There's No Turning Back Chapter 239
"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

"This is a sterile ward, kiddo. You can't go inside."Merida asked the nurse, "When will Beau wake up?"The nurse comforted her in a gentle voice. "I think it will be very soon."Elara walked over and saw Merida squatting in the corner of the ICU hallway. She was holding watercolor pens and drawing something on a piece of paper.She watched as Merida stuck the paper, which had a drawing of some flowers on it, on the ICU door. Merida then clasped her hands together and closed her eyes, wearing an expression of deep sincerity. Elara felt a swell of emotion."I hope Beau wakes up. Only then can he apologize to Mommy."Elara stroked her daughter's face. She didn't care whether Beau apologized to her or not, but he had once been the person closest to Merida.They were twins and were once inseparable. This was Merida's first time facing a seriously injured Beau. With death being so close to her loved one, it was enough to make her fearful for a long time.Elara knelt on the ground

"Mr. Snapp, congratulations on acquiring Jones Group.""Mr. Snapp, does this acquisition mean that things are getting serious between you and Ms. Jones?"The moment news broke of Theodore and Elara's relationship, it caused a stir across all of Capitol's elite circles. Many business figures attended the event not just for appearances, but in hopes of catching some firsthand gossip.Theodore stood with one hand in his slacks pocket, the hem of his suit jacket creased slightly from the gesture."If Elara and I have any good news to share in the future, we'll be sure to inform you all right away."At that moment, the crowd immediately sensed how close he and Elara must be. They clearly really were dating!"Fantastic! We'll be waiting for your announcement!""Ah, Ms. Jones and her luck in love! Anyone who sees it can't help but say—what a blessed life she leads!"As the crowd buzzed with teasing remarks about Theodore and Elara, a portion of the chatter suddenly fell silent. The pe

Beau opened his mouth wide, his wails echoing through the empty basketball gym. He clutched the container of oranges Elara had given him, but he looked like a small, abandoned animal."Mr. Beau!" The bodyguard hurriedly tried to comfort him, but had no idea how to stop Beau's crying.Harvey walked over. "Beau Fisher, why are you crying?"He was annoyed by his son's sudden emotional breakdown. "You're five years old. What's there to cry about?"Earlier, Harvey had seen Elara give Beau the container of oranges. As soon as Elara left, Beau started crying. Harvey now reached out to take the takeout box from Beau's lap."No!" Beau shouted.He immediately leaned forward to shield the oranges with his body, as if they were his most precious treasure.Harvey's expression turned cold as he warned, "Stop crying!"He didn't know how to comfort a child; he was just frustrated that Beau was crying in front of so many people.Afraid that Harvey would take the oranges away, Beau quickly grab

Harvey practiced with Merida for over an hour. By the end of it, his chest heaved violently, and his breathing was heavy and labored. The sound of it was echoing clearly in the empty basketball gym.Sweat poured from his head like a flood, drenching his dark hair, which clung to his forehead. It even softens his usually sharp features. It looked like he was standing in the rain as sweat streamed down his cheeks.Harvey had already taken off his jacket and the sweater vest he'd been wearing underneath. His navy-blue moisture-wicking shirt was soaked through, and the fabric was darkened by sweat.He bent slightly at the waist, relying on sheer willpower to keep himself from collapsing. But his legs felt like they were made of cement, and he could barely lift them to walk.Merida jumped down from the raised platforms. She was still in her performance outfit, her cheeks flushed and tiny strands of hair sticking to her sweaty forehead.She ran over to Elara, who handed her Merida's per

Less than half a minute into the practice session—"Ugh!"Harvey was forced back a step by Merida as a low groan escaped his throat. He felt like his ribs were about to break!Every muscle, connected to his nerves, throbbed with pain. Harvey quickly felt a metallic taste rise in his throat, and he choked, coughing violently.Merida, standing on the raised platform, immediately asked, "Mr. Harvey, are you okay?"Harvey clutched his chest, surprised that after taking a kick from Merida, he could barely straighten up.Before he could respond, a cool, mocking voice cut in. "Mr. Harvey, are you sure you can handle this?"Harvey turned sharply to see Theodore leaning against the wall. His posture was casual as he smirked at Harvey. His lips were curled into a grin, and his eyes filled with mischief.Everyone knew what Harvey's intentions were when he suddenly showed up to practice with Merida. But neither Elara nor Finnegan stopped him because they were well aware of the consequences

