The Heiress' Return: Six Brothers at Her Beck and Call의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1941 - 챕터 1950

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room. Aria's voice was steady. "You can turn around now." Landon, who was standing in front, slowly turned to face her. Aria's breath caught. Just days ago, he'd been all casual comfort. Now in the tailored suit, his exceptional proportions stood out, and his perfect torso was highlighted to perfection. He stood tall in the gray suit, and the tapered waist emphasized his lean build. The way the pants fell made his legs look even better. Aria stared at him. "It really does suit you." Landon looked down, adjusting his cuffs. "So this is what you had made for me? That's why you took my measurements." Aria moved closer. "How does it feel? Pretty impressive, right?"Landon's voice was calm. "It's better than anything I've worn before. I guess this is my new standard." As he spoke, sunlight caught his wrist, making his skin gleam like a diamond. Aria swallowed hard. "I really feel like biting you." Hearing this, Landon took a few st

Landon said, "Let me give you an example. Why do these two stocks keep rising? Because someone's pulling the strings behind the scenes. Once they hit a certain point, they'll crash at lightning speed. "You buy in at two dollars. Later, it drops to one dollar, or even just cents. Would you sell then?" The ladies looked at each other. "No way. We'd definitely wait for the price to recover. If we invested 200,000 dollars and lost 100,000 dollars, we definitely wouldn't sell." Landon nodded. "Exactly. That's how most people think, and those players are counting on that psychology. Buy now and you might make a little profit, but these two stocks will crash within three days. And they'll fall fast. "Once you're in the game, you become a player. Even if you want out by then, you won't be able to escape. "On the flip side, MIRXES and Sunhall will skyrocket in three days. Whatever you invest will multiply several times over. It's like a controlled nuclear fusion." The ladies scratch

Huck felt his heart sink. He wasn't an idiot, and he knew how things worked. That was exactly why his eyes widened as he stared at Aria. "W-Who the hell are you?" "Mr. Maddox, you know me pretty well, don't you? I'm just someone from that village in Grindham." Aria held up some papers. "Unless your background check went wrong?" Her tone stayed cool and controlled, like she had all the pieces on the board. Huck's hands balled into fists, his teeth chattering. "Why are you the one questioning me? This is illegal!" "It's simple. I have the authority to do so." Aria drummed her fingers on the table in a steady beat. "I know plenty about your dealings. That's why I made myself the bait. But you, Mr. Maddox? You barely scratched the surface when you had me investigated. "I'm sure your handlers made you all kinds of promises. They told you they'd protect you no matter how badly you screwed up. "But you should understand what an abandoned pawn is. Back at Thornwick, that inspector co

Aria made a lazy gesture. "Right, but the only time we can catch Chauncey is at the banquet. He'll probably pull the strings from the shadows and have someone else host while he watches from hiding." Landon's tone was casual. "Once we flush out Chauncey, all those officials he bought will surface too." "Yeah." Aria blinked. "Power brings glory and benefits, but it can also be leverage and evidence. When those people Chauncey bought hear he's in trouble, they'll either distance themselves or try to save him. But we'll have to wait for the banquet." Landon smiled and picked up where she left off. "Looks like we can take it easy for a couple of days." "Take it easy?" Aria's eyes held amusement. "Regular employees get to rest. We don't have that luxury." Sam nodded hard beside them. "Boss is right..." Landon pulled out a bank card and slapped it onto Sam's forehead. "Adults are talking, so kids like you should stay quiet." Sam froze, standing still like something had locked h

Aria heard the commotion behind them but didn't care. She seemed calm as ever, as if she hadn't just walked into a wolf's den. She spotted two familiar faces standing in the distance. "Well, well. If it isn't Mr. Marlowe and Mr. Creed." Frederick spun around at her voice. "You! How dare you come to our sect?" Tristan pointed at her furiously. "This is all your fault! We're crippled because of you!" "My fault?" Aria blinked. "That's what you get for being useless. You dug your own grave. You've got no skill but plenty of attitude." Frederick waved dramatically. "Everyone, come here! Our enemy has come to our sect to mock us!" At his words, his disciples swarmed in from all directions. Aria pulled Landon over to find a rock to sit on. Sam couldn't contain his excitement. "Boss, go beat them up!" But when he looked around and then behind him, they were already sitting on the rock. Aria waved her hand. "All yours, Sam." "Hmm, got it!" Sam's eyes went wide. "Boss wants me to
