Chapter 24

Author: Full of Luck
Elara chuckled and said, "I've thrown away plenty of trash. Take your time picking it up."

Even if Niamh stripped naked and lay in Harvey's bed, it wouldn't spark a shred of anger in Elara. She would only watch with amusement as Niamh brought about her own downfall.

Upon learning that the bracelet was a gift from Harvey, Abel seemed relieved. It confirmed to him that Niamh still held a firm grip on Harvey's heart.

Abel shifted his anger toward Elara at the dining table.

"You must have done something to upset Mr. Fisher that led to the divorce! I'm telling you right now that you ought to go and patch things up with him!

"The Jones family are against divorces! Aren't you embarrassed? You're a 30-year-old single mom! Who would want you after this?"

Elara ate calmly, occasionally checking on Bambi to ensure she was eating well. She asked, "Dad, aren't you going to ask me why I divorced Harvey?"

"Why bother? You couldn't even keep a man! Do you know how hard I worked to arrange the m

    Elara called Leonard, and a cool, low male voice came through the phone. "Elara, what's up?"He sounded like he'd been expecting her call."Mr. Fisher, do you have any free time coming up?"Elara briefly explained about the kindergarten family activity, then said, "I know your time is valuable, and this kind of event might not be on your usual schedule. But Merida and I would really love it if you and Xavier could come."The line went quiet for a few seconds. Elara instinctively held her breath, almost able to imagine Leonard frowning slightly as he reviewed his calendar.Just when she expected him to politely decline, Leonard spoke. "Alright, I'll bring Xavier."Elara felt surprised he actually agreed, yet it also made sense. To help Xavier return to a normal life, Leonard had already made quite a few compromises."That's wonderful." Joy colored her voice.Through the phone, Leonard heard Elara speaking to Merida. "Your Granduncle Leonard said yes! We'll be making pastries toge

    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
