There's No Turning Back Chapter 329
Theodore ignored Harvey, unsurprised by his presence. Instead, his gaze shifted over Harvey's shoulder, landing on Elara.Theodore's expression froze. His moon seemed to rush toward him, her eyes filled with concern for him.Elara walked up to Theodore and grabbed his wrist. The man looked down, surprised by Elara's grip, and his long lashes were trembling slightly.Elara turned to Theodore and said, "I know you came to see the urologist."Theodore looked at her, his dark eyes swirling with emotion. Just as he was about to speak, Elara stepped in front of him like a mother hen protecting her chick."Harvey Fisher, just stay out of our business!"Both men's expressions shifted at the same time. Theodore's lips curved into a smile, while Harvey's face darkened to the extreme.Harvey thought he could handle this calmly, but when Elara referred to their matter as "ours", and he, the ex-husband, was reduced to a complete stranger, his breathing grew labored.His hands hung limply at

Was Theodore speaking human language? Did he mean what they thought he meant?"What the hell do you mean?" Finnegan asked, genuinely confused.Seeing Finnegan's serious expression, Theodore handed over the medical records he had been holding."Finny, your brother-in-law is in perfect health."Finnegan immediately opened Theodore's medical records and read through the details of his surgery. Some of the medical terms were hard to understand. He looked up at Theodore, then back down at the records in his hands."Why did you implant an agate bead into your body?" Finnegan asked.Harvey quickly reached out to grab Theodore's medical records with a forceful grip. Finnegan then let go.After reading Theodore's records, Harvey's face turned darker than ink. His fingers trembled from the force of his grip, and veins were bulging on the back of his hand.The few pages of medical records were crumpled under his grasp. His eyes burned red as he glared at Theodore, looking like a vengeful

Elara's entire face flushed crimson. She bit down hard on her lower lip to keep herself from making a sound, but inside, she was screaming like a startled groundhog.Theodore narrowed his sharp, fox-like eyes. There was a smirk playing on his lips as he watched Harvey's dark complexion turn even darker, with veins bulging on his forehead."Harvey, why aren't you laughing? Is it just not in your nature to smile?"Elara wondered if her dizziness was playing tricks on her, because in her blurred vision, Harvey seemed to be trembling uncontrollably. Her ex-husband looked as though he had just been hit by a tidal wave of shock.Finnegan, on the other hand, remained calm. Having little experience in such matters, he had never even heard of something like this. He held Theodore's medical records in one hand and his phone in the other, searching for "the purpose of embedding beads".So, it was embedded there! Who knew such a thing was possible?Theodore's... assets were already far above

The moment Harvey saw Elara preparing to leave with Theodore, a sense of loss gripped him like an invisible hand, pulling him toward an abyss. He felt as though he was on the verge of falling into a bottomless pit."Elara!" Harvey called out, his voice cutting through the thick, heavy air.His breathing grew labored, his chest was heaving violently, and his face turned as pale as a sheet of paper."I can give you another chance! Let's make everything go back to the way it was. You'll still be my wife and Beau's mother. I can inject funds into Joss Tech to keep it running!"I just want everything to return to how it used to be!"Harvey's voice was cold, but with every word he spoke, he felt his strength draining away. His posture remained proud and aloof, but his eyes betrayed fear and despair.He was like a man standing on the edge of a cliff, insisting he was fine, even as he teetered on the brink of collapse.Elara turned to look at him. Her expression was cold and indifferent

"Harvey definitely won't make your medical records public. It wouldn't benefit him at all. In fact, it would only make investors more confident in Snapp Group's acquisition of Joss Tech."But we can't just let the fact that Harvey stole your records slide! I want him to face widespread criticism. I want him to suffer in silence, unable to defend himself!"Elara's gaze toward Harvey was now icy and resolute. When she didn't hear Theodore's response, she turned to look at him.The man was leaning slightly toward her, one elbow resting casually on the steering wheel. His mesmerizing eyes could make even a dog feel adored.Elara asked nervously, "What do you think?"She wanted to take Harvey down, but this also involved Theodore's privacy.Theodore's thin lips curved into a faint smile. "Elara, I really like this side of you.""Huh?"His sudden, heartfelt confession made Elara's cheeks flush instantly. How did he always manage to make her heart race with just a few words?"You're

Whenever Merida was upset, she would twist her backpack straps into knots."Mommy!" she called out.She walked toward Elara as her two slightly loose and crooked pigtails swayed with each step. When she saw Elara, a spark lit up in her eyes, and her round rosy cheeks lifted her previously drooping mouth into a smile.She broke into a little run toward Elara, one of her pigtails completely coming undone. Elara crouched down, pulling the hair band that had slipped to the end of Merida's hair and carefully redoing her pigtails."Did you have P.E. today?" Elara asked, puzzled.She was sure Merida didn't have P.E. scheduled for the day, so why was her hair such a mess?"We were rehearsing for the talent show this afternoon." As she said this, Merida's cheeks puffed out slightly, and the brightness in her eyes dimmed."Elara!" A woman's voice called out from a distance.Elara looked up to see Rosalie walking over while holding Paisley's hand. Whenever this woman showed up, Elara knew

Elara raised her hand and lightly tapped Rosalie's cheek. The gesture instantly silenced Rosalie."Why you!" Rosalie's temper flared."Rosalie, why is the perfume you're wearing attracting so many bugs? Ugh! There are black flies all over your hair!"Elara pretended to brush at Rosalie's head. "There are so many bugs crawling on you! How terrifying!"Hearing this, Rosalie immediately felt her scalp itch. She began patting her own hair and asked Paisley, "Are there bugs in my hair?"Paisley nodded earnestly. "Yes!"She also didn't want to hear Rosalie criticize Merida anymore."Ahhh! Let's go, let's go!" Rosalie screamed, grabbing Paisley's hand and dragging her toward their car.Elara held out her hand to her daughter. "Let's go."Merida said gloomily, "When the teacher gave me the costume, she told me I needed to lose weight."Elara took her daughter's soft, chubby hand in hers. "Remember when I took you to the gym to check your body fat? Your body fat is actually on the low

Priscilla propped herself up and sat upright. The muscular man lying beside her handed her a robe, which she draped over her shoulders.The man holding the phone kept it pressed to her ear. Her caramel-colored hair cascaded over her shoulders. Her striking beauty radiated an effortless charm even without makeup."Impossible! Wasn't her framework supposed to be the optimal solution based on our initial calculations?""Elara's work… It's too advanced. With eight thousand GPUs running simultaneously, we don't even know which stage to adjust. The junk data we've generated has already maxed out the memory."Figuring out which parts to clear to keep the framework running will require a massive amount of manpower and resources to sift through."Priscilla exhaled impatiently. "Speak plainly!"The voice on the phone continued, "We can't handle the framework Elara provided. If we activate the fail-safe mechanism by 10:00 am and switch to the backup framework, we'll lose an estimated 100 mi

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
