Chapter 51

Author: Full of Luck
"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

    Elara had fastened her long hair into a loose updo with a hairclip, letting a few strands fall naturally around her face, giving off an effortless elegance.Dressed in a cashmere long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, she carried a leather document folder in one hand and a phone in the other.Harvey rarely took her to formal events, so much so that at this moment, he couldn't even recall what Elara looked like in an evening gown.When she saw him, she didn't acknowledge his presence. Instead, she walked straight up the courthouse steps, knowing they were heading to the same place anyway.Harvey followed behind her, his deep voice cutting through the air."You could ask me for a favor. I could issue a statement to the commission to unfreeze your assets faster."He knew her predicament yet still positioned himself above her, offering help like it was a privilege she had to earn.That 60 million meant nothing to Harvey. But for Elara, it was the key to buying a home. Stil

    Elara smiled, looking calm and unbothered. "Mr. Fisher, don't tell me you don't actually want to divorce me?"Harvey let out a cold scoff. "It would be much more annoying if you kept clinging to me afterward."Elara mimicked his tone, just as dismissive. "You're overthinking things."The court clerk handed them their divorce certificates. Elara glanced at the photo on hers, where she was smiling brightly. She curled her lips in satisfaction.Harvey took his without even looking at it and immediately stood up."Mr. Fisher, wait a moment." Elara stopped him, and he paused mid-step.With one hand in his pocket, he turned back with a smirk. "Already regretting it?""You need to sign one more thing," she said matter-of-factly. "Bambi is taking my last name."His smirk vanished in an instant.Elara walked out of the reception room and saw that Finnegan sat with Bambi in the lobby. The moment he saw Harvey, he nearly lost control of his expression.Just yesterday, Harvey had bought

    "Let's all congratulate this man! He's now free from his shackles, and celebrating his new single life—happy divorce!"Niamh led the group in holding up a massive banner that read "Congratulations on Your Divorce, Harvey Fisher!" while confetti cannons fired off and air horns blared."Mommy, what is Aunt Niamh doing?" Merida asked, thoroughly confused.Elara squeezed her daughter's hand and sighed. "She's making a fool of herself… And dragging Mr. Harvey down with her."Elara took a detour around the crowd to avoid the spectacle. Meanwhile, Niamh smirked triumphantly as she watched Elara slink away.Harvey forced himself to approach her. "What the hell are you doing?"Niamh stood on her tiptoes to throw an arm around his shoulders. "Dude, I'm throwing you a divorce party!"Harvey pulled away, looking somewhat disgusted. "Keep your voice down. Do you think this is something to be proud of?"But Niamh wasn't fazed. If anything, she looked downright delighted now that Harvey and E

    That white dress had been the best outfit Elara could wear out at the time.Niamh called out cheerfully, "Hey, sweetheart, come over and have a drink with us."The woman looked terrified, and she was frantically shaking her head. "I-I don't drink."A sneer pressed against the back of Niamh's throat. She glanced at the men in the room and asked, "So, this is your type, huh? All innocent and harmless? Even I feel like taking pity on her.""This little white rabbit is definitely appealing!""If Harvey's interested, we won't compete with him for her."Niamh's grin widened. "Don't be scared, sweetheart. Sit next to me. I won't bully you."The woman slightly lowered her guard upon hearing that and hesitantly walked toward Niamh.Niamh shoved a glass of liquor into her hand. "Come on, give Mr. Fisher a toast."Then, pushing against the woman's back, she forcefully guided her in front of Harvey. The woman then looked at the man's cold and distant profile.She called out trembling as

    As soon as Niamh finished speaking, Wendy flinched like a startled bird. Her entire body was now trembling.Niamh was very pleased with her reaction. So, she simply turned and left.About ten minutes later, Wendy staggered out of the restroom, hunched over in pain. She was barely able to stand straight, and she looked like a walking corpse.Theodore stood outside, dressed in a crisp suit with an unreadable expression.Wendy handed him the memory card clutched in her palm."She didn't recognize me." Despite her bruised and swollen face, Wendy grinned. "I'm counting on you. I want her to rot in hell! I want justice for Dawn!"Theodore took the memory card, his fingers turning it over indifferently before he turned to leave.Wendy called out to him. "I just want to know, Mr. Snapp, why are you suddenly willing to help me seek justice? No matter how much I begged before, you didn't even look at this case."Theodore idly toyed with the tiny memory card between his fingers. "Because

    Niamh flinched at the icy aura radiating from Harvey. She could see the murderous expression on his face."What happened? Did Elara say something to upset you again?"Harvey clenched his jaw and spat out two words through gritted teeth. "Theodore! Snapp!"Niamh was just as stunned."Hmm?" In the dead of night, Theodore's mocking laughter nearly burst Harvey's eardrums."You're in Elara's room?" Harvey's voice dropped several octaves.Niamh's jaw fell open in shock, unable to utter a single word."We just got divorced this morning, and you're already spending the night with her at a hotel?"At this moment, Harvey was like an enraged lion.Theodore, on the other hand, spoke in an unhurried, relaxed tone. "Elara is staying in a hotel under my name. It's late—I couldn't possibly allow my guest to be disturbed. Besides…"He paused deliberately. "Does getting divorced mean she's supposed to mourn you for a couple of years first?"The sneer on Harvey's handsome face grew even colde

    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,
