Chapter 201

Harvey took back his phone without checking the chat history in the Capitol Brotherhood group chat. Whatever those people had said after seeing the video of Niamh's brutal punishment didn't matter to him.His right hand gripped the phone tightly, while the palm of his left hand that was lashed 30 times by the bamboo stick throbbed with pain. His skin was raw, and fresh blood pooled in his palm. The medical staff stood nearby, but none dared step forward to treat his wounds.His voice was cold as he asked Elara, "Are you satisfied now?"Before she could answer, he sneered. "You're bullying the weak just because you have power."Elara chuckled. "I have power to wield—do you?"Her eyes curved with amusement, and the smile on her radiant face deepened. "Mr. Fisher, I'd advise you to keep your tail tucked from now on."She inhaled deeply, letting the crisp air fill her lungs, refreshing her entire being.Harvey's expression darkened. Just as he was about to retort, Elara sighed and s

"Ahhh!" Niamh screamed all the way down as she tumbled down the slope, her mouth filling with dust and sand.She landed in the bushes below while suspended mid-air by the ropes. Leonard's subordinates secured the rope, ensuring that with her hands restrained, she wouldn't be able to climb back up.Then, they handed a pair of safety harnesses—one large, one small—to Harvey and Beau, instructing them to put them on themselves."Prof. Fisher said that only by making the perpetrators experience exactly what their victims went through can they truly understand what should and shouldn't be done."He also said, since you failed to educate your child properly, he will personally teach both of you how to behave."Harvey's expression darkened. Grabbing the back of Beau's collar, he slid down the slope with him."Wah! Daddy, I'm scared!" Beau clung to him while wailing.Harvey scolded him sharply, "Be a man! Toughen up! Just stop crying!"…On the way back to camp, Elara noticed that Fin

Elara's face burned instantly. Through the phone, she heard the sound of body wash being squeezed out, and her mind spiraled out of control. Just what part of himself was Theodore washing now?His voice, deep and rich, echoed through the bathroom, making it even more seductive. "Why'd you call?"Elara pressed a hand to her feverish forehead. Her brain felt like it had been tossed into a boiling pot. Clinging to the last shred of her rationality, she quickly explained why she had called."It's like this—my friend is coming back next week. You know her too, Mr. Snapp—my navigator, Lesley Lupone. So, I wanted to borrow Corona. Would that be okay?"Theodore agreed without hesitation. "Sure. Then, as a former owner of the Moonchaser Racing Club, can I apply to pick her up myself?"Elara chuckled. "Of course."Just then, she suddenly heard a soft hiss from Theodore. She froze for a moment and glanced at her phone—only to see Theodore's damp face appear on the screen.It was a man fres

Chapter 204

Finnegan stood stiffly, like a Doberman on high alert.Elara climbed into the car, her voice soft and sweet as she asked, "Xav, can I carry you?"Still half-asleep, Xavier instinctively leaned toward her. He nestled into Elara's embrace, and she gently lifted him out of the car.As he rested against her shoulder, he inhaled the light, comforting scent clinging to her. His half-lidded eyes fluttered, and he instinctively wrapped his small arms around her neck, seeking warmth.The household staff arrived to greet them, but when they saw Elara carrying Xavier, their eyes widened in shock. Xavier avoided people and refused physical contact with anyone. Even with Leonard, the person closest to him, he often remained unresponsive.Seeing how he was willing to be held by Elara, could this mean his autism was improving?"Is Mr. Xavier asleep? Would you like me to carry him?" one of the staff offered.Elara shook her head. "No need. He's awake, but his body hasn't fully caught up yet."

Leonard's gaze had already shifted away from Finnegan. He simply said, "As you wish."Then, he looked at Elara with a calm, distant expression. "Thank you for saving Xavier."Elara, however, dismissed it lightly. "It was Xav who saved me."Xavier grasped Elara's hand, patted his own chest, and then pointed at his smartwatch. Elara quickly understood what he meant. He was saying that as long as he was there, he would always protect her.Elara smiled warmly and praised him. "Xav, you were so brave today!""Xav! Can I kiss you?" Merida hugged Xavier, and when he didn't resist, she planted a kiss on his cheek.Elara crouched down and gently kissed the top of Xavier's head. His cheeks turned a soft shade of pink, and his dark eyes shimmered like a sky full of stars.On the way back to the camp, Elara had already told Merida about what had happened when she and Xavier went searching for mushrooms. After hearing the story, Merida had been furious, and she was eager to confront Beau rig

