Chapter 153
After the engagement party ended. Elaine had someone send her friends home
However, Zachary stayed behind on purpose, wanting to chat with Elaine for a little longer, with
Ingram accompanying them.
With everyone else gone. Kingsley knew that they wanted to talk, so lie stepped back and gave them spice
Elaine watched Kingsley’s retreating figure, a sense of trampuility settling in her heart
Kingsley seemed to always know exactly what she wantedand needed, and took care of everything for her, without her ever having to ink.
Zachary had already learned from Ingram about Elaine’s life in Boynton over the past few years. He sighed deeply and said. “Elaine. I never expected you to have such a tough life.
I remember five years ago, you came rushing to my lab, excited about finding your biological parents. You were still just a teenager, so eager for the love and warmth of a family
I known earlier. I would have
I thought you’d find the affection you wanted with your parents, but I never imagined they’d treat you
cat you this way, Harl Ik made you my goddaughter, Whoever dares to hurt my daughter, I’ll make sure they pay for it!”
Zachary’s threat was fierce, and he certainly had the ability to carry it out
Though Elaine never officially acknowledged Zachary as her father, they had always shared a father–daughter relationship.
Elaine met Zachary through Ingram’s recommendation. It all began when Elaine was still studying at Lento University, and they hit it off because of their shared interests in academics and research.
Ingram said. “Elaine is a child I’ve watched grow up. She’s been skipping grades since elementary school, always outpacing her classmates, and even the teachers couldn’t keep up with her. She advanced straight to university
“Her IQ is off the charts, and her memory is exceptional. I’ve always believed she’s a rare, once–in–a–lifetime talent. From the moment I met her. I decided to support her education and take care of everything she needed.
“She shouldn’t have had to live like that, scavenging with her foster mother and unable to continue her studies. She deserves a much better life, one that belongs to her. As expected, Elaine has never failed to live up to our expectations
Ingram’s face brightened with a smile.
Elaine was so exceptionally talented. She should not just be leading an ordinary life–such potential should not go to waste.
On the other hand, Bianca leveraged Elaine’s identity as a stepping stone
“Perhaps, life is fair after all. While at granted Elaine a brilliant mind, it also deprived her of the warmth of a biological family. It’s hard to measure the true balance of what she’s gained and lost.
“I believe Elaine is now fully capable of living the life she wants to live, Ingram added.
Ingram’s final words were meant to comfort Elaine. It was completely normal for a young girl to long for the love and warmth of a family. Given that Elamar’s life was marked by a lack of familial affection, she was more susceptible to others‘ manipulation
Fortunately, Elaine finally came to her senses and cut ties with the Yeats family.
Zachary’s gaze toward Elaine softened with even more sympathy. He said, “You’re right, Ingram.

“Over the year, you and I have worked hard to nurture Elaine into an exceptional and talented individual, but we haven’t been : emotional solace she needs.
“The poor girl has suffered, and it pains me as an elder. She may shine brilliantly in the fields we’re familiar with, but in matters of the heart, she’s still naive and inexperiented, resulting in the Yeats family hurting her easily.”
Seeing Zachary sigh, Ingram could not help but chuckle. “Zachary, you’re worrying too much. While neither of us could teach Elaine about love and relationships, there is someone who can
Zachary asked, “Who?”
Ingram smiled. “Kingsley”

Ever since Ingram learned that Elaine was going to marry Kingsley, he had been quietly observing this prospective son–in–law.

Fortunately, Kingsley was just as the rumors say his character, abilities, and personality were all excellent, and the heir to one of Lento City’s top

Having a son–in-
-law like that would make any father–in–law smile even in his dreams.
“Oh” Zachary said
As Zachary thought about Kingsley, a realization seemed to hit him, and he smiled again.
Te known Kingsley since he was young. He’s always been more composed than others, with great character and exceptional ability–just right for Elaine. I’m totally at ease with her marrying him,” he said.
Ingram chuckled. You’ve watched Kingsley grow up, while I watched Elaine grow up. Doesn’t that make us a good pair of in–laws
Zachary said. “In that case, we should drink to this, right? Tonight, we don’t stop until we’re drunk “
Ingram said. “Well, that’s settled then. You’re not going back to Lento City tonight. I’ll call your wife right now.”
After saying that, Ingram and Zachary looked at each other and smiled.
Ingrah
had met Elaine purely by chance. When he witnessed her incredible memory and learning abilities, he took her to get an IQ test.
Later, he approached Melissa. He wanted to pave an extraordinary path for Elaine.
Although Melissa had never attended school, she understood that for a child to have a bright future, they must receive an education and gain knowledge
Hence, the entrusted Elaine to Ingram, knowing that he was the Mayor, and was deeply grateful for his financial support.
Looking back on these events, Ingram could not help but feel sentimental
Flane then added with a smile, “Why don’t you stay at the Morgan family’s house tonight! Kingsley should get a chance to properly reintroduce himself to you both again”
Ingram chuckled and said, “That goes without saying”
Once they finished talking about family matters, Zachary brought up something else. “Ingram, there’s one thing that worries me. Elaine is still so young, yet she’s already in an influential position and carrying so many secrets, I worry that she might attract the wrong kind of attention–t wouldn’t be good for her.”
Most people thought Elaine had never been formally educated, but the truth was that she had already graduated from Lento University.
Elaine had even studied abroad under the university’s sponsorship, earning prestigious international degrees.
Elaine had fast–tracked her studies–while others were still burning the midnight oil, she had already secured all her academic credentials. Her exceptional talent made her stand out far too much.
When Elaine finally appeared before the public, she was nothing more than an unremarkable adopted daughter of the Yeats family.
Ingram nodded, understanding Zachary’s concerns. “Rest assured, I’ve already thought this through. Elaine’s brilliance is undeniable – she can shine as much as she wants in private, but outwardly, we must ensure appearances are carefully maintained. We can’t let ill–intentioned people set
“Everything will be handled step by step” Zachary nodded, his thoughts aligning with Ingram.
As for what “step by step meant, that was something to be figured out later.
Elaine knew they were doing everything they could to protect her, and she had no objections to their plans.
