There's No Turning Back Chapter 362
Yet at some point, Harvey stopped needing Elara to do those things for him. He began to reject any affectionate gesture she made toward him.The disappointment and loneliness in Elara's eyes had been plain to see, but he ignored it completely. The woman he once dismissed so casually—he could never have her again.The love he had personally discarded was now given to someone else without hesitation. He simply watched as Theodore lowered his head and flashed Elara a brilliant smile.In that moment, Harvey felt an unbearable emptiness crack open in his chest, a black hole that no feeling could ever fill.He forced himself to look away and kept repeating to himself that it's just a brooch. Elara had given him more than one brooch in the past. He wasn't jealous of Theodore—not at all.After all, he had received so many gifts from Elara before: brooches, ties, watches. But now, he couldn't even remember where he had put any of them. He couldn't recall a single design she had chosen.We

Elara sensed something was wrong. She lifted her head and looked toward Theodore. His smile had turned razor-sharp, unreadable. No one could tell what he was thinking at that moment.Then, Theodore raised the speech folder in his hand and showed everyone the blank pages inside."I have no idea which bastard handed me an empty speech folder," he said coolly.Gasps rippled through the guests seated below."How could the folder be blank?""Who would pull something like that?""This is Joss Tech's turf. Could someone from Joss Tech have done something this childish, hoping to provoke Mr. Snapp?"Several people shifted their gaze toward Elara, their expressions now laced with suspicion.Theodore placed both hands firmly on the table and leaned forward, casting his gaze downward toward Harvey, who sat in the first row."Whoever tried to trip me up during this signing ceremony clearly doesn't want Snapp Group to successfully acquire Joss Tech," he declared.Elara reached for the bla

Niamh's eyes sharpened as she suddenly shouted, "I know that man! He's an employee at Joss Tech!"She raised her voice, trying to convince everyone that the speech folder switch had nothing to do with Harvey.But just then, the footage on the screen shifted, showing the same employee meeting with Harvey alone in a hallway. The entire exchange was caught on video.Gasps rippled through the crowd as Niamh's expression changed instantly, her voice catching in her throat. She turned, stunned, and stared at Harvey in disbelief.Was Theodore's speech folder really swapped out because of Harvey? But how could Harvey stoop so low?He had bribed a Joss Tech employee to swap the folder—yet still dared to meet with the guy inside the company building? And he actually went and did it right under a security camera?Niamh's face paled as she looked at Harvey in growing panic. But the man being publicly exposed sat calmly in his seat, completely unbothered. It was like the man caught on camera

When Theodore said the word "break up", a flash of triumph flickered in Harvey's eyes.He knew Theodore was putting on an act, but since the man had gone that far, Harvey was more than happy to see how he'd walk it back."Theodore Snapp, since you've said it, then stand by it!" Harvey declared.Now he was going to force Theodore and Elara to split—right here, right now."I never intended to break up with Mr. Snapp," Elara spoke up.Her hand remained wrapped in Theodore's larger one as she solemnly addressed Harvey. She continued, "And I certainly won't end things with him just because you're trying to stir up trouble between us."Harvey's expression darkened instantly, as if someone had hurled his heart into a pit."Elara…" Theodore called her name gently.Elara tightened her grip on his hand. "He's the one causing a scene at the Snapp-Jones acquisition ceremony. The person who should leave isn't you—it's Harvey!"A smile tugged at the corners of Theodore's lips, while Harvey

"Did Mr. Snapp fall for Ms. Jones back when she was still Mrs. Fisher?""I knew there was a reason Mr. Snapp stayed single all these years—turns out he was pining for another man's wife!"The guests were buzzing with excitement, completely immersed in the drama. Many were now too restless to stay seated."Could it be that Ms. Jones and Mr. Snapp were already involved before her divorce from Mr. Fisher?""It's no wonder Mr. Snapp managed to win her over so quickly! They must've been eyeing each other in secret for a while!""Are you saying Mr. Fisher divorced Ms. Jones because she cheated on him? Damn!"The speculation flew wild, even among high-society elites. The juicier the gossip, the more excited they became.Harvey's black eyes burned with fierce intensity. If Theodore wanted to ruin his reputation, he'd gladly drag him into the dirt with him.Theodore wouldn't get away clean. If he dared covet Harvey Fisher's woman, he would tear him down from his pedestal!Faye, the jou

The guests collectively took a deep breath as Theodore confessed his feelings in front of everyone.Meanwhile, Harvey's expression turned pitch black, as though a heavy layer of lead had been smeared across his face. It looked like a storm of thunder and lightning was about to erupt from it any second.Elara's long lashes curled upward as she looked at Theodore. The contours of his profile were smooth—his high nose bridge and deep-set eyes seemed like they'd been sculpted by a master craftsman.Light from the ceiling fixtures fell on the arch of his brow, casting soft shadows beneath his thick lashes. When he turned his head to meet her gaze, ripples seemed to spread through the air.He gave her a gentle smile. In those clear, serene eyes of his, emotions built up over the years spilled out—emotions he had stored just for her.Every breath Elara took felt hot. That surge from his gaze washed over her like a wave, engulfing her completely.It felt like lava had reached her feet—he

