Chapter 211
Theodore let out a scornful laugh. “Ha, I think I just heard the sound of someone’s heart shattering.”

His voice was sharp, arrogant, and laced with mockery. As spoke, he turned to look at Finnegan, expecting to see his face darken with rage.
However, instead of fury, Finnegan stood there with his arms crossed. He was watching Elara and Lesley embrace with a look that held something almost… reassuring.
Theodore was baffled. Walt, was he the only fool here?
So, that shattered heart on the ground–It was his?
Ha. It was no wonder they called Finnegan a model soldier. Even if the world crumbled around him, he remained unshaken.
But in reality? Theodore was pretty damn sure Finnegan was holding himself back with everything he had. If is weren’t for Elara, he’d probably have rushed forward and punched that rascal Lesley twice already.
Theodore took a deep breath. He needed to learn a thing or two from Lt. Lloyd. If he wanted to be the perfect homewrecker, he had to build up some patience!
“I want to kiss Lesley too!” Watching Elara shower Lesley with affectionate kisses, Merida grew eager to join in Elara picked Merida up, and the little girl happily planted several kisses on Lesley’s cheeks, Lesley’s eyes shimmered with emotion, and even her neck turned red.
Flustered, she stammered, “Is this your daughter?
Elara nodded, “Mm–hmm. Her name is Merida Jones, but you can just call her Merida.”
Lesley’s gaze softened as she wrapped her arms around Merida, while Elara encircled them both in her embrace. Theodore felt like he couldn’t breathe. It was as if a wounded crane had plummeted from the sky. His once proud and striking features turned pale as snow.
“Why the hell aren’t you stopping this?” Theodore finally snapped, unable to hold back any longer.
Finnegan looked at him, confused. “Stopping what?”
“You do the killing, and I’ll clean up the body!” Theodore had already planned out Finnegan’s life behind bars. This could be a perfect two–birds–one–stone scenario. He’d be eliminating two competitors in one move Finnegan’s gaze turned disdainful. He had picked up on Theodore’s hostility toward Lesley and issued a warning.” Don’t interfere with their reunion.”
Theodore was appalled. “As her brother, are you just going to let them hug and kiss in public?”
Finnegan saw nothing wrong with it. “And why not? Elara basn’t seen Lesley in a long time.”
Theodore looked at Finnegan as if he were seeing him for the first time. “So, Lt. Lloyd, you’ve already resigned yourself to being the fourth party?”
Finnegan was immensely confused by him. What the hell was this man even saying?
Theodore’s expression darkened as his gaze locked onto Lesley with an intensity that could slice her in half. He muttered under his breath, “As long as I live, you’re all just mistresses.”

Chapter 211
Finnegan, ever perceptive, quickly caught on. He hesitantly asked, “Wait… You’ve never actually seen Lesley before, have you?”
“No.” Theodore snapped irritably.
Had he known earlier that Elara and Lesley were this close he would have rerouted Lesley’s entire flight midair. before the man even reached Capitol.
Finnegan raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised. “Lesley used to work for you. You seriously never…”
“I was the owner. Aside from my executive managers, no one knew the real age or identity of Moonchaser’s founder.”
Theodore had only created the Moonchaser Racing Club to propel Elara into the spotlight. As for the rest of the club’s staff? He had left all hiring decisions to his management team.
Whoever they had recruited, he had never bothered to look into it. His eyes had always been on Elara. As for her navigator? He had never cared to know.
Finnegan’s lips curled into a smug, gloating smile. Just then, Elara walked toward them, arm in arm with Lesley.
