There's No Turning Back Chapter 226
Niamh's grand entrance drew too much attention, causing the passing staff members to glance over."Who is she? All this spectacle, but she doesn't even look like a celebrity."One staff member craned their neck for a better look, but they only appeared disappointed and confused after recognizing Niamh's face.Another worker crossed their arms, scoffing. "She's just the amateur racer the sponsors forced into the exhibition race—Niamh Jones."The International Racing Championship's exhibition race was not an official competition. However, the drivers featured during the opening ceremony were either internationally renowned professionals, retired champions with major titles under their belts, or influential managers and team owners who had made significant contributions to the racing industry.Only figures like that deserved a spot in the exhibition race to help build anticipation for the event. Niamh, however, had neither achievements nor fame.When her name appeared on the list, o

"Luna! It's so nice to meet you!" Beau's clear voice rang out, but the moment he saw the person sitting inside the lounge, he froze.Elara had just been about to step into the dressing room when her gaze met Beau's. His excitement vanished instantly. His face stiffened, and he stared at her, dumbfounded."Why are you here?"Behind Niamh and Beau was a swarm of people. A photographer immediately turned the camera lens toward Elara and Lesley.Seeing so many people blocking the doorway, Lesley panicked slightly and instinctively edged closer to Elara."Elara, what are you doing in Luna's lounge?" Niamh's shock made her voice jump an octave.Meanwhile, Beau studied Lesley carefully, his eyes widening. "Are you Luna?"As soon as he spoke, he scratched his head in confusion.Lesley was wearing an oversized gunmetal-gray tracksuit. Her tall, lean build, sharp facial features, and extremely short-cropped hair gave off an androgynous look.At first glance, most people assumed she was

Beau knew his words would be a thorn in Elara's heart. He intended to use that thorn to stab her.After speaking, Beau looked at Elara like a victor, waiting to see her show pain or sorrow. After all, the ones closest to you would always know how to hurt you the most.A woman like Elara, who was born in the countryside and utterly clueless about racing, was never worthy of being the mother of the Fishers' heir."Beau, what if I win first place in the exhibition race?" Niamh narrowed her eyes, unable to hide the growing chill in her smirk.Beau's words had thoroughly annoyed her. She had poured her heart into him and spent so much effort trying to win his favor.Yet at the mere mention of Luna, Beau completely forgot his promise to help her become his new mommy.After that night at the bottom of Mistvale Ranch's slope, the strong and invincible image Beau had of Niamh had already crumbled. What kind of strong person would get spanked by their dad?Even he had only been slapped te

"Do you know who I am?" Niamh screamed as she flashed her participant ID at the staff, demanding they take a good look.However, the staff members exchanged looks of awkward disbelief after glancing at her credentials. Niamh's name was already infamous in this competition."Of course, we recognize you. You're Ms. Niamh Jones, the so-called amateur racer without a racing license. Since this is your first time participating in an international event, allow me to educate you."The staff member enunciated each word clearly. "Do not trespass into other racers' lounges!"Scanning the room, the staff then asked, "Who let you all in?"The lighting crew and photographers instinctively turned to Niamh. She puffed up her chest and declared, "They're with me!"The staff's patience snapped, their voice dropping into an aggravated growl. "The race is about to start. You probably brought this whole crew here to disturb Luna!"As soon as those words fell, a loud bang echoed through the room. A

Elara's brow furrowed slightly, a fleeting trace of worry passing across her face.She had been trying to correct Beau's temperament for the past five years, but everyone in the Fisher household reinforced the belief that he was always right. Just because he was the eldest grandson and future heir of Fisher Corp, he was made to believe that no matter what he did, he was never wrong.Once he developed a bias against his own mother, a mountain had formed between them—one that seemed impossible to move.Elara then walked over to the cabinet. She picked up her helmet before saying to Lesley, "Turn on your phone's flashlight for me."Lesley switched on her phone's flashlight and stepped closer. She asked, "What's wrong?"Elara directed Lesley to shine the light inside the helmet. The moment the beam hit the interior, several tiny insects that were smaller than grains of sand, flew out. The bugs collided with the bright light, making them somewhat visible.Lesley stared in shock. "How

