Chapter 45

Author: Full of Luck
At the entrance of the classroom, a dozen bodyguards surrounded Finnegan. Standing at the foot of the steps, Harvey exuded an imposing aura, looking at Finnegan as if he were nothing more than an insignificant ant beneath his feet.

"Bambi, come here. You're coming home with me," Harvey commanded sternly. He had already lost patience when Bambi hesitated and moved toward Finnegan instead.

Bambi shook her head at Harvey. "I want to go home with Uncle Finn."

Harvey let out a cold, dismissive laugh. "And where exactly is he taking you? Does he even have a home? Bambi, if you go with him, you'll be sleeping on the streets!"

"Mommy!" Bambi's voice rang out as Elara appeared.

Bambi waved excitedly upon seeing her mother, but with Harvey's bodyguards blocking the way, she couldn't run to her.

"Mommy!"

Elara's heart ached with guilt. "Mommy got delayed. I'm so sorry, Bambi. I promise this will never happen again."

Bambi, ever understanding, reassured her, "I know, Mommy! You had somethi

    "Theodore!" Elara gasped in alarm.Still nestled in Theodore's arms, Bambi hadn't yet grasped what had happened.Theodore looked down at her with concern. "Are you hurt, Bambi?"She blinked her large, dark eyes and shook her head. Only when she got up did she finally see the metal arrow lodged in Theodore's back.Her pupils trembled, and she drew in a sharp breath. Looking up, she spotted Beau in the distance, instinctively hiding the crossbow behind his back.She recognized that arrow—Niamh had given it to him!Harvey hadn't expected Beau to do something like this either. His expression turned ice-cold, not just because his son had hurt someone, but because of who Theodore had instinctively protected.His hands clenched into fists as he bellowed, "Beau Fisher, get over here!"Beau flinched, visibly shaken. "I just wanted to help you, Daddy! Bambi wouldn't listen!"Bambi's shoulders stiffened. The Beau in front of her now felt like a complete stranger. Harvey snatched the cros

    Theodore sighed dramatically. "By the time an ambulance arrives, I'll have bled out. Mr. Fisher, are you trying to get rid of me?"His condition was serious, and Elara had no patience to argue with Niamh any longer."Get off! Stop wasting time and running your mouth!""If you get into an accident…"Before Niamh could finish, an invisible pressure seemed to envelop her. When she met Elara's gaze, a chill ran down her spine, and she nearly lost her balance despite sitting firmly on the bike.She had never felt such an intimidating, almost chilling presence from Elara before. A sense of unease crept into Niamh's heart."Elara, I'm warning you—don't act recklessly.""You're the one dragging this out, Niamh! That's not like you."Niamh pouted. If Elara wanted to throw her life away, so be it. She wouldn't stop her. She even hoped she'd crash face-first and break her nose and teeth!Reluctantly, Niamh dismounted the bike.Elara then extended her hand. "Give me the keys."Niamh tos

    Beau was so frightened by Harvey's overwhelming presence that his eyes filled with tears.Niamh quickly comforted him. "Beau, you and Bambi are siblings. She'll definitely forgive you!"She glanced at Harvey, and said in a light and teasing tone, "I always thought Theodore looked approachable, but his personality is even colder than yours."Who would've thought he'd risk his life to save someone? That's rare."Drawing out the last syllable, she then added, "By the way, I noticed Elara getting out of Theodore's car earlier. Since when did those two become so close?"Hey! Harvey, wait for me!"Niamh saw Harvey turn and walk away without even acknowledging her words. She quickly chased after him.…At the hospital, Theodore was placed on the operating table.Lying on his stomach, he smirked at the lead surgeon. "You can charge me double for the surgery—I'll make the Fishers cover the bill."The surgeon, who was an old acquaintance, sliced open Theodore's shirt with a scalpel whi

