There had been countless times when he fell, and Elara would always rush over to pick him up without hesitation. Now, as Beau turned and was expecting to see her, his crying came to an abrupt stop when he realized the person behind him was Niamh.Niamh wiped the tears from his face. "Beau, don't be sad. I'll take you for a ride on my bike. We don't need to care about those people!"Beau sniffled and nodded. "Niamh, you treat me the best."Niamh grinned. "Of course! I'm your second dad! If I don't treat you well, who will? Let's go!"She took Beau's hand and led him to the parking lot, where she placed a helmet on his head before starting her motorcycle. The powerful machine, like a steel beast, roared to life.Just as they were about to exit the parking lot, a group of police officers appeared, heading straight for Niamh. Recognizing her by her racing suit, one of them immediately pulled out his badge."Niamh Jones! Stop the vehicle!"However, Niamh slammed the throttle down to

Harvey didn't look at Theodore. Instead, his proud gaze fell directly on Elara. "I'll cover Corona's repair costs."To him, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a real problem.Elara looked at him and asked, "She's taken a five-year-old child on a heavy motorcycle multiple times. Have you never been concerned about that?"The man frowned. "And in what capacity are you questioning me about my son?"Elara let out a cold laugh.Harvey continued, "Beau ran off after you scolded him, and the only one who went after him to comfort him was Niamh. I trust her driving skills."His tone grew even more indifferent as he added, "But as for you, whenever something happens, you have to escalate it to the highest level."You'd call the police and make it seem like the whole world owes you something. Is that the only way you'll feel joy?"Just as Elara was about to respond, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her like an invisible force crashing into her body. Her limbs tensed into spasm

Benjamin picked up his phone again. There was a playful smirk tugging at his lips."Dad, the Jones family's reputation is safe. Your daughter won the race, and everyone here is chanting her name."Abel immediately asked, "Didn't you just say Niamh finished dead last?"Benjamin's smirk widened. "It was your other daughter who took first place.""What are you talking about? What other daughter?" Abel blurted out.Benjamin blinked lazily. "Elara."Abel scoffed in disbelief. "Elara? She doesn't even know how to race! You must be mistaken!"Benjamin shrugged innocently. "It's true. Eucon's number-one female racer, Luna, is Elara.""What? Luna is my daughter?"Of course, Abel knew who Luna was—who didn't?When Luna placed in the top ten of an international racing event, she shattered national records. After all, the racing industry in their country had started late, and there had been almost no female racers.Every time Luna competed, she made history. Even though Abel had never p

The moment Ethel saw the critical condition notice, her mouth fell open, and her pupils contracted sharply. Her entire body went rigid as she stiffened and collapsed backward.The driver who came with her quickly caught her.Harvey strode forward and took the critical condition notice from the traffic officer's hand."How did it get this serious?" he asked.Upon hearing this question, the traffic officer felt a surge of displeasure. It seemed that Harvey had already known that Niamh was riding a motorcycle with a five-year-old child. He was merely shocked that his son had been injured so severely.The traffic officer sternly questioned him, "Niamh was speeding at 62 miles per hour. Your son is only five years old. As his father, why didn't you fulfill your responsibility as his guardian?""Harvey!"Niamh hobbled over on her crutches. She had even put on a few bandages on her face.Crying, she said, "Harvey, you have to sue the traffic police! It's all their fault! They suddenly

Abel's hands were restrained, but he raised his leg and delivered a vicious kick to Niamh's shoulder.Niamh fell to the ground with a shout. This time, the pain engulfed her entire body. The pain was like ant bites spreading across her body. It also felt like she was being electrocuted, making her wish she was dead.Abel took a deep breath. Belt in hand, he pointed at Niamh and said to Harvey, "Don't worry, Harvey. I will never tolerate this disgraceful wretch! If Beau's hand is injured, you can cut hers off! If his leg is injured, you can cut off her leg!"When Abel found out that Beau had gotten into an accident while riding Niamh's motorcycle, it felt like the sky had fallen. Rather than waiting for Harvey to retaliate against the Jones family due to his son, Abel decided to act first by beating Niamh so thoroughly that Harvey would have nothing left to say.The police officers were speechless. They wondered where these lawless lunatics came from."We live in a society govern

When Ethel heard the noise, she quickly turned her head.Merida also let go of Harvey's tie. She hurried over, only to see several nurses pushing a mobile hospital bed out of the operating room.Merida's steps came to an abrupt halt, and her entire body froze in place. Her dark round eyes stared at Beau, who was on the bed. His eyes were closed as if he was asleep, and most of his face was obscured by an oxygen mask. His head, arms, and legs were wrapped in layers of bandages. She could barely recognize him. It was the first time she had ever seen Beau like this. A huge wave of panic surged through her. It was as if an invisible hand was clamped over her mouth, leaving her small body trembling uncontrollably.Quite a few tubes were attached to Beau's body, and a nurse was holding up an IV bag. At that moment, Elara didn't have the strength to look away. It was as if a hot poker had pierced her heart, burning her blood into rising wisps of white smoke. All her vitality and ho

