There's No Turning Back Chapter 50
"Theodore, you—" Niamh was stunned as she exclaimed in disbelief.Her eyes darted around before she smirked. "Are you interested in my sister as a person, or are you more interested in her as Harvey's wife?"Elara and Harvey are still in the process of divorcing—do you think this is the perfect time to enjoy the thrill of an affair without facing too much criticism?"She wore an expression that suggested she had seen right through Theodore.At that moment, the entire hospital room felt like a walk-in freezer. The oppressive aura radiating from Harvey was so intense that even Beau's legs trembled.Theodore's sharp, fox-like eyes turned cold. "Did you crawl out of a history museum? You could conjure up more stories than a medieval tapestry."Niamh stammered, "I—""Funny how some people blurt out their own thoughts as if they're exposing someone else's."Niamh's face stiffened, and she retorted weakly, "You're obviously talking about yourself!""You'd know best, wouldn't you?" Th

"I didn't expect Mr. Snapp to be someone who enjoys picking at other men's leftovers."To Harvey, she was nothing more than a meal that had already been eaten—tasteless, yet too much of a waste to throw away.Elara spoke plainly to Theodore, "I don't think the best way to get back at a man is by marrying another one—just to prove some kind of sexual appeal."It's as if I need to show the world that even at 27, I can still attract a man. My worth shouldn't be measured by whether or not a man wants me."She smiled. "If you want to truly get back at someone who's hurt you—whether they're a man or a woman—the best way is to make them watch you rise."She would no longer live in the shadows, tucked away in a mansion, playing the silent role of the woman behind a man. She would stand as his equal.No—she would rise above him. She would reach a place so high that even Harvey Fisher couldn't touch her.Elara snapped out of her thoughts and found Theodore staring at her, his gaze burning

The next day arrived in a flash. A black heavy-duty motorcycle roared down the street, drawing the attention of pedestrians.Niamh pulled to a stop.Sitting in front of her, dressed in a black denim coat and wearing a matching black helmet, was a small figure.She lifted her visor with a smirk. "Elara, need a hand?"Once again, she had brought Beau to Finnegan's gym. Just as they arrived, she spotted Elara coming down the stairs carrying two large bags of trash.Elara was dressed simply in a beige sweatshirt, with her sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her hair was tied back in a casual ponytail, with a few loose strands framing her beautiful face.The small figure in front of Niamh called out in annoyance. "Why are you even talking to her?"It was Beau. Seeing Elara like this made him feel embarrassed.Niamh's eyes gleamed with amusement. She had come specifically to see Elara in a sorry state.Then, she spotted Bambi carrying a box of bottled water down the stairs. The little
There's No Turning Back Chapter 53
Niamh was wearing a helmet, so no one could see the pale, panicked expression on her face. Fortunately, the motorcycle had barely picked up speed, so she wasn't going too fast.Beau had been thrown forward onto the fuel tank, his helmet slamming against the dashboard."Ugh!" He winced as his chest took the impact, making him cough uncontrollably."Beau! Seriously? Sit properly and hold on tight, got it?" Seeing that Beau wasn't hurt, Niamh let out a sigh of relief.She grabbed the back of his jacket and hoisted him upright, setting him back into position.Beau adjusted his helmet and shouted, "I'm fine!"His voice was loud—he was saying it for Elara and Bambi to hear."Damn it! Who the hell drives like that?" Niamh grumbled as the car that had nearly collided with her came to a stop as well.The driver, gripping the steering wheel, leaned out of the window and yelled, "You were going the wrong way!""Didn't you see I had a kid on board? What the fuck, man!"The driver looked

Elara had fastened her long hair into a loose updo with a hairclip, letting a few strands fall naturally around her face, giving off an effortless elegance.Dressed in a cashmere long dress that accentuated her graceful figure, she carried a leather document folder in one hand and a phone in the other.Harvey rarely took her to formal events, so much so that at this moment, he couldn't even recall what Elara looked like in an evening gown.When she saw him, she didn't acknowledge his presence. Instead, she walked straight up the courthouse steps, knowing they were heading to the same place anyway.Harvey followed behind her, his deep voice cutting through the air."You could ask me for a favor. I could issue a statement to the commission to unfreeze your assets faster."He knew her predicament yet still positioned himself above her, offering help like it was a privilege she had to earn.That 60 million meant nothing to Harvey. But for Elara, it was the key to buying a home. Stil

Elara smiled, looking calm and unbothered. "Mr. Fisher, don't tell me you don't actually want to divorce me?"Harvey let out a cold scoff. "It would be much more annoying if you kept clinging to me afterward."Elara mimicked his tone, just as dismissive. "You're overthinking things."The court clerk handed them their divorce certificates. Elara glanced at the photo on hers, where she was smiling brightly. She curled her lips in satisfaction.Harvey took his without even looking at it and immediately stood up."Mr. Fisher, wait a moment." Elara stopped him, and he paused mid-step.With one hand in his pocket, he turned back with a smirk. "Already regretting it?""You need to sign one more thing," she said matter-of-factly. "Bambi is taking my last name."His smirk vanished in an instant.Elara walked out of the reception room and saw that Finnegan sat with Bambi in the lobby. The moment he saw Harvey, he nearly lost control of his expression.Just yesterday, Harvey had bought

