Semua Bab There's No Turning Back: Bab 161 - Bab 170

A few months ago, Elara had been nothing more than a speck of dust clinging to the hem of Harvey's coat—something he'd brushed away without a second thought.When they divorced, he refused to give her a single cent. He wanted her to experience firsthand how difficult life would be for her and Merida without his protection.He had been so sure that Elara would come crawling back like a stray dog that had wandered off for a while. She'd look filthy and desperate while wagging her tail and begging for scraps.And yet, in just a few short months, he had somehow lost the right to negotiate with her? Harvey found it both ridiculous and laughable.He was the CEO of Fisher Corp, a man who stood at the pinnacle of the Capitol business elite. Meanwhile, Elara was just indulging in empty bravado.The next second, her calm and composed voice rang out. "Ladies and gentlemen, Harvey Fisher and I are divorced. We are completely separate individuals now."Not only will I have nothing to do with

Benjamin looked into her wide, innocent eyes and smirked with amusement. "In our world, having a woman by a guy's side isn't called dating—it's called following."Wendy frowned in confusion. "So, are you saying you don't have a 'follower' right now?"Benjamin opened his mouth as if to respond but then shut it again.Wendy clenched her uninjured hand. This was Niamh's brother. If she stayed by his side, it might be the perfect way to expose Niamh's true face effortlessly.She stared at him timidly while putting on an air of wide-eyed innocence. "If I become your follower, do I get a salary? Do I get weekends off?"Will you pay for my health insurance and benefits? If you can offer me something good, then you won't have to live like a monk."Benjamin ran his tongue over his molars. "That's not what I meant by following."Wendy looked as delicate and harmless as a flower. She bit down on her soft, pink lower lip and asked, "Am I your first follower?"Benjamin's lips curled into a

"Mr. Fisher is not a white rose!" Elara's firm rebuttal sent a jolt through Theodore's chest.So, Leonard really was her main boo? Even so, he still had a chance to be the side piece!Elara continued, "Mr. Snapp only got it half right. Mr. Fisher is more like a sacred rose as he endures pain and hardship without ever speaking of it."She noticed Leonard rubbing his knee and immediately stepped forward. From the small storage compartment behind his wheelchair, she retrieved two medicated knee patches."Let me put these on for you.""Sorry to trouble you," Leonard responded somewhat lightly.Elara knelt and carefully secured the patches over his knees. Leonard's gaze darkened as he watched the top of her head. A second later, his eyes shifted toward Theodore.In the confined elevator space, the two men locked eyes in a silent battle of wills. Meanwhile, Elara didn't notice any of it.But the bodyguards standing beside Leonard did. They witnessed the unspoken confrontation with sh

As the Jeep pulled out of the garage, Harvey approached Leonard and greeted him respectfully, "Uncle Leonard.""You're an absolute disgrace," Leonard remarked, his blunt words instantly draining the color from Harvey's face.Without sparing him a glance, Leonard continued, "If I hadn't told you back then that I had taken in an exceptionally gifted student…"If I hadn't tacitly allowed you to fund Elara's education… Perhaps everything would have turned out differently."Harvey's gaze fell to the blanket draped over Leonard's legs. His lashes lowered, concealing the storm brewing in his eyes. "Uncle Leonard, what exactly are you trying to say?"A scoff escaped him. "You never make the wrong decisions. Every word you speak is treated like gospel truth by my father and grandfather."What's this right now? Are you telling me even you have regrets?"For the first time, Harvey felt Leonard wasn't so untouchable after all. So, even he was capable of making mistakes.Harvey lifted his c

Elara didn't think too much about it and simply bragged to Merida about her brother. "Your Uncle Finn's lunch boxes are legendary!"They're not just delicious—they're a work of art. When you open the lid, the aroma alone can travel for miles!"Finnegan seemed to recall something and let out a sigh of regret. "Unfortunately, your mom and I are going to be really busy soon. I probably won't have time to make one."Merida immediately slid off her chair and bolted to her room. Within moments, she came running back while clutching a stack of papers."Uncle Finn, can you come with Mommy and me to the school's parent-child outing?"Finnegan took the document from her hands, glancing down thoughtfully.Worried he might say no, Merida quickly added, "Uncle Finn! Please, please!"It's okay if you scare the other kids! It's okay if you don't understand the game rules! I don't care about winning the Perfect Family! I just want you and Mommy to go with me!"Finnegan was somewhat baffled. Di
