Chapter 396

Author: Full of Luck
Paisley stood at the center of the stage and bowed, thanking the audience. Meanwhile, the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause. Several parents who knew Rosalie turned to praise her.

"Ms. Fisher, you've done such a wonderful job raising her."

"Paisley's dancing was beautiful. With her on stage, the whole performance became so pleasing to watch."

Parents from the same class chimed in as well. "Rosalie made the right call by having Merida step down from the rehearsals. If Merida had performed, it definitely wouldn't have turned out this well."

"Exactly. Rosalie really has great foresight."

As they spoke, their glances drifted—intentionally or not—toward Elara.

In the microcosm of the school community, parents were sorted by social circles. Even if they acknowledged Elara's competence, to them, she still had no real backing.

And without that, she might as well have had nothing. In the world of elite parents at one of Capitol's top schools, Elara stood on shaky ground. Those ho

    "I did eat something—something terrible!" said Finnegan.Merida asked curiously, "What was it?"Just then, the glass kitchen door slid open, and Theodore came out carrying a steaming plate of pasta. He sat down next to Finnegan while Elara sat with Merida."Smell this pasta Elara made for me." Theodore held the bowl up to Finnegan's face.Before Finnegan could even take a breath, Theodore pulled the plate away."Finny's probably had Elara's cooking before, so you've probably gotten tired of it by now. But for me, getting to eat something Elara made with her own hands is really special."Merida caught what Theodore was saying. "Mommy's cooking never gets old!"Theodore said, "Well, your Uncle Finn has been living with your mom longer than you have."Finnegan glanced at the pasta on Theodore's plate and let out a cold laugh. "That pasta doesn't have an egg on top, which means it was made for a guest. When Elara cooks for family, it doesn't look like that."Merida recalled it too

    Finnegan glared at Theodore with pure warning in his eyes. Even though Elara knew this was Theodore's deliberate guilt trip, she couldn't actually let him stand outside eating a burger."Let me make you some pasta then."Elara was about to get up when Finnegan said, "I'll do it."Theodore spoke up, "I want Elara to cook for me personally!"As he spoke, there was obvious smugness gleaming in his eyes. Finnegan warned him, "Don't push your luck!"Elara had already gotten up and headed to the kitchen, with Theodore following right behind."Finny says I shouldn't push my luck, so how about I give you a shoulder massage instead? You cook for me, and I give you a massage. That's fair trade, right?"His voice was incredibly enticing, making Elara's ears burn."You really are shameless," she said with a laugh."Oh, you don't want me to massage you?" If Theodore were a dog, his fluffy ears would definitely be drooping right now.Elara warned him, "Behave yourself, or my brother really

    Finnegan was cooking when they heard the sound of the front door being unlocked. Merida pushed open the door."Mommy! I'm home!"Elara was sitting at the dining table, working on blueprints, with her laptop and tablet spread out in front of her. She'd been swamped with company business lately and had originally planned to help Finnegan with dinner, but he'd been thoughtful enough to tell her to focus on work first.Elara turned around to see Theodore following behind Merida. He was carrying her backpack and kicked off his shoes at the entrance.Finnegan came out of the kitchen carrying a freshly made pasta primavera, and seeing Theodore's casual smile, alarm bells started going off in his head."What are you doing coming in? You can drop Merida off and leave."Theodore tilted his head with an innocent expression. "I'm here to join this family. Finn, aren't you going to welcome me?"Finnegan radiated dark, ominous energy. Just then, Elara spoke up from behind him, "Let Mr. Snapp

    Abel watched Elara's retreating figure, his eyes narrowing."Mr. Fisher is angry with Niamh now because Elara's divorce made the Fishers look bad throughout the Capitol. But he definitely still has feelings for Niamh. Since she's pregnant with his child, he'll surely marry her."Daphne frowned with concern. "Will the Fishers really allow two daughters from the Jones family into their household?"Abel was so furious he could barely speak. "That ungrateful little snake!"Daphne knew Abel was cursing Elara."If only we could have stopped Elara from getting divorced back then and realized earlier that Harvey didn't like Elara, we could have arranged for Niamh to be his mistress."A grim look crossed Abel's face. "We've been fooled by Elara all along!"He'd thought Elara was a woman without opinions, that marrying into the Fisher family was the opportunity of a lifetime. He never expected his daughter to throw away such good fortune and divorce Harvey so decisively.Now it was going

    Finnegan stepped forward, and Abel stumbled backward in panic."Get lost!" He spat out the words, making Abel's entire body tremble as he nearly collapsed to the ground.Finnegan's stare was so cold and menacing that it made Abel's blood run cold.Abel's bravado completely crumbled in front of Finnegan. Though Abel was nearly six feet tall himself and had always been considered handsome and well-built among his peers, Finnegan stood at 6'2" with muscles beneath his gray shirt that radiated raw power.Just having him nearby made Abel feel like Finnegan could crush his skull with a single punch. Abel knew when he was outmatched, and he couldn't help but regret not bringing more people today. He'd brought Daphne along, thinking he could play the family card with Elara, never expecting Finnegan to be by her side."You!" Abel wanted to lash out at Finnegan, but when it came down to it, he couldn't even work up the nerve to say anything.He let out a cold snort and walked past Finnegan

    The black Jeep stopped, and the car window rolled down, revealing Elara's pale, frost-like complexion."Lara!" Joy lit up in Daphne's eyes.Elara looked at her mother, her dark eyes holding only cold detachment, "I'm no longer the mother of the Fisher family's heir. Merida is my only child now. If you want someone to manipulate those two kids, you're asking the wrong person.""Elara!" Abel spoke up, "The Jones family cannot lose the Fishers! We already let you have your way once when you divorced Harvey."As my daughter and the one in charge of Jones Group, you should take responsibility for maintaining the marriage alliance between the Jones and Fisher families! If you won't be Harvey's wife, then Niamh wants to! You have to help her!"Elara let out a cold laugh. "If Niamh actually marries Harvey, the Jones family will be the joke of the entire city! Two sisters married to the same man—we'll be a laughingstock wherever we go!""What would you know!" Abel raised his voice. "I don
