Chapter 141

Hearing the waiter's report, Harvey's brows furrowed into a sharp crease. Were Leonard and Elara that close? As far as Harvey knew, Leonard had never even spoken to Elara before. But he quickly reasoned it out—Leonard valued talent. That had to be the reason he was looking out for Elara. Besides, Leonard was an old-school traditionalist. Even though Harvey and Elara were divorced, Merida was still a Fisher by blood. Leonard was just taking care of the mother of a Fisher heir. That was all. Still, something about it didn't sit right with Harvey. He pulled out his phone and made a call. "Follow my uncle's car. I want to know exactly where he's taking Elara." Just then, a familiar voice called out. "Mr. Fisher." Abel had returned. After seeing Leonard's car pull away, he turned back toward the restaurant with Daphne and Niamh in tow. Spotting Harvey alone in the private dining room, Abel hesitated before asking, "Why did Prof. Fisher leave so soon? And

Oliver had a laptop resting on his lap. The moment he detected the tail, he activated the SkyNet system, running a trace on the vehicle following them. Elara sighed in exasperation.What the hell was wrong with Harvey?Leonard's dark eyes held a flicker of amusement, his expression unreadable. "Your ex seems very… interested in you." He said it so casually as if Harvey wasn't even his nephew but just some random stranger. "He's insane." Elara clenched her fists, forcing herself not to curse Harvey out in front of Leonard. Leonard didn't seem the least bit concerned. "Let him follow us if he wants." The sleek black luxury sedan continued its course, entering where Leonard lived, Oakread estate. The moment the vehicle crossed into the three-mile perimeter surrounding the estate, satellite surveillance locked onto all movement. Within that perimeter, security checkpoints were stationed at regular intervals. Within a half-mile radius of the estate, there were gu

Just as Xavier reached Elara, he hesitated. He bit his lower lip, his flushed face showing a mix of excitement and restraint. Then, with wide, innocent eyes, he grinned at her. "Xav, I haven't seen you in so long! Can I give you a hug?" Merida spread her arms wide toward Xavier.Xavier looked a little nervous, his tiny fingers clutching the edge of his sleeve.He gave Merida a tiny nod.The next second, as they hugged, Xavier's feet suddenly left the ground. Merida had lifted him up with ease, bouncing him a couple of times as if testing his weight."Xav, you're heavier than before! Looks like you've been eating well!"Xavier's face turned beet red. At that moment, a row of uniformed staff members nodded in perfect synchronization. "Good evening, Mr. Leonard, Ms. Jones, and Ms. Merida." "Good evening," Elara responded politely. Still confused about what was happening, Merida instinctively followed suit, nodding back with practiced grace. Elara exchanged qui

Leonard's gaze was deep, unreadable. "You need to shine at the Technology Creation and Sharing Summit." Elara didn't bother pretending to be polite. "So, Mr. Fisher, are you paying for all this?" Isisa chuckled. "Ms. Jones, pick whatever you like. Mr. Fisher instructed us to bring in the entire Aziona collection for you—no budget restrictions." Elara felt a flutter in her chest—so Leonard had actually considered bringing her into Dragonheart. He wanted to prepare her, to make sure she could hold her own at the summit and achieve something meaningful. This was yet another test from Leonard. "Mr. Leonard, thank you for this gift," she said, flashing him a dazzling smile. "I promise I'll pay you back a thousand times over! You won't regret investing in me." Her radiant expression was pure and unwavering. If Leonard was willing to bet on her, she was determined to bring him a massive return on his investment. Elara picked out a few gowns before heading into a private roo

"Don't do anything rash!" Tobias tried to stop him, but it was too late. "Dad, let me make one thing clear," Theodore typed furiously. "I'm a traditional man. If Elara has another man, then I'll just have to be the 'other guy.'" Tobias' hands trembled as he typed back, "Can someone who isn't loved even be a homewrecker?" Theodore went silent. Tobias sighed, switching to full-on fatherly persuasion mode. "Son, you might lack morals and you might even lack decency, but being a third wheel isn't something you can just sign up for!" Theodore sat there, utterly still. For ten years, he had lurked in the shadows, waiting, hoping—yet he hadn't even managed to qualify as a side piece. Did he still stand a chance now? He slumped back onto the couch, staring at his phone, at Elara's radiant smile—smiling at Leonard. "Then I can only wish you both the best… No! No way! I won't accept this! Who says I can't be part of this too?"He clenched his teeth. "So what if Leonar

