Elara had cut off Harvey's call, and everyone in the meeting room went dead silent! Harvey sat there coldly, wondering when she was going to stop throwing a tantrum and making things difficult for him. He suppressed the raging emotions that were stirring behind his cold dark eyes before calling her again.This time, an automated voice greeted him instead. "The number you're calling is unreachable at the moment. Please try again later."Elara had blocked him again! Harvey took a deep breath and suddenly looked up at the shareholders who were looking back at him. "Let me call her instead," said Leonard, and everyone turned their gaze to him.Leonard took out his phone and made the call before putting it on speaker. As the shareholders listened to the dial tone, they instinctively held their breaths.Soon, the call was answered. "Prof. Fisher, did you know I won the competition?" Elara was on cloud nine when she spoke on the other side of the call. Harvey was stunned when he heard tha

At first, the kids thought it was interesting. However, they were tired of hearing it after a few days. Since last week, Beau kept saying that Luna would visit his house soon. However, he was still waiting for her to arrive. So, the other kids stopped taking him seriously.Seeing how some kids were walking toward Merida, Beau hurriedly said, "Those who team up with Merida will have to stay back to tidy up the field and clean the gym room!" Hearing that, none of the kids dared to approach Merida anymore.The P.E. teacher, Jonathan Walker, had always gone with Beau's wishes. He even made Beau a committee of the P.E. association. So, Beau would have to be in charge of tidying up the gym equipment after they were done with their class. When Jonathan noticed Shirley was the only one on Merida's team, he said, "We're playing volleyball, so get into groups of five! You two, split up and find a team to join."After he arranged the two girls into another team, Shirley reluctantly joined he

Some of the kids on the same team as Beau placed their hands on the ground to support their weight. Some of them were sticking out their tongues as they tried to catch their breaths. Meanwhile, some of them were sitting on the ground and looking up at the sky."Beau, we can't even get up now! How are we going to compete?"Beau stood at the side and watched as Jonathan gave Merida a flower. Since Jonathan brought five flowers as an award, Merida received all five flowers for being in a team by herself. Seeing that, Beau was incredibly upset. He pointed at her and ordered, "Hey, the person who won the game! You're in charge of tidying up the place!""Why?" Shirely thought it was unfair for Merida.Paisley asked as well, "Why should she be the one tidying up the place when she's the victor?"So, Beau said, "Everyone else has run out of strength after she defeated them. Look at how she's not sweating at all! If she's not tidying up, who else is going to do it?""Well, you look like y

One of the parents said to Elara, "Ms. Jones, we really want to thank you for getting rid of Mr. Osborne. Now that the dean is taking over as the principal and has made a lot of changes, I think our children will do exceedingly well. Everything will be fair and square!"Elara said humbly, "I shouldn't take the credit. If James Osborne didn't cause a scene that day, he still would've failed if he'd insisted on expelling Merida."The parents and teachers were really grateful for Elara as they had been putting up with James for a long time."Elara!" Rosalie called out while holding Paisley's hand and walking to Elara with a smile. Harold was walking behind Rosalie.Rosalie had pale makeup on, and her eyebrows looked thin. She was wearing a thick fur coat and holding an Hérmes handbag. She also had a pendant that cost more than five million dollars to go with her coat. Previously, she even took it out to show it off to Elara back at the Fisher residence.Meanwhile, Harold was just dre

Elara got up and said, "Yes, I am."The teacher introduced herself, "I'm the head teacher of class 2A, Ms. Notch."Before Katie Notch could finish speaking, Rosalie exclaimed, "Elara! Did your daughter beat up the kids in class 2A as well?"Hearing that, the parents of the kids from class 2A hurriedly pulled their children behind them. Katie hurriedly waved her hands and said, "That's not it! Today, Merida defeated the masked villain during our safety drill and protected everyone in the class. So, we've given her a huge flower as a special award.""Look, Mommy!" Merida showed off the flower she received to Elara.Meanwhile, Rosalie was stunned when she heard what Katie said. Then, Elara said, "I don't think I heard anyone talking about a safety drill today.""That's right!" said Rosalie. She thought it was ridiculous for Merida to suddenly receive such a huge flower.Then, Katie explained, "It's an activity for the younger students, and Merida was selfless and brave today! So, w

At that moment, Harold was flattering Elara like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Elara just looked at him silently, wondering what he was trying to do.Seeing how she wasn't reacting at all, he lamented solemnly, "Considering our country's environment, it's hard to have true talent! No one understands it better than a person like me. I had to do my best just to achieve greatness after leaving my old town."Elara, I'm only saying this because I can see your potential. If you want to get into research and development, you should go overseas. After all, our country is falling too far behind other countries. You can only achieve true freedom by going overseas!"Hearing that, Elara just said, "I only want to provide for my family now."Hearing how she didn't have any ambitions, Harold smiled, thinking how she was just book-smart. He figured she would never make it big in the real working world as she was just a housewife at the end of the day.So, he suggested, "If you want to find a job,

"Daddy!" Beau ran toward Harvey excitedly with his backpack on his back. Since it was rare for Harvey to come to pick him up, Beau was really happy.The mothers who saw Harvey were so stunned that they couldn't even walk anymore.Cyrus approached Elara and said respectfully, "Please get in, Ms. Jones."She rejected the offer and said, "There's no need for that. Medina and I can just take a taxi to the restaurant." She didn't want to be in a confined space with Harvey.Cyrus tried to put in a few good words for Harvey. "Mr. Fisher is here just to pick you and Ms. Merida up today."Elara ignored him and just took out her phone, planning to book herself a ride. So, Cyrus returned to the Mayback and reported back to Harvey.A short while later, Elara's phone started ringing, and she thought it was the driver of the ride she had booked. So, she answered it and heard Harvey's cold voice."I've told all the rides to avoid this area. If you want to walk to the restaurant with Merida, I'

Niamh was overfilled with joy. When she let go of Beau, she noticed there was a watermark on her shirt. So, she asked, "Huh? Did you drink some water earlier?"Beau shook his head and said, "No. I was throwing up just now."Niamh was speechless when she heard that, and her face fell drastically. She hurriedly grabbed some napkins to wipe her shirt, but it just made the stains even worse. Gritting her teeth as hard as possible, Niamh subtly pushed Beau and said, "Take a seat, Beau."She was instinctively holding her breath because she could smell the pungent stench coming from her shirt!Meanwhile, Abel was sitting next to Niamh. Seeing how much Beau loved his younger daughter, he nodded in satisfaction. He wasn't that worried about Elara's divorce from Harvey. As long as one of his daughters could capture Beau and Harvey's hearts, then the Jones family could still rely on the Fishers.When Merida saw her grandparents and Niamh, she stood there with a serious look.Then, Elara ask

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