"Let's all congratulate this man! He's now free from his shackles, and celebrating his new single life—happy divorce!"Niamh led the group in holding up a massive banner that read "Congratulations on Your Divorce, Harvey Fisher!" while confetti cannons fired off and air horns blared."Mommy, what is Aunt Niamh doing?" Merida asked, thoroughly confused.Elara squeezed her daughter's hand and sighed. "She's making a fool of herself… And dragging Mr. Harvey down with her."Elara took a detour around the crowd to avoid the spectacle. Meanwhile, Niamh smirked triumphantly as she watched Elara slink away.Harvey forced himself to approach her. "What the hell are you doing?"Niamh stood on her tiptoes to throw an arm around his shoulders. "Dude, I'm throwing you a divorce party!"Harvey pulled away, looking somewhat disgusted. "Keep your voice down. Do you think this is something to be proud of?"But Niamh wasn't fazed. If anything, she looked downright delighted now that Harvey and E

That white dress had been the best outfit Elara could wear out at the time.Niamh called out cheerfully, "Hey, sweetheart, come over and have a drink with us."The woman looked terrified, and she was frantically shaking her head. "I-I don't drink."A sneer pressed against the back of Niamh's throat. She glanced at the men in the room and asked, "So, this is your type, huh? All innocent and harmless? Even I feel like taking pity on her.""This little white rabbit is definitely appealing!""If Harvey's interested, we won't compete with him for her."Niamh's grin widened. "Don't be scared, sweetheart. Sit next to me. I won't bully you."The woman slightly lowered her guard upon hearing that and hesitantly walked toward Niamh.Niamh shoved a glass of liquor into her hand. "Come on, give Mr. Fisher a toast."Then, pushing against the woman's back, she forcefully guided her in front of Harvey. The woman then looked at the man's cold and distant profile.She called out trembling as

Paisley stood at the center of the stage and bowed, thanking the audience. Meanwhile, the auditorium erupted in thunderous applause. Several parents who knew Rosalie turned to praise her."Ms. Fisher, you've done such a wonderful job raising her.""Paisley's dancing was beautiful. With her on stage, the whole performance became so pleasing to watch."Parents from the same class chimed in as well. "Rosalie made the right call by having Merida step down from the rehearsals. If Merida had performed, it definitely wouldn't have turned out this well.""Exactly. Rosalie really has great foresight."As they spoke, their glances drifted—intentionally or not—toward Elara.In the microcosm of the school community, parents were sorted by social circles. Even if they acknowledged Elara's competence, to them, she still had no real backing.And without that, she might as well have had nothing. In the world of elite parents at one of Capitol's top schools, Elara stood on shaky ground. Those ho

Rosalie let out a disdainful snort. "Does someone like Elara even deserve to step into the Fisher family's circle?"Her voice turned icy and shrill. "She's only dragging me down!"Luxury brands existed precisely to distinguish those who could afford them from those who couldn't. If commoners could easily buy Louis Vuitton or Hermès, how would the wealthy flaunt their status?Ever since Elara married into the Fisher family, Rosalie felt her own standing had been diminished. Now that Elara had been kicked out, Rosalie wouldn't give her another chance to mingle with high society.Harold lowered his voice. "Put in a good word for me with the Fisher family. Help me become Xavier's tutor."Though Beau had resumed his elite homeschooling, Xavier still attended the same classes—and far outperformed him. Harold had a strong premonition that the Fisher family would focus on cultivating Xavier.Though not Leonard's biological son, Xavier was his sole heir since Leonard had no children of hi

Rosalie took her seat beside Harold and immediately noticed him repeatedly glancing in Elara's direction."What are you looking at?" Her voice turned dangerous.Harold instantly trembled, quickly straightening his posture. "Nothing! I wasn't looking at anything!"Rosalie wouldn't let it go. "You kept staring at Elara! Why were you looking at her?"Flames burned in Rosalie's eyes as Harold hurriedly explained, "I just saw Xavier sitting in her lap and got curious! I never expected that child to be so close with her."He then gossiped with Rosalie, "Do you think if Elara dotes on Xavier like this, she might end up becoming Harvey's aunt?"A mischievous smirk spread across Harold's face."Only vulgar minds would come up with such vulgar thoughts!" Rosalie snapped.As a Fisher family member, her first reaction was utter disgust at such disgraceful speculation. How could she ever hold her head high in Capitol's elite circles if this happened?"How could Leonard possibly do such a t