In the drawing, only the queen's expression was sorrowful. Xavier pushed out another picture.This time, he had used crayons to sketch the queen in a pink dress holding her daughter's hand as they left the castle. But in this picture, the queen's face was bright with happiness.Elara then picked up the third drawing Xavier handed her.In this one, the queen and her daughter encountered another king. The king stood beside a young boy and was holding out a diamond ring, proposing to the queen.A soft rustling sound came from behind the door as Xavier slid out a fifth drawing. This time, the queen had formed a new family with the king, along with their children. However, her face was blank, lost in confusion.Xavier had a gift for drawing. With just a few simple strokes, he captured expressions so vividly that they felt deeply real.Elara sat on the floor, leaning against the door. In her hands were Xavier's five drawings, along with the note that read: "I don't want you to be my mo

Elara opened her arms toward Xavier. "Xav, our fates are in our own hands. I won't repeat the same mistakes, and I won't let down your trust in me."Xavier hesitated, standing still for a moment. His steps faltered, but his eyes brimmed with longing and attachment. Finally, he threw himself into Elara's embrace as his slender arms wrapped tightly around her neck.He didn't want Elara to be his mother. He wanted her to be free.Elara turned to Leonard and said, "I won't let down your trust in me either."Those who truly cared for someone couldn't bear to see them suffer even the slightest loss. They would rather suppress their own feelings than see that person confined. They wished only for them to be as free as the wind, shining as brilliantly as the stars in the vast sky.Elara held Xavier's hand as they returned to the dining room. Seeing that Xavier was finally willing to eat, Merida personally picked food for him.After dinner, Leonard reminded her, "Do you remember our bet?

Chapter 208

Harold was just a university professor, a mere sponsored scholar of Ohm Technologies, yet he wielded such influence over their executives.Leonard picked up his phone and issued a command to his subordinates without a change in expression. "Keep a close watch on all of Harold Judd's movements."Meanwhile, Harold, who was still on the call, chuckled and said to Elara, "If you really want to thank me, just treat me to a nice meal."Elara responded smoothly, "Once everything is settled, I will make sure to reward you properly, Mr. Judd. But for now, to avoid any unnecessary speculation, it's best if we limit our contact."Harold, on the other end, readily agreed. "Of course. Once the news gets out that you're in charge of the acquisition, even Mr. Fisher will be keeping an eye on you. You'll need to be extra careful."Then, as if seeking justice on her behalf, he added, "Harvey Fisher is such an absolute scumbag! And that little brat Beau…"Just watching the way those two treated yo

Chapter 209

After finishing her meal, Elara couldn't wait to slip into Leonard's study.Calling it a study wasn't quite accurate—it was more of a library. The Oakread estate housed a three-story library filled with rare, out-of-print books, along with classified research materials that even top university professors would struggle to access.Elara immersed herself in this vast ocean of knowledge. But with Merida and Finnegan still waiting for her, she reluctantly left after indulging in two hours of reading.…Back at the Mistvale Ranch, cold mountain winds howled through the night at the base of the slope."Daddy, I need to pee! I can't hold it anymore!" Beau's voice was on the verge of tears.He was the treasured young heir of the Fisher family, pampered by everyone. Yet now, he found himself in this humiliating predicament.He was stranded at the bottom of a slope with his hands bound at his sides. He couldn't even pull down his own pants, let alone find a restroom.Harvey lay beside hi

Chapter 210

"Har..."Niamh knew exactly what that long, slithering thing around her neck was. But no matter how wide she opened her eyes, she couldn't see it clearly.A suffocating terror gripped her, making it nearly impossible to speak. "Mmmph!"Her legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed, unconscious. Surveillance cameras covered the slope above them. After carefully weighing his options, Harvey made the decision to bring Beau back down to the bottom of the slope.At dawn the next morning, Harvey finally took Beau and Niamh to the hospital. The slope had been crawling with insects. Harvey's face and neck were covered in swollen bites, and some bugs had even gotten inside his collar, leaving red welts on his chest.Beau had broken out in a full-body rash, but Niamh had it the worst. After passing out at the bottom of the slope, her eyelids had swollen shut from insect bites. When she woke up and realized she couldn't open her eyes, she panicked as she was convinced she had gone blind.
