“I want to eat what Merida’s nude made too, Mommy Play whispered longingly
waynatie snapped, setting a plate of boiled greensand broccoli in front of her.
Paisley had been raised as a strict vegetarian under Rosalie watchful eye. To keep her daughter’s figure slim, Boulle even meticulously controlled her portions.
Just th
Merida walked over, carrying a bowd of stir fried cabbage and crispy pan seared tofu
“Paisley, this is for you,” she said, turning to Rosalie. “It’s completely vegetarian. There’s not a trace of meat.”
Rosalie was unconvinced. She picked up her fork and stirred through the dish several times.
“This cabbage was stir fried in oil, so it’s not healthy. And the sauce on the tofu will make you gain weight!” she huffed.
Harold interjected, “Let her eat some.
He had seen Rosalie feeding Paisley nothing but boiled broccoll every day. Just looking at it made him feel
Reluctantly, Rosalie took a bowl of water and rinsed the cabbage and tofu multiple times before finally allowing Paisley to eat.
Meanwhile, several wealthy socialites noticed how their own children were happily eating alongside Merida, enjoying their meals with gusto. Seeing an opportunity, they eagerly approached Elara.
“Elara, here’s my card,”
ne of then said warmly. “I just opened a vintage luxury boutique. You should bring Merida by sometime. I’ll waive the cost for you.!
Another woman quickly squeezed in. “Ms. Jones, you’re a celebrity now, I’m sure you’ll need jewelry for all the events you attend.
“My store just received a new batch of ultra–pure gemstones. You should come take a look when you have time. I’ll cover the design and processing fees for you.“‘
Elara found herself collecting business cards while being bombarded with questions from the women, all eager to know how she got Merida to eat so well,
Beau sat off to the side, watching his classmates lining up and eating with enthusiasm. Suddenly, the chips in his hand didn’t seem as appetizing
But then he reminded himself that the food was made by his poor and pathetic Uncle Finn, so Beau had no interest in it.
His picky, pretentious mother had been raised by poor foster parents. He would never lower himself to eat something cooked by Finnegan!
He made a mental list of the kids happily enjoying Finnegan’s cooking. From now on, he wouldn’t play with any of them!
As Harold passed by Elara, she took the initiative to call out to him. “Mr. Judd, you previously mentioned ulim. Technologies to me. After some consideration, I’ve decided to join them.”
Hearing this, Harold was overjoyed. “Elara, you’ve made the right choice!”
Elara’s lips curved slightly, maintaining a composed expression as she spoke openly. “If I want to secure a higher

position and better salary at Ohm Technologies, I need to prove my worth to them.”
Harold immediately responded, “Elara, you can join my relearch lab!”
She shook her head with a smile. “I’ve been out of school for five years, so I’m no longer used to doing research. As it happens, Ohm Technologies is interested in acquiring my father’s company.
“If I can take the lead on this acquisition and deliver outstanding results, they might offer me a better salary package.”
Her smile brightened as she continued, “I was wondering you could put in a good word for me with the higher- ups at Ohm Technologies, so I can successfully take charge of the Joss Tech acquisition project.‘
Lowering her gaze, she allowed a touch of melancholy to surface. “You know my father and I aren’t close, and now that I’m divorced, things have become even more difficult. But I really want to join Ohm Technologies…”
Before she could finish, Harold was already stirred by emotion. He readily agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll talk to Ohm Technologies‘ executives. You’ll definitely be able to take over the Joss Tech acquisition project.”
With that, Elara confirmed her suspicions. Harold might appear to be just a professor receiving project funding from Ohm Technologies, but in reality, his connections with the company’s executives ran deep.
For a research professor to have a say in a tech giant’s acquisition deals, it was clear that Ohm Technologies valued him immensely.
