The Heiress's Return: From Zen to Zenith-Chapter 1027

Chapter 1027: 480 prelude_3 Chapter 1027: 480 prelude_3 This scene is certainly a bit unusual.

Peter Aria raised his eyebrows, his penetrating gaze causing Jameson to instinctively back away a step.

Nonchalantly shifting his gaze, Peter Aria narrowed his eyes to look at Scarlett Aria.

His tone was sternly frigid.

“What are you doing here?”

Scarlett Aria spoke softly, “I!I came to find Auntie.”

“Did you inform anyone at home?”

Scarlett Aria pursed her lips and lowered her head.

“Speak up.”

Scarlett Aria suddenly stiffened her neck, “No, I sneaked out.”

Peter Aria opened his phone and dialed Catherine Liam’s number.

...

Catherine Liam was almost about to call the cops.

She relaxed after hearing from Peter Aria that Scarlett was with him.

After chastising Scarlett, she entrusted Peter Aria to take care of her, and reminded him that they must return before the New Year.

After hanging up, Peter Aria looked at Jameson, “And you?

What do you intend to do?”

Jameson was left speechless.

“Mr.

Aria, I didn’t know you were here.

I couldn’t get through to Vanessa’s phone and thought she was in trouble.

I was too worried and acted recklessly.”

“She’s fine, you may leave now.” Peter Aria said coldly.

Jameson gave Vanessa Aria a worried look and then, considering that he had no real standing there with her brother and daughter present, left without a fuss.

Scarlett Aria walked over to have a look at Vanessa Aria, “What’s wrong with Vanessa Aria?”

“She’s asleep.” Peter Aria then opened the ticket website and bought four plane tickets.

“Tomorrow morning, we return to Lostswa.”

Scarlett Aria drooped her head, giving a disheartened “Oh.” She had been looking forward to having fun in Pethkids, but it seemed that her plans were now spoiled.

Then Tabitha Parker came over and greeted him, “Uncle Aria, hello.

I am Charlotte’s classmate, Tabitha Parker.”

Dr.

Aria was really handsome, especially when he wasn’t smiling.

His age couldn’t be discerned from his face, and he could easily pass off as a university student carrying a backpack.

Tabitha Parker was completely oblivious of the way she was glaring directly at him.

Peter Aria nodded coldly, “You three sleep inside.

I’ll sleep on the sofa tonight.

We depart early tomorrow.”

Peter Aria stood up.

“You two, help her into the bed.”

Although Peter Aria hid his emotions well, Scarlett Aria still noticed a fleeting expression of disgust.

Scarlett Aria frowned.

Something wasn’t quite right.

Granted that men and women should avoid intimate contact, but Auntie was his biological sister, so naturally, there would be no such taboo.

His reaction was indeed heart-chilling.

Scarlett Aria and Tabitha Parker lifted Vanessa Aria, one on each side.

Vanessa Aria seemed thin, but her muscle density was not to be underestimated; they struggled to lift her.

To their surprise, Peter Aria didn’t offer any help at all.

Throughout the upheaval, Vanessa Aria did not wake up.

After they put Vanessa Aria into the bed, Tabitha Parker muttered, “Uncle Aria looks really cool.

I don’t dare to make eye contact with him.”

Scarlett Aria frowned, “It’s getting late.

Let’s wash up and get some rest.”

Peter Aria stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and made a phone call.

The person on the other side answered quickly, “Dr.

Aria, have you been watching the live stream?”

Peter Aria paused.

“I haven’t had time to yet, Captain Li.

I’m heading back to Lostswa tomorrow morning.”

“It’s time to go back.

The New Year is near, it’s time to reunite with your family.”

“Captain Li, please help me check something.”

After hanging up, Peter Aria stared out at the quiet night outside, his eyes gradually becoming more solemn.

After some thought, he dialed another number.

The sudden ringing of Aubree Groove’s cell phone broke the silence in the carriage.

Kelly Martinez raised her eyebrows, “This call couldn’t have come at a better time.”

Aubree Groove opened the door of the car to exit and then closed it behind her.

“Hello, Dr.

Aria.”

The man’s deep and magnetic voice came from the other side of the phone, carrying a hint of tenderness.

“I’m heading back to Lostswa tomorrow.”

“You’ve been in Pethkids for a long while, Dr.

Aria.

It’s time to head home since the New Year is approaching.”

The night wind was piercing, whipping her skirts about.

The man’s voice on the phone seemed especially tender, compared to the harsh evening wind.

“When you get the chance to come to Lostswa, I’ll show you around.”

She smiled, “Sounds great.

Wish you a safe journey, Dr.

Aria.”

“May you clear your name.”

He added, “Aubree, see you in Lostswa.”

Hopefully, by the time we see each other again, we will have new identities.

After hanging up, Aubree Groove looked at the brightly lit hotel skyscraper in the night.

Kelly Martinez poked her head out of the window in the car, “What did Peter Aria want?”

The young lady’s beautiful face gleamed softly in the night, creating a soft and hazy glow that made her appear somewhat unreal.

“Kelly, let’s head back.”

Kelly snorted, “So boring.

What’s Peter Aria up to?”

Why would he keep a counterfeit overnight?
