There's No Turning Back Chapter 238
A bright smile spread across Elara's face."Today, I returned to the track driving Corona. I revealed my identity because I want to show everyone that even as a mother, I can still shine on the racetrack."As long as you press the accelerator, face every challenge without fear, and move forward, it's never too late!"Niamh placed one hand on her hip, her mouth hanging open as she blinked in disbelief. "How could you possibly be Luna?"This had to be a joke! Was Elara seriously trying to impersonate Luna?"She is Luna!"A deep male voice suddenly rang out. Niamh turned toward the source and saw that it was Harvey who had spoken. She was stunned, all while panic creeping over her."Harvey, have you been fooled by her too..."Harvey clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. For the past few minutes, even after the race had ended, he had remained in a state of utter disbelief.Wave after wave of shock crashed over him, leaving him completely unprepared, di

"Isn't it normal for kids to admire strength?" Niamh spoke up in Beau's defense."What's wrong with him wanting a stronger, more capable mother?"Elara shot her a look of pure disdain. "With a brain smaller than a sunflower seed, you think you're worthy of speaking to me?""Why, you little…"Niamh clenched her fists, fuming, but she had to maintain her image and couldn't curse out loud with so many people watching.She turned to Harvey, silently pleading for his support. Meanwhile, Harvey's expression was heavy. His chest was tight with emotions he couldn't find a way to release.The sun burned fiercely overhead, yet the air that filled his lungs felt like icy blades slicing through his nasal passages.His voice was cold, like the surface of a frozen lake as he said, "Your reason for revealing your true identity in front of all these people, wasn't it just to make us see you differently?"Elara let out a sharp, chilly laugh. "I don't even like you anymore. Can you stop flatteri

There had been countless times when he fell, and Elara would always rush over to pick him up without hesitation. Now, as Beau turned and was expecting to see her, his crying came to an abrupt stop when he realized the person behind him was Niamh.Niamh wiped the tears from his face. "Beau, don't be sad. I'll take you for a ride on my bike. We don't need to care about those people!"Beau sniffled and nodded. "Niamh, you treat me the best."Niamh grinned. "Of course! I'm your second dad! If I don't treat you well, who will? Let's go!"She took Beau's hand and led him to the parking lot, where she placed a helmet on his head before starting her motorcycle. The powerful machine, like a steel beast, roared to life.Just as they were about to exit the parking lot, a group of police officers appeared, heading straight for Niamh. Recognizing her by her racing suit, one of them immediately pulled out his badge."Niamh Jones! Stop the vehicle!"However, Niamh slammed the throttle down to

Harvey didn't look at Theodore. Instead, his proud gaze fell directly on Elara. "I'll cover Corona's repair costs."To him, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a real problem.Elara looked at him and asked, "She's taken a five-year-old child on a heavy motorcycle multiple times. Have you never been concerned about that?"The man frowned. "And in what capacity are you questioning me about my son?"Elara let out a cold laugh.Harvey continued, "Beau ran off after you scolded him, and the only one who went after him to comfort him was Niamh. I trust her driving skills."His tone grew even more indifferent as he added, "But as for you, whenever something happens, you have to escalate it to the highest level."You'd call the police and make it seem like the whole world owes you something. Is that the only way you'll feel joy?"Just as Elara was about to respond, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her like an invisible force crashing into her body. Her limbs tensed into spasm

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

Theodore spoke calmly, "I'll count to three. Decide by then, or neither of you gets the antidote."With a smirk, he looked at Harvey and began, "Three…"A vein pulsed visibly beneath Harvey's forehead. Theodore was clearly toying with them by offering the antidote."Give it to Niamh!" Harvey's voice was ice. He refused to let Niamh take advantage of the drug's effects to maul him freely."Give it to Harvey!" Niamh shouted.Harvey felt his nerves throbbing beneath his skin, as if his blood pressure might burst through."Why the hell should I take it? So I can stay conscious while you assault me?"Niamh flinched at his harsh words; that was exactly what she'd been thinking.After berating Niamh, Harvey turned his fury on Theodore. "You're the one behind this! You had Elara's assistant lure me here using her name!"His voice was firm, convinced of his accusation. Sweat dripped down Harvey's face as he panted heavily, like a caged beast growling at Theodore.Theodore smirked and

Niamh stood up and moved toward him. Sensing her approach, Harvey whirled around to face her with a guarded expression."Don't bother." His voice was hard, his entire body radiating wariness toward her.Niamh didn't understand his refusal. "Let me get your phone! Then we can call for help!"Harvey didn't believe a word she said—he'd already seen the desire in her eyes. He knew Niamh had feelings for him.This woman would gladly use the drug as an excuse to devour him whole. His phone was in his pants pocket. If he let Niamh reach for it, who knew what lines she might cross?Harvey pressed his back against the door. "Stop! Don't move!"He tried to command her with his voice. "Stay away from me!""Harvey! Are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself?" Niamh couldn't suppress a smirk.She pretended to reassure him. "Don't worry about hurting me. If you keep holding back, you'll only hurt yourself!"Before she could finish speaking, the drug's effects surged through her, d

The moment he heard the name "Elara", Harvey's eyes widened in shock. That name pierced his heart like countless tiny needles, sending waves of pain through his entire body.Niamh cupped his face in her hands. "Harvey, I want to save you! Please, I'm begging you—save me too!"Harvey tried to lift his leg, but with Niamh straddling him, he couldn't shake her off."Get off!" he roared as Niamh's face loomed closer in his vision.With a sudden twist, Harvey rolled violently, sending both of them crashing to the ground."Ahh!" Niamh screamed in pain while Harvey scrambled up in a panic, his body writhing as he desperately put distance between them.Niamh lay on the floor, writhing. "Harvey! How could you do this to me? It hurts!"Harvey glared down at her with an icy gaze. She was barely covered by scraps of fabric. Then, his heart lurched violently, pounding so hard it felt like it might burst from his chest.His vision blurred. As Niamh cried out in pain, her face twisted—and for