Hearing footsteps, Harvey turned his head and saw a woman in a racing suit approaching. The bright daylight streamed in from behind him, casting light over his shoulders.He recognized the helmet in her hand—it was Luna's signature helmet. The deep midnight blue surface was adorned with a golden moon surrounded by stars.Meanwhile, a large shadow obscured the upper half of her body. But as she stepped out of the darkness, Harvey instinctively held his breath.Luna wasn't wearing her helmet. Which meant he was about to see her real face!Elara also found it unexpected. Was Harvey waiting for her on purpose? She then came to a stop, remaining within the shadow.The man turned fully toward her, one hand tucked into the pocket of his tailored trousers. His posture was upright, broad-shouldered, and imposing. Under the perfectly fitted custom suit, every line of his physique seemed meticulously sculpted."I didn't expect you to be someone who doesn't keep their word, Luna. You didn't
There's No Turning Back Chapter 232
Luna's chin was small and delicately rounded, and her face was a soft, full oval. Her lips, which were like ripe cherries, contrasted against her straight, elegant nose and gentle, expressive brows. She had swept her dark hair into a neat bun, with only a few wisps falling lightly around her ears.Harvey knew that face too well. He froze completely, his entire body stiffening as his eyes widened in disbelief, staring straight at Elara. His mind went blank.Why did Luna have the exact same face as Elara? How ridiculous! Was he still trapped in some absurd, fevered dream?Thousands of spectators roared from the grandstands, their voices surging like a tidal wave, crashing into him with deafening force. The shock jarred him back to reality. Elara, on the other hand, didn't even glance at him.She walked right past, treating him as if he weren't even there. Harvey reacted instantly, surging forward and grabbing her wrist."What are you doing here?"His gaze burned with doubt and disb

Harvey lunged forward, reaching for Corona's door, intending to drag Elara out of the car. Several staff members immediately rushed in, positioning themselves between him and the vehicle."Mr. Fisher, the race is about to start!""Mr. Fisher, please do not interfere with Luna's preparations."Harvey snapped, "The person in Corona is Elara Jones! She can't possibly be Luna!"The words weren't just meant for them—they were meant for himself. The car door locked shut, and Elara drove Corona toward the track."Move!" Harvey, who was strong enough to hold his own, shoved aside the staff blocking his way and ran toward the edge of the track.Elara warmed up Corona but never stepped out. As soon as Corona rolled onto the track, the crowd in the grandstands erupted in cheers."Luna! Luna!" Tens of thousands of racing fans shouted her name.Their devotion was evident. As Corona approached the starting line, many were overcome with emotion, and some were even shedding tears.But why had

Harold smiled as he explained, "Of course, they're talking about the most prominent figure in all of Capitol."Although Angie had lived in Melcina for years, she still kept up with the major gossip surrounding Capitol's elite families.And when it came to the most famous heir of the Snapp family, none other than Theodore came to mind. His reputation was practically legendary—everything he touched turned to gold. It was as if, with just a flick of his fingers, he could rise to the top of any industry."Does he have any business dealings with Quantum Tech?" she asked.Harold replied, "Ms. Price is interested in having Mr. Snapp's firm, Polaris Law Firm, take over Quantum Tech's legal affairs."The moment Harold said this, Angie understood that Priscilla clearly had an ulterior motive. She must be looking to shift her business focus back to Eucon, and using Quantum Tech to pull Theodore into her orbit was the first step."So, that means Mr. Snapp's visit is to discuss a legal partne

When Angie realized what she'd been saying, she quickly apologized, "Sorry, Leonard, for making you listen to my complaints all this time.""It's fine." Leonard's cool voice resonated like a struck bronze bell, sending subtle vibrations through her heart.This was the first time Angie had managed to keep Leonard on the phone for so long, though their entire conversation revolved around Elara.Leonard showing such rare patience made Angie's lips curve upward in delight."Can I call you again in the future?" She ventured the bold question, though anxiety churned inside."You may call if it's regarding Quantum Tech matters."He had glimpsed an Elara who was completely different from the respectful woman he knew through Angie's words. So, she had a temper too—how intriguing.Angie's smile stretched ear to ear as she continued, "Leonard, thank you for listening to my grievances.""Oh, right."Suddenly remembering something, Angie added, "Quantum Tech has a front-end project collabo

Angie visibly flushed with embarrassment, and the other employees fell silent. Some immediately lowered their heads to focus on their meals, while others held their breath, pressing their lips together to control their expressions."Angie's been abroad too long—she's not used to strict workplace hierarchies," Samuel defended her, raising his voice."Elara, now that you're CEO, you just can't wait for everyone to bow and scrape before you, huh? You might not realize this, but modern workplaces emphasize equality—we all address each other as colleagues now."His mocking tone was unmistakable. As the eldest son of the Quinn family, he clearly didn't take Elara seriously.Elara met his disdainful gaze. "Fine."She continued calmly, "Then let's abolish internal titles at Quantum Tech. All employees will be leveled equally, with salaries determined by performance. Anyone above L4 will be downgraded to L4, so there's true equality across the board. That's the only way to eliminate workpl

