In an instant, Harvey's entire face was flushed so red, it looked like it could start bleeding."Shit!" he cursed, disregarding his manners.He got out of bed as if he was escaping and rushed into the bathroom. The sound of rushing water drowned out his slightly calmed breaths.He was no longer a boy. He thought he had long outgrown such impulses. After all, his son was old enough to run errands on his own. Yet here he was, waking up to a mess on his sheets.Harvey closed his eyes as the water cascaded over his tense face. The dream had been bizarre and surreal. He didn't want to think about it anymore. Was he really that desperate for a woman?He had dreamed of Luna, yet the face he saw was Elara's. Harvey let out a cold laugh. How ridiculous.…The ALI Math Competition finals had arrived in the blink of an eye. ALI Group had set up a small exam venue at Capitol University and was live streaming the entire competition online. Since netizens had questioned the competition's fair

Harold paused for a moment before continuing, "I really admire you. You've left school for five years, yet you still have the courage to participate in the toughest competition in the county."Elara smiled, but her dark eyes remained as cold as a still lake."I admire you as well. In just five years, you've risen smoothly through the ranks to become a candidate for dean."Harold shook his head modestly. "Not at all. I have no real interest in the race for dean. My name is just there to fill the list.""Your journey ahead may not be as smooth as before," Elara reminded him.Facing the man who had stolen her academic achievements, Elara was far less composed than she appeared on the surface. She wanted to tear him to pieces.One day, she would make him erase every word that did not belong to him in front of the judiciary.Harold looked at Elara with an expression of innocent surprise. He loved using that look—staring straight at people, projecting an image of pure harmlessness. He

In the Fisher Corp president's office, Cyrus held his iPad at his side after finishing his report. After a moment of hesitation, he finally couldn't resist bringing it up to Harvey."Mr. Fisher, today is… Today is the final day of the ALI Group Mathematics Competition."Harvey sat in his office chair, having just signed a document. A Montblanc pen worth millions spun lightly between his fingertips. His sharp, chiseled features showed no trace of emotion. "You're very concerned about my ex-wife."The moment he spoke, a chill ran down Cyrus's spine. Under Harvey's pressure, he lowered his head."Every year, after the ALI Mathematics Competition, Fisher Corp extends offers to the top 20 finalists. If Elara happens to make it into the top 20..."Cyrus dared not imagine what it would be like for Elara and Harvey to work together. If Elara really did enter Fisher Corp, he would have to warn the entire company in advance to ensure no one accidentally offended her.Harvey's tone was in

Harvey had never spoken up for any woman before.Ethel was furious. "How could you speak to me in such a manner? Has that vixen Luna bewitched you so badly that you don't even recognize your own mother anymore?"Before Ethel could finish her sentence, Harvey hung up. He tossed his phone onto the desk. His handsome face looked so cold that it could freeze water. It would have been fine had Ethel not brought up Luna. The moment she did, suspicion surged through him.Previously, on Clockwork Mountain, he had told Luna to pick up the car from the Fisher residence. However, three days had passed, yet she never showed up. Other than Theodore, no one had been able to reach her."Sell my Bugatti La Voiture Noire and Aston Martin Valkyrie from the garage!" he commanded his secretary.Cyrus was at a loss. "Mr. Fisher, why are you suddenly selling your cars?"Both were top-tier, limited-edition supercars. Even just seeing them in the garage had left Cyrus awestruck.Harvey's expression r

After that reporter spoke, the ones with the biggest reactions were other journalists."You guys from Platinum 818 are pretty impressive! You actually managed to interview Ms. Jones' son?""Ms. Jones has a son? I thought she only had a daughter."The reporter with yellowed teeth and a sunken face let out a malicious laugh. "Not only do I know that Ms. Jones has a son, but I also dug up the identity of her ex-husband! Who would have thought that her ex-husband is none other than Harvey Fisher, the president of Fisher Group!"That single sentence struck the crowd like a thunderclap, sending the reporters into an uproar."Holy shit! Is that true?""Harvey? You mean the Harvey Fisher, the Fisher Group president, one of the three most powerful heirs in the Capitol?" Upon hearing this explosive revelation, the reporters' gazes toward Elara changed completely."Ms. Jones, have you really divorced Harvey? Why would you give up the life of a wealthy wife?""Ms. Jones, why did you divo

On the recorder, the reporter was heard asking Beau, "Why do you think your Mommy participated in the math competition?""She wants to be famous and wants money! She wants to fight Daddy for me and use me to threaten him into giving her more money!" Beau's voice rang out. His innocent and childish voice pierced Elara like a thousand needles, causing her pain. For a moment, Elra was somewhat at a loss. He was her son—her weakness and her armor. He was the boy who once shared her heartbeat. He was, after all, her flesh and blood. As such, he could cause her great pain and easily defeat her just by lifting a finger. The color drained from Elara's face, and her pupils dilated. From the recorder, the reporter could be heard asking again, "Beau, is there anything you'd like to say to netizens?""Don't be fooled by her! She's just a selfish and awful woman! I'm her biological son, so I know what kind of mother she is better than anyone else!"Once Beau's voice faded away, the repor

