Chapter 107
On the recorder, the reporter was heard asking Beau, “Why do you think your Mommy participated in the math competition?”
“She wants to be famous and wants money! She wants to fight Daddy for me and use me to threaten him into giving her more money!” Beau’s voice rang out. His innocent and childish voice pierced Elara like a thousand needles, causing her pain.
For a moment, Elra was somewhat at a loss.
He was her son–her weakness and her armor. He was the boy who once shared her heartbeat. He was, after all, her flesh and blood. As such, he could cause her great pain and easily defeat her just by lifting a finger.
The color drained from Elara’s face, and her pupils dilated.
From the recorder, the reporter could be heard asking again “Beau, is there anything you’d like to say to netizens?
“Don’t be fooled by her! She’s just a selfish and awful woman! I’m her biological son, so I know what kind of mother she is better than anyone else!”
Once Beau’s voice faded away, the reporter smiled at Elara as he held the recorder.
Countless cameras were pointed at her face. Every camera was unwilling to miss even the slightest expression on
her face.
These reporters were like sharks who had caught the scent of blood in the water. They practically shoved their microphones in Elara’s face.
“Ms. Jones, is what your son said true?”
“Ms. Jones, may I know if you deliberately abandoned your son?”
Elara felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen over. She raised her hand, and her stiff joints ground together noisily like ice blocks rubbing against each other. She then pressed the microphone away with her palm. It would have stabbed her in the face otherwise.
The Platinum 818 reporter was very excited. His nose flared as he said loudly, “A five–year–old child won’t lie!”
Elara parted her dry lips, and she laughed coldly, “But a child can spew nonsense!”
That flat–faced yellow–toothed reporter pointed at her and spat, “Your son hates you this much because you are an unfit mother!”
“Ms. Jones, we won’t turn a blind eye to child abuse. We must report this to the Women’s Group!”
“Ms. Jones, how could you feed the heir to the Fisher family pig food? Say something!”
“If you’re accusing me of child abuse, then show me some concrete evidence!” Elara shot back.
Every breath she took burned painfully. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, and her nails dug into her palms.
Beau was spewing nonsense. She wouldn’t fall into the trap of proving her innocence.
“You son said it himself. Is that not evidence?” asked the Platinum 818 reporter.
“Since you’ve interviewed Beau and want to prove I abused my child, then produce the medical examination report! You want to convict me based on empty words and a mere recording… What right do journalists have to act as judges?”

Chapter 107
Elara’s expression was cold as she gave the reporters a final warning. “Move aside, or I’m calling the police!”
She was trapped on the stairs of the academic building, completely blocked by the crowd of reporters. Yet, even with her warning, none of them budged. They were like leeches, desperate to latch onto her and suck her dry.
Elara pulled out her phone, about to dial 911 when the Platinum 818 reporter suddenly jumped and smacked the phone out of her hand.
“Hey!” exclaimed Elara. Her phone slid down the stairs and stopped at someone’s polished black leather shoes.
The man picked up the phone.
Elara saw over a dozen bodyguards standing behind him, all dressed in the same black uniform. They also wore dark sunglasses and were equipped with Bluetooth earpieces.
The moment the reporters saw the sudden appearance of the bodyguards, it was as if an invisible force was pushing them back, making them instinctively retreat to the side.
The bodyguards moved straight toward Elara, and the leading bodyguard handed her phone back to her.
“Ms. Jones, we will escort you out of here.”
Elara looked at them in confusion.
“And you are?”
The lead bodyguard lowered his voice and replied, “Mr. Fisher requests your presence.”
Elara froze momentarily upon hearing that.
