Chapter 416

작가: Full of Luck
"If Mommy doesn't rush into the fire to protect me, I won't let Daddy blame you either—because you helped me see how heartless Mommy really is toward me!" Beau declared.

Ralph still hesitated, so Beau delivered his ultimatum, "If you don't do as I say, I'll fire you on the spot!"

Hearing Beau's final warning, Ralph's legs instantly turned to jelly. He couldn't afford to lose such a lucrative position in this tough job market.

Besides, he actually did know how to start fires safely. During his previous job at a fire station, he'd been the one responsible for controlled burns during building fire drills.

…

Meanwhile, Finnegan pulled out his phone and called Theodore. The gala performance had ended, and they were all preparing to leave.

Theodore sat in his sports car, watching as Finnegan's off-road vehicle came to an abrupt stop nearby, and Elara suddenly came sprinting out. He was just about to exit his vehicle when his phone rang.

Theodore answered the call, and Finnegan's voice

    Soon after, another message from Theodore appeared. "Yes, ma'am!"Elara's lips twitched slightly. She could almost hear Theodore saying those words in her ear.Then Theodore sent another message. "Can I bring you dinner again next time?"His question was cautious."Your cooking is really good," Elara praised him.She asked, "Would you mind handling my dinners from now on?""Yes, ma'am!"Theodore sent the same response again. Elara typed back. "Do you enjoy role-playing, Mr. Snapp? You sound like a butler."Theodore's reply popped up. "Then let me be your butler."Elara's fingertips moved rapidly across her phone screen. "Butlers aren't supposed to have improper thoughts about their masters."She stared at the conversation between herself and Theodore on her phone screen. It felt like they were flirting.Elara had a complex feeling she couldn't quite describe. She sensed herself being unconsciously drawn in, perhaps through Theodore's deliberate guidance.But his approach wa

    Sarah laughed. "Ms. Jones, you have such a great relationship with your brother! You're so lucky!"Elara smiled back at Sarah, suddenly feeling a bit guilty for using Finnegan as a cover story."My brother and I have always been close. He loves to cook, and he's very caring."Sarah was amazed. "Wow! I'm so jealous that Ms. Jones has such a wonderful brother! I'll leave you to enjoy your dinner then. Take your time."After Sarah left, Elara finally relaxed. She reopened the lunch box and looked at all the beautifully arranged food inside, all of which happened to be things she loved to eat.As she ate, her phone was propped up on a stand in front of her, showing the live feed from her home security system. Elara noticed that several dishes on the dining table at home were identical to what was in her lunch box.Theodore and Merida ate quickly. Although Elara always reminded Merida to eat slowly and sometimes even made her count ten chews before swallowing, Theodore couldn't be as

    Elara wasn't unfamiliar with men cooking. She'd been watching Finnegan at the stove since she was little. But she'd never taken the time to really appreciate Finnegan's every move while cooking.How could someone look so elegant even while cooking? When she was in the kitchen, even making a simple salad didn't feel particularly graceful to watch.Theodore was just naturally elegant in everything he did. He was elegant sitting in her passenger seat as her navigator, and when he kissed her, his expression was so refined she couldn't look away.His posture was perfectly straight. The security camera in the living room was positioned just right to capture the kitchen doorway, taking in the man's long legs and his perfectly proportioned frame.Then Merida appeared on screen, coming to Theodore's side. He handed her the dish he'd just finished cooking. Since this meal was just for him and Merida, the portions were smaller, but he'd used larger plates for presentation.After Merida helpe

    Niamh's lips curled up in a smile, and her dark eyes glittered with malice. The smile spread across her face as she silently counted down the seconds in her head.After half a minute, Harvey's voice finally came through. "I'll have Cyrus contact some bridal designers in Emaly and have them send their latest dresses to the Jones residence.""Harvey, thank you. You're always so nice to me…" Before Niamh could finish speaking, Harvey ended the call.Niamh let out a breath. She gripped her phone tighter, her eyes gleaming with satisfaction."Nini, where are you going?" Seeing Niamh suddenly turn and head for the exit, Daphne called out to her.Niamh stopped and looked down at Daphne with disdain. "These cheap dresses aren't good enough for me. Take your time picking if you like them. Dad will pay for it anyway."With that, Niamh left. The staff members surrounding Daphne exchanged bewildered glances."What the hell's wrong with her?" The staff exchanged knowing glances."We're one

    Niamh's voice caught in her throat. Harvey said through the phone, "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up.""Harvey!" Niamh quickly called out to stop him."I'm picking out wedding dresses. I know you don't have time to come with me. Don't worry, I won't cause you any more trouble.""You called just to tell me this?"Even through the phone, Niamh could sense that Harvey was on the verge of hanging up on her.She quickly said, "I texted Elara earlier, and she asked me why I wasn't getting a Valentino dress. She thought you'd fly me to Emaly to pick out a wedding dress."Obviously, Elara was laughing at me when she saw me choosing off-the-rack dresses. Harvey, you don't want Elara looking down on you, do you? I'm about to marry you. You can't let Elara laugh at you."A cold, cruel laugh came through Niamh's phone. "You're the one wearing a cheap dress, not me. Even if you dressed like a beggar, it wouldn't affect me at all."Don't try to manipulate me, Niamh. You think I'd sp

    When Niamh saw Daphne in the wedding dress, she rolled her eyes dramatically."Mom, are you crazy? I'm the one getting married, not you!"Niamh's tone was harsh, but Daphne automatically tuned her out and turned to admire herself in the full-length mirror.When she saw a staff member approaching, Daphne grinned and asked, "When you see us standing together, who do you think is the mother and who's the daughter?"The staff member was caught off guard. She obviously knew who her actual customer was since Niamh had made it clear when they arrived that she was here to try on wedding dresses and Daphne was just accompanying her.While Daphne looked young for her age, the age difference between her and Niamh was still obvious, no matter how well she maintained herself.When Daphne had asked the staff member to take down the wedding dress earlier, the employee had assumed she wanted to bring it to Niamh to try on. She never expected Daphne to put it on herself.The staff member gave Da
