"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

Elara Jones was carrying her daughter as she rushed to the hotel. At this moment, her son's fifth birthday party had already begun.Meanwhile, Harvey Fisher stood beside their son as the warm glow of the candles illuminated the child's tender face.Beau Fisher clasped his hands together and made a wish. "I wish Ms. Niamh could be my new mom."Elara was shivering from the cold as it was raining heavily outside. She had gotten herself soaked trying to keep her daughter and the birthday cake dry.Her clothes clung to her body like a thin layer of ice, wrapping her in cold discomfort.Niamh Jones burst into hearty laughter. "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me Ms. Niamh! Call me Niamh! Your dad and I are more like brothers, so I can only be your second dad or something."Her laughter echoed through the private room. The guests, who were all Niamh's close buddies, joined in the laughter. Only Niamh would dare to tease Harvey this way in front of so many people.Beau b

Niamh turned to Harvey and made a playful face. "Elara misunderstood us again. I'll go explain everything to her.""There's nothing to explain. She's just too sensitive."Harvey's expression remained indifferent as his gaze shifted to the half-eaten birthday cake Elara had left behind. His brows were knit.With Harvey's final word on the matter, the tension in the room eased. Elara storming out wasn't a big deal anyway.The others chimed in agreement. "Elara's just upset. Harvey can calm her down when he gets home.""Exactly. There's no way she'd actually divorce Harvey. Everyone knows Elara almost gave her life to have his kids.""Who knows, she might already regret walking out the door!""Come on, let's eat the cake! By the time Harvey gets home, Elara will probably be standing at the door like a loyal wife waiting for her husband!"Harvey's brows relaxed as he imagined Elara timidly standing by the door, cautiously trying to please him.Meanwhile, Beau savored the cake Niam

Harvey's suggestion to have Scotch eggs was, in truth, a ploy to get Mary to contact Elara. He thought he was already offering her a way back into the fold."Mrs. Fisher said she isn't coming back," said Mary.Harvey choked on his coffee, unable to suppress a coughing fit.Mary sensed something was amiss. "Did you and Mrs. Fisher have an argument, Mr. Fisher?""Mind your own business!" Harvey's sharp tone chilled the air in the dining room.Mary shrank back, not daring to say another word while Harvey tightened his grip on the mug in his hand.How could Elara possibly not come back? By now, she should already be preparing the homemade lunch she always sent to his office.Whenever Elara upset him in the past, she would personally deliver lunch to the office as a reconciliation gesture.…Bambi sat at the dining table, and her eyes lit up when she saw the breakfast. "Wow! Chicken noodle soup!"Bambi loved chicken noodle soup, but Beau would gag at the sight of it. At the Fisher

Harvey had already hung up on the other end of the line.Elara got back into her car, pressed the accelerator, and sped out of the parking space. She didn't notice the black sports car trailing her like a shadow.…The scenery on both sides of the road blurred into streaks as the car raced past. The silver Volvo streaked across the asphalt like lightning.Elara's dark eyes fixed firmly on the road ahead. It had been a long time since she had driven this fast. The rush of adrenaline surged in sync with the speedometer needle climbing to its peak.She overtook three flashy sports cars in quick succession, leaving their drivers shouting in surprise."Whoa! Who the hell was that?"Someone in another car instructed while speaking through a Bluetooth earpiece, "Get me the details on that license plate."The modified sports cars were left far behind one at a time. Elara didn't ease off the accelerator even on the winding curves of the mountain road.The group of young thrill-seekers

Meanwhile, Niamh stepped off her modified motorcycle while carrying a paper bag. The security guard stared wide-eyed at the woman in skintight yoga pants.Niamh casually tossed her loose hair over her shoulder. She then greeted the guard with a carefree smile, and entered the kindergarten.She already knew which class Beau was in, and she walked over with a grin upon spotting Bridget."Hi there, I brought more wax bottle candies for Beau. I heard the ones he brought were a big hit with the other kids."Bridget eyed Niamh critically. "So, you're the one who allowed Beau to bring those candies to school?"Niamh's face lit up with excitement. "Yes! These wax bottle candies were made by a friend of mine using premium beeswax…""So, it was you who nearly caused my son to choke to death!"The furious shout exploded behind Niamh. A resounding slap landed squarely across her face as she turned, leaving her seeing stars."Why the hell are you hitting me?" Niamh yelled."It's because yo

Elara's mind went blank. It was as if a tidal wave had crashed over her, tearing at her body and fueling a storm of anger and humiliation.Her expression remained calm as she reached out and picked up the necklace, while Niamh's eyes lit up with a mocking gleam.Harvey leaned against the sofa, and looked away. He was convinced that Elara was like a dog—neglected one moment but wagging her tail the next the moment he beckoned her.Elara hooked a finger under the necklace around Niamh's neck, pulling it forward. She then held the two necklaces side by side."Niamh, the mother-of-pearl on your necklace is of much better quality. How about we trade?"She didn't call out the fake necklace directly as Niamh would have no shortage of excuses to dodge responsibility. Elara wanted Niamh to silently swallow the loss.The delicate chain tightened against the back of Niamh's neck, and she froze awkwardly. Her earlier anticipation of Elara foolishly wearing the fake necklace out in public and