"This is a sterile ward, kiddo. You can't go inside."Merida asked the nurse, "When will Beau wake up?"The nurse comforted her in a gentle voice. "I think it will be very soon."Elara walked over and saw Merida squatting in the corner of the ICU hallway. She was holding watercolor pens and drawing something on a piece of paper.She watched as Merida stuck the paper, which had a drawing of some flowers on it, on the ICU door. Merida then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, wearing an expression of deep sincerity. Elara felt a swell of emotion."I hope Beau wakes up. Only then can he apologize to Mommy."Elara stroked her daughter's face. She didn't care whether Beau apologized to her or not, but he had once been the person closest to Merida.They were twins and were once inseparable. This was Merida's first time facing a seriously injured Beau. With death being so close to her loved one, it was enough to make her fearful for a long time.Elara knelt on the ground

If Elara was still married to Harvey, she would have reminded the Fisher family to pay attention to public relations. However, everything that had happened today was all Harvey's doing. Even if Fisher Corp faced a massive shock, it had nothing to do with her.Elara stood at the ICU entrance. She looked at Beau, who was lying in bed, through the glass. He was surrounded by medical equipment and covered by a snow white blanket. He would be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.In her ears, she could still hear the sound of Beau crying loudly in the hospital when he was two or three years old. He was clinging to her waist, his tiny body buried in her embrace. Back then, she was still his entire world. Abel approached Elara, and she glanced coldly at the blood-stained belt in his hands."The executives from Ohm Technologies have already contacted me. They want you to represent Joss Tech and discuss the acquisition deal with them."Abel stared at Elara's face. He then let out a c

Elara, standing on the stage, was also stunned. Meanwhile, Rosalie's eyes widened in shock. She raised a trembling hand to touch her face.When she felt the swelling on her cheek, it was as if thousands of needles, finer than hair, were piercing her skin, threatening to tear it apart.Only then did Rosalie realize—she had been slapped!"Why did you hit me?" Rosalie screamed.Priscilla smiled, the corners of her eyes lifting as her long lashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly about to take flight."Not only will I hit you, but I'll also drill a hole in your head to clear out the sewage coming out of your mouth!"Priscilla stood at nearly 5'8", and with her six-inch-tall heels, Rosalie looked like a dwarf next to her.She raised her hand, pointing at Rosalie's head. But fearing another slap, Rosalie quickly covered her head with her hands."Don't think that just because you don't say it outright, no one knows what filthy thoughts are in your head! Throwing shade is easy, b

Elara looked at Rosalie, fully aware of the scheme she was plotting. Their eyes met, and the air between them crackled with tension, as if sparks were about to ignite.Back in the Fisher family, Rosalie had never been kind to Elara. In the past, Elara had deliberately avoided her for the sake of family harmony. Yet even now, Rosalie was still targeting her.A soft chuckle escaped Elara's throat. Prejudice was like an insurmountable mountain in people's hearts, and the wealthier they were, the more they feared outsiders.Rosalie, like Harvey, looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. From the moment Elara married into the Fisher family, Rosalie had been waiting for the day she would be kicked out."Elara, you'd better hurry and talk to the school administration. If you're too late and the program list is finalized, you won't be able to add Merida's name." Rosalie's lips curled into a smile as she said this, but it didn't reach her eyes.Suddenly, as if remembering something,

Some parents remained seated, staying out of the argument. They quietly edited the videos they had just recorded and uploaded them online."If Merida doesn't want to quit, then let her embarrass herself on stage.""The audience's eyes are sharp! If she drags my daughter's performance down, I'll make sure she's drowned in online criticism!"The seated parents whispered among themselves."Mommy," Merida called out softly to Elara, who took her chubby little hand in hers.Merida bit her lower lip as her other hand rested on her chest, fingers lightly clutching the crystal decorations on her costume. Her eyes were misty, and the corners glistened with unshed tears."I… I'll just quit!"Merida had made up her mind. When she put on the costume, many of the other children had secretly laughed at her.She asked why they were laughing, and they told her it was because she was fat.She didn't think she was fat—she thought she was just fine. But when she made mistakes on stage, she began

The busy tone echoed in Priscilla's ears, and her expression visibly cracked. She turned her head, staring at her phone in disbelief.Did Elara just hang up on her? How could that be? No one had ever dared to hang up on her before.Priscilla refused to believe it. Maybe Elara had accidentally declined the call. There was no way Elara would actually do such a thing!She dialed Elara's number again, this time putting the call on speakerphone. Everyone in the room turned their attention to Priscilla's phone while holding their breath.But as the seconds ticked by, the call remained unanswered. Priscilla's hand that was holding the phone began to tremble slightly.The atmosphere in the room grew tense, and an awkward silence spread among the onlookers."The number you have dialed is not answering. Please try again later." The emotionless automated voice rang out from Priscilla's phone.Someone spoke up, "Ms. Jones might be busy right now.""Ms. Price, let me reach out to Ms. Jones.

