Merida looked up and locked eyes with Ethel.Confused, she asked, "What are you staring at?"Ethel reacted as if she had seen an enemy. "What are you doing here?"She had received news that Xavier had once again brought bodyguards to visit Beau at the hospital, and she had rushed over, fearing Xavier might do something to harm him.But the moment she saw Merida standing there, her anger flared.In the past, Ethel had never taken Xavier seriously. Though he was Leonard's adopted son, he was still just that—adopted. The true heir of the Fisher family had always been under Harvey's control.But now, with Beau hospitalized and Xavier beginning to receive heir training for the Fisher family, Ethel hadn't slept soundly for days.And seeing Merida—the granddaughter she believed to be a traitor—only added fuel to her fury. If she could, she would have slapped the child right then and there.Merida stood firm and declared, "Beau hasn't been to school for days. All his classmates know he

"Grandma! Let me down!" yelled Beau.The nurses unanimously got Ethel to stop her actions. "Put him down, Madam Fisher!""You'll increase the burden on his body this way, Madam Fisher!"A few other nurses worked together to grab Beau from her arms. Once the nurses returned him to his sick bed, he felt unwell. Every time he took a breath, his back would hurt. The nurse asked Ethel. "Everything was fine, so why did you ask him to throw it up?""Didn't you hear? He ate something he shouldn't have!"The nurse replied, "I checked the soup before the little girl fed it to him. It's fine. Your grandson finally has the appetite to have some soup, so how could you get him to throw it up without any regard for his injuries?"Ethel went to Beau's side and said in a soft voice, "You were confused by your hunger. The soup that woman made doesn't have any nutritional value. Soup is meant for servants. How is this different from feeding you pig food?""I like Mommy's soup!" roared Beau.

Elara posted a clip of her stepping on Harvey. This particular clip, when viewed in isolation, easily made people's minds wander.In the video, she and Harvey each occupied half of the frame. His hands were suspended, but the handcuffs weren't shown. This made others think that he was sitting on the floor voluntarily, allowing Elara to trample on his body.Elara had also deliberately removed the audio, forcing the viewer to focus entirely on the side of Harvey's face and the spot where she had stepped on him. It was easiest for people to imagine intimate sounds in a silent video.His eyes were dazed, and his mouth was open. The kind of noises he would make were up for imagination.Niamh sent over a message she had prepared long in advance. "Elara, I didn't want to appear before you, but Harvey insisted on forcing me into Joss Tech. You know how I am—I'm used to being free and unrestrained. Now that I'm your assistant, you have to take good care of me!"After sending the message,

In a certain room, the glow of the TV illuminated Harvey's face. He would never have imagined that he would be locked in a room in such a humiliating position to watch a news broadcast.The TV showed the time, so he knew he had been locked in here for a day and a night. Because he went without food or water for so long, his physical needs were minimal. However, he had sweated earlier and also soiled his pants. He could feel that his whole body stank.Never in his recollection had he ever worn the same suit until the next day. Even if he was pulling an all-nighter at the company, he would spend at least ten minutes showering and changing into clean clothes.He recalled the year Dawn died, there were a few times when he drank himself into unconsciousness. When he lay on the couch, Elara would remove his tie, change his socks, and wipe his face with a warm towel.She would even carry him to bed. Once he woke up the next morning, he would find himself in clean pajamas, feeling refres

Harvey's shocked gaze slowly went to the bowl of chicken noodle soup on the floor. If he wanted to eat it, he would have to bend down to do so. It wouldn't make him much different than a dog.He was livid. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger. "You're doing this on purpose, Elara! Do you hate me that much?"He was like an agitated caged beast that rammed against its cage. The steel lock and chains clanged loudly. However, he suddenly fell silent the next second. He saw Elara smiling at him. That smile was like a night bloom."You had Abel shove Niamh into Joss Tech as my assistant. Since you disgust me that much, why can't I disgust you in return?"Upon hearing this, Harvey let out a cold laugh. She was taking revenge on him, but what right did she have to do so?"You killed Dawn!"The moment these words left his mouth, it was as if he had uttered a curse upon himself. Elara didn't argue with him. She couldn't be bothered to deal with his crazy words.She opened the d

Harvey glanced at the monitors surrounding him and shouted toward the voice receiver nearby, "Once I finish this bowl of soup, you'll let my mother go, right?"After he spoke, he waited for a long time, but there was no response from Elara.Harvey slowly bent down, his back arching as he lowered his head closer to the bowl of soup. He knew how undignified his posture must look, but he tried not to think about the humiliation of being recorded in high definition by the cameras.He then stuck out his tongue and tasted the soup. As he swallowed the bits of noodles, his mind began to lose control.He practically buried half his face in the plastic bowl, and the soup was nearly gone within moments. At this point, was there any difference between him and Beau, who had once fought with stray cats over scraps of food?Harvey buried his face in the plastic container, not wanting to lift it. He had been starved all day, and Elara had been merciless.The small amount of soup was enough to k