"Uncle Finn, is it done yet?" Merida asked.Finnegan crouched on the open ground outside the gymnasium, using a stick to stir the pile of fallen leaves that had burned to ash.Wearing heat-resistant gloves, he reached into the fire and pulled out sweet potatoes wrapped in aluminum foil. As he peeled back the foil, a warm, honeyed aroma wafted out, making Merida's mouth water instantly."Hurry up and give it to me!" she cried, reaching for it."It's hot," Finnegan warned calmly.He placed the sweet potato on a stack of bricks, rinsed off a spoon with bottled water, and handed it to her.Merida scooped out a piece, puffed at it impatiently, then took a bite. Her round cheeks puffed up, and her eyes narrowed into contented slits.Finnegan watched her eat with visible delight. There was a gentle warmth softening his gaze.…Back at Joss Tech, the signing ceremony had ended, and the cocktail party began. Theodore had just stepped out of the restroom when he ran straight into Harvey

When Harvey heard what Theodore said, his entire face twisted in fury. Every breath sent a dull throb through his chest and ribs.That man, who was now practically draped over Elara, had just tried to break his fingers moments ago! And now he was holding that wine-stained brooch like some tragic hero, playing the victim in front of Elara.It was outrageous!"Elara! Don't let him fool you!" Harvey shouted hoarsely, the metallic taste of blood thick in his mouth. He clutched his abdomen, bearing a pain that felt like thousands of ants gnawing at his insides. Elara glanced at the shattered glass on the floor. The warmth had vanished completely from her eyes."The red wine on Theodore. You poured it on him!" She wasn't asking. She was stating a fact, a charge.Harvey pressed his lips together. After swallowing the blood in his throat, he opened his mouth and said, "It was an accident."Theodore nodded gently, looking as fragile as a delicate white flower. "Mm. Mr. Fisher didn't mea

Theodore sat beside her, accompanying her home. Elara's eyes, usually clear and bright, now carried a faint mistiness. Suddenly remembering something, she pulled out her phone and made a call."Hello."Leonard's cool, water-like voice flowed into her ears, soothing her alcohol-fired nerves like a clear spring."Mr. Fisher, I've secured control of Joss Tech." Elara's voice brimmed with childlike excitement as she proudly announced her achievement to Leonard.Hearing her say "Mr. Fisher", Theodore's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She's talking to Leonard. He then turned his head to look at her.From the phone, Leonard's voice remained crisp as a mountain stream. "I'm aware of what Harvey did at Joss Tech today."Elara's lips curved. "He helped me eliminate Niamh, so I'll give him that much credit. But I'll never forgive him! His real target was Theodore!"Hearing his name, Theodore's smile widened until it nearly reached his ears.Leonard responded, "If he bothers you, I can trans

Elara found herself perplexed—was Harvey deliberately asking such foolish questions?"You're the CEO of Fisher Corp. You have countless ways to exonerate yourself. I know perfectly well which is easier—destroying you or destroying Niamh."When Harvey shifted all the blame onto Niamh, Elara had her own calculations. If she had exposed both Harvey and Niamh as co-conspirators then and there, she would have forced them onto the same side.Since Harvey wanted to ruin Niamh's reputation, she would let him do the dirty work first. The thought of Niamh being permanently silenced wasn't entirely unpleasant."Harvey, just try pulling another underhanded trick on Theodore again!"A bleak, mirthless laugh escaped Harvey's lips. His cuffs were soaked crimson, yet Elara hadn't shown an ounce of concern. She hadn't even granted him a glance."You may protect Theodore, but I know your heart still leans toward me!" Harvey's words seemed more for his own ears than hers.Elara probably avoided lo

Whispers rippled through the crowd as guests exchanged knowing glances."Everyone in the Capitol knows Niamh's obsessed with Mr. Fisher. She probably saw this public event as her last chance to force his hand!"She gambled that Mr. Fisher would quietly submit to save face, never expecting he'd stand his ground so firmly!""What an idiot," someone scoffed. "If Mr. Fisher wanted her, her sister would never have become Mrs. Fisher in the first place!"Elara motioned to several Jones Group staff members. "Take Niamh downstairs. The ambulance should be here by now."As employees lifted Niamh's unconscious body, her disheveled clothes barely covered her. Her head lolled to one side, lips still curved in a dreamy smile.The guests recoiled, their expressions dripping with disdain."Mr. Fisher." Elara's voice carried cold precision.Harvey's eyes instantly brightened at her address, hope flaring despite everything."You should accompany the ambulance to the hospital as well."The dis

