Benjamin picked up his phone again. There was a playful smirk tugging at his lips."Dad, the Jones family's reputation is safe. Your daughter won the race, and everyone here is chanting her name."Abel immediately asked, "Didn't you just say Niamh finished dead last?"Benjamin's smirk widened. "It was your other daughter who took first place.""What are you talking about? What other daughter?" Abel blurted out.Benjamin blinked lazily. "Elara."Abel scoffed in disbelief. "Elara? She doesn't even know how to race! You must be mistaken!"Benjamin shrugged innocently. "It's true. Eucon's number-one female racer, Luna, is Elara.""What? Luna is my daughter?"Of course, Abel knew who Luna was—who didn't?When Luna placed in the top ten of an international racing event, she shattered national records. After all, the racing industry in their country had started late, and there had been almost no female racers.Every time Luna competed, she made history. Even though Abel had never p

The moment Ethel saw the critical condition notice, her mouth fell open, and her pupils contracted sharply. Her entire body went rigid as she stiffened and collapsed backward.The driver who came with her quickly caught her.Harvey strode forward and took the critical condition notice from the traffic officer's hand."How did it get this serious?" he asked.Upon hearing this question, the traffic officer felt a surge of displeasure. It seemed that Harvey had already known that Niamh was riding a motorcycle with a five-year-old child. He was merely shocked that his son had been injured so severely.The traffic officer sternly questioned him, "Niamh was speeding at 62 miles per hour. Your son is only five years old. As his father, why didn't you fulfill your responsibility as his guardian?""Harvey!"Niamh hobbled over on her crutches. She had even put on a few bandages on her face.Crying, she said, "Harvey, you have to sue the traffic police! It's all their fault! They suddenly

Abel's hands were restrained, but he raised his leg and delivered a vicious kick to Niamh's shoulder.Niamh fell to the ground with a shout. This time, the pain engulfed her entire body. The pain was like ant bites spreading across her body. It also felt like she was being electrocuted, making her wish she was dead.Abel took a deep breath. Belt in hand, he pointed at Niamh and said to Harvey, "Don't worry, Harvey. I will never tolerate this disgraceful wretch! If Beau's hand is injured, you can cut hers off! If his leg is injured, you can cut off her leg!"When Abel found out that Beau had gotten into an accident while riding Niamh's motorcycle, it felt like the sky had fallen. Rather than waiting for Harvey to retaliate against the Jones family due to his son, Abel decided to act first by beating Niamh so thoroughly that Harvey would have nothing left to say.The police officers were speechless. They wondered where these lawless lunatics came from."We live in a society govern

When Ethel heard the noise, she quickly turned her head.Merida also let go of Harvey's tie. She hurried over, only to see several nurses pushing a mobile hospital bed out of the operating room.Merida's steps came to an abrupt halt, and her entire body froze in place. Her dark round eyes stared at Beau, who was on the bed. His eyes were closed as if he was asleep, and most of his face was obscured by an oxygen mask. His head, arms, and legs were wrapped in layers of bandages. She could barely recognize him. It was the first time she had ever seen Beau like this. A huge wave of panic surged through her. It was as if an invisible hand was clamped over her mouth, leaving her small body trembling uncontrollably.Quite a few tubes were attached to Beau's body, and a nurse was holding up an IV bag. At that moment, Elara didn't have the strength to look away. It was as if a hot poker had pierced her heart, burning her blood into rising wisps of white smoke. All her vitality and ho

"This is a sterile ward, kiddo. You can't go inside."Merida asked the nurse, "When will Beau wake up?"The nurse comforted her in a gentle voice. "I think it will be very soon."Elara walked over and saw Merida squatting in the corner of the ICU hallway. She was holding watercolor pens and drawing something on a piece of paper.She watched as Merida stuck the paper, which had a drawing of some flowers on it, on the ICU door. Merida then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, wearing an expression of deep sincerity. Elara felt a swell of emotion."I hope Beau wakes up. Only then can he apologize to Mommy."Elara stroked her daughter's face. She didn't care whether Beau apologized to her or not, but he had once been the person closest to Merida.They were twins and were once inseparable. This was Merida's first time facing a seriously injured Beau. With death being so close to her loved one, it was enough to make her fearful for a long time.Elara knelt on the ground

If Elara was still married to Harvey, she would have reminded the Fisher family to pay attention to public relations. However, everything that had happened today was all Harvey's doing. Even if Fisher Corp faced a massive shock, it had nothing to do with her.Elara stood at the ICU entrance. She looked at Beau, who was lying in bed, through the glass. He was surrounded by medical equipment and covered by a snow white blanket. He would be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.In her ears, she could still hear the sound of Beau crying loudly in the hospital when he was two or three years old. He was clinging to her waist, his tiny body buried in her embrace. Back then, she was still his entire world. Abel approached Elara, and she glanced coldly at the blood-stained belt in his hands."The executives from Ohm Technologies have already contacted me. They want you to represent Joss Tech and discuss the acquisition deal with them."Abel stared at Elara's face. He then let out a c

Ethel pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear."Apologies, Madam Foster, but I've received notice from my superiors that they have decided not to grant you the Women's Day Award for the time being."Ethel's heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "Did someone report me?"Could Elara really have incriminating evidence against her? Thoughts raced through Ethel's mind. Elara had spent seven years lying low in the Fisher family. Had she been secretly working as a spy?"Madam Foster, your son has already been taken away by the police, and the entirety of the Internet is calling you a wicked mother-in-law. Given the public opinion, we at the Women's Advocacy have no choice but to distance ourselves from you.""Mrs. Harrison…"Before Ethel could finish her sentence, Sabrina Harrison had already hung up.She tried calling back, but before she could, another incoming call appeared on her phone screen. It was from the staff at the Red Cross Foundation. She had a bad feelin

A few days later, Elara, Finnegan, and Lesley gathered at the top-floor office of Summit Business Plaza.This area was part of Capitol's newly developed district. One could see the vast docks and the open sea in the distance when they stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 66th floor. Large cargo ships moved slowly across the horizon.Finnegan had tossed his suit jacket over the back of the couch. He wore only a well-tailored dress shirt without a tie. His collar was casually unbuttoned, revealing bronzed skin and a sharply defined collarbone.His sleeves were rolled up, exposing strong, well-defined forearms that exuded strength. His legs were spread slightly apart as he sat comfortably."Zenith Tech, which I own, has already entered the competition to acquire Joss Tech. However, even if Zenith Tech offers a higher bid than Ohm Technologies, Abel might not choose Zenith Tech. It's very difficult to have Abel abandon Ohm Technologies and sell Joss Tech to the company you supp

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
