There's No Turning Back Chapter 307
Niamh quickly turned to Abel, desperate to explain, "Dad! It's not what you think! This isn't the video I put up!"But Abel was beyond reason. His explicit video with Anya had been exposed in front of so many people—and it was his own daughter who had done it.Just minutes ago, he had been proudly telling the employees and executives how his two daughters had joined Joss Tech, and how the family would work together to create a bright future.His impassioned speech still echoed in the room. Yet now Niamh, his so-called devoted daughter, had delivered a crushing blow.Abel was so furious he could have ripped Niamh's head off and kicked it like a ball!"You disgraceful brat! I'll kill you!"Abel raised his foot and aimed a kick at Niamh's head. He genuinely wanted to kick her skull in! Terrified, Niamh scrambled away on all fours, barely avoiding the blow.She looked toward Elara, thinking that with so many people watching, Elara wouldn't just stand by and let her die, right?But

After giving Benjamin some medicine, he finally began to recover. Benjamin told Elara that in this household, no one had escaped Abel's beatings.Niamh had been whipped by Abel since she was a child. Over time, she began to idolize violence, imitating Abel and rejecting her identity as a woman in an attempt to fit into a male-dominated world. It was as if she believed that by becoming an abuser herself, she could avoid being the one beaten."Don't be fooled by how much he dotes on Daphne. I've seen him slap her so hard her entire face swelled up. I've always thought Daphne's screws were a little loose because of his beatings.""Why did he hit you last night?" Elara asked.Benjamin lay on the bed, his eyes blankly staring at the ceiling. "He found out I've been looking into the whereabouts of my biological parents."He turned to her. "He said the Jones family must be inherited by a man. If I go looking for my biological parents, the Jones family line will end with me."At this, Be

Elara blinked as she watched the glass hit Niamh's chest. The scalding hot water inside splashed directly onto Niamh's face, effectively giving her an impromptu wash."Ahhh! Fuck!" Niamh screamed in agony from the burn.The hot water mixed with the blood on her face, turning a faint pink as it dripped down. She scrambled frantically to get up from the couch."I'm so sorry…" Wendy spoke timidly, though her dark eyes showed no trace of remorse."You bitch!" Niamh grabbed a pillow from behind her and hurled it at Wendy, cursing loudly.Wendy didn't dodge. She merely instinctively closed her eyes.It was just a pillow. She had been hit with much harder objects by Niamh before, leaving her bloodied and bruised.Benjamin reached out and caught the pillow mid-air.He stepped in front of Wendy, shielding her, and tossed the pillow aside. His expression remained neutral as he said, "Wendy didn't do it on purpose."In his eyes, everyone in the Jones family was like a rabid dog.With co

Abel roared at Niamh, "Look at Elara! She's the only one who's genuinely working for my company!"Elara added, "But the video exposed at the banquet today has already spread throughout the upper echelons of Capitol's elite circles."She sighed softly and turned to Niamh. "Niamh, you're quite close with those wealthy heirs in our social circle. Go check if they're discussing what happened to our family."A chill ran down Niamh's spine. She had a vague feeling that Elara was setting her up.Abel urged Niamh, "Show me your phone."Niamh's cheeks were so swollen she could barely close her mouth. She shook her head at Abel, sensing that Elara was laying another trap for her.In the next second, Niamh was slapped again by Abel. Her already swollen cheeks now showed streaks of bright red, the skin stretched thin by the swelling beneath.Abel stood over her, looking down as he commanded, "Don't make me repeat myself!"Under Abel's pressure, Niamh had no choice but to hand over her phon

Niamh noticed Abel's breathing grow heavier, and she felt a slight sense of relief. It was as if she could see a glimmer of hope for turning the situation around.Finally, it would be Elara's turn to have her teeth knocked out by Abel!Abel deleted the video related to Elara from Niamh's phone album. He took a deep breath, then raised his hand and slapped Niamh again.The slap came with a whistling sound, landing hard on Niamh's face. The cotton ball in Niamh's mouth flew out, mixed with thick blood, and splattered onto the floor."Niamh Jones! You're just asking for it! You ruined me, and now you're trying to ruin Elara too."I think you want to destroy the entire Jones family! I should just beat you to death!"Abel's eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets."I didn't!" Niamh screamed as she spat out blood, the metallic taste of rust filling her mouth.Even so, her explanations were futile. She was just wondering why Abel wouldn't believe her?Abel threw

Niamh pointed at Elara, her voice urgent and frantic. "Dad! All of this was orchestrated by Elara to ruin us!"Niamh's face was swollen to the point of resembling a pig's head. When she spoke, her words were slurred and barely intelligible.Her words struck a chord in Abel, making his heart skip a beat. Abel folded the belt in half and swung it at Niamh's nose."Don't you dare try to drive a wedge between me and Elara!"Niamh was stunned. She couldn't understand why Abel had suddenly taken Elara's side."Dad, I'm the one who grew up by your side! What kind of bond could you possibly have with Elara? You never even wanted to bring her back into the family in the first place!""Shut the hell up!"Abel was furious. His reputation was in tatters, while Elara's influence was rising rapidly. He still needed to rely on her in the future, so how could he allow Niamh to sow discord between them right in front of him?Abel shouted, "Get me some duct tape!"A pale hand handed him a roll

A housewife with such ambition—it was unexpected.By allying with Theodore and publicly announcing their relationship, Elara aimed to use Theodore's enterprises to completely swallow up Jones Group.Now, as acting CEO, Elara would undoubtedly accelerate the acquisition process for Joss Tech. It wouldn't be long before she held the official signing ceremony for the acquisition.Thinking this, Priscilla curled her lips into a smile. No prey she set her sights on had ever escaped her grasp.She hadn't initially paid much attention to the minor matter of acquiring Joss Tech, but then she encountered Elara, this unorthodox housewife.Since Elara insisted on pushing forward with the acquisition deal with Snapp Group, Priscilla wouldn't hold back! Priscilla chuckled softly and picked up her phone to call Elara.Hearing Elara's voice on the line, Priscilla spoke, "Elara, I've decided to suspend our collaboration on the new tech project."Elara's voice came through, "Ms. Price, what do y

"Harvey has a fever," said the bodyguard, Aiden Calhoun."Did you give him medicine?" Elara's voice was indifferent.Aiden replied, "He refused to take it. When we tried to force-feed him, he bit my colleague's hand."He added, "He's demanding to see you."Aside from the second day after Harvey was locked up, when Elara had brought him food, she hadn't gone to see the man since. Elara realized that beating him didn't bring her any satisfaction.Back when she watched Priscilla trample over Harold in front of her, she had wondered, "Does hitting someone really feel that good?"It must have felt amazing, given how much Abel idolized violence. But after trying it on Harvey, Elara found it utterly dull.She couldn't derive any pleasure or satisfaction from trampling or bullying others. Even though Harvey was now a prisoner, she couldn't be bothered to spare him a glance.In fact, she found the stench emanating from him repulsive.Aiden told her, "These past few days, he hasn't eate

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