Under the escort of more than a dozen bodyguards, Elara finally managed to leave the academic building. However, the reporters were like a restless swarm of mosquitoes as they trailed closely behind her."Who are you people?""Who sent you?"The reporters chattered incessantly, shoving microphones toward the expressionless bodyguards' faces.Along the way, many students were drawn to the commotion. They glanced curiously at Elara's direction.The bodyguard who was at the end of the group showed his credentials to the reporters who were persistently harassing them.When the reporters saw the Southshore Security on the badge, they abruptly stopped in their tracks.The bodyguard warned them, "You should know what can and cannot be reported. If you publish something you shouldn't, you will bear the consequences!"The crowd of reporters instantly fell silent. Several quick-thinking cameramen immediately lowered their shoulder-mounted cameras and even covered the lenses. Now that th

Leonard pressed the button next to the door, and the car door was closed once more. The reporters stood outside, and none of them dared to step forward again.After the bodyguards had left, Alex Wick, the reporter from Platinum 818, turned around and made a call immediately. "Hey, Niamh, you didn't say that Fisher guy was protecting Elara! If I've offended him today, then I won't be able to stay in this industry anymore!"Leonard had already left, but Alex was still feeling shaken. Hearing what he had said, Niamh said from the other side of the call, "What? The Fisher guy? Who are you talking about?""Leonard Fisher! He came with some bodyguards and took your sister away.""No way!" she blurted out. "Did you see him pick her up with your own eyes? Harvey and I grew up together, but I had only seen Leonard a few times myself. He's a busy academician at Hawke University, and he was even invited by the government to work on a classified project. How can he possibly…""It really was L

Angie visibly flushed with embarrassment, and the other employees fell silent. Some immediately lowered their heads to focus on their meals, while others held their breath, pressing their lips together to control their expressions."Angie's been abroad too long—she's not used to strict workplace hierarchies," Samuel defended her, raising his voice."Elara, now that you're CEO, you just can't wait for everyone to bow and scrape before you, huh? You might not realize this, but modern workplaces emphasize equality—we all address each other as colleagues now."His mocking tone was unmistakable. As the eldest son of the Quinn family, he clearly didn't take Elara seriously.Elara met his disdainful gaze. "Fine."She continued calmly, "Then let's abolish internal titles at Quantum Tech. All employees will be leveled equally, with salaries determined by performance. Anyone above L4 will be downgraded to L4, so there's true equality across the board. That's the only way to eliminate workpl

When Elara came to her senses, she noticed Leonard was already gone—and Angie had disappeared with him.The nature of Leonard and Angie's relationship was undeniably intriguing, but since Leonard chose not to share, Elara felt it would be improper to pry into her elder's private affairs.She then joined the other Quantum Tech employees in seeing off the city officials. Harold immediately seized the chance to cozy up to her. "Elara, I'm dying to know—how did you become Quantum Tech's leader?"He continued eagerly, "I've been helping out at Quantum Tech recently. Ohm Technologies and my lab are collaborating on a project with them."Elara merely nodded, showing no interest in further conversation.Undeterred, Harold pressed on. "Let me introduce you to everyone at Quantum Tech."His enthusiasm was purely for show—he wanted the company to know he had special connections with Elara."You know Mr. Quinn, right?" he asked, making introductions.Elara glanced at the sharp-featured man

"Elara, you're the developer of the Prism project? Why have I never heard you mention this before?" Harold blurted out in confusion.After processing this information, he suddenly remembered Priscilla's second statement. He blinked, wondering if he'd misheard.He immediately turned to Samuel beside him. "Did I hear that wrong? It's so noisy here—what did Ms. Price just say? Who's Quantum Tech's leader?"Samuel's expression stiffened visibly.Meanwhile, Angie stared at Elara with suspicion. "What kind of deal did you make with Ms. Price? How could you possibly be Quantum Tech's lead?"Her instincts told her there had to be some mistake. She'd investigated Elara earlier. She was just a woman who dropped out of her direct PhD program at Capitol University to get married and become a housewife, without any substantial work experience.Someone like Elara might qualify as a janitor at Quantum Tech at best."What qualifications does she have to lead Quantum Tech?" Samuel muttered under

