There's No Turning Back Chapter 242
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

If Elara was still married to Harvey, she would have reminded the Fisher family to pay attention to public relations. However, everything that had happened today was all Harvey's doing. Even if Fisher Corp faced a massive shock, it had nothing to do with her.Elara stood at the ICU entrance. She looked at Beau, who was lying in bed, through the glass. He was surrounded by medical equipment and covered by a snow white blanket. He would be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.In her ears, she could still hear the sound of Beau crying loudly in the hospital when he was two or three years old. He was clinging to her waist, his tiny body buried in her embrace. Back then, she was still his entire world. Abel approached Elara, and she glanced coldly at the blood-stained belt in his hands."The executives from Ohm Technologies have already contacted me. They want you to represent Joss Tech and discuss the acquisition deal with them."Abel stared at Elara's face. He then let out a c

Ethel pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear."Apologies, Madam Foster, but I've received notice from my superiors that they have decided not to grant you the Women's Day Award for the time being."Ethel's heart skipped a beat. She quickly asked, "Did someone report me?"Could Elara really have incriminating evidence against her? Thoughts raced through Ethel's mind. Elara had spent seven years lying low in the Fisher family. Had she been secretly working as a spy?"Madam Foster, your son has already been taken away by the police, and the entirety of the Internet is calling you a wicked mother-in-law. Given the public opinion, we at the Women's Advocacy have no choice but to distance ourselves from you.""Mrs. Harrison…"Before Ethel could finish her sentence, Sabrina Harrison had already hung up.She tried calling back, but before she could, another incoming call appeared on her phone screen. It was from the staff at the Red Cross Foundation. She had a bad feelin

A few days later, Elara, Finnegan, and Lesley gathered at the top-floor office of Summit Business Plaza.This area was part of Capitol's newly developed district. One could see the vast docks and the open sea in the distance when they stood at the floor-to-ceiling windows on the 66th floor. Large cargo ships moved slowly across the horizon.Finnegan had tossed his suit jacket over the back of the couch. He wore only a well-tailored dress shirt without a tie. His collar was casually unbuttoned, revealing bronzed skin and a sharply defined collarbone.His sleeves were rolled up, exposing strong, well-defined forearms that exuded strength. His legs were spread slightly apart as he sat comfortably."Zenith Tech, which I own, has already entered the competition to acquire Joss Tech. However, even if Zenith Tech offers a higher bid than Ohm Technologies, Abel might not choose Zenith Tech. It's very difficult to have Abel abandon Ohm Technologies and sell Joss Tech to the company you supp

Theodore smirked, and the doctor on the phone asked him, "Should we report this to the police?""Do you want the whole world to know I had urological surgery?"The doctor on the other end let out a mischievous laugh. "Your medical records were stolen by a hacker. It won't be long before the elites of the Capitol know about Mr. Theodore Snapp's… performance issues!"The man's long, clean fingers tapped lightly on the steering wheel. He glanced at the rearview mirror, where the Maybach was reflected."Proceed with today's follow-up as scheduled."The voice on the phone sounded concerned. "Aren't you worried…"Theodore stepped on the gas and turned the car around. "This is called 'luring the snake out of its hole.'"Watching Theodore drive away, Harvey got out of his car.The man was dressed in an expensive black suit. His face was cold and his deep eyes were like a dark pool on a winter night, unfathomable and mysterious.Harvey pressed the elevator button. The doors opened, and

Many in the business world believed Theodore wasn't the type to blindly throw money at a woman. His high-profile announcement of a relationship with Elara must have had ulterior motives.Elara met Theodore's gaze, seeing her own reflection in his eyes. She could even hear her heart pounding violently.The skin on her chest seemed to vibrate with each beat, her blood surging so intensely she feared her racing heart would give her away!She instinctively leaned back, pressing herself against the car window to create as much distance from Theodore as possible.Theodore noticed her reaction, and a fleeting sense of loss flashed in his eyes. "Sorry."He took a step back, putting a clear distance between them. Even though they both knew this intimacy was just an act for others, their body's instinctive reactions couldn't deceive each other.A fine layer of sweat formed above Elara's lips. "I'm fine…"Theodore probably thought she was uncomfortable with his sudden closeness, but in rea

Harvey was stunned! He stood frozen in front of the urology department for a few seconds before turning and walking away.Once he got into his car, he contacted a hacker to infiltrate the hospital's urology department's system and retrieve Theodore's medical records.Since it was a private hospital with strong confidentiality measures, the hacker could only access Theodore's records from that day.When Harvey opened the file the hacker sent him, his eyes widened in shock. A few seconds later, Harvey laughed. There was a disdainful snort escaping his throat.Theodore Snapp… was actually impotent!…A few days later, a silver supercar pulled into the underground parking lot of the commercial building where Joss Tech was located.Elara had just unbuckled her seatbelt when Theodore, who was driving, got out of the car. He walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door.The tall, impeccably dressed man in an expensive suit stood outside the door, exuding a charm th

