Chapter 171

The securities commission decided to trust that the stock market analysis program Elara had submitted was indeed her own work. After verifying that the funds she had invested came from her divorce settlement, they lifted the freeze on her assets and transferred the money back into her account.Seeing her bank balance skyrocket back into the millions, Elara's lips curled into a satisfied smile. Just then, a call came in from August of BrightPeak Securities.Elara frowned slightly but chose to answer. The moment she picked up, August's voice filled her ear."Ms. Jones, I heard your funds have been unfrozen! Congratulations! I was wondering if you'd be interested in having me as your investment advisor again? I can offer you the lowest commission rates!"Elara's voice was calm as she asked, "Mr. Hanson, weren't you fired from BrightPeak?"There was a pause before August let out an awkward laugh. "Ms. Jones, your information is quite up to date."His dismissal from BrightPeak had bee

"Mistvale Ranch Adventure Challenge–First Round: Protect the Carrots!"Parents and children will ride a three-person tandem bicycle to a campsite two miles away. Along the way, a herd of mischievous alpacas will attempt to steal food."Families must carry a bucket of carrots and cabbage and protect them from being eaten. At the finish line, each remaining carrot earns three points, and each remaining cabbage leaf earns one point."The total points can be redeemed for ingredients needed for the group's lunch cooking session."Merida, recognizing most of the words on the task card, read them out loud before looking up. "Uncle Finn, did you understand? If not, I can explain it to you again!"Did Merida think he had a learning disability?Finnegan gave a slow nod before replying in a low voice, "I understood."Nearby, the teachers observing the three of them together found the sight particularly pleasing."If that man weren't Ms. Jones' brother, I'd totally be shipping them! Tall,

The teachers and staff approached them."Are you Beau's father? What a rare sight! This is your first time attending one of Beau's parent-child events, isn't it?"Harvey's expression remained as cold and distant as ever. He simply gave the teacher a silent nod. Sensing the sheer unapproachability radiating from him, the teacher shivered slightly.Niamh, on the other hand, grinned smugly. She announced while pointing at Harvey's face, "He didn't even want to come. I had to storm into the Fisher residence first thing this morning and drag him out of bed."Of course, she exaggerated. She had indeed gone to the Fisher residence early in the morning, intending to barge straight into Harvey's room—only to find that he had locked the door.She had banged on it like a madwoman and waited forever before Harvey finally emerged, already washed up and dressed.Meanwhile, Beau puffed out his small chest proudly. To him, only Niamh had the ability to force his father to join a parent-child eve

Harvey's brows furrowed. "The butler never mentioned any of this to me."Bridget sighed in frustration. In the past, she would call Elara whenever Beau or Merida had any issues at school, and the problem would be resolved immediately.But now, Beau had become a problem student. Despite multiple calls to the Fishers' butler, she had only received vague, dismissive responses.Niamh scoffed. "Seriously? You're making a big deal out of nothing!"Bridget felt her patience snap. "The moment I heard you call yourself Beau's father today, I finally understood where his bad habits are coming from!""What did you just say? You'd better watch your mouth before I slap you across the face!"Niamh's expression instantly turned vicious, as if she were about to roll up her sleeves and throw hands at the teacher.Bridget instinctively flinched at Niamh's sudden aggression. Meanwhile, Beau jumped up excitedly while clapping his hands."Yeah! Slap her across the face!"At this age, Beau was eage

"Mommy, sit in the middle! I'll take the back! I won't let those alpaca thieves get near you!" said Merida.The three of them climbed onto the tandem bike, each taking their designated seat.Meanwhile, on the other side, Niamh was also assigning roles. "Harvey, you take the front and just pedal as fast as you can. Beau, you protect the carrots, and I'll handle the alpacas."She had already thought this through. Once they encountered the herd, the alpacas would go straight for the carrots. In the struggle, whoever was holding the bucket would likely get spat on or have their clothes nipped at.There was no way she was letting that happen to herself and definitely not to Harvey. So naturally, Beau had to take the hit. If he managed to save even a few carrots, he'd probably be grateful to her for fending off the alpacas.Harvey, however, wasn't convinced. Making his son carry a full bucket of vegetables didn't seem like the smartest plan. He could already predict that Beau wouldn't b

