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

Elara said respectfully to Leonard, "I'll move with Merida next month, and I've already arranged a place for her to study. The final results for the ALI Math Competition will be announced next week, and I'm confident we can get into the top three. As for my job…"She paused for a moment and looked up, and her eyelashes fluttered slightly like a butterfly. "Can I…" She looked into Leonard's eyes and couldn't bring herself to say the words. Then, she picked up her courage and asked him, "Can I work at Dragonheart?"Her voice felt like a pebble falling into a river, causing ripples in the peaceful water. After hearing her question, Leonard glanced at her with his sharp gaze.Elara had an idea about his job. Leonard had a huge responsibility as he was the man in charge of Dragonheart Research Center, one of the top ten research centers in Eucon. It was so important that its location wasn't even shown on any maps.Elara looked determined as she continued to recommend herself. "Our count

Finnegan was on the top floor of a five-star hotel somewhere, and he had just come out of the gym. So, his body was still sweating profoundly. Even though he had already taken a shower, he was still exuding a lot of heat.Meanwhile, his assistant, Jackie Warner, had been waiting for him for hours. Since Finnegan was usually friendly, Jackie teased him with a smile, "Mr. Lloyd, I can't believe your sister is actually Mrs. Fisher of the great Fisher Corp! Why haven't you mentioned it before?"Finnegan's expression turned cold slightly as he asked, "Why did you learn that?"Jackie showed him an article online. "Here! See? Your sister is trending online again."#ElaraJonesAbusesSon!"#ElaraJonesExHusbandisHarveyFisher!"#ElaraJonesFeedsSonLikeAPig!"All the trending headlines on top were talking about Elara negatively, and Finnegan tapped into one of the interview recordings. However, before he could even finish listening to it, he almost destroyed the phone by clenching it too hard

Harvey was busy with his work all the time, and he seldom talked to Beau. So, he didn't know if Elara really had bullied Beau at all. However, he did hear about Elara feeding Beau pig's food from Ethel before. After all, Ethel had complained about Elara's food before and said it was disgusting.According to Ethal, the food Elara prepared made everyone laugh when it was served, and it was a horrible sight. To the people in the upper class, the food from Elara's village was really like pig's food.Meanwhile, Cyrus lamented on the other side of the call, "Mr. Fisher, your name has finally been cleared. Now, most people on the internet are siding with you!"Harvey couldn't care less about the discussions online. "If there are any more incidents with Elara or discussions about her online in the future, you don't have to tell me about it again."Since they had already gotten a divorce, he didn't care about her life anymore!"What?" Cyrus suddenly exclaimed, and he felt extremely surpris

Ethel's face became distorted, and Elara could see it clearly on the phone."What are you doing, Elara?" Ethel wanted to go through the video call and grab Elara's hand badly. She was staring at her screen with her eyes so wide that it felt like they were about to fall out at any moment."What evidence could you possibly have on me? There's no way I would fall for your tricks!"Then, Elara said to her, "Madam Foster, you'll find out if I'm lying to you in seven business days. By the way, the evidence I'm posting now will only make you lose the official achievements you've obtained. If you offend me again, then I'll make sure you lose your glorious life!"Hearing the warnings, Ethel thought Elara was just trying to provoke her. "Haha! Go ahead and report it! I want to see just how capable you really are. It's not like you'll be able to destroy my whole world anyway."To Ethel, Elara was just a village bumpkin who had never seen the outside world and had no idea just how powerful Et

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