Elara handed Harvey the pen.Niamh widened her eyes at that moment, unable to hide the glimmer of hope shining within them. When she saw Harvey sign the divorce agreement, a secret sense of triumph lit up her face."Elara, you're being so dramatic! I'd wake up laughing in the middle of the night if I had a husband like Harvey!"Elara shot Niamh a faintly mocking glance. "Do you hear how desperate you sound?"Harvey tossed the signed divorce papers at Elara. "You can throw your tantrum, but don't vent your frustrations at Niamh."Uninterested in arguing further, Harvey lowered his voice and spoke to Bambi. "If you ever want to come home, you can always call Daddy."Bambi tilted her head up and looked at Harvey. She didn't say a word and only tightened her grip on Elara's hand.His gaze toward Elara was cold and indifferent. "Bambi is my daughter, so she's welcome to come back anytime, but you… It won't be so easy for you to return."Harvey seemed like a god perched high above as

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

Mary was baffled by Harvey's question. "Sir, you were on a business trip."Now it was Harvey's turn to be stunned. A cold, grim expression settled on his face as he asked, "Who told you I was on a business trip?"The question made Mary feel an indescribable sense of unease. "Huh? I was told you were away on business these past few days."Harvey finally understood. This had to be an excuse Leonard came up with for him.During the seven days he was imprisoned, no one in the Fisher family had noticed he was missing. Everyone thought he was away on a business trip.Harvey entered the study.He pulled up the surveillance footage from the Fisher residence's main gate and saw that late last night, Hugo Turner, one of his drivers, had helped him out of a car.Mary and other staff had come out to greet him, but none of them noticed anything unusual about Harvey's condition.He questioned Hugo, who said he had received a call from Harvey and picked him up from the Golden Lion Club at 11:

"Harvey has a fever," said the bodyguard, Aiden Calhoun."Did you give him medicine?" Elara's voice was indifferent.Aiden replied, "He refused to take it. When we tried to force-feed him, he bit my colleague's hand."He added, "He's demanding to see you."Aside from the second day after Harvey was locked up, when Elara had brought him food, she hadn't gone to see the man since. Elara realized that beating him didn't bring her any satisfaction.Back when she watched Priscilla trample over Harold in front of her, she had wondered, "Does hitting someone really feel that good?"It must have felt amazing, given how much Abel idolized violence. But after trying it on Harvey, Elara found it utterly dull.She couldn't derive any pleasure or satisfaction from trampling or bullying others. Even though Harvey was now a prisoner, she couldn't be bothered to spare him a glance.In fact, she found the stench emanating from him repulsive.Aiden told her, "These past few days, he hasn't eate

A housewife with such ambition—it was unexpected.By allying with Theodore and publicly announcing their relationship, Elara aimed to use Theodore's enterprises to completely swallow up Jones Group.Now, as acting CEO, Elara would undoubtedly accelerate the acquisition process for Joss Tech. It wouldn't be long before she held the official signing ceremony for the acquisition.Thinking this, Priscilla curled her lips into a smile. No prey she set her sights on had ever escaped her grasp.She hadn't initially paid much attention to the minor matter of acquiring Joss Tech, but then she encountered Elara, this unorthodox housewife.Since Elara insisted on pushing forward with the acquisition deal with Snapp Group, Priscilla wouldn't hold back! Priscilla chuckled softly and picked up her phone to call Elara.Hearing Elara's voice on the line, Priscilla spoke, "Elara, I've decided to suspend our collaboration on the new tech project."Elara's voice came through, "Ms. Price, what do y

Niamh pointed at Elara, her voice urgent and frantic. "Dad! All of this was orchestrated by Elara to ruin us!"Niamh's face was swollen to the point of resembling a pig's head. When she spoke, her words were slurred and barely intelligible.Her words struck a chord in Abel, making his heart skip a beat. Abel folded the belt in half and swung it at Niamh's nose."Don't you dare try to drive a wedge between me and Elara!"Niamh was stunned. She couldn't understand why Abel had suddenly taken Elara's side."Dad, I'm the one who grew up by your side! What kind of bond could you possibly have with Elara? You never even wanted to bring her back into the family in the first place!""Shut the hell up!"Abel was furious. His reputation was in tatters, while Elara's influence was rising rapidly. He still needed to rely on her in the future, so how could he allow Niamh to sow discord between them right in front of him?Abel shouted, "Get me some duct tape!"A pale hand handed him a roll

Niamh noticed Abel's breathing grow heavier, and she felt a slight sense of relief. It was as if she could see a glimmer of hope for turning the situation around.Finally, it would be Elara's turn to have her teeth knocked out by Abel!Abel deleted the video related to Elara from Niamh's phone album. He took a deep breath, then raised his hand and slapped Niamh again.The slap came with a whistling sound, landing hard on Niamh's face. The cotton ball in Niamh's mouth flew out, mixed with thick blood, and splattered onto the floor."Niamh Jones! You're just asking for it! You ruined me, and now you're trying to ruin Elara too."I think you want to destroy the entire Jones family! I should just beat you to death!"Abel's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets."I didn't!" Niamh screamed as she spat out blood, the metallic taste of rust filling her mouth.Even so, her explanations were futile. She was just wondering why Abel wouldn't believe her?Abel threw

Abel roared at Niamh, "Look at Elara! She's the only one who's genuinely working for my company!"Elara added, "But the video exposed at the banquet today has already spread throughout the upper echelons of Capitol's elite circles."She sighed softly and turned to Niamh. "Niamh, you're quite close with those wealthy heirs in our social circle. Go check if they're discussing what happened to our family."A chill ran down Niamh's spine. She had a vague feeling that Elara was setting her up.Abel urged Niamh, "Show me your phone."Niamh's cheeks were so swollen she could barely close her mouth. She shook her head at Abel, sensing that Elara was laying another trap for her.In the next second, Niamh was slapped again by Abel. Her already swollen cheeks now showed streaks of bright red, the skin stretched thin by the swelling beneath.Abel stood over her, looking down as he commanded, "Don't make me repeat myself!"Under Abel's pressure, Niamh had no choice but to hand over her phon