"My apologies, Ms. Price, the alarms in the data center are too loud. Let's switch to a video call."As she spoke, Elara connected her phone to the projection system. Priscilla tapped her screen to enable video, and in the next second, her face appeared on the large display.Everyone looked up at the screen in surprise. Angie even gasped. "Ms. Price?" From Priscilla's perspective, her phone only showed Elara's face through the camera feed."Ms. Price, I'm already in the data center. Please give your instructions," Elara continued.Her tone remained perfectly neutral. Priscilla responded, "You're Quantum Tech's leader. What professional guidance could I possibly give you?"Elara turned on the speakerphone, amplifying Priscilla's voice through the room. Amidst the urgent wailing of alarms, Priscilla's words sounded almost surreal. The surrounding crowd struggled to process what was happening."Elara Jones, do you realize city officials are inspecting Quantum Tech today? With the

Angie led the group into the digital data center."Good afternoon, Ms. Shelton." The employees greeted her with deep respect, their gazes filled with admiration.Angie maintained an aloof demeanor as she asked, "How's the testing on Prism's data coming along?""The basic framework is stable now. We're currently fine-tuning the details of Prism's database."Angie nodded. "Run the Prism system for our guests.""Uh... About that—"The staff hesitated. "We haven't fully mastered this framework yet..."Angie frowned. "After all this time, you still haven't figured it out?"Seeing their uneasy expressions, she sighed. "This framework's structure is elementary. Fine, I'll do it myself."The researchers' eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this."The Prism model's framework design is incredibly complex—it completely defies conventional understanding. Yet Ms. Shelton mastered the entire codebase so quickly after joining!""No wonder she's Aempleforth Street's most sought-after g

Samuel sneered. "I bet she's just clinging to Prof. Fisher by exploiting her past connection with Harvey."Harold pressed his lips together, silently agreeing with Samuel's words.As Angie finished her introduction of Quantum Tech, she took advantage of the officials' hushed discussions to glance at Elara. Remembering the photos Rosalie had sent her—showing Elara painstakingly building rapport with Xavier—Angie let out a cold, mocking laugh through her nose.She strode directly to Leonard's side to ask, "How's Xavier doing?"Elara was slightly surprised by the question. Angie bore some resemblance to Xavier, so she wondered what exactly their relationship was.Leonard ignored her inquiry and instead asked, "How long do you plan to stay at Quantum Tech?"Their exchange suggested familiarity."My goal is to join Dragonheart!" said Angie.She met Leonard's gaze with blazing confidence, but his expression remained as cold and detached as an eternal glacier.Craig interjected, "Pro

The mayor, Craig Strickland, was both surprised and delighted by Elara's words. "So, Quantum Tech has made such rapid progress on the digital project under Ms. Jones' leadership!"He turned to his secretary and ordered, "Clear my schedule for the next two hours. I'll be accompanying Ms. Jones to inspect Quantum Tech."Elara's voice drifted to Leonard's ear. "Would Mr. Fisher like to join us as well?"Leonard let out a soft scoff. "You do enjoy making trouble for people."Elara volunteered eagerly, "I can push your wheelchair!"Only after she had wheeled Leonard onto the MPV did he speak again. "Do you plan to use me as your shield at Quantum Tech too?""Mr. Fisher, I need you." Her voice, that was soft yet earnes,t sent a ripple of something unnameable through Leonard's chest."I need your guidance. I want you to watch over me a little longer."She settled into the seat beside him as the MPV door slid shut. Leonard's expression tightened imperceptibly, his right index finger re

Harvey was furious. Now under 24-hour surveillance by Leonard's men, he swore to track down the people who had just beaten him the moment he got off this damned mountain."Just you wait!" He mentally added Leonard's so-called security team to his list of grievances. What kind of bodyguards were they when they didn't even protect him?"Mr. Harvey, we answer to Mr. Leonard. Disciplining us would be a direct insult to him."Harvey took a deep breath. "Once I'm off this mountain, I'll make sure my uncle knows you failed at your only job at keeping me safe."The security guard sighed helplessly. "Mr. Harvey, your personal safety isn't our responsibility. Mr. Leonard's orders were clear—we just have to keep an eye on you. We've done our job as long as you don't die."Harvey was utterly speechless.After the brutal beating in the bathhouse, Harvey was even filthier than before. But he refused to go back in to take another bath.What if those thugs barged in again while he was naked, bl

Elara exchanged a glance with Leonard before answering her phone. Priscilla's lazy tone came through, "Ms. Jones, have you forgotten you're Quantum Tech's project leader? I hear you haven't been to the company lately."Her voice carried clear accusations. Elara replied simply, "Ms. Price must be too busy to know I was recently hospitalized.""I heard you've been discharged." Priscilla's voice turned icy.Knowing her impatience, Elara acquiesced, "I'll visit Quantum Tech today."Leaning back against the sofa, her posture relaxed, and she added with a gentle voice, "Let's hope your employees don't disappoint me, Ms. Price."Priscilla countered, "I hope you don't disappoint me either, Ms. Jones."After hanging up, Elara turned to Leonard and asked, "Mr. Fisher, could you accompany me somewhere?"Leonard looked at her. "What do you need?"Elara looked down at the employment contract in her hands, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "As Dragonheart's new director, you should properly