Finnegan was in charge of keeping the rhythm with a pair of drumsticks. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and his tanned skin glistened with sweat under the bright white lights, giving off a metallic sheen.The muscles on his arms were layered and defined, and his biceps were as solid as iron when flexed.Theodore narrowed his fox-like eyes and couldn't help but smirk. "Is your brother planning to perform on stage with Merida?"Elara nodded. "There's going to be some choreographed interaction between them. The routine Merida's preparing requires teamwork with my brother."Theodore let out a soft snort. It seemed Finnegan had put in a lot of effort for Merida this time. He teased, "Once your brother steps on stage, he's definitely going to gain a lot of admirers."Elara smiled. At that moment, Finnegan turned and began guiding Merida through a complex tap sequence on the raised platforms.Merida's feet tapped rapidly, but she stumbled slightly, losing her balance. Finnegan quickly steadi

Afterward, Lesley and Elara walked downstairs with Merida.Lesley said, "I'm a bit confused now. Is Harvey trying to get custody of Merida, or does he regret divorcing you?"Elara's voice was calm. "I don't care what he thinks. Every day since leaving him and the Fisher family has been a day of freedom for me."Lesley voiced her concern, "I'm just worried Harvey might continue to cling to you and cause trouble."Elara frowned slightly, having considered this possibility herself.Lesley suggested, "Why don't you apply for a restraining order to keep him out of your life?"Elara replied, "He hasn't been violent, so a restraining order wouldn't be granted. Besides, Harvey is the type to go to extremes. If we restrict him, he'll only push back harder."Elara still felt a lingering fear when she remembered the time Harvey had abducted her.She concluded, "When dealing with Harvey Fisher, I think it's better to manage him than to block him. If he wants to show up in front of me, let

Merida's voice was innocent and pure, while the teachers standing behind Harvey exchanged amused, gossipy looks.Harvey froze, offering only a pale explanation, "I didn't…"He glanced up at Elara, and there was a wave of frustration bubbling up inside him. "Daddy has never slept with Niamh! That absolutely never happened!"His words seemed directed more at Elara, and he watched her reaction closely. However, Harvey's explanation still didn't resolve the logic in Merida's mind."But Aunt Niamh is your best friend, and Lesley is Mommy's best friend. Isn't it the same thing?""It's not the same!" Harvey denied.Merida puffed out her cheeks, her eyes filled with defiance as she looked at Harvey.She even began to lecture him, "Mr. Harvey, you can't be lenient with yourself and strict with others. That's just being hypocritical!"Harvey's breath hitched. This kind of topic, involving adults' private lives, was something he didn't know how to explain to a five-year-old.Suddenly, he

To emphasize his role and make his daughter feel the power of having a father, Harvey persisted."I can get you a professional team from. If you want to perform a dance, Daddy will connect you with top dancers from around the world. Merida, no matter what, you're my daughter, and I want you to rely on me as much as you need!"Merida looked momentarily stunned. In her memory, Harvey had never shown her this much concern before. For a moment, his sudden care left her feeling overwhelmed.She listened as Harvey said, "Merida, I hope you can try to lean on me. I know I've neglected you before, but you're only five. I hope it's not too late for me to make it up to you!"Merida couldn't tell how much of what Harvey said was genuine, nor could she analyze his underlying intentions.She simply responded to him based on her instincts and feelings. "All I want is for Mr. Harvey not to create obstacles for me and Mommy."Harvey immediately denied it. "Why would I create obstacles for you…"

Elara glared coldly at Harvey. It was clear Harvey already knew everything that had happened in the auditorium earlier.The elevator malfunctioning, Harvey showing up here—his intentions were obvious.Elara's grip on Merida's hand tightened, her palm sweating. Harvey had truly lost his mind! He kept calling Merida his daughter, yet he didn't care about her safety at all.But without concrete evidence, he would never admit to having anything to do with the elevator malfunction.Elara suppressed the anger bubbling inside her. "Did you know about Rosalie targeting Merida?"Harvey replied, "She's been spending a lot of time with my mother lately…"In other words, Rosalie's bold behavior at school had Ethel's backing and encouragement behind it. Just then, the elevator doors opened, and several teachers from the arts department stepped out.They greeted Harvey respectfully, "Mr. Fisher."Merida recognized them. When she was in the lower grade, these teachers had been judges at the t
