"If Elara had continued her PhD and pursued a career in research, she would have achieved far more than I have today," Jasper stated."What a top-tier case of throwing away a brilliant future for love!""She might as well have written 'foraging wild vegetables for seven years' on her résumé.""The heavens gifted her an extraordinary mind, and she used it to be a housewife and raise kids.""But why did Ms. Jones suddenly decide to compete in a math competition?"Jasper couldn't quite figure it out either. He could only sigh and say, "I hope that one day, I'll have the chance to work alongside her."The elevator doors slid open, and Jasper stepped out. The employees continued their discussion."For Elara Jones to suddenly enter a math competition… Her marriage must have hit a rough patch.""It could also be that her husband is the one supporting her participation in ALI's competition?""If her husband really supported her from the start, why did he only let her study up to a bac

The interview continued, and the conference room fell into dead silence. Throughout the rest of the interview, Elara never once mentioned Fisher Corp or Harvey.On the large screen, the CEO of NGT Group pulled out a Euconian dictionary. He flipped through the pages until he found the explanation he was looking for.Reading aloud, he said, "Not worth mentioning—meaning something is insignificant or unimportant. Oh?"The NGT Group CEO let out a surprised exclamation. "Harvey, according to your wife, you are… insignificant."Spreading his hands, he leaned closer to the screen and looked directly at Harvey, who was standing in the conference room."Your wife called you her ex-husband. Did you really get divorced from the woman who just won first place in a national math competition?"The atmosphere in the room shifted dramatically. The shareholders could no longer stay calm."Mr. Fisher, how could you and your wife get divorced?""She publicly called you her ex-husband in front of

Elara's adoptive father had leveraged a so-called past favor to pressure Harvey into marrying that woman. But now, that undeserving country girl had finally been kicked out by Harvey once and for all!Ethel's expression softened into a warm smile, as if she was basking in the glow of spring sunshine."You all should help me keep an eye out—find a few well-matched, respectable young ladies from Capitol."It's time to start arranging marriage meetings for Harvey. My precious grandson can't grow up without a mother's love."The socialite wives immediately became animated, eagerly inquiring about the kind of daughter-in-law Ethel preferred.Just then, someone suddenly gasped, "Oh! Elara was interviewed by Gingham TV! She's making waves—she actually placed first in the ALI Math Competition preliminaries!"The moment Elara's name was mentioned, Ethel's smile instantly dropped.Meanwhile, the other elite wives were buzzing with excitement."The ALI Math Competition carries an enormous

Harvey opened his eyes and picked up his phone. The "Capitol Brotherhood" group chat, created by Niamh, had 99+ unread messages.Although Niamh frequently filled the chat with endless banter alongside the other elite heirs of Capitol, Harvey had a strong feeling that today's heated discussion was mostly about him.He tapped into the chat. Someone had forwarded the ALI Math Competition preliminary rankings and tagged Niamh."The first-place winner… is your sister?""Niamh, your sister is this smart? Why have you never mentioned it?"Some, clearly just there to stir the pot, took the chance to joke."Fresh off a divorce and already winning the country's top math competition. Now, let's hear from our very own ex-husband, @Harvey, any comments?"At that moment, Niamh jumped in, tagging Harvey."Do you remember how Elara showed up with Theodore on the 7th? Well, the 7th was the same day as the ALI Math Competition prelims!"She added, acting confused, "Wasn't she supposed to have l

Harvey's expression turned solemn, his dark eyes swirling with the storm of an impending crisis.…As the Internet buzzed with discussions about a full-time housewife of seven years securing first place in a prestigious math competition, skepticism began to brew.Elara's name trended on the hot search list for an entire day, and her Gingham TV interview propelled her into the public spotlight.That evening, a high-profile Internet influencer with millions of followers dropped a bombshell: Elara's former professor was none other than Tobias Snapp, the dean of Capitol University's Faculty of Mathematics and Science.This insider source revealed that on the day of the ALI Math Competition preliminaries, Elara had taken the online test from Tobias' residence.The influencer openly speculated that Elara had disclosed the questions to Tobias, who then solved them on a whiteboard, allowing her to copy the answers directly.This, they claimed, was how Elara had shockingly topped the com

"A housewife has no business participating in a math competition!"Since the announcement of the preliminary results, the ALI Math Competition committee's phone lines had been ringing off the hook.This was the biggest credibility crisis ALI Group had ever faced in the history of the competition.As online doubts about Elara's results grew louder, the competition committee held an emergency meeting."This competition has been conducted online for years. There are five cameras, in five different angles—every contestant is monitored in real-time. Do these people think our proctoring team is blind?""A bunch of rabble-rousers, calling it a petition, yet not a single contestant has stepped forward publicly. They're only listing their school names—who gave them the right to represent their universities? They've embarrassed their institutions!""Our proctoring team reviewed Elara's exam process three times, and no cheating was found. These people online have no idea who they're picking

