There's No Turning Back Chapter 227
"Luna! It's so nice to meet you!" Beau's clear voice rang out, but the moment he saw the person sitting inside the lounge, he froze.Elara had just been about to step into the dressing room when her gaze met Beau's. His excitement vanished instantly. His face stiffened, and he stared at her, dumbfounded."Why are you here?"Behind Niamh and Beau was a swarm of people. A photographer immediately turned the camera lens toward Elara and Lesley.Seeing so many people blocking the doorway, Lesley panicked slightly and instinctively edged closer to Elara."Elara, what are you doing in Luna's lounge?" Niamh's shock made her voice jump an octave.Meanwhile, Beau studied Lesley carefully, his eyes widening. "Are you Luna?"As soon as he spoke, he scratched his head in confusion.Lesley was wearing an oversized gunmetal-gray tracksuit. Her tall, lean build, sharp facial features, and extremely short-cropped hair gave off an androgynous look.At first glance, most people assumed she was

Beau knew his words would be a thorn in Elara's heart. He intended to use that thorn to stab her.After speaking, Beau looked at Elara like a victor, waiting to see her show pain or sorrow. After all, the ones closest to you would always know how to hurt you the most.A woman like Elara, who was born in the countryside and utterly clueless about racing, was never worthy of being the mother of the Fishers' heir."Beau, what if I win first place in the exhibition race?" Niamh narrowed her eyes, unable to hide the growing chill in her smirk.Beau's words had thoroughly annoyed her. She had poured her heart into him and spent so much effort trying to win his favor.Yet at the mere mention of Luna, Beau completely forgot his promise to help her become his new mommy.After that night at the bottom of Mistvale Ranch's slope, the strong and invincible image Beau had of Niamh had already crumbled. What kind of strong person would get spanked by their dad?Even he had only been slapped te

"Do you know who I am?" Niamh screamed as she flashed her participant ID at the staff, demanding they take a good look.However, the staff members exchanged looks of awkward disbelief after glancing at her credentials. Niamh's name was already infamous in this competition."Of course, we recognize you. You're Ms. Niamh Jones, the so-called amateur racer without a racing license. Since this is your first time participating in an international event, allow me to educate you."The staff member enunciated each word clearly. "Do not trespass into other racers' lounges!"Scanning the room, the staff then asked, "Who let you all in?"The lighting crew and photographers instinctively turned to Niamh. She puffed up her chest and declared, "They're with me!"The staff's patience snapped, their voice dropping into an aggravated growl. "The race is about to start. You probably brought this whole crew here to disturb Luna!"As soon as those words fell, a loud bang echoed through the room. A

Elara's brow furrowed slightly, a fleeting trace of worry passing across her face.She had been trying to correct Beau's temperament for the past five years, but everyone in the Fisher household reinforced the belief that he was always right. Just because he was the eldest grandson and future heir of Fisher Corp, he was made to believe that no matter what he did, he was never wrong.Once he developed a bias against his own mother, a mountain had formed between them—one that seemed impossible to move.Elara then walked over to the cabinet. She picked up her helmet before saying to Lesley, "Turn on your phone's flashlight for me."Lesley switched on her phone's flashlight and stepped closer. She asked, "What's wrong?"Elara directed Lesley to shine the light inside the helmet. The moment the beam hit the interior, several tiny insects that were smaller than grains of sand, flew out. The bugs collided with the bright light, making them somewhat visible.Lesley stared in shock. "How

Hearing footsteps, Harvey turned his head and saw a woman in a racing suit approaching. The bright daylight streamed in from behind him, casting light over his shoulders.He recognized the helmet in her hand—it was Luna's signature helmet. The deep midnight blue surface was adorned with a golden moon surrounded by stars.Meanwhile, a large shadow obscured the upper half of her body. But as she stepped out of the darkness, Harvey instinctively held his breath.Luna wasn't wearing her helmet. Which meant he was about to see her real face!Elara also found it unexpected. Was Harvey waiting for her on purpose? She then came to a stop, remaining within the shadow.The man turned fully toward her, one hand tucked into the pocket of his tailored trousers. His posture was upright, broad-shouldered, and imposing. Under the perfectly fitted custom suit, every line of his physique seemed meticulously sculpted."I didn't expect you to be someone who doesn't keep their word, Luna. You didn't
There's No Turning Back Chapter 232
Luna's chin was small and delicately rounded, and her face was a soft, full oval. Her lips, which were like ripe cherries, contrasted against her straight, elegant nose and gentle, expressive brows. She had swept her dark hair into a neat bun, with only a few wisps falling lightly around her ears.Harvey knew that face too well. He froze completely, his entire body stiffening as his eyes widened in disbelief, staring straight at Elara. His mind went blank.Why did Luna have the exact same face as Elara? How ridiculous! Was he still trapped in some absurd, fevered dream?Thousands of spectators roared from the grandstands, their voices surging like a tidal wave, crashing into him with deafening force. The shock jarred him back to reality. Elara, on the other hand, didn't even glance at him.She walked right past, treating him as if he weren't even there. Harvey reacted instantly, surging forward and grabbing her wrist."What are you doing here?"His gaze burned with doubt and disb