The dance teacher, Darcie Roman, had spoken to Elara a few days earlier. Elara had gotten her number from Bridget and called to discuss Merida's situation.She had explicitly asked Darcie not to body-shame the children, but the response over the phone had been dismissive and perfunctory.Afterward, Elara reached out to Tilly, who was assisting with the dance performance. Hearing Tilly praise Merida's performance had eased half of Elara's worries.But now, Merida hung her head upon hearing Darcie's words, knowing she was at fault. Her chubby fingers clutched at Elara's clothes. Elara glanced at her daughter and felt her heart aching for her."Ms. Roman, this stage accident happened because the floorboards are old and cracked. This stage has been in use for over 20 years. Look at these holes in the wood—it's clear the boards are infested with termites."The priority now is to repair the stage floor to prevent similar accidents from happening again."Before Elara could finish, Darci

Shirley's mother, naturally aware of the situation, added, "The teacher originally planned to find an older boy from the elementary school to help."But even if they chose a second-grade boy, mastering the lift while maintaining grace would take a lot of practice. Just keeping the boy's arms steady and firm would require significant effort.Shirley's mother, Tilly Greene, smiled and said, "In the end, your daughter couldn't stand it anymore. She said she and the other kids often practiced this move, and she could lift Paisley and spin her multiple times without getting tired."Elara's lips curved into a smile. Tilly had once been the lead dancer of the Capitol Ballet Troupe.The school's dance teacher, though also a professional dancer, paled in comparison to Tilly's achievements in the industry. So, when Class 1B was rehearsing their dance, the teacher often invited Tilly to provide guidance.Elara asked, "Was it your decision to let Merida handle the lift?"After all, such move

Priscilla propped herself up and sat upright. The muscular man lying beside her handed her a robe, which she draped over her shoulders.The man holding the phone kept it pressed to her ear. Her caramel-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her striking beauty radiated an effortless charm even without makeup."Impossible! Wasn't her framework supposed to be the optimal solution based on our initial calculations?""Elara's work… It's too advanced. With eight thousand GPUs running simultaneously, we don't even know which stage to adjust. The junk data we've generated has already maxed out the memory."Figuring out which parts to clear to keep the framework running will require a massive amount of manpower and resources to sift through."Priscilla exhaled impatiently. "Speak plainly!"The voice on the phone continued, "We can't handle the framework Elara provided. If we activate the fail-safe mechanism by 10:00 am and switch to the backup framework, we'll lose an estimated 100 mi

Elara raised her hand and lightly tapped Rosalie's cheek. The gesture instantly silenced Rosalie."Why you!" Rosalie's temper flared."Rosalie, why is the perfume you're wearing attracting so many bugs? Ugh! There are black flies all over your hair!"Elara pretended to brush at Rosalie's head. "There are so many bugs crawling on you! How terrifying!"Hearing this, Rosalie immediately felt her scalp itch. She began patting her own hair and asked Paisley, "Are there bugs in my hair?"Paisley nodded earnestly. "Yes!"She also didn't want to hear Rosalie criticize Merida anymore."Ahhh! Let's go, let's go!" Rosalie screamed, grabbing Paisley's hand and dragging her toward their car.Elara held out her hand to her daughter. "Let's go."Merida said gloomily, "When the teacher gave me the costume, she told me I needed to lose weight."Elara took her daughter's soft, chubby hand in hers. "Remember when I took you to the gym to check your body fat? Your body fat is actually on the low

Whenever Merida was upset, she would twist her backpack straps into knots."Mommy!" she called out.She walked toward Elara as her two slightly loose and crooked pigtails swayed with each step. When she saw Elara, a spark lit up in her eyes, and her round rosy cheeks lifted her previously drooping mouth into a smile.She broke into a little run toward Elara, one of her pigtails completely coming undone. Elara crouched down, pulling the hair band that had slipped to the end of Merida's hair and carefully redoing her pigtails."Did you have P.E. today?" Elara asked, puzzled.She was sure Merida didn't have P.E. scheduled for the day, so why was her hair such a mess?"We were rehearsing for the talent show this afternoon." As she said this, Merida's cheeks puffed out slightly, and the brightness in her eyes dimmed."Elara!" A woman's voice called out from a distance.Elara looked up to see Rosalie walking over while holding Paisley's hand. Whenever this woman showed up, Elara knew