When Elara came to her senses, she noticed Leonard was already gone—and Angie had disappeared with him.The nature of Leonard and Angie's relationship was undeniably intriguing, but since Leonard chose not to share, Elara felt it would be improper to pry into her elder's private affairs.She then joined the other Quantum Tech employees in seeing off the city officials. Harold immediately seized the chance to cozy up to her. "Elara, I'm dying to know—how did you become Quantum Tech's leader?"He continued eagerly, "I've been helping out at Quantum Tech recently. Ohm Technologies and my lab are collaborating on a project with them."Elara merely nodded, showing no interest in further conversation.Undeterred, Harold pressed on. "Let me introduce you to everyone at Quantum Tech."His enthusiasm was purely for show—he wanted the company to know he had special connections with Elara."You know Mr. Quinn, right?" he asked, making introductions.Elara glanced at the sharp-featured man

"Elara, you're the developer of the Prism project? Why have I never heard you mention this before?" Harold blurted out in confusion.After processing this information, he suddenly remembered Priscilla's second statement. He blinked, wondering if he'd misheard.He immediately turned to Samuel beside him. "Did I hear that wrong? It's so noisy here—what did Ms. Price just say? Who's Quantum Tech's leader?"Samuel's expression stiffened visibly.Meanwhile, Angie stared at Elara with suspicion. "What kind of deal did you make with Ms. Price? How could you possibly be Quantum Tech's lead?"Her instincts told her there had to be some mistake. She'd investigated Elara earlier. She was just a woman who dropped out of her direct PhD program at Capitol University to get married and become a housewife, without any substantial work experience.Someone like Elara might qualify as a janitor at Quantum Tech at best."What qualifications does she have to lead Quantum Tech?" Samuel muttered under

"My apologies, Ms. Price, the alarms in the data center are too loud. Let's switch to a video call."As she spoke, Elara connected her phone to the projection system. Priscilla tapped her screen to enable video, and in the next second, her face appeared on the large display.Everyone looked up at the screen in surprise. Angie even gasped. "Ms. Price?" From Priscilla's perspective, her phone only showed Elara's face through the camera feed."Ms. Price, I'm already in the data center. Please give your instructions," Elara continued.Her tone remained perfectly neutral. Priscilla responded, "You're Quantum Tech's leader. What professional guidance could I possibly give you?"Elara turned on the speakerphone, amplifying Priscilla's voice through the room. Amidst the urgent wailing of alarms, Priscilla's words sounded almost surreal. The surrounding crowd struggled to process what was happening."Elara Jones, do you realize city officials are inspecting Quantum Tech today? With the

Angie led the group into the digital data center."Good afternoon, Ms. Shelton." The employees greeted her with deep respect, their gazes filled with admiration.Angie maintained an aloof demeanor as she asked, "How's the testing on Prism's data coming along?""The basic framework is stable now. We're currently fine-tuning the details of Prism's database."Angie nodded. "Run the Prism system for our guests.""Uh... About that—"The staff hesitated. "We haven't fully mastered this framework yet..."Angie frowned. "After all this time, you still haven't figured it out?"Seeing their uneasy expressions, she sighed. "This framework's structure is elementary. Fine, I'll do it myself."The researchers' eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this."The Prism model's framework design is incredibly complex—it completely defies conventional understanding. Yet Ms. Shelton mastered the entire codebase so quickly after joining!""No wonder she's Aempleforth Street's most sought-after g

Samuel sneered. "I bet she's just clinging to Prof. Fisher by exploiting her past connection with Harvey."Harold pressed his lips together, silently agreeing with Samuel's words.As Angie finished her introduction of Quantum Tech, she took advantage of the officials' hushed discussions to glance at Elara. Remembering the photos Rosalie had sent her—showing Elara painstakingly building rapport with Xavier—Angie let out a cold, mocking laugh through her nose.She strode directly to Leonard's side to ask, "How's Xavier doing?"Elara was slightly surprised by the question. Angie bore some resemblance to Xavier, so she wondered what exactly their relationship was.Leonard ignored her inquiry and instead asked, "How long do you plan to stay at Quantum Tech?"Their exchange suggested familiarity."My goal is to join Dragonheart!" said Angie.She met Leonard's gaze with blazing confidence, but his expression remained as cold and detached as an eternal glacier.Craig interjected, "Pro

The mayor, Craig Strickland, was both surprised and delighted by Elara's words. "So, Quantum Tech has made such rapid progress on the digital project under Ms. Jones' leadership!"He turned to his secretary and ordered, "Clear my schedule for the next two hours. I'll be accompanying Ms. Jones to inspect Quantum Tech."Elara's voice drifted to Leonard's ear. "Would Mr. Fisher like to join us as well?"Leonard let out a soft scoff. "You do enjoy making trouble for people."Elara volunteered eagerly, "I can push your wheelchair!"Only after she had wheeled Leonard onto the MPV did he speak again. "Do you plan to use me as your shield at Quantum Tech too?""Mr. Fisher, I need you." Her voice, that was soft yet earnes,t sent a ripple of something unnameable through Leonard's chest."I need your guidance. I want you to watch over me a little longer."She settled into the seat beside him as the MPV door slid shut. Leonard's expression tightened imperceptibly, his right index finger re
