There's No Turning Back Chapter 368
"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
There's No Turning Back Chapter 369
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

"I didn't!!" Harvey was nearly driven mad with anger—how dare Theodore insult him like that? What a vicious man!"Elara, you have to believe me!"Harvey had never begged anyone like this before. For the first time, he felt the sting of being unable to defend himself. He stood there, feeling completely isolated.Behind Elara, the wealthy elites began whispering among themselves."Did Mr. Fisher even get hurt? He looks totally fine. Meanwhile, Mr. Snapp looks like a wreck.""Obviously, Mr. Snapp's the one who got bullied here.""This isn't the first time Mr. Fisher targeted Mr. Snapp. I saw him throw a punch at him once.""I heard Mr. Fisher even poured a whole bottle of hand soap on Mr. Snapp in the restroom before. He must've done the same this time, dumping wine on him just because he doesn't like him.""This is clearly about Ms. Jones. Mr. Fisher's just trying to steal her back from Mr. Snapp! And now he's trying to get her alone in a room to 'show his injuries'? Please—he's

Someone approached and leaned in close to Harvey's ear, speaking in a low voice. "Mr. Fisher, Ms. Jones would like to speak with you privately."The person delivering the message was Cassie. Harvey froze for a moment. He glanced around the room, only to find that Elara was no longer there."Where is she?" he asked.Cassie replied, "Ms. Jones is waiting in the office outside. Please follow me."Harvey then followed her out.Just moments ago, Elara had barely spoken to him in front of all those people. In fact, she hadn't even spared him a glance. And now, she wanted to see him alone?His breathing grew heavier. So, she really was a fickle woman, juggling both sides! She was ignoring him in front of Theodore, then summoning him in secret?Elara's behavior when it came to men completely shattered Harvey's expectations. She had probably divorced him just to throw herself into total freedom.How could she act like this—flirting left and right? Both Theodore and Lesley had clearly fa

Harvey looked up toward the door. His vision blurred around the edges, as if shrouded in mist. Why couldn't he see clearly?He blinked hard. The woman who entered was already standing right in front of him."Harvey." Niamh's legs gave out as she collapsed onto him.Harvey tried to push her away, but his hands were bound behind his back—he couldn't move them. All he could do was scoot his body backward.As if her bones had melted, Niamh slumped against him like a pile of limp clay with her weight dragging downward."Niamh Jones! What the hell are you doing?"Harvey growled, but Niamh's eyes were glazed. She clutched her chest, panting as she looked at him with flushed cheeks."I'm so hot… my body's all tingly."Harvey's gaze turned icy. "Did you take something you weren't supposed to?"Niamh's head was foggy. "I just had a little drink...""Who gave it to you?" Harvey asked sharply."A waiter at the reception," she murmured, sniffing as she looked up. "This room smells really

Niamh's eyes went wide. It wasn't until Harvey said it out loud that everything finally clicked for her. Still stunned, she asked, "Harvey, why are you even here?"Harvey's face was grim as he forced himself to calm down. He laid it out step by step. "Elara's assistant told me she wanted to speak with me alone and asked me to wait for her here."Niamh's gaze dropped to his hands, which had been cuffed behind his back. "Harvey, your hands… Why are you handcuffed? Did Elara order someone to do this?"His expression darkened like scorched iron. He was so agitated and felt like a complete idiot!He didn't even want to think about what had gone through his mind—why he'd believed Elara might still be into that kind of thing. He'd walked right into her trap!The more he thought about it, the more flustered he became. Flames of humiliation and anger seemed to blaze through his chest and gut.He looked around, searching for the key, and urged Niamh, "Help me find the key!""Oh—okay." Nia

"Don't touch me!" Harvey shouted.Nonetheless, Niamh only intensified her efforts, leaping onto him in an attempt to pin him down."Harvey! I'm trying to help you! I'm already undressed! Why won't you take yours off?""No! Let me go!"The more he resisted, the more excited Niamh became. "Why are you making that face? Are you afraid I'll devour you?"Niamh fumbled with Harvey's suit buttons but couldn't undo them.Growing impatient, she snapped, "Ugh! Stop squirming! If you keep wriggling like this, I can't promise what I might do!"Harvey's scalp prickled with alarm as warning bells blared in his head. With a powerful kick of his legs, he sent Niamh tumbling off the couch."Ahhh!" Niamh crashed to the floor with a pained cry.Harvey lay panting on the sofa, staring wide-eyed at Niamh sprawled on the ground. "You've gone absolutely mental!"He even began suspecting Niamh might have orchestrated this trapped-in-a-room scenario. But then reconsidered as Niamh wasn't clever enoug

Harvey staggered back several steps, his chest heaving as he gasped for air. Beads of sweat rolled down his brow, pooling in the hollows of his eyes. The moisture blurred his vision, yet the window remained intact, without even a hairline crack.Suddenly, Niamh wrapped her arms around him from behind. Her hands roamed freely over his body."Harvey... I can't take it anymore..." she said as she reached for his suit jacket, trying to peel it off.Harvey twisted violently, attempting to shake her off. "Let go!"He growled through clenched teeth, but with his hands restrained behind his back, Niamh easily stripped off his outer jacket.The suit jacket caught around his wrists as Niamh slithered like a snake to his front, looping her arms around his neck. She wore barely any clothes now as she stood on tiptoe to reach his jawline.As she pressed closer, Harvey's stomach churned with overwhelming nausea. He stumbled backward in panic, but Niamh clung to him like a leech as her entire b

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
