All Chapters of There's No Turning Back: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Dad, go easy on me!" Theodore didn't dodge and took the hit from Tobias' cane head-on.Tobias poked at Theodore's damp shirt that was clinging to his waist. "Can't you have a little dignity? You're a disgrace! Are you possessed by something?"You… You… Why… Why are you even trying to seduce her?""Shh! Keep your voice down!" Theodore quickly hushed him."Oh, right, I should be quieter. Because this is such an honorable thing to be overheard?" Tobias scoffed, feeling like his old face was about to lose all credibility.Theodore, however, smirked as he said, "If someone hears, how am I supposed to keep seducing her?"Tobias rolled his eyes so hard he nearly passed out from sheer exasperation.…Elara found a few comic books for Bambi and borrowed some paper and colored pencils from a housekeeper.Bambi was incredibly focused and could sit quietly for hours reading and drawing.Once she was settled, Elara approached Tobias' students. "Hello, Dr. Snapp asked me to complete one o

"I'm looking forward to competing with you in the tournament, Miss!" said one of the students."If you end up ranking at the bottom, now that would be interesting." The student with black-rimmed glasses sneered."The ALI Math Competition allows participants from all backgrounds, so there are always plenty of blank submissions. Every year, the ranking board is littered with zeros."Plus, the competition publicly lists each participant's name and background. You'd better be mentally prepared!"Elara smiled, somewhat unbothered. "How about this—if I rank higher than you, you wear a T-shirt that says, 'I ranked lower than Elara Jones in the ALI Math Competition' for a full week. Sounds fair?"This was the ultimate insult for students used to the ivory tower of academia. He would have to walk around Capitol University with that shirt on display.The student with black-rimmed glasses was provoked by Elara, and he rose to the challenge. "Fine! But let me tell you, I won't even demand yo

Elara raised her arm, intending to remind Bambi not to use too much strength, but Bambi had already swung her punch before she could say anything.Beryl was sent flying backward, losing his balance and crashing to the ground. His mind went completely blank."Mr. Caddel, are you okay?" Bambi quickly ran to his side.Beryl felt like a massive force had yanked him up, and he clutched his chest and coughed uncontrollably.Bambi quickly but gently patted his back."Urk!" His undigested breakfast surged up from his throat and spilled onto the floor."Ugh." Finnegan let out a cold sneer, his expression laced with disdain.Elara rushed to grab a mop and started cleaning the floor. Not far away, someone held up a phone and discreetly filmed Elara. He immediately sent the video to Niamh."Isn't this your dearest sister?"Niamh stared at the video on her phone for a long moment before bursting into laughter.She turned and walked into a private lounge, pushing the door open so hard it s

"Yay! Niamh, I'll be waiting for you!" Beau cheered and happily ended the call.Niamh shot Harvey a smug look. "Well? Impressive, right? Your son listens to me now!"Harvey warned, "Don't take him anywhere dangerous.""Relax! I know what I'm doing! Beau needs to follow my lead if he wants to grow into a real man!"…Elara returned to the boxing gym, where Beryl had been training Bambi for over half an hour.Bambi wore pink boxing gloves, and her hair was tied up in cute little twin buns. She punched the sandbag in a steady rhythm, while Beryl, who was holding it in place, took the brunt of her strength.Sweat poured off Beryl's body, drenching his shirt as if he had just been pulled from a lake.He asked while panting heavily, "You good? Need a break?"Meanwhile, Bambi hadn't broken a sweat. "I can hit it a hundred more times! One, two, three!"Even her voice was still full of energy.An hour later, Beryl collapsed onto the floor, clutching the sandbag in pure exhaustion. He

Harvey reprimanded her coldly. "Are you really holding a grudge against a child? Beau's throat is swelling—his condition is critical.""Mr. Fisher, sending a million dollars takes you only three seconds," Elara replied.A sharp breath escaped Harvey's nose. He hated being manipulated like this."Elara Jones! You're heartless! You don't deserve to be a mother!"Even as he spoke, he transferred one million to Elara.The moment she received the notification, she relayed Beau's allergy history to the doctor over the phone."Harvey." Elara's voice came through the speaker.The man scoffed. "What? Got the money and had a change of heart?""Forget it. I was going to remind you about something, but I don't think it's necessary anymore." She hung up immediately.She had wanted to tell Harvey about Beau's habit of needing his own pillow, bedsheet, blanket, and pajamas if he had to stay overnight at the hospital.In the past, she always prepared those things herself whenever she took Be
