There's No Turning Back Chapter 244
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

As Theodore spoke, his hands tightened slightly, and a faint tremor ran through his heart. A wave of warmth spread from his chest, filling him with uncertainty.Had he been too abrupt? Would Elara think he was crazy? Lowering his head, he waited patiently for her response, placing his fate entirely in her hands."If we were in a relationship, we might actually be able to lure Abel in," Elara said seriously. "Our partnership will end the day I take over Joss Tech. When that happens, we'll announce our breakup, and you'll no longer be my boyfriend."Meeting her clear, luminous gaze, Theodore felt his throat grow dry. "Then let me be your boyfriend for one month."Elara extended her hand toward him. "The kind of love you speak of, the kind that asks for nothing in return, is something I've never experienced."But I'm willing to try, to feel it, and to openly accept your affection. It's because I am, by nature, worthy of being loved by you."A smile curved her lips as she waited fo

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
