There's No Turning Back Chapter 243
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, do you like me?" Elara's question was direct and bold.Theodore's earlobes instantly turned red. He propped both hands on the coffee table and lowered his head. His long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly.However, the laughter he couldn't suppress had already spilled from his throat."Yeah, I like you," he replied. He looked directly at Elara as he said that.His eyes were as bright as the stars. Elara subconsciously held her breath, not wanting to miss the brilliant light in his eyes.Theodore's gaze softened as he looked at her. At that moment, the whole world fell silent."Do you know when I first found myself drawn to you?"Elara tilted her head in thought. "Was it when I took first place in every competition as Luna?"Theodore smiled. "It was when you stood on the podium at Capitol University, full of confidence; When you sped across the racetrack at full throttle; When you ran headlong into love without hesitation; When you juggled your life between school a

"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

Mary was baffled by Harvey's question. "Sir, you were on a business trip."Now it was Harvey's turn to be stunned. A cold, grim expression settled on his face as he asked, "Who told you I was on a business trip?"The question made Mary feel an indescribable sense of unease. "Huh? I was told you were away on business these past few days."Harvey finally understood. This had to be an excuse Leonard came up with for him.During the seven days he was imprisoned, no one in the Fisher family had noticed he was missing. Everyone thought he was away on a business trip.Harvey entered the study.He pulled up the surveillance footage from the Fisher residence's main gate and saw that late last night, Hugo Turner, one of his drivers, had helped him out of a car.Mary and other staff had come out to greet him, but none of them noticed anything unusual about Harvey's condition.He questioned Hugo, who said he had received a call from Harvey and picked him up from the Golden Lion Club at 11:

"Harvey has a fever," said the bodyguard, Aiden Calhoun."Did you give him medicine?" Elara's voice was indifferent.Aiden replied, "He refused to take it. When we tried to force-feed him, he bit my colleague's hand."He added, "He's demanding to see you."Aside from the second day after Harvey was locked up, when Elara had brought him food, she hadn't gone to see the man since. Elara realized that beating him didn't bring her any satisfaction.Back when she watched Priscilla trample over Harold in front of her, she had wondered, "Does hitting someone really feel that good?"It must have felt amazing, given how much Abel idolized violence. But after trying it on Harvey, Elara found it utterly dull.She couldn't derive any pleasure or satisfaction from trampling or bullying others. Even though Harvey was now a prisoner, she couldn't be bothered to spare him a glance.In fact, she found the stench emanating from him repulsive.Aiden told her, "These past few days, he hasn't eate

A housewife with such ambition—it was unexpected.By allying with Theodore and publicly announcing their relationship, Elara aimed to use Theodore's enterprises to completely swallow up Jones Group.Now, as acting CEO, Elara would undoubtedly accelerate the acquisition process for Joss Tech. It wouldn't be long before she held the official signing ceremony for the acquisition.Thinking this, Priscilla curled her lips into a smile. No prey she set her sights on had ever escaped her grasp.She hadn't initially paid much attention to the minor matter of acquiring Joss Tech, but then she encountered Elara, this unorthodox housewife.Since Elara insisted on pushing forward with the acquisition deal with Snapp Group, Priscilla wouldn't hold back! Priscilla chuckled softly and picked up her phone to call Elara.Hearing Elara's voice on the line, Priscilla spoke, "Elara, I've decided to suspend our collaboration on the new tech project."Elara's voice came through, "Ms. Price, what do y

Niamh pointed at Elara, her voice urgent and frantic. "Dad! All of this was orchestrated by Elara to ruin us!"Niamh's face was swollen to the point of resembling a pig's head. When she spoke, her words were slurred and barely intelligible.Her words struck a chord in Abel, making his heart skip a beat. Abel folded the belt in half and swung it at Niamh's nose."Don't you dare try to drive a wedge between me and Elara!"Niamh was stunned. She couldn't understand why Abel had suddenly taken Elara's side."Dad, I'm the one who grew up by your side! What kind of bond could you possibly have with Elara? You never even wanted to bring her back into the family in the first place!""Shut the hell up!"Abel was furious. His reputation was in tatters, while Elara's influence was rising rapidly. He still needed to rely on her in the future, so how could he allow Niamh to sow discord between them right in front of him?Abel shouted, "Get me some duct tape!"A pale hand handed him a roll
There's No Turning Back Chapter 311
Niamh noticed Abel's breathing grow heavier, and she felt a slight sense of relief. It was as if she could see a glimmer of hope for turning the situation around.Finally, it would be Elara's turn to have her teeth knocked out by Abel!Abel deleted the video related to Elara from Niamh's phone album. He took a deep breath, then raised his hand and slapped Niamh again.The slap came with a whistling sound, landing hard on Niamh's face. The cotton ball in Niamh's mouth flew out, mixed with thick blood, and splattered onto the floor."Niamh Jones! You're just asking for it! You ruined me, and now you're trying to ruin Elara too."I think you want to destroy the entire Jones family! I should just beat you to death!"Abel's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets."I didn't!" Niamh screamed as she spat out blood, the metallic taste of rust filling her mouth.Even so, her explanations were futile. She was just wondering why Abel wouldn't believe her?Abel threw

Abel roared at Niamh, "Look at Elara! She's the only one who's genuinely working for my company!"Elara added, "But the video exposed at the banquet today has already spread throughout the upper echelons of Capitol's elite circles."She sighed softly and turned to Niamh. "Niamh, you're quite close with those wealthy heirs in our social circle. Go check if they're discussing what happened to our family."A chill ran down Niamh's spine. She had a vague feeling that Elara was setting her up.Abel urged Niamh, "Show me your phone."Niamh's cheeks were so swollen she could barely close her mouth. She shook her head at Abel, sensing that Elara was laying another trap for her.In the next second, Niamh was slapped again by Abel. Her already swollen cheeks now showed streaks of bright red, the skin stretched thin by the swelling beneath.Abel stood over her, looking down as he commanded, "Don't make me repeat myself!"Under Abel's pressure, Niamh had no choice but to hand over her phon
