Elara got up and said, "Yes, I am."The teacher introduced herself, "I'm the head teacher of class 2A, Ms. Notch."Before Katie Notch could finish speaking, Rosalie exclaimed, "Elara! Did your daughter beat up the kids in class 2A as well?"Hearing that, the parents of the kids from class 2A hurriedly pulled their children behind them. Katie hurriedly waved her hands and said, "That's not it! Today, Merida defeated the masked villain during our safety drill and protected everyone in the class. So, we've given her a huge flower as a special award.""Look, Mommy!" Merida showed off the flower she received to Elara.Meanwhile, Rosalie was stunned when she heard what Katie said. Then, Elara said, "I don't think I heard anyone talking about a safety drill today.""That's right!" said Rosalie. She thought it was ridiculous for Merida to suddenly receive such a huge flower.Then, Katie explained, "It's an activity for the younger students, and Merida was selfless and brave today! So, w

At that moment, Harold was flattering Elara like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Elara just looked at him silently, wondering what he was trying to do.Seeing how she wasn't reacting at all, he lamented solemnly, "Considering our country's environment, it's hard to have true talent! No one understands it better than a person like me. I had to do my best just to achieve greatness after leaving my old town."Elara, I'm only saying this because I can see your potential. If you want to get into research and development, you should go overseas. After all, our country is falling too far behind other countries. You can only achieve true freedom by going overseas!"Hearing that, Elara just said, "I only want to provide for my family now."Hearing how she didn't have any ambitions, Harold smiled, thinking how she was just book-smart. He figured she would never make it big in the real working world as she was just a housewife at the end of the day.So, he suggested, "If you want to find a job,

"Daddy!" Beau ran toward Harvey excitedly with his backpack on his back. Since it was rare for Harvey to come to pick him up, Beau was really happy.The mothers who saw Harvey were so stunned that they couldn't even walk anymore.Cyrus approached Elara and said respectfully, "Please get in, Ms. Jones."She rejected the offer and said, "There's no need for that. Medina and I can just take a taxi to the restaurant." She didn't want to be in a confined space with Harvey.Cyrus tried to put in a few good words for Harvey. "Mr. Fisher is here just to pick you and Ms. Merida up today."Elara ignored him and just took out her phone, planning to book herself a ride. So, Cyrus returned to the Mayback and reported back to Harvey.A short while later, Elara's phone started ringing, and she thought it was the driver of the ride she had booked. So, she answered it and heard Harvey's cold voice."I've told all the rides to avoid this area. If you want to walk to the restaurant with Merida, I'

Chapter 134

Niamh was overfilled with joy. When she let go of Beau, she noticed there was a watermark on her shirt. So, she asked, "Huh? Did you drink some water earlier?"Beau shook his head and said, "No. I was throwing up just now."Niamh was speechless when she heard that, and her face fell drastically. She hurriedly grabbed some napkins to wipe her shirt, but it just made the stains even worse. Gritting her teeth as hard as possible, Niamh subtly pushed Beau and said, "Take a seat, Beau."She was instinctively holding her breath because she could smell the pungent stench coming from her shirt!Meanwhile, Abel was sitting next to Niamh. Seeing how much Beau loved his younger daughter, he nodded in satisfaction. He wasn't that worried about Elara's divorce from Harvey. As long as one of his daughters could capture Beau and Harvey's hearts, then the Jones family could still rely on the Fishers.When Merida saw her grandparents and Niamh, she stood there with a serious look.Then, Elara ask

Thinking that Leonard would be joining them, Elara just sat in front of Niamh and her parents with Merida.Abel put on a napkin on Daphne's chest, and she said coyly, "Let's dig in now! I'm hungry!"He looked at Harvey before coaxing her, "Prof. Fisher isn't here yet…""Oh…" Daphne felt aggrieved, and she clenched her fists to wipe the nonexistent tears on her face.Elara took a deep breath when she saw Daphne acting like that. After all, anyone would want to punch the latter in the face after seeing how she acted.Suddenly, the waiter came into the room and said, "There was a Mr. Fisher calling earlier, and he said he would be late due to some emergencies. So, he suggested for everyone to eat first and not wait for him."Hearing that, Harvey said to the waiter, "In that case, bring in the dishes."Merida noticed there was a kid's plate in front of Beau, and she didn't have one. However, there was another one in front of Daphne. That was when she realized her grandmother had sna

