There's No Turning Back Chapter 234
"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

Niamh noticed Corona's hood lifting and curled her lips in satisfaction. Now, Corona would have to slow down; otherwise, it would end in a catastrophic crash.The mechanics waved their flags, signaling for Elara to enter the pit. In a racing competition, the fastest lap time determined the winner. As long as Corona's hood was adjusted in time, Luna still had a chance to secure the best result.However, Corona sped past the pit entrance without the slightest intention of stopping."She's not coming in for repairs!""With the car like that, how is she supposed to keep racing?"Even the mechanics were gaping in shock, eyes fixed on the still-speeding Corona with its hood flapping dangerously."Holy shit!"The young elites of the capital, who had been lounging with their legs crossed, all sat up straight.Some grabbed their binoculars and focused on the giant screen. Among them sat Benjamin, his eyes widening in disbelief. Seeing that Corona had no intention of slowing down, Benjam

In the grandstands, Benjamin was on the phone with Abel. "Hey, Dad, Niamh lost. Yeah, dead last, with a massive gap between her and the second-to-last finisher."As he said this, Benjamin couldn't help but burst into laughter. On the other end of the call, Abel's voice erupted in frustration."She must have glue for brains! Her head is full of mush! I told her not to go up there and embarrass herself; now look what happened! The entire Capitol knows she's a lost cause!"Abel pressed a hand to his forehead in exasperation on the other line. "The Jones family's reputation is in shambles because of her!"Meanwhile, the voices of other wealthy young men rang out in excitement."Holy shit! Is Luna actually revealing her face?""No way! The mysterious Luna is finally taking off her mask!"The elite spectators all jumped to their feet. Some raised their binoculars, locking onto Luna as she stood on the track, while others pulled out their phones, zooming in as much as possible.Benjam

"Why… Why is my pretentious mom actually Luna? Ahhh!"Beau's little face turned bright red as he threw his head back with his mouth wide open and wailed uncontrollably.…"Gosh…"In another VIP suite, Rupert, who was already kneeling on the floor, felt his body go limp the moment he saw Corona safely cross the finish line. It was as if his spine had been ripped out, leaving his upper body to collapse like a pile of noodles.Only then did he muster the courage to turn his head and look at the man standing behind him—the one who held his life in his hands.Theodore's gaze was currently locked onto the giant screen. In his eyes, there was only Elara.His hand, as meticulously crafted as a sculptor's masterpiece, rested against the glass. The veins on the back of his hand faintly surfaced, resembling the delicate patterns hidden within rare crystals.His long fingers traced the surface of the glass, gliding back and forth. From Theodore's angle, it almost seemed as though he was ge

A bright smile spread across Elara's face."Today, I returned to the track driving Corona. I revealed my identity because I want to show everyone that even as a mother, I can still shine on the racetrack."As long as you press the accelerator, face every challenge without fear, and move forward, it's never too late!"Niamh placed one hand on her hip, her mouth hanging open as she blinked in disbelief. "How could you possibly be Luna?"This had to be a joke! Was Elara seriously trying to impersonate Luna?"She is Luna!"A deep male voice suddenly rang out. Niamh turned toward the source and saw that it was Harvey who had spoken. She was stunned, all while panic creeping over her."Harvey, have you been fooled by her too..."Harvey clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged. For the past few minutes, even after the race had ended, he had remained in a state of utter disbelief.Wave after wave of shock crashed over him, leaving him completely unprepared, di

"Isn't it normal for kids to admire strength?" Niamh spoke up in Beau's defense."What's wrong with him wanting a stronger, more capable mother?"Elara shot her a look of pure disdain. "With a brain smaller than a sunflower seed, you think you're worthy of speaking to me?""Why, you little…"Niamh clenched her fists, fuming, but she had to maintain her image and couldn't curse out loud with so many people watching.She turned to Harvey, silently pleading for his support. Meanwhile, Harvey's expression was heavy. His chest was tight with emotions he couldn't find a way to release.The sun burned fiercely overhead, yet the air that filled his lungs felt like icy blades slicing through his nasal passages.His voice was cold, like the surface of a frozen lake as he said, "Your reason for revealing your true identity in front of all these people, wasn't it just to make us see you differently?"Elara let out a sharp, chilly laugh. "I don't even like you anymore. Can you stop flatteri

There had been countless times when he fell, and Elara would always rush over to pick him up without hesitation. Now, as Beau turned and was expecting to see her, his crying came to an abrupt stop when he realized the person behind him was Niamh.Niamh wiped the tears from his face. "Beau, don't be sad. I'll take you for a ride on my bike. We don't need to care about those people!"Beau sniffled and nodded. "Niamh, you treat me the best."Niamh grinned. "Of course! I'm your second dad! If I don't treat you well, who will? Let's go!"She took Beau's hand and led him to the parking lot, where she placed a helmet on his head before starting her motorcycle. The powerful machine, like a steel beast, roared to life.Just as they were about to exit the parking lot, a group of police officers appeared, heading straight for Niamh. Recognizing her by her racing suit, one of them immediately pulled out his badge."Niamh Jones! Stop the vehicle!"However, Niamh slammed the throttle down to

Harvey didn't look at Theodore. Instead, his proud gaze fell directly on Elara. "I'll cover Corona's repair costs."To him, anything that could be solved with money wasn't a real problem.Elara looked at him and asked, "She's taken a five-year-old child on a heavy motorcycle multiple times. Have you never been concerned about that?"The man frowned. "And in what capacity are you questioning me about my son?"Elara let out a cold laugh.Harvey continued, "Beau ran off after you scolded him, and the only one who went after him to comfort him was Niamh. I trust her driving skills."His tone grew even more indifferent as he added, "But as for you, whenever something happens, you have to escalate it to the highest level."You'd call the police and make it seem like the whole world owes you something. Is that the only way you'll feel joy?"Just as Elara was about to respond, a sudden wave of dizziness hit her like an invisible force crashing into her body. Her limbs tensed into spasm

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

Harold smiled as he explained, "Of course, they're talking about the most prominent figure in all of Capitol."Although Angie had lived in Melcina for years, she still kept up with the major gossip surrounding Capitol's elite families.And when it came to the most famous heir of the Snapp family, none other than Theodore came to mind. His reputation was practically legendary—everything he touched turned to gold. It was as if, with just a flick of his fingers, he could rise to the top of any industry."Does he have any business dealings with Quantum Tech?" she asked.Harold replied, "Ms. Price is interested in having Mr. Snapp's firm, Polaris Law Firm, take over Quantum Tech's legal affairs."The moment Harold said this, Angie understood that Priscilla clearly had an ulterior motive. She must be looking to shift her business focus back to Eucon, and using Quantum Tech to pull Theodore into her orbit was the first step."So, that means Mr. Snapp's visit is to discuss a legal partne

When Angie realized what she'd been saying, she quickly apologized, "Sorry, Leonard, for making you listen to my complaints all this time.""It's fine." Leonard's cool voice resonated like a struck bronze bell, sending subtle vibrations through her heart.This was the first time Angie had managed to keep Leonard on the phone for so long, though their entire conversation revolved around Elara.Leonard showing such rare patience made Angie's lips curve upward in delight."Can I call you again in the future?" She ventured the bold question, though anxiety churned inside."You may call if it's regarding Quantum Tech matters."He had glimpsed an Elara who was completely different from the respectful woman he knew through Angie's words. So, she had a temper too—how intriguing.Angie's smile stretched ear to ear as she continued, "Leonard, thank you for listening to my grievances.""Oh, right."Suddenly remembering something, Angie added, "Quantum Tech has a front-end project collabo
