Semua Bab There's No Turning Back: Bab 511 - Bab 520

"You want a high position in Fisher Corp? What makes you think you're qualified?" Harvey's voice carried no trace of mockery.But that air of superiority, that sense of being above everyone else, was hardwired into him.He wouldn't stoop to mock the insignificant, but in his world, that's exactly what everyone else was—insignificant and unworthy of his attention.Angie's face went white as a sheet. No one had ever treated her with such blatant disrespect.She'd always prided herself on her overseas education in Melcina, her published work, and her reputation as an up-and-coming talent on Aempleforth Street.Yet in Harvey's eyes, she was worthless trash.Angie's face flushed from pale to crimson. "Then why did you invite me into your car?"Harvey's eyes dropped, his striking features set in stone, radiating the irritation of someone who didn't have time to spell things out for a fool."Starting tomorrow, you'll serve as my personal assistant. Clock in daily and work for Fisher C

Harvey reached out, running his fingers along the golf club. His mind was filled with the image of Elara gripping that iron rod and smashing the signal receiver.Plastic shards were flying everywhere, and she didn't even blink. It was an expression Harvey had never seen before, yet it set his blood on fire.The unmanned truck slammed into the test facility wall, sparks erupting as fire spread rapidly. He could smell the burning wreckage as he watched Elara approach him with the roaring flames behind her.Her long hair whipped in the wind, the edges singed and curled from the intense heat. Her face remained composed, her dark eyes fierce and untamed like a wild predator's, radiating an untouchable defiance.When Harvey was younger, he'd fantasized that his other half should be a woman who could stand as his equal. They would stand side by side—rivals and yet the most intimate of lovers.Later, he'd abandoned such thoughts when he realized how difficult it was to find someone like h

Harvey's dark eyes were tainted with desire, becoming infinitely darker in the night. This was madness! How could he have such a bizarre dream?The scenes he'd dreamed about made him feel ashamed, even thinking back on them. Harvey grabbed the sheets and felt the dampness. He bolted upright in bed.Standing under the shower head, he took a cold shower, but the fire burning inside his body still wasn't extinguished. When he emerged from the bathroom, he walked toward Elara's bedroom.After the staff had cleaned it out, Elara's room had become completely empty. Harvey tossed and turned on the bed where Elara used to sleep. The bedding that was washed several times over had completely lost any trace of Elara's scent."Daddy."A child's voice suddenly rang out, startling Harvey. He sat up, bracing himself with his hands, and saw Beau in his pajamas. Both of his hands were gripping the door handle as he stood timidly in the doorway.Harvey snapped coldly. "It's so late. Why aren't you

"Harvey, your secretary actually made me buy 18 cups of coffee! The task list he gave me is all about printing documents and binding them into booklets!" Angie stormed up to Harvey to complain.Harvey stopped walking, his expression cold as he said, "Can't you handle these tasks?"After taking a deep breath, Angie emphasized, "Your secretary has me doing grunt work. You need to understand that Ms. Price paid top dollar to headhunt me back from Melcina."She offered me a director position at Quantum Tech. If Elara hadn't swooped in and stolen it, I would've definitely become the top executive at Quantum Tech."Harvey scoffed lightly. "Either leave Fisher Corp and go back to Quantum Tech, or do your job as an errand girl."Angie stared at Harvey, her pupils dilating. Before she could speak, Harvey continued, "If you can't even handle such simple grunt work, Fisher Corp's janitorial department is still hiring. You can at least sweep floors, right?"Angie nearly ground her molars to

Merida said, "This is the new outfit Mommy specially wore for our birthday that day. You probably haven't really looked at this dress before, have you?"As Merida spoke, Beau's head dropped down.Merida continued, "That day was really awful for Mommy and me. We'd been looking forward to celebrating our birthday with you for days, but we didn't get to celebrate properly."Mommy still has the dress she wore that day, but because of all the sad memories attached to it, she probably won't wear it again."She added, "Beau, we won't be able to celebrate our birthday together next year either."Beau had an exceptional memory. When Elara had come to his birthday party, he'd only given her a cursory glance, yet he'd memorized exactly how she was dressed.He didn't know when it had started, but he'd grown increasingly irritated with Elara. Just seeing her face would make a surge of restless heat rise in his chest.Whenever Elara spoke, Beau wanted to plug his ears."Mom, you're so old-fa