    Bambi stood frozen, her young heart reeling from the shock.Had she done something wrong?If she had obediently gone back to the Fisher family with her father, Theodore wouldn't have been hurt.But the one who had shot an arrow at her was her own brother, someone she had once been so close to. Over time, as their physical differences grew, Beau's attitude toward her had worsened.And she had realized that, within the Fisher family, aside from her mother treating them equally, even her father favored Beau more."Beau! Even if you apologize, I will never forgive you!" Bambi shouted.She turned to Harvey. "Daddy, can I stop being your daughter? What do I have to do to never go back to the Fisher family again?"She longed to break free, but she didn't know how. Harvey's face turned as cold as if it had been sealed under layers of frost."Bambi! Your last name is Fisher! You will always be my daughter! You are a part of the Fisher family!""Then… Then can I change my last name?" Ba

    "Theodore, you—" Niamh was stunned as she exclaimed in disbelief.Her eyes darted around before she smirked. "Are you interested in my sister as a person, or are you more interested in her as Harvey's wife?"Elara and Harvey are still in the process of divorcing—do you think this is the perfect time to enjoy the thrill of an affair without facing too much criticism?"She wore an expression that suggested she had seen right through Theodore.At that moment, the entire hospital room felt like a walk-in freezer. The oppressive aura radiating from Harvey was so intense that even Beau's legs trembled.Theodore's sharp, fox-like eyes turned cold. "Did you crawl out of a history museum? You could conjure up more stories than a medieval tapestry."Niamh stammered, "I—""Funny how some people blurt out their own thoughts as if they're exposing someone else's."Niamh's face stiffened, and she retorted weakly, "You're obviously talking about yourself!""You'd know best, wouldn't you?"

    "I didn't expect Mr. Snapp to be someone who enjoys picking at other men's leftovers."To Harvey, she was nothing more than a meal that had already been eaten—tasteless, yet too much of a waste to throw away.Elara spoke plainly to Theodore, "I don't think the best way to get back at a man is by marrying another one—just to prove some kind of sexual appeal."It's as if I need to show the world that even at 27, I can still attract a man. My worth shouldn't be measured by whether or not a man wants me."She smiled. "If you want to truly get back at someone who's hurt you—whether they're a man or a woman—the best way is to make them watch you rise."She would no longer live in the shadows, tucked away in a mansion, playing the silent role of the woman behind a man. She would stand as his equal.No—she would rise above him. She would reach a place so high that even Harvey Fisher couldn't touch her.Elara snapped out of her thoughts and found Theodore staring at her, his gaze burning

    The next day arrived in a flash. A black heavy-duty motorcycle roared down the street, drawing the attention of pedestrians.Niamh pulled to a stop.Sitting in front of her, dressed in a black denim coat and wearing a matching black helmet, was a small figure.She lifted her visor with a smirk. "Elara, need a hand?"Once again, she had brought Beau to Finnegan's gym. Just as they arrived, she spotted Elara coming down the stairs carrying two large bags of trash.Elara was dressed simply in a beige sweatshirt, with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair was tied back in a casual ponytail, with a few loose strands framing her beautiful face.The small figure in front of Niamh called out in annoyance. "Why are you even talking to her?"It was Beau. Seeing Elara like this made him feel embarrassed.Niamh's eyes gleamed with amusement. She had come specifically to see Elara in a sorry state.Then, she spotted Bambi carrying a box of bottled water down the stairs. The little

    Niamh was wearing a helmet, so no one could see the pale, panicked expression on her face. Fortunately, the motorcycle had barely picked up speed, so she wasn't going too fast.Beau had been thrown forward onto the fuel tank, his helmet slamming against the dashboard."Ugh!" He winced as his chest took the impact, making him cough uncontrollably."Beau! Seriously? Sit properly and hold on tight, got it?" Seeing that Beau wasn't hurt, Niamh let out a sigh of relief.She grabbed the back of his jacket and hoisted him upright, setting him back into position.Beau adjusted his helmet and shouted, "I'm fine!"His voice was loud—he was saying it for Elara and Bambi to hear."Damn it! Who the hell drives like that?" Niamh grumbled as the car that had nearly collided with her came to a stop as well.The driver, gripping the steering wheel, leaned out of the window and yelled, "You were going the wrong way!""Didn't you see I had a kid on board? What the fuck, man!"The driver looked

