There's No Turning Back Chapter 327
There was nothing more painful than this! Harvey had once possessed something but never cherished it. Now that it was gone, he couldn't stop longing for it and was unable to let go.He asked Elara solemnly, "Are you sure you want to choose Theodore?"Elara replied in a businesslike tone, "We've already finalized all the details of the acquisition with Snapp Group. The official signing ceremony will take place next week."Her voice was calm and indifferent, as if Harvey meant nothing to her."Mr. Fisher, you're too late. Maybe if you had proposed acquiring Jones Group six months ago, no one would have been competing with you."But now, no matter how good your offer is, I won't accept it. Even if you could truly keep your word and not change your mind, I'd rather miss out on the three billion, five billion, or even ten billion you're offering me!"No amount of money could convince Elara to work with him. Once feelings were gone, they were hard to rebuild.It felt like thousands of

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

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

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

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

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

"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

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

Elara, standing on the stage, was also stunned. Meanwhile, Rosalie's eyes widened in shock. She raised a trembling hand to touch her face.When she felt the swelling on her cheek, it was as if thousands of needles, finer than hair, were piercing her skin, threatening to tear it apart.Only then did Rosalie realize—she had been slapped!"Why did you hit me?" Rosalie screamed.Priscilla smiled, the corners of her eyes lifting as her long lashes fluttered like the wings of a butterfly about to take flight."Not only will I hit you, but I'll also drill a hole in your head to clear out the sewage coming out of your mouth!"Priscilla stood at nearly 5'8", and with her six-inch-tall heels, Rosalie looked like a dwarf next to her.She raised her hand, pointing at Rosalie's head. But fearing another slap, Rosalie quickly covered her head with her hands."Don't think that just because you don't say it outright, no one knows what filthy thoughts are in your head! Throwing shade is easy, b

Elara looked at Rosalie, fully aware of the scheme she was plotting. Their eyes met, and the air between them crackled with tension, as if sparks were about to ignite.Back in the Fisher family, Rosalie had never been kind to Elara. In the past, Elara had deliberately avoided her for the sake of family harmony. Yet even now, Rosalie was still targeting her.A soft chuckle escaped Elara's throat. Prejudice was like an insurmountable mountain in people's hearts, and the wealthier they were, the more they feared outsiders.Rosalie, like Harvey, looked down on her from the bottom of her heart. From the moment Elara married into the Fisher family, Rosalie had been waiting for the day she would be kicked out."Elara, you'd better hurry and talk to the school administration. If you're too late and the program list is finalized, you won't be able to add Merida's name." Rosalie's lips curled into a smile as she said this, but it didn't reach her eyes.Suddenly, as if remembering something,

Some parents remained seated, staying out of the argument. They quietly edited the videos they had just recorded and uploaded them online."If Merida doesn't want to quit, then let her embarrass herself on stage.""The audience's eyes are sharp! If she drags my daughter's performance down, I'll make sure she's drowned in online criticism!"The seated parents whispered among themselves."Mommy," Merida called out softly to Elara, who took her chubby little hand in hers.Merida bit her lower lip as her other hand rested on her chest, fingers lightly clutching the crystal decorations on her costume. Her eyes were misty, and the corners glistened with unshed tears."I… I'll just quit!"Merida had made up her mind. When she put on the costume, many of the other children had secretly laughed at her.She asked why they were laughing, and they told her it was because she was fat.She didn't think she was fat—she thought she was just fine. But when she made mistakes on stage, she began

The busy tone echoed in Priscilla's ears, and her expression visibly cracked. She turned her head, staring at her phone in disbelief.Did Elara just hang up on her? How could that be? No one had ever dared to hang up on her before.Priscilla refused to believe it. Maybe Elara had accidentally declined the call. There was no way Elara would actually do such a thing!She dialed Elara's number again, this time putting the call on speakerphone. Everyone in the room turned their attention to Priscilla's phone while holding their breath.But as the seconds ticked by, the call remained unanswered. Priscilla's hand that was holding the phone began to tremble slightly.The atmosphere in the room grew tense, and an awkward silence spread among the onlookers."The number you have dialed is not answering. Please try again later." The emotionless automated voice rang out from Priscilla's phone.Someone spoke up, "Ms. Jones might be busy right now.""Ms. Price, let me reach out to Ms. Jones.

The dance teacher, Darcie Roman, had spoken to Elara a few days earlier. Elara had gotten her number from Bridget and called to discuss Merida's situation.She had explicitly asked Darcie not to body-shame the children, but the response over the phone had been dismissive and perfunctory.Afterward, Elara reached out to Tilly, who was assisting with the dance performance. Hearing Tilly praise Merida's performance had eased half of Elara's worries.But now, Merida hung her head upon hearing Darcie's words, knowing she was at fault. Her chubby fingers clutched at Elara's clothes. Elara glanced at her daughter and felt her heart aching for her."Ms. Roman, this stage accident happened because the floorboards are old and cracked. This stage has been in use for over 20 years. Look at these holes in the wood—it's clear the boards are infested with termites."The priority now is to repair the stage floor to prevent similar accidents from happening again."Before Elara could finish, Darci

Shirley's mother, naturally aware of the situation, added, "The teacher originally planned to find an older boy from the elementary school to help."But even if they chose a second-grade boy, mastering the lift while maintaining grace would take a lot of practice. Just keeping the boy's arms steady and firm would require significant effort.Shirley's mother, Tilly Greene, smiled and said, "In the end, your daughter couldn't stand it anymore. She said she and the other kids often practiced this move, and she could lift Paisley and spin her multiple times without getting tired."Elara's lips curved into a smile. Tilly had once been the lead dancer of the Capitol Ballet Troupe.The school's dance teacher, though also a professional dancer, paled in comparison to Tilly's achievements in the industry. So, when Class 1B was rehearsing their dance, the teacher often invited Tilly to provide guidance.Elara asked, "Was it your decision to let Merida handle the lift?"After all, such move

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