Harvey lunged forward, reaching for Corona's door, intending to drag Elara out of the car. Several staff members immediately rushed in, positioning themselves between him and the vehicle."Mr. Fisher, the race is about to start!""Mr. Fisher, please do not interfere with Luna's preparations."Harvey snapped, "The person in Corona is Elara Jones! She can't possibly be Luna!"The words weren't just meant for them—they were meant for himself. The car door locked shut, and Elara drove Corona toward the track."Move!" Harvey, who was strong enough to hold his own, shoved aside the staff blocking his way and ran toward the edge of the track.Elara warmed up Corona but never stepped out. As soon as Corona rolled onto the track, the crowd in the grandstands erupted in cheers."Luna! Luna!" Tens of thousands of racing fans shouted her name.Their devotion was evident. As Corona approached the starting line, many were overcome with emotion, and some were even shedding tears.But why had

"There's a saying that goes, you can't polish a turd, and it couldn't be truer for Niamh!"Her driving is embarrassingly amateurish! We gave her a top-tier modified race car, and she hasn't even floored the accelerator!" one engineer scoffed."I'm packing my bags and heading home. I refuse to stay and witness this humiliation!"On the track, the gap between Niamh and the other racers widened with every passing second. She kept waiting for someone ahead to make a mistake, but every single driver was pushing full throttle.No one showed any signs of slowing down. Panic crept into her eyes—if none of them faltered, she would finish dead last.Her expression darkened. There was no way she would allow that to happen. However, she still had a trick up her sleeve.Meanwhile, Beau stood by the glass window in the VIP lounge, clutching a model of Corona's race car. He jumped up and down excitedly, chanting, "Go, Luna! Go, Luna!"Ethel, who was seated comfortably in her chair, watched the

Theodore was truly a frightening man! Yet Elara didn't find this off-putting.Wasn't this exactly the sort of thing he would do? She had sensed this man's calculated advances from the moment he began appearing frequently in her life.Soon, Cassie left, and Elara sat in her office chair, moving back slightly."You can come out now," she commanded.Her voice had regained its composure. "You should have recovered by now, right, Mr. Snapp?"Theodore emerged from under the desk, which had been relatively cramped for someone of his size. He blinked at her, his eyes brimming with amusement as he asked, "Was that fun?""I almost fell for you," Elara blurted out, her voice carrying a more teasing tone.The man looked slightly disappointed. "So, you didn't fall for me after all?"Persistent, he leaned forward and lowered his voice to ask, "Did it feel good when you touched me earlier?"Elara's bright eyes sparkled with light as she had to admit, "I didn't expect you'd feel so nice to to

If one word could describe Theodore, it would be "insatiable!"The spasms emanating from Elara's abdomen made her aware of the unusual sensations in her body. In the warm early summer afternoon, even the air in the office seemed to grow heavy and humid.She felt as if an electric current had struck her, sending a tingling sensation up from the base of her spine. Her lips parted slightly, and she couldn't help but feel an intense curiosity about Theodore."Why would someone like you be interested in someone like me?" Elara's voice fell from above him."Hmm? Someone like me? What kind of person am I?"Theodore looked up at her with an expression that seemed completely vulnerable, as if offering himself to be commanded by her.Seated in her office chair, Elara lowered her gaze. As she looked down at this man, a strange and subtle thrill arose in her chest.She finally understood what it meant to gaze down from a position of power. It felt as though butterflies were dancing wildly i

Harvey was annoyed by Ethel's interference in his love life. Elara's decision to divorce him undoubtedly had something to do with Ethel's meddling."I recall that Uncle Leonard has been looking after the Shelton family. Didn't the Sheltons' daughter go abroad to study with Uncle Leonard's letter of recommendation?" Harvey asked."That's ancient history," Ethel replied. "I hear she has done quite well for herself in Melcina. She's returned and taken a position at Quantum Tech under Price Nation."Harvey was about to leave, but he stopped in his tracks when he heard a certain phrase from Ethel."What position does Ms. Shelton hold at Quantum Tech?"Ethel was delighted—Harvey was showing interest in Angie.She described enthusiastically, "I heard she's highly regarded by Priscilla. Since she's joined Quantum Tech, she must be in a top position.""Isn't Elara the one in charge?" Harvey thought. He quickly realized this meant Elara's position at Quantum Tech wasn't secure.Harvey re

