Chapter 34
""Of course not" Elara shook her head.
"The world harbors a lot of malice toward girls. We can't change others, so we can only be more cautious ourselves, Barrett said. "I get it, Dad!"This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
As the topic was concluded, Barrett asked about her land purch
Elara replied that she just wanted to try her hand at investing, to which Barrett had no objections.
Previously, she had never shown any interest in business... Unlike Lysander, who was now helping his uncle manage company affairs. Because Elara wasn't interested, Barrett didn't force her. Anyway, he could support her.

Now that Elara was willing to try something on her own, he was naturally glad. Til call Hadden in a bit and have him hand over his land. Also, I'll arrange two assistants for you. So you can have them help you with anything" "Really?"
With Barrett's support, Elara was very happy. "Thanks, Dad. When I'm capable in the future, I can also help you."
"How come you've suddenly become so sensible? I don't even have the heart to criticize you. Have you been stimulated by something recently? Actually, I would rather see you in your carefree days before." Seeing such a sweet Elara, Barrett only felt heartache. He always felt as if she had gone through something and had become much steadier.
Elara looked at him.
Before she time traveled, Barrett passed away early. When she died, it had already been over a decade. Back then, everyone in the company sided with Asher, who had completely turned the Kensington family's company into his own. She had long lost any say in the company. And she had no one to rely on either. But now... Showering in her father's love, Elara was incredibly happy.
"I just feel like I was so stupid before. All I cared about was a man, always out playing whenever you came home. At that time, she followed Asher around every day as if she couldn't breathe without him. Instead, she didn't get to spend much time with her father. When she wanted to see Barrett later, she realized it was too late.
The next day, the two assistants arranged by Barrett started their jobs. With their help, Elara's efficiency improved. significantly.
In the afternoon, Elara first met with Hadden.
Since Barrett had spoken up, Hadden signed the agreement with Elara directly.
After handling all this, Elara let the assistants go home first and went to Lysander's place.
Lysander was in his study, handling some work.
Elara sat on the sofa, reading a book.
Lysander arranged her extracurricular courses every day. As she had fallen behind too much before, he had to help her Wed, Nov 6

At this moment, someone walked in, greeting. "Lysander!"

very cute girl appeared at the door. She looked quite young, probably still in middle school. Seeing Elara here, she paused and asked. "Who is she?"
"Get out." Lysander clearly didn't want to talk to her.
"When will you help me with my homework? I heard you've bee tutoring Elara every day recently! Why?" Violet questioned.
Hearing this, Elara glanced weakly at Violet and said, "Hello, Ini Elara.
Violet looked at her with mixed feelings. "So it's you! The one who often upsets Lysander and likes Asher Blackwood? And you actually want to be Lysander's fiancée? How could you let her in, Lysander?" Violet pouted, looking visibly unhappy. She had long heard of Elara and had a poor impression of her, utterly disbelieving that her dad would even consider letting someone like that marry her cousin. Helpless, Lysander stood up, grabbed Violet by the collar, and threw her out the door.
"Is she your sister?" Elara watched the scene in surprise.
"My uncle's daughter."
I've never seen her." Elara felt unfamiliar.
"My uncle and aunt got divorced. She sometimes comes over, but she doesn't stay here most of the time."
Elara had little contact with them, to begin with, and she had only met Lysander a few times, so it wasn't surprising that she didn't know Violet.
She didn't miss Violet's words just now and looked at Lysander. She said I often upset you? When was that?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense! There's no such thing. Elara, don't come over tomorrow, I'll go to your place. It'll be mor convenient. Lysander looked at her.
If she came over a couple more times, his little secrets wouldn't be able to stay hidden. Lysander wanted to keep his image in front of her.
"Alright then. Elara nodded.
"It was evident that Lysander really didn't want me to come over. He looks like someone who really needs boundaries while I have none, she analyzed inwardly.
After she finished her homework, Lysander personally escorted her home.
On the way, Lysander remained very quiet, and Elara sat beside him, scrolling through her Twitter. Lysander secretly glanced at her, enjoying this moment of being alone with her.
The car had barely arrived at the Kensington family when they noticed Jefferson pleading at the gate, "Let me see Mr. Kensington! I need to speak with him urgently."
"You're so annoying! Do you think you can just see Mr. Kensington whenever you want?" the security guard retorted, growing impatient.

Although Jefferson used to be the Kensington family's driver, he was the one the guard disliked the most because he would often boast in front of them, claiming that Elara was destined to marry his son, which everyone took seriously. Now, however, Elara was no longer in a relationship with Asher. They naturally wouldn't let him in. Seeing Elara's car, Jefferson quickly walked over and blocked its th
Unable to enter the gate, Elara rolled down her window and asked, "What's the matter?"-
The security guard approached and said to Elara, "Miss, he says he wants to see Mr. Kensington."
"My dad should be out at the moment," Elara replied.
Tve told him, but he won't listen."
As the security guard spoke, Jefferson had already walked over. "Elara, please save Asher! He was taken away."
"Taken away?" Elara was puzzled. "By whom?"
"Those who want money! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have owed them money. Now they're taking Asher to pay off the debt! They even threatened that they'd cut off one of his hands if I didn't pay up." Elara frowned at his words.
Jefferson looked at her again. "Please help. You and Asher were once so close! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have gambled. shouldn't have owed so much money. I promise I'll never gamble again!"
Now that his son was taken away, Jefferson couldn't care less about his pride. Although he often beat and scolded Asher, Asher was, after all, his flesh and blood and also his hope. Naturally, he couldn't bear to lose him.
