Chapter 36

작가: Full of Luck
"Tsk." Harvey set his phone down with a look of irritation. It seemed Elara was still playing games with him.

"Oh, come on! Don't let Elara get to you!" Niamh threw an arm around Harvey's neck and playfully patted his chest twice.

He made no effort to push her away. Niamh then followed him back into the private lounge while clinging onto Harvey.

Inside, a group of elite heirs was deep in discussion about the stock market, excitedly talking about multiple stocks surging that day.

"I heard a little rumor—apparently, the Fisher family invested 60 million into BrightPeak Securities two days ago."

These socialites had their ways of obtaining inside information. A transaction of that magnitude between Elara and BrightPeak Securities had not gone unnoticed.

All eyes quickly turned to Harvey. He hesitated for a moment, then dismissed it with a casual shrug, thinking Elara merely got beginner's luck.

"My wife just got lucky."

Even he wondered if Elara had overheard some inside informati

  • There's No Turning Back   Chapter 491

    Suddenly, someone hugged Xavier from behind. Elara pulled him into her embrace.She let Xavier lean against her chest, her warm palm covering the back of his head."You don't need to apologize to anyone. This isn't your fault. Being able to eat at Ember House with you makes Merida, Mr. Theodore, and me very happy. This is a special experience for all of us."Xavier's body trembled violently, but his breathing gradually calmed down after being enveloped in Elara's presence. His small hands clutched the fabric at Elara's waist as he buried his face in her embrace, whimpering while desperately trying to suppress any sound.He just felt so pathetic!Elara held Xavier without speaking further, just keeping her palm on the back of his head while trying to give him as much security as possible.Soon, the police arrived. Elara told them, "This woman tried to take this kid, and she also attempted to slap my daughter, but was stopped by her."Harold couldn't help saying, "Elara, aren't yo

    Angie's slap flew toward Merida but stopped abruptly when it was still about an inch from the girl's face.Merida had grabbed Angie's other hand. Angie felt as though the bones in both her hands were about to snap."Ow! It hurts!" Angie cried out, turning to glare at Elara. "Elara, control your child!"Elara said coldly, "Merida, restrain her!""You got it!" Merida replied cheerfully to her mother, positioning herself like a fierce guardian.Theodore asked, "Need any help?""No," Elara declined. "I'll handle calling the police."Elara dialed 911 directly. "Hello, there's someone causing a disturbance at Ember House in Joy City Mall. The woman's assaulting children and trying to kidnap my child."Xavier looked at Elara. Was she referring to him when she said "my child"?His heart trembled, though his expression remained somewhat bewildered.His somatization symptoms were now obvious—he felt his entire body going rigid. The stares from surrounding diners felt like glue, freezin

    Angie's face turned red, then white, at Theodore's comment. She was accustomed to being admired in Melcina and had enjoyed a smooth sailing life since returning home. Theodore's single remark felt like being slapped with that piece of beef, leaving her embarrassed and mortified.Elara looked at her. "Ms. Shelton, I understand you want to improve your relationship with Xavier, but these things can't be rushed.""Do you think I need you to teach me these things?" Angie shot back, her temper flaring as all her accumulated frustration with Elara finally erupted."Do you know Xavier's background? Do you know what he's been through? You understand nothing, so don't pretend you know Xavier!"Angie raised her voice, attracting the attention of nearby diners.Ember House's seating was quite close together, and diners at the surrounding tables were now looking their way."Angie," Harold approached."I got us seats with a colleague up front. Come on, we can go eat now."Angie looked away

    The cheese and chocolate fondue pots were brought to the table by the server. Elara and Theodore sat together, with Merida and Xavier sitting across from them."This is Xavier's first time having fondue, right? I'll teach you how to dip the beef!" Merida said.She picked up the fondue fork. The thoughtful server had provided a booster seat so she could stand on her chair and reach the fondue pots comfortably.Although Xavier had never eaten fondue before, he understood the concept. Despite his lack of experience, he knew how fondue worked. But Merida was eager to teach him, so he watched her movements intently, learning carefully.Elara observed the two children sitting across from them. If she were dining out with Beau, she would have never been able to sit separately from him.Beau needed someone beside him to help with his food, someone to ensure he had a balanced meal during dinner, and to encourage him to eat his vegetables. Otherwise, he'd only eat what he liked and was extr