Harvey staggered back several steps, his chest heaving as he gasped for air. Beads of sweat rolled down his brow, pooling in the hollows of his eyes. The moisture blurred his vision, yet the window remained intact, without even a hairline crack.Suddenly, Niamh wrapped her arms around him from behind. Her hands roamed freely over his body."Harvey... I can't take it anymore..." she said as she reached for his suit jacket, trying to peel it off.Harvey twisted violently, attempting to shake her off. "Let go!"He growled through clenched teeth, but with his hands restrained behind his back, Niamh easily stripped off his outer jacket.The suit jacket caught around his wrists as Niamh slithered like a snake to his front, looping her arms around his neck. She wore barely any clothes now as she stood on tiptoe to reach his jawline.As she pressed closer, Harvey's stomach churned with overwhelming nausea. He stumbled backward in panic, but Niamh clung to him like a leech as her entire b

"Don't touch me!" Harvey shouted.Nonetheless, Niamh only intensified her efforts, leaping onto him in an attempt to pin him down."Harvey! I'm trying to help you! I'm already undressed! Why won't you take yours off?""No! Let me go!"The more he resisted, the more excited Niamh became. "Why are you making that face? Are you afraid I'll devour you?"Niamh fumbled with Harvey's suit buttons but couldn't undo them.Growing impatient, she snapped, "Ugh! Stop squirming! If you keep wriggling like this, I can't promise what I might do!"Harvey's scalp prickled with alarm as warning bells blared in his head. With a powerful kick of his legs, he sent Niamh tumbling off the couch."Ahhh!" Niamh crashed to the floor with a pained cry.Harvey lay panting on the sofa, staring wide-eyed at Niamh sprawled on the ground. "You've gone absolutely mental!"He even began suspecting Niamh might have orchestrated this trapped-in-a-room scenario. But then reconsidered as Niamh wasn't clever enoug
There's No Turning Back Chapter 373
Niamh's eyes went wide. It wasn't until Harvey said it out loud that everything finally clicked for her. Still stunned, she asked, "Harvey, why are you even here?"Harvey's face was grim as he forced himself to calm down. He laid it out step by step. "Elara's assistant told me she wanted to speak with me alone and asked me to wait for her here."Niamh's gaze dropped to his hands, which had been cuffed behind his back. "Harvey, your hands… Why are you handcuffed? Did Elara order someone to do this?"His expression darkened like scorched iron. He was so agitated and felt like a complete idiot!He didn't even want to think about what had gone through his mind—why he'd believed Elara might still be into that kind of thing. He'd walked right into her trap!The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. Flames of humiliation and anger seemed to blaze through his chest and gut.He looked around, searching for the key, and urged Niamh, "Help me find the key!""Oh—okay." Nia

Harvey looked up toward the door. His vision blurred around the edges, as if shrouded in mist. Why couldn't he see clearly?He blinked hard. The woman who entered was already standing right in front of him."Harvey." Niamh's legs gave out as she collapsed onto him.Harvey tried to push her away, but his hands were bound behind his back—he couldn't move them. All he could do was scoot his body backward.As if her bones had melted, Niamh slumped against him like a pile of limp clay with her weight dragging downward."Niamh Jones! What the hell are you doing?"Harvey growled, but Niamh's eyes were glazed. She clutched her chest, panting as she looked at him with flushed cheeks."I'm so hot… my body's all tingly."Harvey's gaze turned icy. "Did you take something you weren't supposed to?"Niamh's head was foggy. "I just had a little drink...""Who gave it to you?" Harvey asked sharply."A waiter at the reception," she murmured, sniffing as she looked up. "This room smells really

Someone approached and leaned in close to Harvey's ear, speaking in a low voice. "Mr. Fisher, Ms. Jones would like to speak with you privately."The person delivering the message was Cassie. Harvey froze for a moment. He glanced around the room, only to find that Elara was no longer there."Where is she?" he asked.Cassie replied, "Ms. Jones is waiting in the office outside. Please follow me."Harvey then followed her out.Just moments ago, Elara had barely spoken to him in front of all those people. In fact, she hadn't even spared him a glance. And now, she wanted to see him alone?His breathing grew heavier. So, she really was a fickle woman, juggling both sides! She was ignoring him in front of Theodore, then summoning him in secret?Elara's behavior when it came to men completely shattered Harvey's expectations. She had probably divorced him just to throw herself into total freedom.How could she act like this—flirting left and right? Both Theodore and Lesley had clearly fa
There's No Turning Back Chapter 370
"I didn't!!" Harvey was nearly driven mad with anger—how dare Theodore insult him like that? What a vicious man!"Elara, you have to believe me!"Harvey had never begged anyone like this before. For the first time, he felt the sting of being unable to defend himself. He stood there, feeling completely isolated.Behind Elara, the wealthy elites began whispering among themselves."Did Mr. Fisher even get hurt? He looks totally fine. Meanwhile, Mr. Snapp looks like a wreck.""Obviously, Mr. Snapp's the one who got bullied here.""This isn't the first time Mr. Fisher targeted Mr. Snapp. I saw him throw a punch at him once.""I heard Mr. Fisher even poured a whole bottle of hand soap on Mr. Snapp in the restroom before. He must've done the same this time, dumping wine on him just because he doesn't like him.""This is clearly about Ms. Jones. Mr. Fisher's just trying to steal her back from Mr. Snapp! And now he's trying to get her alone in a room to 'show his injuries'? Please—he's
