Chapter 18

Author: Full of Luck
Ethel laughed at Bambi's naivety. "You might not even be able to afford tuition anymore if you follow your mother!"

She believed her granddaughter had no idea what awaited her in the future, and Ethel's glare at Elara carried nothing but venom.

"I want to see how a mere college graduate like you plans to raise Bambi! Bambi doesn't realize her life has already hit rock bottom. The gap between her and Beau is now an unbridgeable chasm.

"No matter how hard you try, Bambi will never reach the level Beau is destined for!"

Elara's voice remained calm. "Both my children came from the same womb. If Beau has something, Bambi should too.

"Since the Fisher family can't treat them equally, I will take Bambi and help her grow into who she wants to be."

Elara turned to leave with Bambi when a group of people carrying briefcases walked into the auditorium. The middle-aged man leading the group wore a modest white shirt and black trousers.

Elara's eyes narrowed. How coincidental—it was a famili

    Inside Quantum Tech's CEO's Office, Elara casually picked up her phone and saw thousands of unread messages in the company group chat.What on earth had happened at the company?She opened the chat group and scrolled back to this morning's messages. Someone had posted a picture of Angie carrying four or five bags of coffee while waiting for an elevator."That's got to be at least 16 cups, right?""Who's got an inside source at Fisher Corp? Confess now and we'll go easy on you!""Who doesn't have a source at Fisher Corp? My friend sent me this."Someone else then posted photos of former Quantum Tech employees in the group. They were employees who had left Quantum Tech and been absorbed by Fisher Corp, where they were all doing the most menial work."I heard from a friend that the people who left with Angie feel like they got scammed. They're demanding answers from her now.""I told you so. Fisher Corp's CEO is a complete shark. They're lucky they didn't get completely fleeced af

    "Harvey, your secretary actually made me buy 18 cups of coffee! The task list he gave me is all about printing documents and binding them into booklets!" Angie stormed up to Harvey to complain.Harvey stopped walking, his expression cold as he said, "Can't you handle these tasks?"After taking a deep breath, Angie emphasized, "Your secretary has me doing grunt work. You need to understand that Ms. Price paid top dollar to headhunt me back from Melcina."She offered me a director position at Quantum Tech. If Elara hadn't swooped in and stolen it, I would've definitely become the top executive at Quantum Tech."Harvey scoffed lightly. "Either leave Fisher Corp and go back to Quantum Tech, or do your job as an errand girl."Angie stared at Harvey, her pupils dilating. Before she could speak, Harvey continued, "If you can't even handle such simple grunt work, Fisher Corp's janitorial department is still hiring. You can at least sweep floors, right?"Angie nearly ground her molars to

    Elara paused for a moment. She knew about Beau's situation. He usually couldn't sleep without her there.Beau had been a high-needs baby from early on. If Elara weren't constantly attending to him, his crying would go on endlessly.After Beau became more aware, he realized he was too dependent on Elara and deliberately distanced himself from her. But at bedtime, he still needed Elara by his side.How had Beau been getting through the nights without her there?Elara forced herself to stop thinking about it and said, "When we left the Fisher residence, I didn't take all our clothes with us.""That's what I told Beau too." Merida pouted. "But Beau said all the clothes you left behind got thrown away."Whether Harvey or Ethel was responsible for that move didn't matter to Elara. When she'd left the Fisher residence, she'd walked out with just her suitcase. There was only so much she could take with her, and she'd expected the Fishers to throw away whatever remained anyway.Elara con

    Harvey's dark eyes were tainted with desire, becoming infinitely darker in the night. This was madness! How could he have such a bizarre dream?The scenes he'd dreamed about made him feel ashamed, even thinking back on them. Harvey grabbed the sheets and felt the dampness. He bolted upright in bed.Standing under the shower head, he took a cold shower, but the fire burning inside his body still wasn't extinguished. When he emerged from the bathroom, he walked toward Elara's bedroom.After the staff had cleaned it out, Elara's room had become completely empty. Harvey tossed and turned on the bed where Elara used to sleep. The bedding that was washed several times over had completely lost any trace of Elara's scent."Daddy."A child's voice suddenly rang out, startling Harvey. He sat up, bracing himself with his hands, and saw Beau in his pajamas. Both of his hands were gripping the door handle as he stood timidly in the doorway.Harvey snapped coldly. "It's so late. Why aren't you

    When Mary finished speaking, the fury erupting from Harvey hit her face like a hurricane. Mary froze solid in place.Before she could react, she heard Harvey's intimidating inquiry. "Threw them away?"Mary's whole body trembled."Um..." Mary had served the Fishers for years and was sharp enough to immediately understand that discarding Elara's inexpensive clothes—the ones she hadn't taken with her—had infuriated Harvey. Still, she couldn't fathom why he was angry.Mary quickly passed the buck. "I was just following Madam Fisher's orders, sir."Harvey knew those discarded items could never be recovered, and if he made a bigger scene, it would certainly alert his parents.He also knew his reaction was somewhat abnormal, but he couldn't control himself. This was just like that stethoscope Beau had thrown in the trash, never to be found again.Along with it, everything in this house that was connected to Elara was disappearing bit by bit.Standing in the hallway, Harvey tried to re

    Harvey reached out, running his fingers along the golf club. His mind was filled with the image of Elara gripping that iron rod and smashing the signal receiver.Plastic shards were flying everywhere, and she didn't even blink. It was an expression Harvey had never seen before, yet it set his blood on fire.The unmanned truck slammed into the test facility wall, sparks erupting as fire spread rapidly. He could smell the burning wreckage as he watched Elara approach him with the roaring flames behind her.Her long hair whipped in the wind, the edges singed and curled from the intense heat. Her face remained composed, her dark eyes fierce and untamed like a wild predator's, radiating an untouchable defiance.When Harvey was younger, he'd fantasized that his other half should be a woman who could stand as his equal. They would stand side by side—rivals and yet the most intimate of lovers.Later, he'd abandoned such thoughts when he realized how difficult it was to find someone like h
