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

Ethel pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear."Apologies, Madam Foster, but I've received notice from my superiors that they have decided not to grant you the Women's Day Award for the time being."Ethel's heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "Did someone report me?"Could Elara really have incriminating evidence against her? Thoughts raced through Ethel's mind. Elara had spent seven years lying low in the Fisher family. Had she been secretly working as a spy?"Madam Foster, your son has already been taken away by the police, and the entirety of the Internet is calling you a wicked mother-in-law. Given the public opinion, we at the Women's Advocacy have no choice but to distance ourselves from you.""Mrs. Harrison…"Before Ethel could finish her sentence, Sabrina Harrison had already hung up.She tried calling back, but before she could, another incoming call appeared on her phone screen. It was from the staff at the Red Cross Foundation. She had a bad feelin

A few days later, Elara, Finnegan, and Lesley gathered at the top-floor office of Summit Business Plaza.This area was part of Capitol's newly developed district. One could see the vast docks and the open sea in the distance when they stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 66th floor. Large cargo ships moved slowly across the horizon.Finnegan had tossed his suit jacket over the back of the couch. He wore only a well-tailored dress shirt without a tie. His collar was casually unbuttoned, revealing bronzed skin and a sharply defined collarbone.His sleeves were rolled up, exposing strong, well-defined forearms that exuded strength. His legs were spread slightly apart as he sat comfortably."Zenith Tech, which I own, has already entered the competition to acquire Joss Tech. However, even if Zenith Tech offers a higher bid than Ohm Technologies, Abel might not choose Zenith Tech. It's very difficult to have Abel abandon Ohm Technologies and sell Joss Tech to the company you supp

"Theodore, do you like me?" Elara's question was direct and bold.Theodore's earlobes instantly turned red. He propped both hands on the coffee table and lowered his head. His long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly.However, the laughter he couldn't suppress had already spilled from his throat."Yeah, I like you," he replied. He looked directly at Elara as he said that.His eyes were as bright as the stars. Elara subconsciously held her breath, not wanting to miss the brilliant light in his eyes.Theodore's gaze softened as he looked at her. At that moment, the whole world fell silent."Do you know when I first found myself drawn to you?"Elara tilted her head in thought. "Was it when I took first place in every competition as Luna?"Theodore smiled. "It was when you stood on the podium at Capitol University, full of confidence; When you sped across the racetrack at full throttle; When you ran headlong into love without hesitation; When you juggled your life between school a

As Theodore spoke, his hands tightened slightly, and a faint tremor ran through his heart. A wave of warmth spread from his chest, filling him with uncertainty.Had he been too abrupt? Would Elara think he was crazy? Lowering his head, he waited patiently for her response, placing his fate entirely in her hands."If we were in a relationship, we might actually be able to lure Abel in," Elara said seriously. "Our partnership will end the day I take over Joss Tech. When that happens, we'll announce our breakup, and you'll no longer be my boyfriend."Meeting her clear, luminous gaze, Theodore felt his throat grow dry. "Then let me be your boyfriend for one month."Elara extended her hand toward him. "The kind of love you speak of, the kind that asks for nothing in return, is something I've never experienced."But I'm willing to try, to feel it, and to openly accept your affection. It's because I am, by nature, worthy of being loved by you."A smile curved her lips as she waited fo

Theodore turned to Lesley and added, "You've been promoted too, No. 4."Finnegan felt the veins in his temples throbbing. His expression darkened, looking as if he might explode at any moment.Elara stood up, preparing to leave, and casually asked, "Why are you giving my brother and Lesley nicknames?"Theodore followed beside her as they walked out. "If my dear girlfriend doesn't like it, I won't call them that."Of course, this wasn't just a nickname—it was a ranking. He'd just call them that in secret.After Elara and Theodore left, Lesley finally spoke. "Mr. Snapp is being unusually eager. Don't you feel like something's off about this?"Finnegan let out a cold scoff. "Did you see how sly his grin looked?"He picked up the bidding project proposal from the coffee table. "Right now, the only person who can help Elara gain Abel's trust and is still somewhat reliable for us—is Theodore."After a moment of careful thought, Lesley nodded in agreement.…Elara and Theodore sat i

