Chapter 109
Leonard pressed the button next to the door, and the car door was closed once more. The reporters stood outside, and none of them dared to step forward again.
After the bodyguards had left, Alex Wick, the reporter from Platinum 818, turned around and made a call immediately. “Hey, Niamh, you didn’t say that Fisher guy was protecting Elara! If I’ve offended him today, then I won’t be able to stay in this industry anymore!”
Leonard had already left, but Alex was still feeling shaken. Hearing what he had said, Niamh said from the other side of the call, “What? The Fisher guy? Who are you talking about?”
“Leonard Fisher! He came with some bodyguards and took your sister away.”
“No way!” she blurted out. “Did you see him pick her up with your own eyes? Harvey and I grew up together, but I had only seen Leonard a few times myself. He’s a busy academician at Hawke University, and he was even invited by the government to work on a classified project. How can he possibly…”
“It really was Leonard Fisher!” Alex said emotionally. “I saw him with my own eyes, and there’s no mistaking it! Prof. Fisher even called me ridiculous for digging up information from a five–year–old as a resourceful reporter…”
He clutched his chest and said worryingly, “Am I going to get fired when I return to the company later? Niamh, I never thought I would offend Leonard Fisher by helping you this time!”
Meanwhile, Niamh was mumbling under her breath like she hadn’t recovered from the shock yet. “This is impossible! Why would Leonard help Elara… There’s no way!”
Then, Alex added, “Regardless, there’s no way I’ll dare to publish anything about her now.”
Niamh immediately said coldly, “Even if you’re too scared to do it, other media outlets will fight to publish any dirt on Elara. The way she’s abusing her son is already trending now!”
After that, she ended the call and chuckled coldly. Thinking about how Elara was trying to become famous through the ALI Math Competition, Niamh couldn’t help but scoff. The more Elara was praised on the Internet, the more Niamh wanted her to fall from grace!
Niamh would never allow anyone else from the Jones family to be more famous than her! She figured a village bumpkin like Elara had already used up all her luck by marrying into the Fisher family and that it was the limit Elara could ever dream of achieving.
From then on, Niamh would only allow Elara to have the leftovers!
As the car left Capitol University, Elara removed the Nine Rings for Xavier.
“Wow!” Xavier exclaimed while looking at her with his eyes lit up. His face was chubby, and his skin had a healthy tan. The boy had a feminine look, and he liked to get Elara’s attention nonstop. While grabbing the Nine Rings in his hands, Xavier made a heart gesture at her.
Seeing how adorable he was, Elara could feel her heart melting!
Meanwhile, Leonard gloomily looked at Xavier as the latter grinned cheekily. Although Xavier had gone for therapy, he had never smiled so brightly before. However, he would look like a normal child whenever he saw Elara.
When Elara turned around and was about to ask something, Leonard guessed what was on her mind right away.” We were just passing by.”

She was speechless, thinking how observant he was. Not only that, but he was also a man of few words. With that thought in mind, she said to him, “Thank you.”
“What are your plans next?” he asked, being straightforward as usual.
Leonard and Harvey were only two years apart, and when they stood together, no one would be able to tell if one was older than the other. Regardless, Leonard was still a senior to Harvey and was always serious.
While Harvey was like a blade that was always performing its best, Leonard was like a ball of inspiring flame. Anyone would feel at peace when they stood close to Leonardi.
