Semua Bab The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call: Bab 1751 - Bab 1760

The cameraman Aria had called out now revealed his face. A prominent scar marked his brow. Virgil had assaulted too many starlets to remember them all, but he couldn't forget about Caelia Cross. Not because of her beauty, but because her brother, Sean Cross, had actually risked his life seeking revenge. After his formal complaints went nowhere, Sean had tried to stab Virgil in secret. Virgil had many bodyguards, so they had stopped his attack, and that scar on Sean's face had been left by Virgil's men. Since then, Virgil had grown cautious about crossing people with military backgrounds. Regular soldiers were one thing. But even Virgil's bodyguards had warned that Sean had likely served in special forces and completed classified missions. They had told him to not go too harsh on Sean. Official investigations into certain kinds of personnel could attract unwanted attention. That was why Virgil hadn't tried to kill Sean, but he'd pulled strings to have Sean demoted to a regular u

The Jastrows could never rise again. No amount of money could suppress the spreading news. Everyone in the banquet hall stared at their phones, then back at Virgil and Leif with eyes full of disgust and condemnation. Kieran had not even grasped what was happening yet when some reporters with strong moral convictions shouted, "They must pay with their lives! Not just the Jastrows, but the arcane seeker who helped them. He should pay with his life too!" Kieran's brow furrowed as he prepared to speak. Behind him, his disciple tugged at his clothes. "Mr. Simeon, the situation online has gotten really serious." "That doesn't mean we should help a vengeful spirit take a living person's life!" Kieran scolded. "Leif was wrong, and our sect will deal with his mistakes. But helping an evil being instead of banishing it violates the Divine Laws!" Aria scoffed. "Who's the evil one here? I've heard enough of your self-righteous preaching, Mr. Simeon." She glanced sideways. "Caelia, go do

Before Landon could answer, Dewey called out from across the set. "Leon! We need to reshoot one scene!" Leon craned his neck and shouted back, "Coming!" Landon did not say anything more. As a major business figure, if he showed his face over there, the entire production would come to a standstill. However, only Clary knew about his visit, and everyone else just assumed he was one of Leon's friends. Unlike Clary's respectful attitude, the crew weren't really bothered to go over and greet Landon. "Mr. York, why don't you wait at the hotel? I'll tell Leon to drop by when he's done filming." Clary stood nearby, speaking quietly. "The environment here isn't great, and I'm worried you'll find it uncomfortable." "It's fine." Landon glanced toward the filming in progress, eyebrows slightly raised. "I'll wait for him to finish." Clary hesitated. "Yes, sir." Landon's presence was too intense for normal people to handle. As Clary turned to leave, Landon spoke again. "Did she not cal

The voice belonged to none other than Aria. She was looking at Fabien with a grin. While Fabien furrowed his brows, the elderly members of the Chamber of Commerce broke into an uproar. "What did you say? Say it again?" one of them shouted, barely able to contain his anger as he glared at Aria like she had committed a crime. After all, the Goldenflow Carp was the very symbol of the Chamber of Commerce's heritage. It represented their long-standing legacy and boundless prosperity.And yet, Aria dared to claim that the Goldenflow Carp was a fake. None of them could accept that.Aria spoke slowly. "I meant what I said. What Mr. Langford is holding is a counterfeit. You know it too, or you wouldn't be reacting like this."The man questioning Aria was none other than Isaac Navaro—the same elderly figure Cassian had approached earlier. Back then, Isaac told Cassian he refused to wait any longer.He had once been grateful for everything Barron had done when he was alive. But that was i

Everything would work out as long as he had photos of Leon. The more popular Leon became, the more attention he attracted. Posting those photos online to slander him would bring both profit and notoriety.The man didn't care whether this was a trap set by Monica, nor did he concern himself with her relationship to Leon. In the entertainment industry, relationships between men and women were rarely simple. What mattered was that Leon could draw attention.Muttering to himself, he said, "I didn't get anything substantial yet. I need to head inside for more shots. Then I'll post a teaser on my blog—something like, 'Top star spotted dating trending actress.' That'll do the trick."That man brimmed with confidence. Just as he reached for the door handle, someone knocked on his window. He froze. Paparazzi like him thrived in the shadows. If anyone from the crew spotted him, he'd be kicked out immediately.He considered pretending the car was empty, but the figure outside remained persi