The soft morning light cast a golden hue as a custom Mercedes-Maybach S-Class glided to a stop in front of the commercial tower housing Joss Tech. Like a sleek black panther, the luxury vehicle exuded an air of dominance.The door opened, and a long, impeccably tailored leg stepped out first. The person's polished leather shoes landed smoothly on the pristine marble pavement.He turned, reaching out as Elara prepared to step down."Here, honey," he teased, already fully immersed in the role.Elara smiled and placed her hand in his, letting him guide her down with effortless grace.Together, they strode into the towering building, accompanied by a formidable team—Zenith Tech's acquisition leads, along with specialists in auditing, finance, and taxation. The entourage moved in a commanding formation.At the forefront, Elara and Theodore led the way. The head of Zenith Tech's acquisition team found himself sneaking a few glances at them.Elara's black suit was immaculately tailored

However, when Theodore looked at her, his deep, starlit eyes held no one else—only her.As the elevator doors slid open again, Elara stepped out and strode toward the conference room. Without breaking her pace, she issued a sharp command to the Zenith Tech team trailing behind her. "I want every senior executive in the conference room in three minutes!"The team dispersed instantly. They moved swiftly, rounding up executives from different offices, even dragging some along when necessary."Who are you people?""Let go of me! If you don't, I'm calling the police!"Several executives protested as their faces flushed red with frustration. But their resistance was futile. As they were herded into the conference room, their gazes landed on Elara, who was already seated at the head of the long oval table.She was slender, and her features were delicate and refined, yet the aura she exuded from that seat was enough to silence the entire room.Every executive recognized her. Some of the

Niamh's voice reached Harvey's ears.Bound and restrained, his cold, piercing eyes were locked onto the television screen. He knew Niamh was referring to Elara.What kind of dirt had she dug up on her?The only truly outrageous thing Elara had done—something that could bring catastrophic consequences to the Jones family—was imprisoning him here. But how could Niamh possibly know about that?Harvey felt a nerve in his brain throbbing violently.No! Niamh couldn't expose the fact that he was being held captive!In the next second, Harvey's pupils dilated in shock. The large screen lit up, displaying explicit footage.It was Abel's face which turned dark, almost purple with rage."Ahhh!" Daphne instinctively raised her hands but forgot to cover her mouth, letting out a piercing scream.The other members of the Jones family, as well as the shareholders, gasped in unison. Everyone in the room looked horrified, and some even wore expressions of fear.Niamh stood on the stage, takin

Niamh clicked on Elara's Instagram profile, only to find that the video Elara had previously posted in her stories was gone. She looked up, her eyes dark and venomous as they locked onto Elara.Did Elara really think deleting the video would erase the fact that she had provoked her? Niamh had already saved the video of Elara and Harvey!Seeing the faint smile curling at the corner of Elara's lips, Niamh became even more convinced that Elara had posted that story specifically for her to see.Elara was just furious that Harvey had signed a settlement agreement, leaving Beau still hospitalized while Niamh didn't have to pay a single cent in compensation.That's why, after refollowing Niamh, Elara had deliberately posted a story visible only to her, as a warning. Elara probably thought Niamh still had feelings for Harvey and would never spread the video, fearing it would damage Harvey's reputation.But Niamh was determined to show Elara that she had plenty of ways to fight back!Afte

After steadying her breath, Niamh strode confidently toward Elara. Since her release from detention, she had visited a hair salon to dye her hair a chestnut brown and style it into loose, bouncy curls tied into a sleek ponytail that swayed as she walked.She had also treated herself to a facial at a beauty salon, knowing she wouldn't have the courage to face so many people otherwise.Dressed in a tailored men's suit and polished black leather shoes, Niamh felt she looked effortlessly cool. However, to many of the older executives and shareholders present, her outfit seemed awkward and out of place."Congratulations, Elara, on finding your second match so quickly." Niamh approached, her gaze lingering on Theodore as she suppressed the envy and bitterness in her eyes."Mr. Snapp, I'm curious—how did you end up with my sister?"She wore an innocent, gossip-loving expression, but Theodore responded with a cold, dismissive glance."Impressive," he remarked dryly.Niamh grinned, her e

Abel wanted to seize the opportunity to impress the reporters, showcasing his eloquence and demeanor. However, Faye felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment."We've already done our research on Joss Tech," she said politely.Abel chuckled. "Then let me test your knowledge!"The overwhelming "dad energy" emanating from him made Faye instinctively hold her breath."Lara, why didn't you tell us earlier that you invited the media to film this?" Daphne exclaimed, her hands covering her flushed cheeks.The sight of so many professional cameras and photographers was like a shot of adrenaline to her, making her heart race.Many of the executives on the scene quickly adjusted their ties and suits, transforming into their most polished selves under the gaze of the cameras.Faye addressed the crowd, "My team and I are here to gather material for a feature report on Ms. Jones. Please act naturally and carry on with your conversations as usual. There's no need to pay too much attention to the