Harvey called Mary. "Do you know what shoe size Elara usually wears?""Huh?" Mary held her phone and looked out the window, half-expecting to see a comet crashing into Earth.This was truly unprecedented—Harvey Fisher was actually asking about Elara Jones' shoe size. But why would he want to know?Relying on a vague memory, Mary gave Harvey Elara's shoe size. Harvey then relayed the size to the sales associate.The sales associate smiled. "Are you buying these for your girlfriend?"Harvey paused. "Why would you think it's for a girlfriend?"The sales associate's cheeks flushed red under the man's gaze. "It must be a new girlfriend, right? You don't even know her shoe size."It felt like a wad of paper had been stuffed into Harvey's throat, making it hard to breathe. He had been married to Elara for seven years, yet he couldn't even remember her birthday.In truth, if he wanted to find out, he could easily access all of Elara's information. But he had never bothered.It seemed

Niamh pouted and reluctantly took off the high heels, tossing them onto the floor."See? I took them off!"Harvey lowered his long, thick lashes, his gaze fixed on the red-soled high heels on the ground."Throw them in the trash!"Niamh was shocked. "But I just bought these heels!"The man's dark eyes gleamed like those of a dangerous beast as he warned Niamh, "From now on, no one is allowed to wear this type of high heel in front of me!""You don't like these heels?" Niamh muttered. "Is it because Elara wore them?"In her mind, Niamh was practically screaming. How had she stepped right into Harvey's minefield?She must have been too engrossed in that video of Harvey, mistakenly thinking he enjoyed being stepped on by Elara in high heels!But on second thought, how could Harvey possibly like that plain Jane, Elara?When Elara stepped on him, he must have felt disgusted and repulsed!Niamh softened her tone. "If you make me throw these heels away, what am I supposed to wear b

"Oh my! Oh my god!" The young men in the private room erupted into exaggerated cheers and laughter."Pigs must be flying—Niamh Jones is wearing high heels! This is too funny! Hahahaha!""Niamh! Did you lose your mind? Why on earth would you strap on stilts and go out like that?"Niamh pulled down the black mask covering her face. She had applied heavy makeup, hoping her still-swollen face would look somewhat presentable under the dim lighting."You guys always say I have no femininity. Well, today I'm going to show you what real femininity looks like!""Oh my goodness!"The wealthy young heirs in the room doubled over with laughter, some even wiping tears from their eyes."Niamh! Come on, take a few steps for us!""Everyone, pay attention! Niamh's showing off her newly installed legs! Hahahaha!" These young heirs treated Niamh as nothing more than a joke.The fact that Niamh could still appear by Harvey's side after the Riverfront Avenue car accident proved that, in Harvey's e

"I saw that woman enter another building. I figured she was meeting a friend or something."Who would've thought the elevator would break down shortly after I got in? I was stuck in there with those bodyguards all night…"Ethel covered her face as she recounted her harrowing experience to her son. When the elevator doors finally opened, Ethel took a step forward and immediately wet herself. It was a scene she never wanted to relive.After returning to the Fisher family, Ethel fired all the bodyguards who had been trapped in the elevator with her. She couldn't bear to see them without being reminded of her humiliating ordeal at Spring Garden.Mary brought over the freshly made chicken noodle soup. Harvey took a bite and frowned."Did you follow Elara's recipe?" Harvey asked.Mary quickly nodded. "Yes, we followed Ms. Jones' instructions precisely—not an ounce more, not an ounce less."But even though the Fisher family's cook strictly adhered to Elara's notes, the chicken noodle s

Ethel was also a bit surprised. Normally, Harvey wouldn't even deign to say Elara's name."Harvey, have you seen Elara recently?"Harvey's expression stiffened slightly, a cold detachment settling over his handsome face. Even in front of his mother, he remained aloof."No."Ethel also thought it was impossible for her son to have any further involvement with Elara."She's actually benefited from this mess—she's now the acting CEO of Joss Tech!"Ethel's tone was dripping with sarcasm. She didn't think much of Elara becoming the acting CEO."She couldn't even manage our household properly, and now she's running a company? Ha!" Ethel couldn't help but laugh.She didn't notice Harvey's frown."Anyway, Joss Tech is going to be sold. Let her play CEO for a few days and get it out of her system."The malice Ethel directed toward Elara was palpable, making Harvey feel slightly uncomfortable."Mom, did you go to Spring Garden recently…" Harvey almost asked if she had gone to Spring G

This further proved that his disappearance and reappearance were entirely orchestrated by Leonard.Harvey walked into the dining room. As he looked at the familiar breakfast spread, he suddenly felt as if an eternity had passed."Harvey, you're back," Ethel said as she walked in, having not seen her son in a while."Mom," Harvey greeted her with a neutral tone.Ethel sat down and joined him for the meal. Harvey then picked up his fork, and in front of him was his usual Melcinian-style breakfast.However, he had no appetite. He tried taking a bite of the sandwich, but all he could think about was the bowl of soup Elara had brought him."Make me a bowl of chicken noodle soup," Harvey instructed Mary."What?" Mary hesitated. "That'll take at least half an hour…"Mary glanced at Ethel, who asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to eat that? Soup isn't filling. Melcinian food is much more nutritious than Euconian food!"Harvey said to Mary, "Go make it."Mary nodded. "Alrigh