Harvey's brows furrowed. He had asked Cyrus to handle the dress. According to the assistant, it was custom-made based on Elara's measurements. As for when those measurements were taken, Harvey never bothered to ask. To him, Elara was just a placeholder—a wife in name only.They hadn't shared a bed in a long time. He had zero interest in her body. So, Harvey didn't care if she was skinny or fat. It didn't matter to him in the slightest."If the dress doesn't fit, have it altered until it does," Harvey said flatly. He already felt like he was indulging her enough. Elara picked up the document that had been placed on top of the dress box. "So, Fisher Corp wants me in the tech department?" Harvey replied, "I want to place you in the Chief Secretary’s Office as my personal secretary."Elara blinked, then let out a short laugh. "So, after seven years of being your unpaid nanny, you're finally willing to pay me? And for what? To keep me by your side?" Harvey's expression

Harvey leaned back in his chair. Elara sat across from him yet the weight of his presence made it clear—he looked down on her. Before Harvey could say another word, Abel shot up from his chair. "Do you even hear yourself? Are you talking about not bowing to a man? A woman like you, acting so defiant—you must be out of your damn mind!" Abel kicked his chair aside, storming around the table toward Elara. Niamh bit down on her lower lip, trying to stop herself from laughing. Merida, who had been quietly eating, set down her spoon, her sharp eyes tracking Abel's every move. Just as Abel reached for Elara's collar, a voice rang out—deep, authoritative, cutting through the tension like a knife. "What the hell is going on here?" All heads snapped toward the entrance. "Grandpa!" Merida was already on her chair, gripping Abel's outstretched hand before he could touch Elara. The atmosphere in the private dining room grew razor-sharp, a fight ready to break out at

Chapter 138

The sheer weight of Leonard's presence crushed Abel, making it nearly impossible to breathe. In front of Leonard, he was too scared to say a single word."But…" Abel started, his voice weak. How the hell did it feel like Leonard was more of a father to Elara than he was? "You only need to answer me with one thing—do you understand?" Leonard's voice was calm, almost indifferent, yet it carried the force of a command. Abel's survival instincts kicked in. His throat bobbed as he struggled to force out the words. "Y-yes… I understand." Leonard's gaze lingered on him for a second longer before he turned away. Oliver pushed his wheelchair forward until he reached the head of the table. His eyes swept over the table, landing on a gift box carelessly tossed aside. A manila envelope with Fisher Corp's logo had slipped out onto the table. "What's this?" Leonard demanded.Harvey answered, "An employment offer for Elara." Leonard tilted his chin slightly, and Oliver immediat

Chapter 139

Harvey's grip tightened around the contract document, his fingers pressing hard enough to leave deep creases in the paper. Leonard's voice remained calm, his tone level—but it carried a weight that crushed any resistance Harvey might have had. "Your father didn't raise you right." The words hit like a hurricane, tearing down every bit of Harvey's pride and self-assurance. He was the head of Fisher Corp. He had been in charge for years. Everyone followed his lead without question. He saw himself as a ruler above all, his word absolute. But he never imagined that a higher power would one day bring him to his knees.But now, standing before the true power above him, he realized just how easily a god could pass judgment. His breathing grew shallow, the weight of it all pressing down on his chest. "Mr. Leonard, we're not just 'random people.' Don't you remember me? I met you at the Fisher residence when Dawn and I were kids…" Niamh tried to find common ground, reaching

Chapter 140

Harvey's jaw tightened, the muscles along his neck tensing as his Adam's apple bobbed slightly. Leonard's voice remained steady and calm—almost like a teacher correcting a stubborn student. "If you understand, then answer me with a simple 'okay.'" A sharp, tingling numbness crept over Harvey's scalp. For the first time in his life, he lowered his head. "…Okay." His broad shoulders, usually squared with authority, now sagged under an invisible weight. Defeat clung to him like a shadow. Leonard, satisfied with the response, turned and left. …Elara walked beside Leonard as they exited the restaurant. "Prof. Fisher, thanks for having my back in there," she said. Still in awe, Merida said, "Prof. Fisher, you were amazing!" Her head was still reeling from what she had just witnessed. For the first time ever, she had seen Harvey completely shut down. Her wide eyes shone with admiration as she looked up at Leonard. To her, he was someone from an entirely
