Elara's appearance was the first thing to stun netizens. For a moment, countless minds nationwide went blank.Many streamers, who had originally planned to criticize and dissect her actions, found themselves speechless. Some began rubbing their chins, and others leaned closer to their screens while adjusting their glasses.Some live-streaming hosts couldn't suppress their grins as they took in Elara's face.From all five camera angles, Elara was seen to be sitting at a light-wood table. Her coat was still damp from the rain, clearly soaked before she had even arrived. She hadn't even had time to change, and a few strands of wet hair clung to her forehead.She rubbed her hands together, blew warm breath into her palms, and only then did she start typing. She looked like a frozen snowman, but the fire inside her burned unwaveringly.The audience heard her clearly as she reported her situation to the competition officials."Azure Shores where I live just lost power, so I had to relo

Those parents woke up to find their social media accounts completely overrun by an avalanche of criticism from furious netizens."I told you not to rush deleting those apology posts! What do we do now?"The wealthy socialites held an emergency discussion in their private chat group."Even if Elara didn't cheat, it doesn't mean she'll place in the finals! Didn't you see those analysts saying other contestants deliberately held back their scores in the prelims? That's the only reason she ranked first!""Let's just lay low for a few days. When she gets crushed by all those PhD candidates in the finals, people will mock her all over again!"Yesterday, several media outlets wanted to release their interviews with Elara. However, seeing how quickly public opinion shifted, they held back the footage as they were afraid of backlash.Gingham TV, however, took the lead and released Elara's full interview. They even aired a segment featuring Faye's recorded phone call with Elara from the ni

The employees stared at Harvey, and their eyes were wide with confusion. "Mr. Fisher, do you have a cold?""Mr. Fisher, should you see a doctor? You don't look well... Your complexion seems off..."Their concerned remarks only darkened Harvey's already grim expression.Cyrus was about to step forward and scold the employees, but before he could, Harvey had already turned and strode toward the exit.Cyrus quickly caught up, pulling open the car door for him. "Mr. Fisher, I'll make sure every single one of those employees slacking off in the lobby gets written up with a docked pay!"Harvey sat in the car like a walking refrigeration unit. His icy gaze locked onto Cyrus."Oh? And you think announcing to the world that I'm Elara's 'blind as a bat' ex-husband is a good idea?"Cold sweat dripped from Cyrus's forehead. He stood frozen in place, and his lips were trembling."I... I would never think that! It's just... There's a lot of online chatter that's... not exactly in your favor.

Beau sat in front of Niamh, bouncing with excitement."Niamh! You're my only real friend! I never even dreamed that Daddy would take me to watch a race!"He pouted and added, "Compared to that country bumpkin, you're light-years ahead!"Niamh chuckled, unable to suppress the smug lift of her brows. "Do you know your mom is getting trashed online?"Beau corrected her with a scowl. "That woman isn't my mom anymore!"The amusement in Niamh's eyes deepened."Why are people trashing her?" Beau asked curiously."Elara cheated her way to first place in the math competition prelims. The Internet finally caught on—her scores are fake! There's no way she had the ability to win!"Saying that, Niamh opened X, intending to read Beau some of the hate comments about Elara. But the moment she tapped the trending list, she froze.The number one trending topic now was #ElaraJonesExHusband.She clicked on it, scanning the flood of comments, and immediately froze. She kept scrolling—post after p

She went viral that very night.From then on, she frequently took Beau out for rides, and every video of them together effortlessly landed in the million-view traffic pool.Realizing she could turn this into something bigger, Niamh started posting consistently over the past month.

"Well, slap me sideways and call it a miracle!" Tobias cursed outright."Dr. Snapp!" Wayne frowned in displeasure."You're just a walking bowl of poison soup filled with bad intentions!"Wayne immediately went silent."Why hasn't the government used your face to test bulletproof vests yet?" Tobias scoffed. "And now you're telling people to withdraw? Your scheming is so loud, it's giving me a headache!"Listen up—Elara is not dropping out! With her skills, she's going to take the gold medal!"Wayne chuckled. "Dr. Snapp, you must not have heard yet. Thanks to numerous requests from the contestants, the finals now have an additional challenge round."The top 20 finalists can challenge each other to head-to-head problem-solving duels."The other students looked at Elara as if they were just waiting for her to embarrass herself."Your prized student winning this challenge round? Not going to happen. A housewife winning gold? Yeah, in her dreams."Elara finally spoke. "Wayne, if I

Elara's mind instantly conjured four words: Firm. Round. Smooth. White.Theodore turned his head and met her gaze. The look in his eyes made her feel as if he had read her thoughts.A wave of embarrassment hit her, and she quickly stepped forward, pretending nothing happened. "Let me help you."Theodore was overjoyed.His effort hadn't been in vain—he had been repeating the same motion of applying medicine to his back ever since Elara entered the restroom. The moment he sensed her glance, he deliberately spilled the medicine onto his pants.Elara took the bottle from him, dipped a cotton swab into the liquid, and gently applied it to the wound on his back.The doctor who had stitched him up had done a superb job. If not for the faint redness around the area, it would have been impossible to tell he had been injured at all."I'm sorry," Elara said sincerely. "You saved Merida, and I haven't properly thanked you."She smiled and added, "Let me treat you to a meal. If you don't fe

Theodore said, "I'm injured, so I brought in a professional driver."As soon as Beau saw Theodore, he shrank behind Harvey, like a mouse spotting a cat.The Mount Clockwork race was technically an amateur event, but since it was organized by Capitol's top social circles, everything—from the venue and prizes to the staff—was top-tier.The wealthy heirs who participated had spent an entire year dumping millions into customizing their high-performance race cars. Naturally, they needed professional drivers to stand a chance at making it into the top three.For them, winning was all about status.Of course, they usually sat in the passenger seat to feel somewhat involved, acting as co-pilots.Elara recognized almost everyone at Mount Clockwork. But despite being married to Harvey for seven years, she had never known that he also took part in off-road racing tournaments.By now, curiosity over Corona's mystery driver had reached its peak.Niamh was the first to speak up. "Mr. Snapp,

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,