Xavier eyed his surroundings warily, refusing to let anyone touch him as he walked between bodyguards. The backstage area bustled with people and large props. Some children wore exaggerated stage makeup and brightly colored costumes.Like a kitten caught in traffic, Xavier trembled with fear at the unfamiliar environment."Xavier!" Merida's loud, cheerful voice cut through the noise.Spotting Merida and Elara in the crowd, Xavier's dark eyes immediately lit up. He broke into a run toward them.Merida dashed forward too, leaping to meet Xavier. She scooped him up effortlessly, lifting him high into the air.Xavier soared upward, his face breaking into a smile at Merida's beaming expression.After spinning him around once, Merida carefully set him down—knowing more spins would make him dizzy."Xavier! I'm so happy you're here! Did you come to watch my performance?"Xavier nodded earnestly.His fingers reached out to touch the fringes on Merida's vibrant pink costume, his admirin

Rosalie's lips curled into a mocking smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Of course, you'd get selected no matter what you perform. I mean, having a school board chairman for a father does wonders."Nearby parents exchanged knowing glances.Elara asked calmly, "Ms. Fisher, did Harvey say something to you?""Not at all," Rosalie replied."Then are you just spreading rumors?" Elara continued. "My daughter's performance earned the arts department's approval. What does that have to do with the Fisher family?"Rosalie lifted her chin, her gaze turning condescending. Since Elara's divorce from Harvey, Rosalie had looked at her like royalty observing an ant beneath her feet."The arts teachers only approved it because Harvey's on the board."Elara simply smiled. Rosalie was clearly trying to pick a fight, but Elara wasn't interested in proving herself. She had no intention of arguing over whether her daughter's opportunity to perform was the result of favoritism from Harvey.Instead, sh

Niamh's mouth opened, her voice trembling as she muttered, "Why… Why would Harvey say that?"By pushing all the blame onto her, wasn't Harvey essentially sentencing her to death? It was no wonder Abel wanted to kill her! Niamh shivered violently, feeling as if her heart might split apart.Abel pointed at her face and growled, "After I break your legs, I'll drag you to the Fisher family to beg Harvey's forgiveness!""Dad! No! Harvey's lying! What he's saying isn't true!"She knew with certainty that Abel would truly break her legs. Disaster was coming for her!Benjamin interjected coldly, "What you should consider is why Harvey would say this. Regardless of the truth, when Harvey shifts all the blame to you, it means you've become worthless to him!"To him, you're just a scapegoat now!"Tears welled in Niamh's eyes. Had Harvey forgotten Dawn's dying words? How could he do this to her?"Dad, I've been framed!" Niamh murmured despairingly.Abel refused to listen. "I don't care if

The hospital room door suddenly swung open from the outside. Benjamin entered to find Abel pressing a pillow over Niamh's face.Without hesitation, he charged forward, shoving Abel away with his body. Abel stumbled backward onto the nightstand, still clutching the pillow in both hands."What the hell are you doing?" Abel roared at Benjamin as he looked at him, as if the younger man had interrupted him trying to discipline Nimah.Benjamin saw Niamh's eyes rolling back. Her face had turned blue, mouth gaping but unable to draw breath. He immediately administered chest compressions, reviving Niamh just in time.Abel threw the pillow at Benjamin. "How dare you push me?""You nearly killed her!" Benjamin snapped back.Spittle flew from Abel's mouth. "She's disgraced me personally and ruined our family's standing in Capitol society!"Benjamin retreated a step with a cold laugh. "Then go ahead and kill her!"Saving lives was instinctual, but now he regretted intervening. Had he stayed

"Wah!" Beau burst into loud sobs, his cries weak but desperate."I want Mommy! Daddy! I only want my mommy!"Harvey's handsome face froze over with icy detachment. Without another word to Beau, he turned and left the children's room.When the door closed behind him, Beau's wailing became muffled.…Harvey returned to his bedroom, but even in the quiet emptiness, he still couldn't catch his breath. A cold sensation crept up from his feet.Striding to the walk-in closet, he yanked open every drawer. He pulled out ties, watches, cufflinks, and pins, scattering them across the floor.Did Elara give him this one? Did she buy him that? Frustration crept in as he realized he couldn't remember.The gifts from business associates stood out clearly in his memory, but he couldn't distinguish which items came from Elara versus his stylist. With growing dismay, Harvey realized he'd never properly looked at any present from Elara—not even once.Now he couldn't recall which accessories were

Beau was laying on the bed. His large, pitch-black pupils occupied most of his eye sockets, leaving only tiny whites that emitted a faint blue glow in the dim room.Harvey opened his mouth, only to feel as if someone had stuffed a wad of paper down his throat. His voice caught abruptly. Yet Beau's gaze was still brimming with longing and expectation.The boy tightened his grip on Harvey's sleeve."She already divorced me..." Harvey said slowly.How could he possibly reconcile with Elara? He would never return to what he'd left behind. After all, when they signed the divorce papers, he declared Elara would be the one begging him!When they obtained the divorce certificate, the thought of turning back never crossed his mind! Even if Elara had pleaded with him, it would still be impossible!Yet for Beau's sake, Harvey decided to make his greatest concession."If your mother comes begging for reconciliation, I'll consider it." As he spoke these words, Harvey clenched his fist—the st