    Harvey had always done things his way—everyone else had to play by his rules."I want the Black Hole, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie."Elara spoke in Melcinian as she listed the three cars she wanted. These were the most expensive cars in Harvey's garage.The sharp glint in Harvey's eyes turned icy cold in an instant, as if he were trying to see through the helmet covering Elara's face."How do you know I have the La Voiture Noire and the Valkyrie in my garage?"His presence was so overwhelming that most people would have been trembling under his glare. But Elara had lived with him for years—his oppressive aura had long since lost its effect on her."A man capable of building a car like Black Hole must be a true car enthusiast. It wasn't hard to guess that these two high-performance hypercars would be in your collection. Mr. Fisher, are you willing to part with them?"Luna's explanation sounded reasonable—as a professional racer, she could easily ded

    Niamh had been riding motorcycles for years, but for the first time, she truly understood what it meant to be powerless—what it meant to be utterly left in the dust.She and Luna weren't even in the same league. This was a one-sided demolition as Luna had utterly crushed her.Beau had been staring at Luna for so long that he only just now noticed Niamh lagging behind. He crossed his arms and puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction."Niamh is so slow! She's crawling like a turtle!"Harvey sat in his chair, still wearing his thick racing suit. The front was unzipped to reveal his solid, heaving chest as he caught his breath.His deep, knowing gaze remained locked on Luna. No one had ever held his attention like this before. Maybe this was the allure of extreme sports—the kind of thrill that made it impossible to look away.Elara had finished her third lap first, pulling up at the finish line before flashing Theodore a quick signal. Theodore immediately gestured to the event staff.

    So much for the so-called number one female racer in Eucon—Luna was nothing special after all.Tonight, Niamh was determined to defeat Luna. Tomorrow, she would be the one making headlines!The first turn was approaching fast.Then, a sleek black motorcycle shot past Niamh with ease, leaving her in the dust.Niamh was stunned. How had Luna overtaken her in an instant?She cranked the throttle, pushing her bike to its limit in an attempt to catch up. But with each sharp turn, the gap between them only widened!"Holy shit! Luna didn't even slow down for the corners!""Unreal! This is her first time on this track—she didn't even warm up!""That's the skill of Eucon's top female racer! She's absolutely terrifying!"Niamh gritted her teeth so hard she thought they might crack. There was no way she could catch up to Elara on her own.She needed help.Just then, a plastic water bottle suddenly came flying through the air from the spectator stands, landing directly on the track.Ev

    Beau's voice barely registered in the chaos, but Niamh scoffed dismissively. Harvey didn't take his son's words seriously either.Beau stared at Luna's back, blinking in disbelief. This had to be a mistake! Confusing Luna with his attention-seeking mother? That was an insult to Luna!As soon as Niamh announced her challenge, a group of young elites crowded around Luna, each eager to offer their own bike."Luna, ride mine!""Luna, take my bike!"Elara recognized every single one of them. If she removed her helmet, their enthusiasm would evaporate in an instant.These guys were a part of Niamh's closest circle. When Elara returned to the Jones family at 18, they had all been openly hostile toward her.Later, they should have at least shown her some basic respect for his sake when she married Harvey. But Harvey's attitude toward her had set the tone—if he didn't care, neither did they.Niamh then rolled out her prized motorcycle, her fingers tightening around the handlebars. Watch