Perhaps it was because he had spent recent days shoveling manure for fertilizer, cleaning pigpens, and herding cattle and sheep, but Harvey's germaphobia seemed to have been cured.He crouched down and began searching through the pile of garbage.Seeing Beau standing idly nearby, he sternly commanded, "What are you standing around for? Help me look! If we don't find the stethoscope, you won't be eating dinner!"Beau finally understood the gravity of the situation. With fear and trepidation in his heart, he looked at the garbage scattered on the ground with a miserable expression."Daddy, can I at least have a pair of gloves?""Look!" Harvey roared. "If we don't find it, I'll throw you in the trash can!"For the first time, he had completely lost patience with his son. Flames seemed to shoot from his eyes, and the features of his face were tense and sharp.Beau trembled, held his breath, and crouched down. With a disgusted expression, he began searching through the garbage while

Harvey froze in shock. He pulled back the covers, finding nothing on the bed. He spun around and darted out of his room, leaving a sharp, cold breeze in his wake.Outside his room stood a bodyguard assigned by Leonard. Harvey then grabbed the bodyguard by the collar."Where's my stethoscope? Who told you to touch my stethoscope?" he demanded.The bodyguard was bewildered. He gripped Harvey's hand in displeasure. "Mr. Fisher, please calm down. I don't know what you're talking about."Hostility flashed in Harvey's eyes as he breathed heavily and questioned, "My stethoscope that I put under my pillow—who took it?"The bodyguard thought for a moment. "I did see Mr. Beau playing with a stethoscope this morning. I'm not sure where he got it from."Harvey's pupils constricted sharply. Beau had entered his room and taken his stethoscope?That little brat!Beau, dressed in a gray monk's robe, was surrounded by visitors who had come to the chapel to pray. These past few days, he had been

This time, Harvey very clearly saw Elara's face deepen from a light pink to a rich, blooming rose—visibly, and in real time.Her beauty blossomed like a peony in full bloom. Her long lashes trembled several times, and her dark eyes shimmered as if brimming with tears.She looked as if… She was lovestruck. The moment that phrase crossed Harvey's mind, he was so stunned that his eyes widened in disbelief.Was Elara suddenly getting shy because of him?A strange flutter rippled through his chest. He sat at his desk, staring at the high-definition monitor in front of him, where every detail of Elara's face—even each individual eyelash—was crystal clear.He shifted his gaze to the upper-left corner of the screen to glance at the small preview of himself.After Leonard had driven him up to the mountains, the priest at Atkina Church had given him a haircut. Since he was neither a monk nor formally ordained, it was just a close-cropped cut, not a full shaving of the head.He looked at h

Theodore's eyes gleamed like sunlight shimmering over a lake. He looked like a large dog trapped in a cage, gazing at Elara with unwavering intensity. If he had a tail, it would have been wagging wildly like a windmill spinning at full speed.Elara screamed internally. This had gone a little too far! Her eyes then dropped to the tip of her own shoe. The place she had kicked… had grown!"Oh!" She quickly jerked her foot back, only to feel her body tip backward uncontrollably.Just as she was about to fall, Theodore reached out and grabbed her ankle.The moment his fingers touched her skin, her heart skipped a beat. Theodore pulled her back toward the desk.Elara froze in place like a statue. Her entire body was tense, her eyes were wide, and her pupils were unfocused."Elara, what's wrong?"Harvey had seen her suddenly lose her balance and fall backward. It startled him so badly, he looked as if he wanted to jump through the screen.A wave of helplessness washed over him. Luckil

Elara looked under the desk. What on earth was going on?Meanwhile, Harvey observed Elara in her formal women's suit on the computer screen—an attire he'd never seen her wear before.Her hair was pulled back into a bun secured by a simple ebony hairpin. A few strands, gilded by sunlight, curled against her porcelain cheeks.Though she appeared to be looking down at something, Harvey's gaze and thoughts remained completely captivated by her face. Only months had passed since their divorce, yet seeing her now felt like encountering someone from another lifetime.Had time stretched endlessly during his days at Atkina Church?"El—" Harvey's throat tightened as if stuffed with paper.But he quickly regained his usual composed tone. "Elara—no, I should address you as Ms. Jones now. Had Sam not called me, I wouldn't have known you'd assumed Quantum Tech's CEO position."His voice carried that innate condescension of the privileged, laced with unmistakable mockery."Why are you hiding

Elara stood still as she gazed at the tall, distinguished man before her. Meanwhile, Theodore looked up and smiled at her against the light."Why are you so far away?"Elara stepped toward him, teasing lightly, "I wanted a good look at you.""Then you'll need to come closer." Theodore leaned forward, closing the distance between them.Though she stopped a step away, their faces nearly touched. Elara instinctively held her breath as her eyes locked on him."Can you see clearly now?" Theodore asked."Mm," Elara replied."And?""So handsome." Elara praised him sincerely. "You're one of the most attractive men I've ever seen!"She truly meant it. Theodore chuckled through his nose. She'd seen plenty of handsome men in her life—Finnegan, Harvey, and Leonard. Especially Leonard, whose looks even made Theodore feel somewhat threatened."My face is the least remarkable part of me." He declared confidently.Images of those shirtless photos Theodore had sent flashed through Elara's mi