Elara pressed the answer button. "Hello, Mr. Snapp."Her voice was distant and polite, stripping away any hint of late-night intimacy.The man's deep, magnetic voice came through. "I saw the trending news."Elara immediately asked, "How is Dr. Snapp?""He's asleep."Hearing that Tobias wasn't affected by the online rumors, Elara let out a quiet sigh of relief.Theodore added, "I may have slipped him two sleeping pills to make sure he actually got some rest."Elara was baffled by this.She hesitated before asking cautiously, "Was he very angry after reading the accusations online?""What made him shake with rage wasn't the cheating allegations—it was the fact that his past conflict with Harold Judd from four years ago was dragged up again."Now, everyone thinks he was just jealous of a rising talent and deliberately tried to suppress Harold."After leaving Capitol University, guilt and unease had pushed Elara to block out anything related to her former school. Because of that

Tobias had been betrayed by his own student—and he genuinely believed Elara had willingly handed over her research to Harold.It gnawed at him for years. So, when he saw Elara again five years later, his emotions were a tangled mess, stuck like a bone in his throat.Theodore asked, “Do you still have an old copy of your paper?”Elara lifted a hand to cover her stinging eyes."My old laptop was ruined. Someone spilled milk on it, and it never turned back on after it crashed… Later, the housekeeper threw it away as trash."Beau was even younger at the time. While she held him in her arms, he had accidentally knocked over a glass of milk. The liquid had spilled straight onto her laptop's keyboard.Her first instinct had been to pull Beau away, making sure he hadn't been burned. She had soothed him for a long while before he was willing to leave her arms.By the time she had turned back to her laptop, the screen was already blue.Panicked, she had reached out to Harvey for help, ho

Harvey had always done things his way—everyone else had to play by his rules."I want the Black Hole, the Bugatti La Voiture Noire, and the Aston Martin Valkyrie."Elara spoke in Melcinian as she listed the three cars she wanted. These were the most expensive cars in Harvey's garage.The sharp glint in Harvey's eyes turned icy cold in an instant, as if he were trying to see through the helmet covering Elara's face."How do you know I have the La Voiture Noire and the Valkyrie in my garage?"His presence was so overwhelming that most people would have been trembling under his glare. But Elara had lived with him for years—his oppressive aura had long since lost its effect on her."A man capable of building a car like Black Hole must be a true car enthusiast. It wasn't hard to guess that these two high-performance hypercars would be in your collection. Mr. Fisher, are you willing to part with them?"Luna's explanation sounded reasonable—as a professional racer, she could easily ded

Niamh had been riding motorcycles for years, but for the first time, she truly understood what it meant to be powerless—what it meant to be utterly left in the dust.She and Luna weren't even in the same league. This was a one-sided demolition as Luna had utterly crushed her.Beau had been staring at Luna for so long that he only just now noticed Niamh lagging behind. He crossed his arms and puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction."Niamh is so slow! She's crawling like a turtle!"Harvey sat in his chair, still wearing his thick racing suit. The front was unzipped to reveal his solid, heaving chest as he caught his breath.His deep, knowing gaze remained locked on Luna. No one had ever held his attention like this before. Maybe this was the allure of extreme sports—the kind of thrill that made it impossible to look away.Elara had finished her third lap first, pulling up at the finish line before flashing Theodore a quick signal. Theodore immediately gestured to the event staff.

So much for the so-called number one female racer in Eucon—Luna was nothing special after all.Tonight, Niamh was determined to defeat Luna. Tomorrow, she would be the one making headlines!The first turn was approaching fast.Then, a sleek black motorcycle shot past Niamh with ease, leaving her in the dust.Niamh was stunned. How had Luna overtaken her in an instant?She cranked the throttle, pushing her bike to its limit in an attempt to catch up. But with each sharp turn, the gap between them only widened!"Holy shit! Luna didn't even slow down for the corners!""Unreal! This is her first time on this track—she didn't even warm up!""That's the skill of Eucon's top female racer! She's absolutely terrifying!"Niamh gritted her teeth so hard she thought they might crack. There was no way she could catch up to Elara on her own.She needed help.Just then, a plastic water bottle suddenly came flying through the air from the spectator stands, landing directly on the track.Ev

