"There's something else written on here too!" said Merida. "Something about youth… And something about the rest of her life…"The words on the written prayer had faded after being exposed to the elements for years. So, Merida couldn't tell what was actually written on the paper.Elara looked up and said to her, "Take it down. I'll throw it away."Hearing that, Merida gently pulled it, and the paper was removed just like that. Elara took the paper and walked to a trash can before tossing it away.Back when she was 18 years old, Harvey brought her here to the church. Then, he wrote down his own wish on the wishing paper: "Elara had a tough youth, so may the rest of her life be filled with joy and peace."He used to love her a lot and once decided to treat her right. However, it all changed in the end.Back then, the love she had for him was real. She was devoted to him and gave him all she had without a doubt. However, she really wanted to take it all back and bid him farewell this

At that moment, another huge group of people entered the meeting room. When the shareholders saw who had arrived, they hurriedly stood up."Hello, Mr. Fisher Senior!"Harvey's father, Zachary Fisher, had arrived. When the bald man entered the room, the atmosphere brightened up. He was like a saint with a gentle smile, and he would be nice to anyone.When Harvey saw Zachary, he continued to sit on his chair and didn't move at all. Instead, he just nodded at the latter to show his respect.Suddenly, more people came into the meeting room. Leonard showed up in a wheelchair, and his assistant helped push him into the room. Harvey was stunned for a moment when he saw Leonard, and he got up from his seat.The shareholders had already stepped forward to welcome Leonard, walking past Zachary in the process. Zachary turned around and just smiled at the shareholders as they surrounded Leonard. They stood a few steps away from Leonard and bent over to greet him."Hello, Prof. Fisher!""It'

When Harvey saw Elara's face once more, he finally understood that she didn't win the preliminaries because she was lucky. After all, she was in first place in the finals as well.In the challenge, the top 20 contestants would have to choose the contestant they would like to face first. Then, the contestants that were chosen could give the people who chose them a question of their choice. However, the person who gave the question would have to be able to solve it as well.If the challenger couldn't solve the question or suggest any effective solution, they would be eliminated.The contestants in the 18th, 19th, and 20th place all chose to challenge Elara! After Elara solved the questions they gave her, they were all eliminated.Next, the top 15, 16, and 17 contestants chose to challenge Elara as well. When the people online noticed that Elara was challenged nonstop, they thought it was unfair."Why is everyone challenging her? Are they looking down on her because she's a housewife

Elara stepped on the podium once more to accept the prize from the event organizers. Then, the host asked her, "Ms. Jones, I'm sure everyone must be wondering how a housewife of seven years is able to win the competition."Elara looked up at the lights shining on her. They were so warm that it felt like she was going to melt soon. Then, she faced the camera with her beautiful looks and took a deep breath. It felt like she could see her younger self sitting among the audience.Then, her deep dark eyes lit up. "There's only one reason why I'm standing here right now—I started to love myself. I picked up my courage and started living a new life. I stopped feeling afraid because of other people's reactions, and I wouldn't doubt myself because of what people were saying about me."I allow myself to be rejected, and I won't seek other people's approval. I am my own person, and only I can decide my own life!"Then, she smiled brightly and said to the countless cameras, "I often look back

Theodore stood tall and casual. He was smiling brightly as he watched Elara being surrounded by flowers and applause. There were a few professors standing in front of her, wanting to talk to her. So, when she returned to her senses, she hurriedly answered those big shots in the academic world.While she talked to the people surrounding them, she slowly walked past everyone and made her way to Theodore. Tobias was there as well. When she finally reached them, she took a deep breath and said, "I'm back, Dr. Snapp!"Tobias put his hands behind his back and held his breath. He was clearly keeping his emotions under control. "Hmph! I don't need you back here!" he said with pursed lips.Elara knew he was still mad that Harold had stolen all the hard work she had accomplished."Dr. Snapp…" Just as she was about to say something, he said to her, "Just keep on working hard with courage. Show me if you can still shine bright like you used to!" Hearing that, Elara felt warm inside. Although T

Theodore raised his hand and blocked Tobias' spit from reaching Elara. Then, Tobias mumbled while sniffing around, "What's that pungent smell?"The other professors started sniffing around as well when they heard that. "What smell? I don't smell anything!"When Elara returned to her senses, she hurriedly showed everyone the invitation letter in her hand."I've already received an official invitation. Thank you for inviting me, everyone."As she spoke, she saw someone staring at her like a vengeful spirit. Wayne was looking at her from the crowd, and when he met her gaze, he hurriedly scurried away like a rat.After he was placed in the 100th place in the finals, he didn't have the right to challenge her anymore. Before the contestant in second place was eliminated, Wayne was still hoping that the runner-up contestant would win instead. To him, that contestant was way more impressive than Elara.So, when Elara won the award in the end, he started panicking completely. He remembere

