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.

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

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

The man pinning Priscilla down seemed even more excited by this.Darren Cordova then passionately kissed Priscilla's face, seemingly unwilling to let her go. Priscilla clicked her tongue in annoyance and pushed him away. Seeing her displeasure, he quickly restrained himself.Meanwhile, employees throughout the company sat at their computers, witnessing the entire scene. They were getting front-row seats to some juicy gossip!This wasn't just some inappropriate video of Priscilla being circulated—they didn't need to verify whether what they were seeing was real or fake. It's because they were watching it live!Darren considerately helped Priscilla button up her clothes and smoothed out her clothing. Only after she was properly dressed did Darren turn to open the door.The soundproof doors of the CEO's office slid open. When Kira saw Darren, her expression grew even more troubled.

Theodore was truly a frightening man! Yet Elara didn't find this off-putting.Wasn't this exactly the sort of thing he would do? She had sensed this man's calculated advances from the moment he began appearing frequently in her life.Soon, Cassie left, and Elara sat in her office chair, moving back slightly."You can come out now," she commanded.Her voice had regained its composure. "You should have recovered by now, right, Mr. Snapp?"Theodore emerged from under the desk, which had been relatively cramped for someone of his size. He blinked at her, his eyes brimming with amusement as he asked, "Was that fun?""I almost fell for you," Elara blurted out, her voice carrying a more teasing tone.The man looked slightly disappointed. "So, you didn't fall for me after all?"Persistent, he leaned forward and lowered his voice to ask, "Did it feel good when you touched me earlier?"Elara's bright eyes sparkled with light as she had to admit, "I didn't expect you'd feel so nice to to

If one word could describe Theodore, it would be "insatiable!"The spasms emanating from Elara's abdomen made her aware of the unusual sensations in her body. In the warm early summer afternoon, even the air in the office seemed to grow heavy and humid.She felt as if an electric current had struck her, sending a tingling sensation up from the base of her spine. Her lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but feel an intense curiosity about Theodore."Why would someone like you be interested in someone like me?" Elara's voice fell from above him."Hmm? Someone like me? What kind of person am I?"Theodore looked up at her with an expression that seemed completely vulnerable, as if offering himself to be commanded by her.Seated in her office chair, Elara lowered her gaze. As she looked down at this man, a strange and subtle thrill arose in her chest.She finally understood what it meant to gaze down from a position of power. It felt as though butterflies were dancing wildly i

Harvey was annoyed by Ethel's interference in his love life. Elara's decision to divorce him undoubtedly had something to do with Ethel's meddling."I recall that Uncle Leonard has been looking after the Shelton family. Didn't the Sheltons' daughter go abroad to study with Uncle Leonard's letter of recommendation?" Harvey asked."That's ancient history," Ethel replied. "I hear she has done quite well for herself in Melcina. She's returned and taken a position at Quantum Tech under Price Nation."Harvey was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a certain phrase from Ethel."What position does Ms. Shelton hold at Quantum Tech?"Ethel was delighted—Harvey was showing interest in Angie.She described enthusiastically, "I heard she's highly regarded by Priscilla. Since she's joined Quantum Tech, she must be in a top position.""Isn't Elara the one in charge?" Harvey thought. He quickly realized this meant Elara's position at Quantum Tech wasn't secure.Harvey re

Perhaps it was because he had spent recent days shoveling manure for fertilizer, cleaning pigpens, and herding cattle and sheep, but Harvey's germaphobia seemed to have been cured.He crouched down and began searching through the pile of garbage.Seeing Beau standing idly nearby, he sternly commanded, "What are you standing around for? Help me look! If we don't find the stethoscope, you won't be eating dinner!"Beau finally understood the gravity of the situation. With fear and trepidation in his heart, he looked at the garbage scattered on the ground with a miserable expression."Daddy, can I at least have a pair of gloves?""Look!" Harvey roared. "If we don't find it, I'll throw you in the trash can!"For the first time, he had completely lost patience with his son. Flames seemed to shoot from his eyes, and the features of his face were tense and sharp.Beau trembled, held his breath, and crouched down. With a disgusted expression, he began searching through the garbage while

Harvey froze in shock. He pulled back the covers, finding nothing on the bed. He spun around and darted out of his room, leaving a sharp, cold breeze in his wake.Outside his room stood a bodyguard assigned by Leonard. Harvey then grabbed the bodyguard by the collar."Where's my stethoscope? Who told you to touch my stethoscope?" he demanded.The bodyguard was bewildered. He gripped Harvey's hand in displeasure. "Mr. Fisher, please calm down. I don't know what you're talking about."Hostility flashed in Harvey's eyes as he breathed heavily and questioned, "My stethoscope that I put under my pillow—who took it?"The bodyguard thought for a moment. "I did see Mr. Beau playing with a stethoscope this morning. I'm not sure where he got it from."Harvey's pupils constricted sharply. Beau had entered his room and taken his stethoscope?That little brat!Beau, dressed in a gray monk's robe, was surrounded by visitors who had come to the chapel to pray. These past few days, he had been

This time, Harvey very clearly saw Elara's face deepen from a light pink to a rich, blooming rose—visibly, and in real time.Her beauty blossomed like a peony in full bloom. Her long lashes trembled several times, and her dark eyes shimmered as if brimming with tears.She looked as if… She was lovestruck. The moment that phrase crossed Harvey's mind, he was so stunned that his eyes widened in disbelief.Was Elara suddenly getting shy because of him?A strange flutter rippled through his chest. He sat at his desk, staring at the high-definition monitor in front of him, where every detail of Elara's face—even each individual eyelash—was crystal clear.He shifted his gaze to the upper-left corner of the screen to glance at the small preview of himself.After Leonard had driven him up to the mountains, the priest at Atkina Church had given him a haircut. Since he was neither a monk nor formally ordained, it was just a close-cropped cut, not a full shaving of the head.He looked at h

Theodore's eyes gleamed like sunlight shimmering over a lake. He looked like a large dog trapped in a cage, gazing at Elara with unwavering intensity. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging wildly like a windmill spinning at full speed.Elara screamed internally. This had gone a little too far! Her eyes then dropped to the tip of her own shoe. The place she had kicked… had grown!"Oh!" She quickly jerked her foot back, only to feel her body tip backward uncontrollably.Just as she was about to fall, Theodore reached out and grabbed her ankle.The moment his fingers touched her skin, her heart skipped a beat. Theodore pulled her back toward the desk.Elara froze in place like a statue. Her entire body was tense, her eyes were wide, and her pupils were unfocused."Elara, what's wrong?"Harvey had seen her suddenly lose her balance and fall backward. It startled him so badly, he looked as if he wanted to jump through the screen.A wave of helplessness washed over him. Luckil

Elara looked under the desk. What on earth was going on?Meanwhile, Harvey observed Elara in her formal women's suit on the computer screen—an attire he'd never seen her wear before.Her hair was pulled back into a bun secured by a simple ebony hairpin. A few strands, gilded by sunlight, curled against her porcelain cheeks.Though she appeared to be looking down at something, Harvey's gaze and thoughts remained completely captivated by her face. Only months had passed since their divorce, yet seeing her now felt like encountering someone from another lifetime.Had time stretched endlessly during his days at Atkina Church?"El—" Harvey's throat tightened as if stuffed with paper.But he quickly regained his usual composed tone. "Elara—no, I should address you as Ms. Jones now. Had Sam not called me, I wouldn't have known you'd assumed Quantum Tech's CEO position."His voice carried that innate condescension of the privileged, laced with unmistakable mockery."Why are you hiding
