Chapter 412:
Elyse, feeling powerless, asked, “Do you happen to know that man’s name? If you're interested in him, | can help
you pursue him.”
Fiona let out a sigh and replied, “I asked him, but he refused to disclose his name. He said he just savedfor
no reason.”
Pausing for a moment, she added admiringly, “He was undeniably awesome.”
Elyse’s lips twitched, unsure of how to respond.
Fiona admitted with frustration, “I should've been more assertive yesterday. Now | don’t even know his name.
Finding him again might prove difficult.”
“There could be an opportunity in the future. Perhaps he works nearby,” Elyse reassured her.
Fiona nodded. “You're right.”

Then Elyse resumed playing the violin and urged, “Fiona, let's keep practicing. If Gavin comes back and sees
we've been slacking off, he’ll make us practice for a longer time.”
Fiona nodded. “Let's begin. We can’t afford to be caught in the wrong.”
Theo sat in his office, attentively listening to the manager's report. Suddenly, his assistant, JaCruz, rushed in
and whispered something urgently into his ear.
Furrowing his brow, Theo raised his hand, interrupting the manager mid-sentence. “Alright, proceed as
discussed. You may leave first.”

The manager nodded and exited the room.
Turning to Jaime, Theo asked, “Is it true that Elyse will be participating in that competition tomorrow?”
Jareplied, “Yes, I've looked into it. She will be competing, and I've made arrangements for someone to
secure front-row tickets. We'll have them.”
Theo nodded thoughtfully before expressing his confusion, “Then why did you appear so concerned when you
entered? Isn't acquiring front-row tickets a positive development?”
Jaime’s expression turned bitter. “Well, just as | entered, | received word that your mother wants you to
accompany Miss Jimenez. Apparently, she’s been in a foul mood lately.”
Theo scoffed, “Askingto coax Freda? Hasn't she given up yet? Why force a connection with the Jimenez
family through marriage?”
Jasighed helplessly, “I wish | knew. But your mother insisted that you must comply, or else she’ll have you
transferred abroad, only allowing you to return after five years.”
Theo sneered once more, his eyes brimming with disdain. Since Theo was Zandra’s only son, it was out of the
question for her to hand the company over to anyone else. However, she didn’t want him to pursue Elyse, so she
decided to transfer him abroad.
Theo acknowledged that it was a clever strategy. At least it would force him to take matters seriously.

After a moment of quick thinking, he instructed, “Go ahead and secure the tickets for tomorrow.”
Jawas taken aback. “Mr. Ward, do you intend to take Miss Jimenez to watch Ms. Lloyd's performance?”
Theo replied casually, “Freda seems to be in a sour mood, doesn’t she? Perhaps inviting her to enjoy music will
lift her spirits.”
Though Jawanted to point out the potential cruelty of the gesture towards Freda, he decided to remain silent.
Despite feeling sorry for Freda, Jahad no choice but to obediently purchase the tickets, knowing full well that
Theo was deeply in love with Elyse.
Janodded promptly. “Understood, Mr. Ward. I'll ensure the task is completed.”
Two hours later, Freda, enjoying a facial with her friend in the beauty salon, received Theo's message. Delighted,
she exclaimed, “See? Theo invitedto enjoy smusic. He must have feelings for me.”
Freda’s friend, Alena Walsh, glanced at the message and remarked, “Enjoy music? Could it be his ex-girlfriend’s
performance?”