Niamh cast a teasing glance at Abel and said, "Dad, you really didn't need to make Elara bring Mr. Snapp. Aren't you just setting her up for failure?"When Niamh first heard that Theodore had become Elara's boyfriend, she thought it was either a joke from Abel or a lie concocted by Elara herself.After all, Theodore Snapp was the dream man and ideal partner for countless wealthy heiresses—the pinnacle of eligible bachelors. Even if Elara had won the lottery, there was no way she could ever catch Theodore's eye.Niamh knew Theodore had exceptionally high standards. Unlike other unmarried heirs from wealthy families, he had never been involved in any scandals since he was a teen.There was even a period when rumors circulated in their social circle that Theodore Snapp was rooting for the other team. However, it didn't take long for those rumor-mongers to receive cease-and-desist letters from his lawyers.So, when Abel claimed that Elara and Theodore were together, Niamh's first reac

Abel wanted to seize the opportunity to impress the reporters, showcasing his eloquence and demeanor. However, Faye felt a wave of secondhand embarrassment."We've already done our research on Joss Tech," she said politely.Abel chuckled. "Then let me test your knowledge!"The overwhelming "dad energy" emanating from him made Faye instinctively hold her breath."Lara, why didn't you tell us earlier that you invited the media to film this?" Daphne exclaimed, her hands covering her flushed cheeks.The sight of so many professional cameras and photographers was like a shot of adrenaline to her, making her heart race.Many of the executives on the scene quickly adjusted their ties and suits, transforming into their most polished selves under the gaze of the cameras.Faye addressed the crowd, "My team and I are here to gather material for a feature report on Ms. Jones. Please act naturally and carry on with your conversations as usual. There's no need to pay too much attention to the

Priscilla propped herself up and sat upright. The muscular man lying beside her handed her a robe, which she draped over her shoulders.The man holding the phone kept it pressed to her ear. Her caramel-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her striking beauty radiated an effortless charm even without makeup."Impossible! Wasn't her framework supposed to be the optimal solution based on our initial calculations?""Elara's work… It's too advanced. With eight thousand GPUs running simultaneously, we don't even know which stage to adjust. The junk data we've generated has already maxed out the memory."Figuring out which parts to clear to keep the framework running will require a massive amount of manpower and resources to sift through."Priscilla exhaled impatiently. "Speak plainly!"The voice on the phone continued, "We can't handle the framework Elara provided. If we activate the fail-safe mechanism by 10:00 am and switch to the backup framework, we'll lose an estimated 100 mi

Elara raised her hand and lightly tapped Rosalie's cheek. The gesture instantly silenced Rosalie."Why you!" Rosalie's temper flared."Rosalie, why is the perfume you're wearing attracting so many bugs? Ugh! There are black flies all over your hair!"Elara pretended to brush at Rosalie's head. "There are so many bugs crawling on you! How terrifying!"Hearing this, Rosalie immediately felt her scalp itch. She began patting her own hair and asked Paisley, "Are there bugs in my hair?"Paisley nodded earnestly. "Yes!"She also didn't want to hear Rosalie criticize Merida anymore."Ahhh! Let's go, let's go!" Rosalie screamed, grabbing Paisley's hand and dragging her toward their car.Elara held out her hand to her daughter. "Let's go."Merida said gloomily, "When the teacher gave me the costume, she told me I needed to lose weight."Elara took her daughter's soft, chubby hand in hers. "Remember when I took you to the gym to check your body fat? Your body fat is actually on the low

Whenever Merida was upset, she would twist her backpack straps into knots."Mommy!" she called out.She walked toward Elara as her two slightly loose and crooked pigtails swayed with each step. When she saw Elara, a spark lit up in her eyes, and her round rosy cheeks lifted her previously drooping mouth into a smile.She broke into a little run toward Elara, one of her pigtails completely coming undone. Elara crouched down, pulling the hair band that had slipped to the end of Merida's hair and carefully redoing her pigtails."Did you have P.E. today?" Elara asked, puzzled.She was sure Merida didn't have P.E. scheduled for the day, so why was her hair such a mess?"We were rehearsing for the talent show this afternoon." As she said this, Merida's cheeks puffed out slightly, and the brightness in her eyes dimmed."Elara!" A woman's voice called out from a distance.Elara looked up to see Rosalie walking over while holding Paisley's hand. Whenever this woman showed up, Elara knew