"Merida." Leonard's calm voice carried through the living room. Merida walked over as he looked at her and asked, "Do you like Mr. Theodore?"He had overheard her conversation with Elara just moments ago. "I do!" Merida answered without hesitation. "Mr. Theodore is really nice! Whenever Mommy goes for lessons at his house, I take naps there, and I always hear angels whispering that Mr. Theodore is the best person ever!" Leonard immediately saw through Theodore's little trick. Theodore was like a cunning little fox, daring to snatch away what belonged to Leonard.He leaned down and said to Merida, "Next time, pretend to be asleep and see if the angel still whispers in your ear. The moment you hear them speak, open your eyes—then you'll finally get to see them."That was a great idea. Merida nodded at Leonard with firm determination.She couldn't wait to find out what the mysterious voice whispering in her ear really looked like.Just then, Elara emerged from her room,

The silver Mercedes pulling up behind Harvey's Maybach signaled that its passengers were also attending the Technology Creation and Sharing Summit's welcome banquet. The first person to step out was Benjamin, the heir of the Jones family.Dressed in an all-white suit, he sported a slicked-back undercut, his dark hair neatly styled on top. His skin was smooth, his expression perpetually unimpressed, as if nothing in the world could bother him. Dark circles framed his half-lidded eyes, giving him a permanently sleep-deprived look. A black stud earring glinted in one ear, and a matching black ring pierced his lower lip. The moment he stepped onto the red carpet, the media instantly recognized him. "That's Benjamin, the fake Jones heir! Even after the real daughter was found, the family still treats him like their own." 18 years ago, Benjamin had been in a serious car accident. When the doctors ran a blood test, the Jones family discovered something shocking—his blood type did

Niamh's eyes went wide the moment Elara pulled out an invitation. The usher scanned it, then gave a respectful bow. "Ms. Jones, please come in." Elara tucked the invitation back into her clutch, not sparing Niamh, Harvey, or the others even a glance. She stepped past them without hesitation, as if they were nothing more than background noise. Niamh turned to the usher, frowning. "Are you sure you read that right? Was that a real invitation? And why doesn't hers look like Harvey's?" The usher patiently explained, "That lady had a VIP Guest Invitation sent directly from the event organizers. Mr. Fisher's invitation is a corporate pass issued to participating companies." Benjamin muttered under his breath, "Sounds like the VIP one is more exclusive." Harvey's expression darkened. "As far as I know, the Summit has never given a special invitation to an ALI Math Competition winner. If she wanted to attend this event, she'd need to collaborate with a university and

"You guys at Starbound build cars! Why the hell are you trying to steal Ms. Jones from me? Move aside, I'm going first!" Several men crowded the doorway, bickering as they tried to shove past each other. None of them were willing to step back. …Inside the banquet hall, a waiter approached Elara, holding a tray of champagne flutes. She casually picked up a glass. "Ms. Jones." A familiar voice rang out. Turning, she saw the mother of one of Merida's classmates walking toward her with a bright, eager smile. Elara recognized her immediately. This was the same woman who had mocked her mercilessly when James tried to expel Merida. The same woman had also written a public apology on Instagram, only to delete it once the scandal blew over. And she was the same woman whose husband had formally issued an apology to Elara through his company's official account. Now, spotting Elara at the event, she and her husband were both stunned. But instead of keeping their

Niamh's voice was loud. She was so loud that every guest in the surrounding area turned to look. "Elara!" she shouted, making a scene. "How could you use a fake invitation to sneak in? You're humiliating the Jones family!" The man beside her, the one she had called Don, stepped forward, holding a tablet in his hands. "This lady's name is not on the guest list," he announced firmly. "I need you to leave. Immediately." A ripple of whispers spread through the onlookers. Elara remained unshaken. She tilted her head slightly, looking Don straight in the eye. "And you are?" "I'm the banquet hall manager, Don Fullerton." He raised his tablet. His tone was absolute, leaving no room for argument. "The guest list I have here does not include your name, Elara. If you refuse to leave on your own, I will have security escort you out." Elara stayed perfectly calm. "First of all, I'm not a regular guest. I'm a VIP guest. If your list only contains corporate attende
