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

After the lawyer posted the video, he let out a sigh of relief. "Mr. Fisher, I've uploaded Niamh's apology video."He refreshed Niamh's social feed and immediately saw that Harvey was the first to like the post. Harvey turned his phone screen toward Elara, showing her Niamh's post.Without waiting for him to speak, Elara exited the stopwatch app on her phone. She didn't need any further prompting, and she signed her name on the statement of leniency.Handing the document over to the police, she smiled at Harvey and said, "Let's hope she collects 999 likes soon."Harvey was about to say something, but Elara spoke again. "I'm still looking forward to seeing Niamh take the stage at the exhibition race with Vincent and the team. The real show—where you and Niamh will lose all credibility—has yet to begin."He looked down at her with eyes filled with contempt as he scoffed. "So, you know Vincent."His gaze shifted to Lesley, radiating hostility. There was no way Elara could understand

If Harvey had been face-to-face with Niamh at that moment, he would have noticed something was off about her emotions."Mr. Fisher, I've prepared the apology script." The lawyer's voice came through the phone.Harvey glanced at the timer on Elara's phone before giving his next order. "Set up the camera and record her reading the apology."The lawyer positioned a tripod, mounted the phone, and placed the script next to it so Niamh could read it directly while looking into the camera.Niamh nearly bit through her tongue. Elara was pushing her too far!But then, a thought struck her. Once she competed in the International Racing Championship exhibition race, she would become the woman who fulfilled Dawn's last wish in Harvey's eyes. From that moment on, she would be the most irreplaceable woman by his side!As long as she could race, whatever reputation she lost now would be meaningless. The men who had once called her their "brother" would all come crawling back.The metallic tast

Elara pressed the stopwatch on her phone and held up the screen for Harvey to see. The ticking numbers on the timer flashed like bullets, each one piercing through his chest.Once upon a time, this was exactly how he had treated Elara. And now, the once-arrogant and untouchable CEO of Fisher Corp was the one strapped to a ticking time bomb.One of the officers nodded approvingly. "Ms. Jones has made a very reasonable suggestion. Mr. Fisher, please convince Niamh to record an apology video. If she can actually collect 999 likes on her post, it will help us close the case."For the first time in his life, Harvey felt as if he were being burned alive over an open flame. The feeling was unbearably stifling.His expression darkened, but he had no choice under the relentless countdown on Elara's screen. He unwillingly pulled out his phone and dialed the number.Never in his wildest dreams had he thought there would come a day when he would be forced into a corner by Elara Jones. And yet

Harvey was determined to get Elara's signed statement of leniency. But she simply smiled and asked, "Do you really think I'd ever agree to something like that?"Harvey's patience grew thin. "I'm giving you one chance to name your price."He then handed her a blank check.Elara took it as the corners of her lips curved up. "Pass me a pen."If money came knocking on her door, why not take it? Harvey glanced at his lawyer, who immediately handed her a pen.Without hesitation, Elara wrote down a number. She then handed the check back to Harvey. "Sign it first."Harvey's breath hitched the moment he saw the amount."100 million dollars?" His dark eyes were heavy with disbelief, like ink too thick to dissolve.A scornful laugh escaped him. "This is extortion!"Elara immediately turned to the police officers. "You officers saw that, didn't you? Harvey handed me a blank check and asked me to fill it in. Now that I have, he's accusing me of extortion. Isn't this entrapment?"Both offi

Harvey's mocking expression froze on his face.At that moment, Elara had just stepped out of the shower. Her hair was still damp, clinging to her shoulders and neck.The wet strands stuck to her slender collarbone, and the fabric of her clothes darkened where the moisture had seeped through. Her fair skin carried a delicate flush, still warm from the bath.Harvey's gaze lingered on her for a moment. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his breathing tightened involuntarily. The two officers exchanged knowing looks as their gazes shifted toward Harvey.Harvey let out a short, bitter laugh. "Elara, are you doing this on purpose? You think this is the same as me and Niamh?""Mr. Fisher," one of the officers interrupted, "Let go of the collar first. Right now, you're trespassing and causing a disturbance."Elara lowered the mop, and Harvey finally released his grip on Lesley's shirt. She immediately pulled Lesley behind her, shielding her protectively.Lesley's face had gone pale. The momen

Harvey lifted his gaze and double-checked the apartment number. It was correct. This was the place Elara rented with Merida.Standing in front of him was Lesley, dressed in gray plaid pajamas that leaned toward a more androgynous style. She had even thrown on a loose-fitting loungewear jacket over them.She had just been about to start her skincare routine, so her bangs were pushed up with a sports headband, making her look even more like a fresh-faced, youthful young man."Harvey Fisher!" Lesley's expression turned instantly cold.She had never formally met Harvey face-to-face. Five years ago, there had been a few times she spotted him from a distance, but that was it.However, she had done her research. The moment she found out about Elara's divorce, Harvey's photo became her personal dartboard.Harvey's sharp, oppressive gaze swept over Lesley's face. The suffocating pressure he exuded burst out like a wave, filling the narrow space. "Lesley Lupone, is it?"Like a monarch iss

Theodore paced back and forth by the sofa twice before dialing Finnegan's number."Hello?" Finnegan answered in an irritated tone, but before he could say anything more, Theodore's anxious voice shot through the receiver."My dearest brother-in-law, hurry up and take Merida away! Elara finally reunited with an old flame, so no one should disturb them! She has a big race next week, and I only care about her physical condition!"After whatever happens between her and Lesley tonight, she can't afford to fool around anymore!" As he said this, a sharp pain twisted in Theodore's chest.Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Finnegan was in the middle of a workout at the gym. His deep blue quick-dry shirt had darkened with sweat, clinging to his broad chest and sculpted muscles. Beads of moisture dripped from his closely cropped hair, each strand standing on end like a porcupine's quills.Finnegan pressed his lips together, his breath steady but heavy. The damp fabric of his shirt outl

It was Elara who had pulled her up and brought her to Capitol. Compared to Elara, her own abilities seemed mediocre.During Lesley's first year in Capitol, it was Elara who supported her, using her own scholarship money to cover her expenses. When Elara was recruited into the Moonchaser Racing Club, she recommended Lesley to her agent as her navigator.Meanwhile, Vincent and the others had been hired as highly paid international engineers. In the beginning, Lesley had no way of communicating with them. It was Elara who always held her hand and helped her run forward.When they parted ways, Elara had poured most of her money into Lesley, sending her abroad for further studies."When I was 14, Mr. Leonard Fisher brought me to the Capitol. He dressed me in the finest clothes, gave me the most expensive imported stationery, provided me with a car, and let me live in a private apartment."He did all this not to spoil me, but to free me from unnecessary labor and pointless social intera

Lesley remained speechless in the face of Theodore's threat.That night, Elara prepared a full table of home-cooked dishes. When Lesley saw that they were all the foods she used to love, her eyes instantly grew warm with emotion.She sat beside Elara, eating her creamy garlic pork chops while savoring every bite as if she could swallow her own tongue.Lesley devoured her food like a starving tiger, taking huge mouthfuls. When she noticed Merida staring at her in awe, her face turned red with embarrassment."Sorry, Merida."Merida shook her head. "So, it's not just me who thinks Mommy's cooking is amazing! Lesley, eat as much as you want!"Back when Elara lived with the Fishers, Ethel had made her responsible for preparing meals for Harvey and the children. Yet every time she cooked, Harvey and Beau would nitpick and find faults.Beau had grown accustomed to Elara's cooking, but he always acted as if he were eating it begrudgingly."Beau, if you really don't want to eat it, then