Harvey pedaled with full force, but it didn't take long for him to realize that he and Niamh were completely out of sync. Their tandem bike zigzagged uncontrollably across the path."Niamh! Stop pedaling! Just lift your feet off the pedals!" he shouted.Instead of helping, Niamh's frantic pedaling was making things worse. At this rate, it would be better if he handled it alone."Ahh! Shit! My clothes!"At this point, Niamh wasn't even listening to Harvey. An alpaca yanked at her sleeve while another tugged at her hair. She barely shoved one of them away before another lunged in to take its place."Waah! Dad! Hurry up!" Beau wailed from behind.Harvey tried to speed up, but with Niamh throwing them off balance, they kept swerving uncontrollably. All he could do was watch helplessly as Elara and Merida disappeared from his sight.Meanwhile, several parents and children had already completed the first challenge and were resting at the campsite, waiting for the others. Finnegan's br

Josie held up five fingers and said to Merida, "Each alpaca is worth five points!"Rosalie's face twisted in frustration, as if she had just swallowed a fly. She muttered under her breath, "Why didn't anyone tell me that catching the alpacas could earn us extra points? If I had known…"Her voice trailed off. Even if she had known, their family had been too busy running away from the alpacas to even consider trying to catch one.All Rosalie could do was watch helplessly as the teacher moved Paisley's nameplate down to second place. Josie then updated the scores beside Merida's name. Merida currently had 40 points, while Paisley had 30 points.At the same time, another teacher announced Beau's score. "Beau, zero points."Moments ago, when Beau stepped out of the Maybach, he had looked so impressive and proud. Now, he looked completely miserable.His Louis Vuitton cap was long gone, likely stolen by an alpaca. His collar was stretched and crooked, and he was holding his breath, tryi

Chapter 178

Niamh led Beau to a quiet spot and sat down. Luckily, she had brought a change of clothes. She took off her alpaca-spit-stained jacket with a look of pure disgust, tossing it aside like trash.As she focused on changing into fresh clothes, Beau reminded her, "My clothes are dirty too."Niamh didn't even budge. She simply tilted her chin toward her bag and said, "There are clean clothes in the bag."Beau puffed up his cheeks, muttering in frustration. "Do I have to change by myself?"Back home, he never had to dress himself as the housekeepers handled everything. Even outside, he expected someone close to him—like Niamh—to help him.However, Niamh was too busy. She furiously wiped her hair with a wet tissue, feeling incredibly irritated. All she wanted was a proper shower to wash the filth off her, so she had no time to deal with Beau.Beau glanced around and saw all the other kids had their parents fussing over them. There were mothers wiping away sweat, handing out water bottles

Beau swallowed his frustration. He was the precious golden grandson of Fisher Corp, someone cherished by Ethel!He lifted his gaze toward Elara's direction, watching closely. Sure enough, she glanced over at them.Beau's excitement spiked—so his plan was working! Feeling more determined, he ripped open the jerky package for Niamh.However, Niamh didn't want to dirty her hands, so she casually said, "Feed me."Beau's face twitched slightly as his patience was wearing thin. Worse, Elara had already looked away.Still, he reluctantly pulled a piece of jerky from the package and held it up to Niamh's mouth while his eyes were still fixed on Elara."Turn around and look at me!" he shouted in his head.If he treated Niamh this well, Elara had to feel jealous. It was her choice not to be his mother anymore! Elara would never get to enjoy being personally waited on by him!Rosalie clicked her tongue in amusement. "Beau, you're actually feeding Niamh? How sweet of you!"Her tone was ex

Determined to redeem himself, Beau eagerly jumped into the sack. Niamh followed, standing behind him."Harvey, hurry up and get in!" she called impatiently.The moment Harvey stepped inside, Niamh pressed herself against him, but he immediately frowned. She had miscalculated his reaction indeed.Turning to him, she explained, "Harvey, we need to stick closer! That way, we can coordinate our jumps better."As she spoke, she reached for his hand. "Put your arms forward and hold onto the sack."If he did as she said, his arm would naturally rest around her waist, as if he were holding her. The thought sent a shiver of excitement through her.This parent-child event was the perfect excuse to get physically close to Harvey in public, proving to Elara and the other wealthy families just how intimate their relationship was. This was the only reason why she even agreed to join this event.But when she reached for his hand, she grasped nothing but air. A second later, Harvey shoved her b