    Elara remembered that Leonard had told her Xavier and Angie had no connection. Yet Angie was claiming that her relationship with Xavier was special."You're Xavier's..." Elara began.Angie looked up at her with a warning in her expression. "Xavier and I share a blood relation!"Elara paused. "So, you're saying you're Xavier's relative?"Angie stood up and said coldly, "I can't tell you the exact nature of my relationship with Xavier.""Then why mention a blood relation at all?" Elara couldn't help but think sarcastically, and even Merida's expression turned skeptical.Angie reached out to Xavier. "Xavier, would you like me to take you to dinner?"Xavier, hiding behind Elara, shook his head. He was clearly rejecting Angie's invitation.Angie then said to Elara, "Ms. Jones, I'd like to take Xavier out for dinner.""Xavier has already clearly refused your offer."Angie took a breath and said, "You're planning to take your daughter and Xavier to dinner shortly, aren't you? Could

    This time, Angie watched helplessly as Elara drove the go-kart across the finish line.What made this loss particularly difficult for Angie to accept wasn't simply being beaten by someone else—it was knowing exactly who had outpaced her, someone she couldn't catch, no matter how hard she tried.Despite her best efforts, she couldn't overtake Elara. And this time, she'd navigated the turns flawlessly. Angie reached the finish line in her go-kart and sat there, stunned and distracted.How had she lost to Elara? In the workplace, she could accept that Elara might have connections.But in a go-kart race? They'd even swapped vehicles and raced twice, yet she still lost.Was it possible that, being a full-time mom, driving kids around all day, had somehow given Elara extraordinary driving skills?Angie's mind was in complete disarray. Her eyes unfocused as she still refused to accept the reality of her defeat."Woohoo!" Angie heard the employees cheering.Elara stood up from the go

    Angie's shock quickly passed, and she regained her composure. She smiled at Elara and said, "Racing against me in a modified go-kart seems a bit unfair, Ms. Jones.""Modified?" Elara asked, confused by Angie's accusation.Theodore laughed when he heard Angie's words. "Surely someone's not a sore loser here?"Angie's face flushed, knowing Theodore was referring to her.With a serious expression, she said, "I simply suspect that Ms. Jones' go-kart has been modified. After all, enhancing a go-kart's performance is quite simple."Theodore replied, "I didn't expect Quantum Tech to employ people who can't accept defeat and make baseless accusations."Samuel took Angie's side. "Let's examine Elara's vehicle and see if Angie's suspicion is correct.""That won't be necessary," Elara refused coldly.Samuel stared at her with frigid eyes and smiled icily. "It seems you're afraid."Elara said, "Angie, you take my go-kart, and I'll drive yours. We'll race again."If you lose, you'll be re

    The countdown sound began, and the moment it ended, both go-karts shot past the starting line simultaneously.Harold stood on his tiptoes, craning his neck to see the track. He and Samuel followed the racing go-karts with their eyes.When they saw Angie falling behind within seconds, the excitement in Samuel and Harold's eyes instantly faded.Harold scratched his head. "I thought Angie would lead the whole way."As Angie fell further behind, Samuel's heart tightened with concern. "Let's wait a bit longer," he said.No sooner had he spoken than they watched the distance between Angie and the go-kart ahead grow increasingly wider."Wow!" Harold exclaimed in surprise. He turned to Theodore and said, "Mr. Snapp, your friend has some serious skills!"Only then did Harold notice Merida and Xavier standing beside Theodore. He smiled teasingly, "Mr. Snapp, so you're on babysitting duty, huh?"He assumed Elara was busy and Theodore was helping look after the children. Theodore simply ig

    Angie took a sip of coffee and casually remarked to Harold and Samuel, "I was just driving casually when I set the record. It's good that someone's finally breaking it, but..."Angie rested one hand on the railing and looked down. In a single day, her record had been broken by two go-karts, both carrying children. This suggested that without the children, they could shave several more seconds off their lap time.Angie's brow furrowed. "I don't understand why they're pushing so hard with children on board. It's quite dangerous."Her voice carried a hint of criticism.Harold, eager to flatter Angie, chimed in, "If you set that record just driving casually, imagine what would happen if you took it seriously. You could set a record no one could touch!"Angie stated, "My fastest record is probably about a third quicker than theirs.""Wow!" Harold and Samuel exclaimed simultaneously, looking at her with increased admiration.The leading go-kart pulled far ahead on the track below. Ang