Beau's voice barely registered in the chaos, but Niamh scoffed dismissively. Harvey didn't take his son's words seriously either.Beau stared at Luna's back, blinking in disbelief. This had to be a mistake! Confusing Luna with his attention-seeking mother? That was an insult to Luna!As soon as Niamh announced her challenge, a group of young elites crowded around Luna, each eager to offer their own bike."Luna, ride mine!""Luna, take my bike!"Elara recognized every single one of them. If she removed her helmet, their enthusiasm would evaporate in an instant.These guys were a part of Niamh's closest circle. When Elara returned to the Jones family at 18, they had all been openly hostile toward her.Later, they should have at least shown her some basic respect for his sake when she married Harvey. But Harvey's attitude toward her had set the tone—if he didn't care, neither did they.Niamh then rolled out her prized motorcycle, her fingers tightening around the handlebars. Watch

Beau, who was raised under the careful guidance of the Fisher family, had seen plenty of powerful figures and grand occasions. Yet, as he stood by Corona's door to greet Luna, his heart pounded with nervous excitement.However, the person inside the car remained silent."Luna?" Beau called out as he stood on tiptoe, craning his neck curiously to peek inside.Niamh stepped out of her car and immediately felt a sense of crisis upon seeing both father and son standing by Corona's door.She strode over. "Luna, right? I've heard so much about you. I also ride heavy motorcycles. How about a one-on-one race? Let's see what you've got."Harvey had lost to Luna, so Niamh wanted to win back some dignity for him. She knew Luna was a professional race car driver, and she had heard that Luna also rode motorcycles.Yet in Niamh's mind, Luna's skills on a bike couldn't possibly be at a professional level.Plus, considering how much stamina Luna had burned during the off-road tournament, Niamh

When Corona crossed the finish line, Elara remained in a daze.Her hands still gripped the steering wheel, and she struggled to process what had just happened for a moment."Luna! You won!"Elara turned her head in a daze. Her gaze landed on Theodore, who had removed his helmet.His sharp, fox-like eyes gleamed with a triumphant light, and his smile was dazzling like scattered stars.He reached out, gently removing Elara's helmet. As he lifted it away, her dark, silky hair cascaded down like a waterfall.Elara tried to steady her breathing, her chest rising and falling from the intensity of the race. She looked up, meeting Theodore's gaze—his jewel-toned eyes reflected only her."Luna, welcome back!" She was a treasure in Theodore's eyes."You've always been the champion in my heart!" His tone was firm and unwavering.He was still high from the adrenaline rush, and his chest heaving. Even the temperature in the car was steadily rising.Elara studied him seriously and asked, "

Theodore mentally mapped out the entire off-road track once again. A smirk played at the corners of his lips, and there was a flash of amusement in his eyes."The road ahead is clear. Luna, floor it!"Corona, still racing at full speed in complete darkness without headlights, surged forward. Elara trusted Theodore completely, and at last, they broke through the blackness and caught sight of the light.The roaring engines grew louder as the race cars approached. Spectators at the finish line craned their necks, anticipation thick in the air.After entering the blackout zone, the large screen behind the grandstands had also gone dark. It left everyone in suspense—no one knew which car would be the first to emerge from the darkness and hit the final stretch.Beau stood on the railing. His tiny frame was bracing against the cold wind as his wide eyes fixed on the distance.Suddenly, a sleek black race car burst into view. The massive screen flickered back to life, and the crowd erupt

"Full throttle, left turn."Right three. Downhill coming up, ease off the gas!" Theodore said.Elara had tried to memorize as much of the off-road course as possible through the route book, but there was no time to think at this speed.At this moment, Theodore was her brain.His commands were sharp and precise. Mount Clockwork's complex terrain had unfolded like a 3D model in his mind.Like a grandmaster surveying the chessboard, he guided Elara through every twist and turn."Harvey! Go for it!" Niamh noticed Harvey picking up speed and shouted in excitement.She had long forgotten where she had thrown the co-driver's route book. At this point, she was just along for the ride.Harvey didn't need a co-driver anyway. He only trusted his own judgment.He had personally helped design and plan the Mount Clockwork racecourse, so he knew every treacherous turn better than anyone.Black Hole raced alongside the other competitors in the second pack, while Corona had already left them
There's No Turning Back Chapter 92
Niamh was sitting inside Harvey's car. A smug smirk curled on her lips as she watched two race cars close in on Corona.Among these wealthy young racers, tactics were just as important as speed. With so many competitors vying for victory, some cars had to be sacrificed to clear the way.However, Elara's sharp gaze remained calm inside her heavy helmet, completely devoid of tension or fear.With a swift shift of the gear, she sent Corona tilting. Its right-side wheels were lifted off the ground!Theodore felt his entire view tilt upward in an instant. His eyes widened, and his heart pounded violently against his chest.She was skiing!Corona's right front and rear wheels had completely left the ground, and the entire car was now charging forward at a 45-degree tilt, as if on the verge of flipping over.The driver of the car that had been trying to box Corona in suddenly felt a shadow loom over him.His co-driver turned his head—and was met with the horrifying sight of a massive,