    Beau, who was raised under the careful guidance of the Fisher family, had seen plenty of powerful figures and grand occasions. Yet, as he stood by Corona's door to greet Luna, his heart pounded with nervous excitement.However, the person inside the car remained silent."Luna?" Beau called out as he stood on tiptoe, craning his neck curiously to peek inside.Niamh stepped out of her car and immediately felt a sense of crisis upon seeing both father and son standing by Corona's door.She strode over. "Luna, right? I've heard so much about you. I also ride heavy motorcycles. How about a one-on-one race? Let's see what you've got."Harvey had lost to Luna, so Niamh wanted to win back some dignity for him. She knew Luna was a professional race car driver, and she had heard that Luna also rode motorcycles.Yet in Niamh's mind, Luna's skills on a bike couldn't possibly be at a professional level.Plus, considering how much stamina Luna had burned during the off-road tournament, Niamh

    When Corona crossed the finish line, Elara remained in a daze.Her hands still gripped the steering wheel, and she struggled to process what had just happened for a moment."Luna! You won!"Elara turned her head in a daze. Her gaze landed on Theodore, who had removed his helmet.His sharp, fox-like eyes gleamed with a triumphant light, and his smile was dazzling like scattered stars.He reached out, gently removing Elara's helmet. As he lifted it away, her dark, silky hair cascaded down like a waterfall.Elara tried to steady her breathing, her chest rising and falling from the intensity of the race. She looked up, meeting Theodore's gaze—his jewel-toned eyes reflected only her."Luna, welcome back!" She was a treasure in Theodore's eyes."You've always been the champion in my heart!" His tone was firm and unwavering.He was still high from the adrenaline rush, and his chest heaving. Even the temperature in the car was steadily rising.Elara studied him seriously and asked, "

    Theodore mentally mapped out the entire off-road track once again. A smirk played at the corners of his lips, and there was a flash of amusement in his eyes."The road ahead is clear. Luna, floor it!"Corona, still racing at full speed in complete darkness without headlights, surged forward. Elara trusted Theodore completely, and at last, they broke through the blackness and caught sight of the light.The roaring engines grew louder as the race cars approached. Spectators at the finish line craned their necks, anticipation thick in the air.After entering the blackout zone, the large screen behind the grandstands had also gone dark. It left everyone in suspense—no one knew which car would be the first to emerge from the darkness and hit the final stretch.Beau stood on the railing. His tiny frame was bracing against the cold wind as his wide eyes fixed on the distance.Suddenly, a sleek black race car burst into view. The massive screen flickered back to life, and the crowd erupt

    "Full throttle, left turn."Right three. Downhill coming up, ease off the gas!" Theodore said.Elara had tried to memorize as much of the off-road course as possible through the route book, but there was no time to think at this speed.At this moment, Theodore was her brain.His commands were sharp and precise. Mount Clockwork's complex terrain had unfolded like a 3D model in his mind.Like a grandmaster surveying the chessboard, he guided Elara through every twist and turn."Harvey! Go for it!" Niamh noticed Harvey picking up speed and shouted in excitement.She had long forgotten where she had thrown the co-driver's route book. At this point, she was just along for the ride.Harvey didn't need a co-driver anyway. He only trusted his own judgment.He had personally helped design and plan the Mount Clockwork racecourse, so he knew every treacherous turn better than anyone.Black Hole raced alongside the other competitors in the second pack, while Corona had already left them

    Niamh was sitting inside Harvey's car. A smug smirk curled on her lips as she watched two race cars close in on Corona.Among these wealthy young racers, tactics were just as important as speed. With so many competitors vying for victory, some cars had to be sacrificed to clear the way.However, Elara's sharp gaze remained calm inside her heavy helmet, completely devoid of tension or fear.With a swift shift of the gear, she sent Corona tilting. Its right-side wheels were lifted off the ground!Theodore felt his entire view tilt upward in an instant. His eyes widened, and his heart pounded violently against his chest.She was skiing!Corona's right front and rear wheels had completely left the ground, and the entire car was now charging forward at a 45-degree tilt, as if on the verge of flipping over.The driver of the car that had been trying to box Corona in suddenly felt a shadow loom over him.His co-driver turned his head—and was met with the horrifying sight of a massive,
