There's No Turning Back Chapter 305
Niamh clicked on Elara's Instagram profile, only to find that the video Elara had previously posted in her stories was gone. She looked up, her eyes dark and venomous as they locked onto Elara.Did Elara really think deleting the video would erase the fact that she had provoked her? Niamh had already saved the video of Elara and Harvey!Seeing the faint smile curling at the corner of Elara's lips, Niamh became even more convinced that Elara had posted that story specifically for her to see.Elara was just furious that Harvey had signed a settlement agreement, leaving Beau still hospitalized while Niamh didn't have to pay a single cent in compensation.That's why, after refollowing Niamh, Elara had deliberately posted a story visible only to her, as a warning. Elara probably thought Niamh still had feelings for Harvey and would never spread the video, fearing it would damage Harvey's reputation.But Niamh was determined to show Elara that she had plenty of ways to fight back!Afte

Niamh's voice reached Harvey's ears.Bound and restrained, his cold, piercing eyes were locked onto the television screen. He knew Niamh was referring to Elara.What kind of dirt had she dug up on her?The only truly outrageous thing Elara had done—something that could bring catastrophic consequences to the Jones family—was imprisoning him here. But how could Niamh possibly know about that?Harvey felt a nerve in his brain throbbing violently.No! Niamh couldn't expose the fact that he was being held captive!In the next second, Harvey's pupils dilated in shock. The large screen lit up, displaying explicit footage.It was Abel's face which turned dark, almost purple with rage."Ahhh!" Daphne instinctively raised her hands but forgot to cover her mouth, letting out a piercing scream.The other members of the Jones family, as well as the shareholders, gasped in unison. Everyone in the room looked horrified, and some even wore expressions of fear.Niamh stood on the stage, takin

Niamh quickly turned to Abel, desperate to explain, "Dad! It's not what you think! This isn't the video I put up!"But Abel was beyond reason. His explicit video with Anya had been exposed in front of so many people—and it was his own daughter who had done it.Just minutes ago, he had been proudly telling the employees and executives how his two daughters had joined Joss Tech, and how the family would work together to create a bright future.His impassioned speech still echoed in the room. Yet now Niamh, his so-called devoted daughter, had delivered a crushing blow.Abel was so furious he could have ripped Niamh's head off and kicked it like a ball!"You disgraceful brat! I'll kill you!"Abel raised his foot and aimed a kick at Niamh's head. He genuinely wanted to kick her skull in! Terrified, Niamh scrambled away on all fours, barely avoiding the blow.She looked toward Elara, thinking that with so many people watching, Elara wouldn't just stand by and let her die, right?But

After giving Benjamin some medicine, he finally began to recover. Benjamin told Elara that in this household, no one had escaped Abel's beatings.Niamh had been whipped by Abel since she was a child. Over time, she began to idolize violence, imitating Abel and rejecting her identity as a woman in an attempt to fit into a male-dominated world. It was as if she believed that by becoming an abuser herself, she could avoid being the one beaten."Don't be fooled by how much he dotes on Daphne. I've seen him slap her so hard her entire face swelled up. I've always thought Daphne's screws were a little loose because of his beatings.""Why did he hit you last night?" Elara asked.Benjamin lay on the bed, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling. "He found out I've been looking into the whereabouts of my biological parents."He turned to her. "He said the Jones family must be inherited by a man. If I go looking for my biological parents, the Jones family line will end with me."At this, Be

Elara blinked as she watched the glass hit Niamh's chest. The scalding hot water inside splashed directly onto Niamh's face, effectively giving her an impromptu wash."Ahhh! Fuck!" Niamh screamed in agony from the burn.The hot water mixed with the blood on her face, turning a faint pink as it dripped down. She scrambled frantically to get up from the couch."I'm so sorry…" Wendy spoke timidly, though her dark eyes showed no trace of remorse."You bitch!" Niamh grabbed a pillow from behind her and hurled it at Wendy, cursing loudly.Wendy didn't dodge. She merely instinctively closed her eyes.It was just a pillow. She had been hit with much harder objects by Niamh before, leaving her bloodied and bruised.Benjamin reached out and caught the pillow mid-air.He stepped in front of Wendy, shielding her, and tossed the pillow aside. His expression remained neutral as he said, "Wendy didn't do it on purpose."In his eyes, everyone in the Jones family was like a rabid dog.With co

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

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

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

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

Harvey was furious. Now under 24-hour surveillance by Leonard's men, he swore to track down the people who had just beaten him the moment he got off this damned mountain."Just you wait!" He mentally added Leonard's so-called security team to his list of grievances. What kind of bodyguards were they when they didn't even protect him?"Mr. Harvey, we answer to Mr. Leonard. Disciplining us would be a direct insult to him."Harvey took a deep breath. "Once I'm off this mountain, I'll make sure my uncle knows you failed at your only job at keeping me safe."The security guard sighed helplessly. "Mr. Harvey, your personal safety isn't our responsibility. Mr. Leonard's orders were clear—we just have to keep an eye on you. We've done our job as long as you don't die."Harvey was utterly speechless.After the brutal beating in the bathhouse, Harvey was even filthier than before. But he refused to go back in to take another bath.What if those thugs barged in again while he was naked, bl

Elara exchanged a glance with Leonard before answering her phone. Priscilla's lazy tone came through, "Ms. Jones, have you forgotten you're Quantum Tech's project leader? I hear you haven't been to the company lately."Her voice carried clear accusations. Elara replied simply, "Ms. Price must be too busy to know I was recently hospitalized.""I heard you've been discharged." Priscilla's voice turned icy.Knowing her impatience, Elara acquiesced, "I'll visit Quantum Tech today."Leaning back against the sofa, her posture relaxed, and she added with a gentle voice, "Let's hope your employees don't disappoint me, Ms. Price."Priscilla countered, "I hope you don't disappoint me either, Ms. Jones."After hanging up, Elara turned to Leonard and asked, "Mr. Fisher, could you accompany me somewhere?"Leonard looked at her. "What do you need?"Elara looked down at the employment contract in her hands, eyes sparkling with anticipation. "As Dragonheart's new director, you should properly
