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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Theodore smirked, and the doctor on the phone asked him, "Should we report this to the police?""Do you want the whole world to know I had urological surgery?"The doctor on the other end let out a mischievous laugh. "Your medical records were stolen by a hacker. It won't be long before the elites of the Capitol know about Mr. Theodore Snapp's… performance issues!"The man's long, clean fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel. He glanced at the rearview mirror, where the Maybach was reflected."Proceed with today's follow-up as scheduled."The voice on the phone sounded concerned. "Aren't you worried…"Theodore stepped on the gas and turned the car around. "This is called 'luring the snake out of its hole.'"Watching Theodore drive away, Harvey got out of his car.The man was dressed in an expensive black suit. His face was cold and his deep eyes were like a dark pool on a winter night, unfathomable and mysterious.Harvey pressed the elevator button. The doors opened, and

Many in the business world believed Theodore wasn't the type to blindly throw money at a woman. His high-profile announcement of a relationship with Elara must have had ulterior motives.Elara met Theodore's gaze, seeing her own reflection in his eyes. She could even hear her heart pounding violently.The skin on her chest seemed to vibrate with each beat, her blood surging so intensely she feared her racing heart would give her away!She instinctively leaned back, pressing herself against the car window to create as much distance from Theodore as possible.Theodore noticed her reaction, and a fleeting sense of loss flashed in his eyes. "Sorry."He took a step back, putting a clear distance between them. Even though they both knew this intimacy was just an act for others, their body's instinctive reactions couldn't deceive each other.A fine layer of sweat formed above Elara's lips. "I'm fine…"Theodore probably thought she was uncomfortable with his sudden closeness, but in rea

Harvey was stunned! He stood frozen in front of the urology department for a few seconds before turning and walking away.Once he got into his car, he contacted a hacker to infiltrate the hospital's urology department's system and retrieve Theodore's medical records.Since it was a private hospital with strong confidentiality measures, the hacker could only access Theodore's records from that day.When Harvey opened the file the hacker sent him, his eyes widened in shock. A few seconds later, Harvey laughed. There was a disdainful snort escaping his throat.Theodore Snapp… was actually impotent!…A few days later, a silver supercar pulled into the underground parking lot of the commercial building where Joss Tech was located.Elara had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Theodore, who was driving, got out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door.The tall, impeccably dressed man in an expensive suit stood outside the door, exuding a charm th

Harvey called Mary. "Do you know what shoe size Elara usually wears?""Huh?" Mary held her phone and looked out the window, half-expecting to see a comet crashing into Earth.This was truly unprecedented—Harvey Fisher was actually asking about Elara Jones' shoe size. But why would he want to know?Relying on a vague memory, Mary gave Harvey Elara's shoe size. Harvey then relayed the size to the sales associate.The sales associate smiled. "Are you buying these for your girlfriend?"Harvey paused. "Why would you think it's for a girlfriend?"The sales associate's cheeks flushed red under the man's gaze. "It must be a new girlfriend, right? You don't even know her shoe size."It felt like a wad of paper had been stuffed into Harvey's throat, making it hard to breathe. He had been married to Elara for seven years, yet he couldn't even remember her birthday.In truth, if he wanted to find out, he could easily access all of Elara's information. But he had never bothered.It seemed

Niamh pouted and reluctantly took off the high heels, tossing them onto the floor."See? I took them off!"Harvey lowered his long, thick lashes, his gaze fixed on the red-soled high heels on the ground."Throw them in the trash!"Niamh was shocked. "But I just bought these heels!"The man's dark eyes gleamed like those of a dangerous beast as he warned Niamh, "From now on, no one is allowed to wear this type of high heel in front of me!""You don't like these heels?" Niamh muttered. "Is it because Elara wore them?"In her mind, Niamh was practically screaming. How had she stepped right into Harvey's minefield?She must have been too engrossed in that video of Harvey, mistakenly thinking he enjoyed being stepped on by Elara in high heels!But on second thought, how could Harvey possibly like that plain Jane, Elara?When Elara stepped on him, he must have felt disgusted and repulsed!Niamh softened her tone. "If you make me throw these heels away, what am I supposed to wear b

"Oh my! Oh my god!" The young men in the private room erupted into exaggerated cheers and laughter."Pigs must be flying—Niamh Jones is wearing high heels! This is too funny! Hahahaha!""Niamh! Did you lose your mind? Why on earth would you strap on stilts and go out like that?"Niamh pulled down the black mask covering her face. She had applied heavy makeup, hoping her still-swollen face would look somewhat presentable under the dim lighting."You guys always say I have no femininity. Well, today I'm going to show you what real femininity looks like!""Oh my goodness!"The wealthy young heirs in the room doubled over with laughter, some even wiping tears from their eyes."Niamh! Come on, take a few steps for us!""Everyone, pay attention! Niamh's showing off her newly installed legs! Hahahaha!" These young heirs treated Niamh as nothing more than a joke.The fact that Niamh could still appear by Harvey's side after the Riverfront Avenue car accident proved that, in Harvey's e

"I saw that woman enter another building. I figured she was meeting a friend or something."Who would've thought the elevator would break down shortly after I got in? I was stuck in there with those bodyguards all night…"Ethel covered her face as she recounted her harrowing experience to her son. When the elevator doors finally opened, Ethel took a step forward and immediately wet herself. It was a scene she never wanted to relive.After returning to the Fisher family, Ethel fired all the bodyguards who had been trapped in the elevator with her. She couldn't bear to see them without being reminded of her humiliating ordeal at Spring Garden.Mary brought over the freshly made chicken noodle soup. Harvey took a bite and frowned."Did you follow Elara's recipe?" Harvey asked.Mary quickly nodded. "Yes, we followed Ms. Jones' instructions precisely—not an ounce more, not an ounce less."But even though the Fisher family's cook strictly adhered to Elara's notes, the chicken noodle s

Ethel was also a bit surprised. Normally, Harvey wouldn't even deign to say Elara's name."Harvey, have you seen Elara recently?"Harvey's expression stiffened slightly, a cold detachment settling over his handsome face. Even in front of his mother, he remained aloof."No."Ethel also thought it was impossible for her son to have any further involvement with Elara."She's actually benefited from this mess—she's now the acting CEO of Joss Tech!"Ethel's tone was dripping with sarcasm. She didn't think much of Elara becoming the acting CEO."She couldn't even manage our household properly, and now she's running a company? Ha!" Ethel couldn't help but laugh.She didn't notice Harvey's frown."Anyway, Joss Tech is going to be sold. Let her play CEO for a few days and get it out of her system."The malice Ethel directed toward Elara was palpable, making Harvey feel slightly uncomfortable."Mom, did you go to Spring Garden recently…" Harvey almost asked if she had gone to Spring G

This further proved that his disappearance and reappearance were entirely orchestrated by Leonard.Harvey walked into the dining room. As he looked at the familiar breakfast spread, he suddenly felt as if an eternity had passed."Harvey, you're back," Ethel said as she walked in, having not seen her son in a while."Mom," Harvey greeted her with a neutral tone.Ethel sat down and joined him for the meal. Harvey then picked up his fork, and in front of him was his usual Melcinian-style breakfast.However, he had no appetite. He tried taking a bite of the sandwich, but all he could think about was the bowl of soup Elara had brought him."Make me a bowl of chicken noodle soup," Harvey instructed Mary."What?" Mary hesitated. "That'll take at least half an hour…"Mary glanced at Ethel, who asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to eat that? Soup isn't filling. Melcinian food is much more nutritious than Euconian food!"Harvey said to Mary, "Go make it."Mary nodded. "Alrigh
