This further proved that his disappearance and reappearance were entirely orchestrated by Leonard.Harvey walked into the dining room. As he looked at the familiar breakfast spread, he suddenly felt as if an eternity had passed."Harvey, you're back," Ethel said as she walked in, having not seen her son in a while."Mom," Harvey greeted her with a neutral tone.Ethel sat down and joined him for the meal. Harvey then picked up his fork, and in front of him was his usual Melcinian-style breakfast.However, he had no appetite. He tried taking a bite of the sandwich, but all he could think about was the bowl of soup Elara had brought him."Make me a bowl of chicken noodle soup," Harvey instructed Mary."What?" Mary hesitated. "That'll take at least half an hour…"Mary glanced at Ethel, who asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to eat that? Soup isn't filling. Melcinian food is much more nutritious than Euconian food!"Harvey said to Mary, "Go make it."Mary nodded. "Alrigh

Ethel was also a bit surprised. Normally, Harvey wouldn't even deign to say Elara's name."Harvey, have you seen Elara recently?"Harvey's expression stiffened slightly, a cold detachment settling over his handsome face. Even in front of his mother, he remained aloof."No."Ethel also thought it was impossible for her son to have any further involvement with Elara."She's actually benefited from this mess—she's now the acting CEO of Joss Tech!"Ethel's tone was dripping with sarcasm. She didn't think much of Elara becoming the acting CEO."She couldn't even manage our household properly, and now she's running a company? Ha!" Ethel couldn't help but laugh.She didn't notice Harvey's frown."Anyway, Joss Tech is going to be sold. Let her play CEO for a few days and get it out of her system."The malice Ethel directed toward Elara was palpable, making Harvey feel slightly uncomfortable."Mom, did you go to Spring Garden recently…" Harvey almost asked if she had gone to Spring G

"I saw that woman enter another building. I figured she was meeting a friend or something."Who would've thought the elevator would break down shortly after I got in? I was stuck in there with those bodyguards all night…"Ethel covered her face as she recounted her harrowing experience to her son. When the elevator doors finally opened, Ethel took a step forward and immediately wet herself. It was a scene she never wanted to relive.After returning to the Fisher family, Ethel fired all the bodyguards who had been trapped in the elevator with her. She couldn't bear to see them without being reminded of her humiliating ordeal at Spring Garden.Mary brought over the freshly made chicken noodle soup. Harvey took a bite and frowned."Did you follow Elara's recipe?" Harvey asked.Mary quickly nodded. "Yes, we followed Ms. Jones' instructions precisely—not an ounce more, not an ounce less."But even though the Fisher family's cook strictly adhered to Elara's notes, the chicken noodle s

"Oh my! Oh my god!" The young men in the private room erupted into exaggerated cheers and laughter."Pigs must be flying—Niamh Jones is wearing high heels! This is too funny! Hahahaha!""Niamh! Did you lose your mind? Why on earth would you strap on stilts and go out like that?"Niamh pulled down the black mask covering her face. She had applied heavy makeup, hoping her still-swollen face would look somewhat presentable under the dim lighting."You guys always say I have no femininity. Well, today I'm going to show you what real femininity looks like!""Oh my goodness!"The wealthy young heirs in the room doubled over with laughter, some even wiping tears from their eyes."Niamh! Come on, take a few steps for us!""Everyone, pay attention! Niamh's showing off her newly installed legs! Hahahaha!" These young heirs treated Niamh as nothing more than a joke.The fact that Niamh could still appear by Harvey's side after the Riverfront Avenue car accident proved that, in Harvey's e

Niamh pouted and reluctantly took off the high heels, tossing them onto the floor."See? I took them off!"Harvey lowered his long, thick lashes, his gaze fixed on the red-soled high heels on the ground."Throw them in the trash!"Niamh was shocked. "But I just bought these heels!"The man's dark eyes gleamed like those of a dangerous beast as he warned Niamh, "From now on, no one is allowed to wear this type of high heel in front of me!""You don't like these heels?" Niamh muttered. "Is it because Elara wore them?"In her mind, Niamh was practically screaming. How had she stepped right into Harvey's minefield?She must have been too engrossed in that video of Harvey, mistakenly thinking he enjoyed being stepped on by Elara in high heels!But on second thought, how could Harvey possibly like that plain Jane, Elara?When Elara stepped on him, he must have felt disgusted and repulsed!Niamh softened her tone. "If you make me throw these heels away, what am I supposed to wear b

Harvey called Mary. "Do you know what shoe size Elara usually wears?""Huh?" Mary held her phone and looked out the window, half-expecting to see a comet crashing into Earth.This was truly unprecedented—Harvey Fisher was actually asking about Elara Jones' shoe size. But why would he want to know?Relying on a vague memory, Mary gave Harvey Elara's shoe size. Harvey then relayed the size to the sales associate.The sales associate smiled. "Are you buying these for your girlfriend?"Harvey paused. "Why would you think it's for a girlfriend?"The sales associate's cheeks flushed red under the man's gaze. "It must be a new girlfriend, right? You don't even know her shoe size."It felt like a wad of paper had been stuffed into Harvey's throat, making it hard to breathe. He had been married to Elara for seven years, yet he couldn't even remember her birthday.In truth, if he wanted to find out, he could easily access all of Elara's information. But he had never bothered.It seemed

Harvey was stunned! He stood frozen in front of the urology department for a few seconds before turning and walking away.Once he got into his car, he contacted a hacker to infiltrate the hospital's urology department's system and retrieve Theodore's medical records.Since it was a private hospital with strong confidentiality measures, the hacker could only access Theodore's records from that day.When Harvey opened the file the hacker sent him, his eyes widened in shock. A few seconds later, Harvey laughed. There was a disdainful snort escaping his throat.Theodore Snapp… was actually impotent!…A few days later, a silver supercar pulled into the underground parking lot of the commercial building where Joss Tech was located.Elara had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Theodore, who was driving, got out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door.The tall, impeccably dressed man in an expensive suit stood outside the door, exuding a charm th

Many in the business world believed Theodore wasn't the type to blindly throw money at a woman. His high-profile announcement of a relationship with Elara must have had ulterior motives.Elara met Theodore's gaze, seeing her own reflection in his eyes. She could even hear her heart pounding violently.The skin on her chest seemed to vibrate with each beat, her blood surging so intensely she feared her racing heart would give her away!She instinctively leaned back, pressing herself against the car window to create as much distance from Theodore as possible.Theodore noticed her reaction, and a fleeting sense of loss flashed in his eyes. "Sorry."He took a step back, putting a clear distance between them. Even though they both knew this intimacy was just an act for others, their body's instinctive reactions couldn't deceive each other.A fine layer of sweat formed above Elara's lips. "I'm fine…"Theodore probably thought she was uncomfortable with his sudden closeness, but in rea

Seeing her displeasure, he quickly restrained himself.Meanwhile, employees throughout the company sat at their computers, witnessing the entire scene. They were getting front-row seats to some juicy gossip!This wasn't just some inappropriate video of Priscilla being circulated—they didn't need to verify whether what they were seeing was real or fake.

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