Elara had cut off Harvey's call, and everyone in the meeting room went dead silent! Harvey sat there coldly, wondering when she was going to stop throwing a tantrum and making things difficult for him. He suppressed the raging emotions that were stirring behind his cold dark eyes before calling her again.This time, an automated voice greeted him instead. "The number you're calling is unreachable at the moment. Please try again later."Elara had blocked him again! Harvey took a deep breath and suddenly looked up at the shareholders who were looking back at him. "Let me call her instead," said Leonard, and everyone turned their gaze to him.Leonard took out his phone and made the call before putting it on speaker. As the shareholders listened to the dial tone, they instinctively held their breaths.Soon, the call was answered. "Prof. Fisher, did you know I won the competition?" Elara was on cloud nine when she spoke on the other side of the call. Harvey was stunned when he heard tha

Hearing that, none of the kids dared to approach Merida anymore.The P.E. teacher, Jonathan Walker, had always gone with Beau's wishes. He even made Beau a committee of the P.E. association.

Theodore was truly a frightening man! Yet Elara didn't find this off-putting.Wasn't this exactly the sort of thing he would do? She had sensed this man's calculated advances from the moment he began appearing frequently in her life.Soon, Cassie left, and Elara sat in her office chair, moving back slightly."You can come out now," she commanded.Her voice had regained its composure. "You should have recovered by now, right, Mr. Snapp?"Theodore emerged from under the desk, which had been relatively cramped for someone of his size. He blinked at her, his eyes brimming with amusement as he asked, "Was that fun?""I almost fell for you," Elara blurted out, her voice carrying a more teasing tone.The man looked slightly disappointed. "So, you didn't fall for me after all?"Persistent, he leaned forward and lowered his voice to ask, "Did it feel good when you touched me earlier?"Elara's bright eyes sparkled with light as she had to admit, "I didn't expect you'd feel so nice to to

If one word could describe Theodore, it would be "insatiable!"The spasms emanating from Elara's abdomen made her aware of the unusual sensations in her body. In the warm early summer afternoon, even the air in the office seemed to grow heavy and humid.She felt as if an electric current had struck her, sending a tingling sensation up from the base of her spine. Her lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but feel an intense curiosity about Theodore."Why would someone like you be interested in someone like me?" Elara's voice fell from above him."Hmm? Someone like me? What kind of person am I?"Theodore looked up at her with an expression that seemed completely vulnerable, as if offering himself to be commanded by her.Seated in her office chair, Elara lowered her gaze. As she looked down at this man, a strange and subtle thrill arose in her chest.She finally understood what it meant to gaze down from a position of power. It felt as though butterflies were dancing wildly i

Harvey was annoyed by Ethel's interference in his love life. Elara's decision to divorce him undoubtedly had something to do with Ethel's meddling."I recall that Uncle Leonard has been looking after the Shelton family. Didn't the Sheltons' daughter go abroad to study with Uncle Leonard's letter of recommendation?" Harvey asked."That's ancient history," Ethel replied. "I hear she has done quite well for herself in Melcina. She's returned and taken a position at Quantum Tech under Price Nation."Harvey was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a certain phrase from Ethel."What position does Ms. Shelton hold at Quantum Tech?"Ethel was delighted—Harvey was showing interest in Angie.She described enthusiastically, "I heard she's highly regarded by Priscilla. Since she's joined Quantum Tech, she must be in a top position.""Isn't Elara the one in charge?" Harvey thought. He quickly realized this meant Elara's position at Quantum Tech wasn't secure.Harvey re

Perhaps it was because he had spent recent days shoveling manure for fertilizer, cleaning pigpens, and herding cattle and sheep, but Harvey's germaphobia seemed to have been cured.He crouched down and began searching through the pile of garbage.Seeing Beau standing idly nearby, he sternly commanded, "What are you standing around for? Help me look! If we don't find the stethoscope, you won't be eating dinner!"Beau finally understood the gravity of the situation. With fear and trepidation in his heart, he looked at the garbage scattered on the ground with a miserable expression."Daddy, can I at least have a pair of gloves?""Look!" Harvey roared. "If we don't find it, I'll throw you in the trash can!"For the first time, he had completely lost patience with his son. Flames seemed to shoot from his eyes, and the features of his face were tense and sharp.Beau trembled, held his breath, and crouched down. With a disgusted expression, he began searching through the garbage while

