Chapter 18

ผู้เขียน: Full of Luck
Ethel laughed at Bambi's naivety. "You might not even be able to afford tuition anymore if you follow your mother!"

She believed her granddaughter had no idea what awaited her in the future, and Ethel's glare at Elara carried nothing but venom.

"I want to see how a mere college graduate like you plans to raise Bambi! Bambi doesn't realize her life has already hit rock bottom. The gap between her and Beau is now an unbridgeable chasm.

"No matter how hard you try, Bambi will never reach the level Beau is destined for!"

Elara's voice remained calm. "Both my children came from the same womb. If Beau has something, Bambi should too.

"Since the Fisher family can't treat them equally, I will take Bambi and help her grow into who she wants to be."

Elara turned to leave with Bambi when a group of people carrying briefcases walked into the auditorium. The middle-aged man leading the group wore a modest white shirt and black trousers.

Elara's eyes narrowed. How coincidental—it was a famili

  • There's No Turning Back   Chapter 562

    Elara turned around to see Merida standing at the kitchen doorway in her teddy bear pajamas, rubbing her sleepy eyes.She set down her glass, walked over, and smoothed her daughter's hair. "Did you sleep well last night?""Yeah!" Merida nodded vigorously. "After Uncle Finn dropped me off, I fell asleep right away!"Merida had recently been practicing skateboarding at the provincial sports center. When Elara wasn't too busy, she'd pick her up or accompany her to training, but with the urgent project at Quantum Tech lately, she'd been working overtime every day. The task of taking Merida back and forth had fallen to Finnegan.The provincial team coach had noticed Merida's talent and was focusing on training her in skateboarding. Finnegan understood the technical aspects of sports better than Elara did.When Elara went along, she was simply there for company, only able to provide emotional support for Merida.Finnegan, on the other hand, could spot technical issues in Merida's perfo

    Theodore gently closed the bedroom door but didn't leave immediately. He leaned back against the cool door panel, standing quietly in the darkness for a few seconds before raising his hand to loosen his collar in irritation.The air seemed to still carry Elara's faint scent, mixed with the moist steam from the warm towel, silently lingering around his nose. He turned and walked toward the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows.Outside was the dazzling city night view, countless lights scattered like fallen stars, yet they couldn't illuminate his somewhat chaotic thoughts at this moment. He pulled out a cigarette pack from his pocket, drew one out, and put it between his lips, but paused when he reached for his lighter.He glanced back at the tightly closed bedroom door and ultimately stuffed the unlit cigarette back into the pack, tossing it casually on the coffee table. He couldn't leave a smell of smoke here. Merida wouldn't like it, and Elara would be annoyed with him.Theodore

    Theodore held his slightly stiff posture, not daring to move until the person in his arms breathed steadily again, as if the earlier movement had just been an unconscious shift during sleep.Only then did he slowly straighten up, gently push the car door closed with his foot, and carry Elara toward the elevator.She was so light. Theodore marveled inwardly. The woman in his arms was like a fallen leaf that could snap with just a bit more pressure from his embrace.Heat surged through the man's body as he suppressed his most primal impulses. For a man who regularly benched 180 pounds, lifting Elara with one arm would be more than enough. Yet sweat beaded on Theodore's face.He entered the elevator, thinking the bright lights might wake Elara. Theodore's gaze dropped to see Elara with her face buried against his chest, curled up in his arms.Theodore's breathing tightened as he looked at the peacefully sleeping face in his embrace. All her usual sharpness and capability had melted a

    Elara's lips curved upward. "Your analysis is on the right track."Theodore said, "Which means I didn't get it completely right."Elara replied, "I just analyzed the internal network data. Company information has been flowing to Price Nation headquarters every day. Priscilla has been monitoring Quantum Tech's data all along."On the other side, someone without Priscilla's level of access has been smuggling Quantum Tech's data out bit by bit."The car's interior lights were off, and neon glow from outside filtered in, casting an ethereal quality over Theodore's face. When they hit a red light up ahead, the car stopped, and Theodore turned to look at Elara in the passenger seat.He couldn't find any trace of worry on her profile, not even a hint of fatigue. Theodore broke into a grin. "You're excited.""Isn't this more interesting?" Elara countered. "Long-term data research is incredibly tedious. I knew Priscilla would challenge me, but I didn't expect someone else to join in too."

    Elara raised an eyebrow at Theodore, the corners of her eyes lifting with a hint of allure."Sorry," she said. "I know you want to help, but this is an internal Quantum Tech matter. I'd rather use my own people to handle it."Theodore replied, "You're right. After all, I'm not your man yet."The two staff members standing nearby looked like they wanted to disappear into the floor. Did Theodore realize what he was saying? Had they just overheard something they shouldn't have?So, the renowned heir from the Snapp family wasn't their boss's man yet?Though these two employees had been stuck watching monitors in the surveillance room since they were hired, they hadn't missed a single piece of gossip about their CEO.Elara shot Theodore a look. Compared to"I'm your man", saying "I'm not your man yet" sounded even more suggestive.Elara set up her laptop on the desk. The two employees watched as she inserted a USB drive into the computer. The drive had Quantum Tech's logo on it, marki

    "Should we do a sweep of the building?" Theodore asked her.Elara controlled the mouse with one hand as she checked earlier surveillance footage."No need to make a big deal out of catching one little mouse. Anyone who can hack three floors of surveillance probably has a team backing them up."The two duty personnel standing nearby still looked confused. One of them asked, "Ms. Jones, what exactly is happening?"They didn't quite understand the conversation between Elara and Theodore. As people specifically responsible for monitoring surveillance at the company, they naturally had some knowledge of programming code.They considered themselves graduates of prestigious universities with computer science degrees, making surveillance work at Quantum Tech completely beneath their qualifications.Just an hour ago, they'd been complaining about their stalled careers. Here they were, honor students from top universities earning nearly eight grand a month, yet stuck watching monitors in a
