Commerce closely and have a few candidates in mind."I can take over Orion's responsibilities—and do better. As long a

The letter only contained one sentence. "Stop investigating and return to Janovin immediately."To an outsider, it might seem like a threat. But Aria knew better. If this person wanted to threaten her, they wouldn't have done it this way. So, was it a warning instead?Amused, Aria studied the letter before turning to the deliveryman. "Is that all? Who gave this to you? A man or a woman? Did they say anything else?"The deliveryman responded without hesitation. "Why? Is something wrong? I just followed instructions—took the letter from the cabinet and sent it to you. As for the sender's gender, I'm not sure. I never spoke to them directly."Aria smiled, slipping a hand into her pocket. "I see. Thanks."The deliveryman then asked to take a photo for confirmation.Aria glanced at him, and in that moment, a name surfaced in her mind—Cassian. She had heard about him when she first arrived in Ludwiten—a man with ties to both worlds.She lowered her gaze with a knowing smile. A fair wa

Lily's heart pounded wildly, her frantic expression betraying the fear she couldn't conceal. If not for her past life's memories, her true identity would have remained buried forever. She knew better than anyone that the real daughter of the Kent family had died long ago. But Olivia, her cunning mother from the countryside, had spun a lie and even tampered with the DNA test. After all, Lily bore a striking resemblance to the child the Kent family had lost—the one they had exchanged years ago.As Lily lived with her past memories, she knew better than anyone else that the Kent family's daughter was dead and buried. Olivia's goal had been simple—use Lily to secure wealth. If the Kent family came looking, she would claim Lily as her own. After all, Olivia could forge hospital records with ease, leaving no trace behind. Even now, modern DNA tests could be manipulated with the right connections. The kidnappers had their own ways of making things work—otherwise, Lily's identity would