Niamh cast a teasing glance at Abel and said, "Dad, you really didn't need to make Elara bring Mr. Snapp. Aren't you just setting her up for failure?"When Niamh first heard that Theodore had become Elara's boyfriend, she thought it was either a joke from Abel or a lie concocted by Elara herself.After all, Theodore Snapp was the dream man and ideal partner for countless wealthy heiresses—the pinnacle of eligible bachelors. Even if Elara had won the lottery, there was no way she could ever catch Theodore's eye.Niamh knew Theodore had exceptionally high standards. Unlike other unmarried heirs from wealthy families, he had never been involved in any scandals since he was a teen.There was even a period when rumors circulated in their social circle that Theodore Snapp was rooting for the other team. However, it didn't take long for those rumor-mongers to receive cease-and-desist letters from his lawyers.So, when Abel claimed that Elara and Theodore were together, Niamh's first reac

Harvey glanced at the monitors surrounding him and shouted toward the voice receiver nearby, "Once I finish this bowl of soup, you'll let my mother go, right?"After he spoke, he waited for a long time, but there was no response from Elara.Harvey slowly bent down, his back arching as he lowered his head closer to the bowl of soup. He knew how undignified his posture must look, but he tried not to think about the humiliation of being recorded in high definition by the cameras.He then stuck out his tongue and tasted the soup. As he swallowed the bits of noodles, his mind began to lose control.He practically buried half his face in the plastic bowl, and the soup was nearly gone within moments. At this point, was there any difference between him and Beau, who had once fought with stray cats over scraps of food?Harvey buried his face in the plastic container, not wanting to lift it. He had been starved all day, and Elara had been merciless.The small amount of soup was enough to k

Harvey's shocked gaze slowly went to the bowl of chicken noodle soup on the floor. If he wanted to eat it, he would have to bend down to do so. It wouldn't make him much different than a dog.He was livid. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger. "You're doing this on purpose, Elara! Do you hate me that much?"He was like an agitated caged beast that rammed against its cage. The steel lock and chains clanged loudly. However, he suddenly fell silent the next second. He saw Elara smiling at him. That smile was like a night bloom."You had Abel shove Niamh into Joss Tech as my assistant. Since you disgust me that much, why can't I disgust you in return?"Upon hearing this, Harvey let out a cold laugh. She was taking revenge on him, but what right did she have to do so?"You killed Dawn!"The moment these words left his mouth, it was as if he had uttered a curse upon himself. Elara didn't argue with him. She couldn't be bothered to deal with his crazy words.She opened the d

In a certain room, the glow of the TV illuminated Harvey's face. He would never have imagined that he would be locked in a room in such a humiliating position to watch a news broadcast.The TV showed the time, so he knew he had been locked in here for a day and a night. Because he went without food or water for so long, his physical needs were minimal. However, he had sweated earlier and also soiled his pants. He could feel that his whole body stank.Never in his recollection had he ever worn the same suit until the next day. Even if he was pulling an all-nighter at the company, he would spend at least ten minutes showering and changing into clean clothes.He recalled the year Dawn died, there were a few times when he drank himself into unconsciousness. When he lay on the couch, Elara would remove his tie, change his socks, and wipe his face with a warm towel.She would even carry him to bed. Once he woke up the next morning, he would find himself in clean pajamas, feeling refres

Elara posted a clip of her stepping on Harvey. This particular clip, when viewed in isolation, easily made people's minds wander.In the video, she and Harvey each occupied half of the frame. His hands were suspended, but the handcuffs weren't shown. This made others think that he was sitting on the floor voluntarily, allowing Elara to trample on his body.Elara had also deliberately removed the audio, forcing the viewer to focus entirely on the side of Harvey's face and the spot where she had stepped on him. It was easiest for people to imagine intimate sounds in a silent video.His eyes were dazed, and his mouth was open. The kind of noises he would make were up for imagination.Niamh sent over a message she had prepared long in advance. "Elara, I didn't want to appear before you, but Harvey insisted on forcing me into Joss Tech. You know how I am—I'm used to being free and unrestrained. Now that I'm your assistant, you have to take good care of me!"After sending the message,