Theodore's sharp eyebrows lifted slightly. Harvey was clearly putting on a pitiful act for Elara!Just moments ago, when Harvey was under the influence of the drug, he had been arrogant and aggressive—ready to tear Theodore apart. Yet now, he looked utterly wretched standing before Elara.A disdainful chuckle escaped Theodore's lips."Mr. Fisher, why don't you explain to everyone what happened? How did Niamh end up unconscious? Did you remove her clothes?"He wanted Harvey to admit, in his own words, the scheme he and Niamh had plotted.If Theodore and Elara exposed Harvey directly, it would only give him room to maneuver and counterattack. Instead, they wanted to see how Harvey would handle the mess he'd created."No!"Harvey denied it immediately. "Niamh was drugged—she tore off her own clothes and kept trying to force herself on me! I had to knock her out!"His anxious gaze darted to Elara, desperate to gauge her reaction. The last thing he wanted was for her to think he'd b

Elara made her way toward the lounge. After discovering Harvey's scheme, she had immediately warned Theodore.She decided to turn the trap back on them, luring Harvey and Niamh into the very setup they had planned for someone else.Initially, she had wondered how to best expose their plan. If she were to confront them directly, Harvey would no doubt twist the truth and accuse her of orchestrating the entire thing. But now, with the opportunity Theodore handed her, she could expose them naturally and without suspicion.Elara ordered someone to bring the key and unlock the door. As soon as it swung open, a thick scent—sweet but laced with the metallic tang of blood—hit her nose.Elara immediately coughed. She wrinkled her brows as nausea welled in her throat.Several curious heads popped out behind her, eyes widening as they peered into the room. Elara stepped forward, but Theodore reached out an arm to stop her."Careful," he said, and took the lead, entering the room first with E

Elara chatted with several executives from Snapp Group while glancing at her watch. By now, Harvey and Niamh had likely lost all rationality.Harvey's original plan involved collaborating with Niamh to publicly expose Theodore in a scandal during the acquisition ceremony's cocktail party.But his downfall stemmed from two critical miscalculations: choosing an incompetent partner and underestimating Elara's absolute control over Joss Tech.Harvey arrogantly believed he had successfully bribed several Joss Tech employees. What he didn't know was that these very employees reported his bribery attempts to Elara immediately after first contact.Elara instructed them to play along.Though Harvey exercised caution, ensuring each employee only knew their specific task, the fragmented information ultimately revealed his entire scheme when compiled by Elara.Some installed surveillance in the guest lounges. Others were tasked with serving Theodore a specific drink. A few slipped drugs into

Theodore spoke calmly, "I'll count to three. Decide by then, or neither of you gets the antidote."With a smirk, he looked at Harvey and began, "Three…"A vein pulsed visibly beneath Harvey's forehead. Theodore was clearly toying with them by offering the antidote."Give it to Niamh!" Harvey's voice was ice. He refused to let Niamh take advantage of the drug's effects to maul him freely."Give it to Harvey!" Niamh shouted.Harvey felt his nerves throbbing beneath his skin, as if his blood pressure might burst through."Why the hell should I take it? So I can stay conscious while you assault me?"Niamh flinched at his harsh words; that was exactly what she'd been thinking.After berating Niamh, Harvey turned his fury on Theodore. "You're the one behind this! You had Elara's assistant lure me here using her name!"His voice was firm, convinced of his accusation. Sweat dripped down Harvey's face as he panted heavily, like a caged beast growling at Theodore.Theodore smirked and

Niamh stood up and moved toward him. Sensing her approach, Harvey whirled around to face her with a guarded expression."Don't bother." His voice was hard, his entire body radiating wariness toward her.Niamh didn't understand his refusal. "Let me get your phone! Then we can call for help!"Harvey didn't believe a word she said—he'd already seen the desire in her eyes. He knew Niamh had feelings for him.This woman would gladly use the drug as an excuse to devour him whole. His phone was in his pants pocket. If he let Niamh reach for it, who knew what lines she might cross?Harvey pressed his back against the door. "Stop! Don't move!"He tried to command her with his voice. "Stay away from me!""Harvey! Are you afraid you won't be able to control yourself?" Niamh couldn't suppress a smirk.She pretended to reassure him. "Don't worry about hurting me. If you keep holding back, you'll only hurt yourself!"Before she could finish speaking, the drug's effects surged through her, d

The moment he heard the name "Elara", Harvey's eyes widened in shock. That name pierced his heart like countless tiny needles, sending waves of pain through his entire body.Niamh cupped his face in her hands. "Harvey, I want to save you! Please, I'm begging you—save me too!"Harvey tried to lift his leg, but with Niamh straddling him, he couldn't shake her off."Get off!" he roared as Niamh's face loomed closer in his vision.With a sudden twist, Harvey rolled violently, sending both of them crashing to the ground."Ahh!" Niamh screamed in pain while Harvey scrambled up in a panic, his body writhing as he desperately put distance between them.Niamh lay on the floor, writhing. "Harvey! How could you do this to me? It hurts!"Harvey glared down at her with an icy gaze. She was barely covered by scraps of fabric. Then, his heart lurched violently, pounding so hard it felt like it might burst from his chest.His vision blurred. As Niamh cried out in pain, her face twisted—and for
