Chapter 58

Author: Full of Luck
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 let out a cold, dismissive snort. He felt surprisingly light when he got out of bed today. After taking a shower, he walked out of the bathroom in a bathrobe.As soon as he looked up, he saw Niamh leaning against the sliding door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. She stretched lazily like a cat, just enough to reveal the defined lines of her toned waist."Harvey, you're up early."Harvey was stunned. The towel he had been using to dry his hair slipped from his fingers and fell to the floor. He didn't even bother changing his wet slippers before striding into Elara's bedroom.He yanked the blanket off the bed, then turned his head, scanning the room as if convinced Elara was hiding somewhere.With a sharp flick, he pulled open the wardrobe. Inside, rows of high-end custom-made outfits hung neatly.When Elara left the Fisher family with Merida, she only took one suitcase. Most of the clothes inside weren't even hers but the ones she had bought for Merida.Everyone in the Fisher fam

    The kids in Beau's class were all envious of him.…Meanwhile, at Sunny Side Diner, Merida was devouring a stack of fluffy pancakes. She then picked up her glass and gulped down her orange juice.She ate with such enthusiasm that a nearby elementary schooler, wearing a bright red hoodie, grabbed another bite of his syrup-drenched toast and stuffed it into his mouth.Seeing that Merida had finished her breakfast, Elara handed her a wet wipe. "Come on, let's head to school."The brightness in Merida's eyes dimmed instantly at the mention of school. Elara, who was always sharp, immediately sensed the change in her daughter's mood."What's wrong?""Mommy, I don't really like school anymore."Elara asked, "Did something happen?"Merida shook her head. Lately, she just noticed that other kids didn't like playing with her as much. But she didn't want to worry Elara by telling her."It's nothing! Even though I don't like school that much anymore, I still have my good friends there. B

    Beau kept a straight face and issued a stern warning to his group of friends. "None of you are allowed to play with Bambi!"The kids lined up in perfect formation and saluted him in unison. "Yes, sir!"Elara noticed Merida's expression shift as she looked toward the school gate."Merida?" she called softly.Merida tightened her grip on the straps of her backpack, forcing her voice to sound lighthearted as she said, "Mommy, I'm going to school now! Bye-bye!"She then spotted her usual playmate and ran over excitedly. "Shirley!"Shirley Moore glanced at her, then quickly looked away and sped up her pace.Merida caught up to her, eager to share the news. "Shirley, guess what? I changed my name! I'm not Bambi anymore—I'm Merida Jones now! I took my mom's last name.""Don't talk to me." Shirley veered to the side, putting distance between them.Merida stopped in her tracks, completely stunned. "Shirley, what's wrong?"Shirley hesitated for a moment before lowering her voice. "Beau

    "You ungrateful brat! Put me down!" Beau screamed.Merida was furious, and she shouted back, "What did you just call me?"Beau yelled at the top of his lungs, "Grandma said our family wasted all that effort raising you! We're not siblings anymore!"You and that pretentious, fake woman are just sewer rats! We don't want to share a classroom with a rat!"Behind him, his little followers pinched their noses dramatically."Bambi! Let go of Mr. Beau!""Bambi smells so bad! She's gross!""My mom told me not to talk to Bambi anymore. She doesn't belong in our class!"Merida gritted her teeth and raised her other hand. Realizing she was about to hit him, Beau panicked and shouted to his friends. "Help me!"Yet, not a single one dared to step forward.Niamh leaned casually against her motorcycle while holding up her phone, recording every second of Merida lifting Beau effortlessly.She saw Merida raise her hand, about to strike Beau, and a grin spread across her face."Do it! Hit hi

    Merida lowered her head, gripping the hem of her shirt with both hands. She didn't think she had done anything wrong, but her impulsiveness had caused trouble for Elara.Elara placed a reassuring hand on Merida's shoulder, standing as her invisible shield. "My daughter did not hit anyone.""She did!" Beau shouted, waving his arms wildly and pointing at Merida. "Bambi hit me! You're a terrible woman! A biased hypocrite! You must be blind if you didn't see her hit me!"Elara's voice was firm. "I demand to review the surveillance footage at the school gate. It's the students who slander and falsely accuse others that should be punished!"Her gaze toward Beau held the cold detachment one would have for a stranger.James spread his hands with a casual shrug. "The cameras are broken. Beau has been awarded All-Around Star for three consecutive years. He's Summit Academy's best student—I believe him."James then turned to the parents gathered around. "Did any of you see Merida hit Beau j

    James' assistant rushed over while holding a folder. "This is Bambi Fisher's student file."James took it from her hands and tossed it carelessly to the ground. With his hands clasped behind his back, his expression remained indifferent and cold.Getting rid of this girl from Summit Academy was Ethel's decision. She had personally called him the night before.Since Merida had taken Elara's last name, Ethel no longer wanted the Fisher family's money wasted on raising another family's daughter.She was eager to have Merida leave the school, fearing that her precious grandson might be influenced by her and "go astray".Elara bent down and picked up the file. Merida watched as her mother crouched, and tears streamed down her face in large droplets.Elara dusted off the file and turned to her daughter with a smile, looking gentle yet resolute."Merida, don't be afraid. You are no longer the Bambi Fisher in that file. What's lying on the ground is Bambi Fisher, but the one standing ta

    James was completely dumbfounded. Why were so many reporters suddenly gathered at the school gate?They were all crowding around Elara—had she called them here?However, how could a woman cast out by the Fisher family have the influence to summon so many journalists?Confusion flickered across his face as he said, "I didn't receive any interview requests. This is all staged! The footage you recorded isn't real!"He turned to the petite female reporter with an ingratiating smile. "Miss, please, come inside! I'll personally give you a tour and explain the rich history of Summit Academy!"The reporter completely ignored him. "We're not here to interview you! We just refuse to stand by and watch what you've done!"James frowned. "Then why are you all gathered at the school entrance?"The moment he finished speaking, he saw the petite reporter push through the crowd, rushing toward the journalists surrounding Elara.Rosalie's voice rose in alarm. "What's going on? Did Elara call rep

    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,