Harvey froze in shock. He pulled back the covers, finding nothing on the bed. He spun around and darted out of his room, leaving a sharp, cold breeze in his wake.Outside his room stood a bodyguard assigned by Leonard. Harvey then grabbed the bodyguard by the collar."Where's my stethoscope? Who told you to touch my stethoscope?" he demanded.The bodyguard was bewildered. He gripped Harvey's hand in displeasure. "Mr. Fisher, please calm down. I don't know what you're talking about."Hostility flashed in Harvey's eyes as he breathed heavily and questioned, "My stethoscope that I put under my pillow—who took it?"The bodyguard thought for a moment. "I did see Mr. Beau playing with a stethoscope this morning. I'm not sure where he got it from."Harvey's pupils constricted sharply. Beau had entered his room and taken his stethoscope?That little brat!Beau, dressed in a gray monk's robe, was surrounded by visitors who had come to the chapel to pray. These past few days, he had been

This time, Harvey very clearly saw Elara's face deepen from a light pink to a rich, blooming rose—visibly, and in real time.Her beauty blossomed like a peony in full bloom. Her long lashes trembled several times, and her dark eyes shimmered as if brimming with tears.She looked as if… She was lovestruck. The moment that phrase crossed Harvey's mind, he was so stunned that his eyes widened in disbelief.Was Elara suddenly getting shy because of him?A strange flutter rippled through his chest. He sat at his desk, staring at the high-definition monitor in front of him, where every detail of Elara's face—even each individual eyelash—was crystal clear.He shifted his gaze to the upper-left corner of the screen to glance at the small preview of himself.After Leonard had driven him up to the mountains, the priest at Atkina Church had given him a haircut. Since he was neither a monk nor formally ordained, it was just a close-cropped cut, not a full shaving of the head.He looked at h

Theodore's eyes gleamed like sunlight shimmering over a lake. He looked like a large dog trapped in a cage, gazing at Elara with unwavering intensity. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging wildly like a windmill spinning at full speed.Elara screamed internally. This had gone a little too far! Her eyes then dropped to the tip of her own shoe. The place she had kicked… had grown!"Oh!" She quickly jerked her foot back, only to feel her body tip backward uncontrollably.Just as she was about to fall, Theodore reached out and grabbed her ankle.The moment his fingers touched her skin, her heart skipped a beat. Theodore pulled her back toward the desk.Elara froze in place like a statue. Her entire body was tense, her eyes were wide, and her pupils were unfocused."Elara, what's wrong?"Harvey had seen her suddenly lose her balance and fall backward. It startled him so badly, he looked as if he wanted to jump through the screen.A wave of helplessness washed over him. Luckil

Elara looked under the desk. What on earth was going on?Meanwhile, Harvey observed Elara in her formal women's suit on the computer screen—an attire he'd never seen her wear before.Her hair was pulled back into a bun secured by a simple ebony hairpin. A few strands, gilded by sunlight, curled against her porcelain cheeks.Though she appeared to be looking down at something, Harvey's gaze and thoughts remained completely captivated by her face. Only months had passed since their divorce, yet seeing her now felt like encountering someone from another lifetime.Had time stretched endlessly during his days at Atkina Church?"El—" Harvey's throat tightened as if stuffed with paper.But he quickly regained his usual composed tone. "Elara—no, I should address you as Ms. Jones now. Had Sam not called me, I wouldn't have known you'd assumed Quantum Tech's CEO position."His voice carried that innate condescension of the privileged, laced with unmistakable mockery."Why are you hiding

Elara stood still as she gazed at the tall, distinguished man before her. Meanwhile, Theodore looked up and smiled at her against the light."Why are you so far away?"Elara stepped toward him, teasing lightly, "I wanted a good look at you.""Then you'll need to come closer." Theodore leaned forward, closing the distance between them.Though she stopped a step away, their faces nearly touched. Elara instinctively held her breath as her eyes locked on him."Can you see clearly now?" Theodore asked."Mm," Elara replied."And?""So handsome." Elara praised him sincerely. "You're one of the most attractive men I've ever seen!"She truly meant it. Theodore chuckled through his nose. She'd seen plenty of handsome men in her life—Finnegan, Harvey, and Leonard. Especially Leonard, whose looks even made Theodore feel somewhat threatened."My face is the least remarkable part of me." He declared confidently.Images of those shirtless photos Theodore had sent flashed through Elara's mi