"Harvey definitely won't make your medical records public. It wouldn't benefit him at all. In fact, it would only make investors more confident in Snapp Group's acquisition of Joss Tech."But we can't just let the fact that Harvey stole your records slide! I want him to face widespread criticism. I want him to suffer in silence, unable to defend himself!"Elara's gaze toward Harvey was now icy and resolute. When she didn't hear Theodore's response, she turned to look at him.The man was leaning slightly toward her, one elbow resting casually on the steering wheel. His mesmerizing eyes could make even a dog feel adored.Elara asked nervously, "What do you think?"She wanted to take Harvey down, but this also involved Theodore's privacy.Theodore's thin lips curved into a faint smile. "Elara, I really like this side of you.""Huh?"His sudden, heartfelt confession made Elara's cheeks flush instantly. How did he always manage to make her heart race with just a few words?"You're

The moment Harvey saw Elara preparing to leave with Theodore, a sense of loss gripped him like an invisible hand, pulling him toward an abyss. He felt as though he was on the verge of falling into a bottomless pit."Elara!" Harvey called out, his voice cutting through the thick, heavy air.His breathing grew labored, his chest was heaving violently, and his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper."I can give you another chance! Let's make everything go back to the way it was. You'll still be my wife and Beau's mother. I can inject funds into Joss Tech to keep it running!"I just want everything to return to how it used to be!"Harvey's voice was cold, but with every word he spoke, he felt his strength draining away. His posture remained proud and aloof, but his eyes betrayed fear and despair.He was like a man standing on the edge of a cliff, insisting he was fine, even as he teetered on the brink of collapse.Elara turned to look at him. Her expression was cold and indifferent
There's No Turning Back Chapter 331
Elara's entire face flushed crimson. She bit down hard on her lower lip to keep herself from making a sound, but inside, she was screaming like a startled groundhog.Theodore narrowed his sharp, fox-like eyes. There was a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Harvey's dark complexion turn even darker, with veins bulging on his forehead."Harvey, why aren't you laughing? Is it just not in your nature to smile?"Elara wondered if her dizziness was playing tricks on her, because in her blurred vision, Harvey seemed to be trembling uncontrollably. Her ex-husband looked as though he had just been hit by a tidal wave of shock.Finnegan, on the other hand, remained calm. Having little experience in such matters, he had never even heard of something like this. He held Theodore's medical records in one hand and his phone in the other, searching for "the purpose of embedding beads".So, it was embedded there! Who knew such a thing was possible?Theodore's... assets were already far above

Was Theodore speaking human language? Did he mean what they thought he meant?"What the hell do you mean?" Finnegan asked, genuinely confused.Seeing Finnegan's serious expression, Theodore handed over the medical records he had been holding."Finny, your brother-in-law is in perfect health."Finnegan immediately opened Theodore's medical records and read through the details of his surgery. Some of the medical terms were hard to understand. He looked up at Theodore, then back down at the records in his hands."Why did you implant an agate bead into your body?" Finnegan asked.Harvey quickly reached out to grab Theodore's medical records with a forceful grip. Finnegan then let go.After reading Theodore's records, Harvey's face turned darker than ink. His fingers trembled from the force of his grip, and veins were bulging on the back of his hand.The few pages of medical records were crumpled under his grasp. His eyes burned red as he glared at Theodore, looking like a vengeful

Theodore ignored Harvey, unsurprised by his presence. Instead, his gaze shifted over Harvey's shoulder, landing on Elara.Theodore's expression froze. His moon seemed to rush toward him, her eyes filled with concern for him.Elara walked up to Theodore and grabbed his wrist. The man looked down, surprised by Elara's grip, and his long lashes were trembling slightly.Elara turned to Theodore and said, "I know you came to see the urologist."Theodore looked at her, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. Just as he was about to speak, Elara stepped in front of him like a mother hen protecting her chick."Harvey Fisher, just stay out of our business!"Both men's expressions shifted at the same time. Theodore's lips curved into a smile, while Harvey's face darkened to the extreme.Harvey thought he could handle this calmly, but when Elara referred to their matter as "ours", and he, the ex-husband, was reduced to a complete stranger, his breathing grew labored.His hands hung limply at

Harvey felt as if he were on a battlefield, surrounded by invisible smoke and chaos. While Finnegan's deep eyes gleamed like a beast's, radiating menace.The air in the elevator froze instantly.Finnegan growled, "Put Elara down!"He then blocked the elevator door, and Harvey knew there was no way out. So, he set Elara down.Elara clutched her chest, feeling nauseous. She wanted to vomit on Harvey, but the bile surged back down her throat. Finnegan reached out and pulled Elara behind him."Harvey Fisher, do you not know when you're not welcomed?"Finnegan silently repeated to himself several times that murder was illegal, barely suppressing the urge to crush Harvey's skull.However, Harvey showed no intention of leaving. He handed the brown envelope to Finnegan as he said, "Take a look."Finnegan frowned, unwilling to accept anything from Harvey.Elara spoke up, "Do you really think a urology record can affect my partnership with Theodore? Are you that naive?"Harvey's sharp
