Semua Bab There's No Turning Back: Bab 531 - Bab 540

The black Jeep stopped, and the car window rolled down, revealing Elara's pale, frost-like complexion."Lara!" Joy lit up in Daphne's eyes.Elara looked at her mother, her dark eyes holding only cold detachment, "I'm no longer the mother of the Fisher family's heir. Merida is my only child now. If you want someone to manipulate those two kids, you're asking the wrong person.""Elara!" Abel spoke up, "The Jones family cannot lose the Fishers! We already let you have your way once when you divorced Harvey."As my daughter and the one in charge of Jones Group, you should take responsibility for maintaining the marriage alliance between the Jones and Fisher families! If you won't be Harvey's wife, then Niamh wants to! You have to help her!"Elara let out a cold laugh. "If Niamh actually marries Harvey, the Jones family will be the joke of the entire city! Two sisters married to the same man—we'll be a laughingstock wherever we go!""What would you know!" Abel raised his voice. "I don

Abel watched Elara's retreating figure, his eyes narrowing."Mr. Fisher is angry with Niamh now because Elara's divorce made the Fishers look bad throughout the Capitol. But he definitely still has feelings for Niamh. Since she's pregnant with his child, he'll surely marry her."Daphne frowned with concern. "Will the Fishers really allow two daughters from the Jones family into their household?"Abel was so furious he could barely speak. "That ungrateful little snake!"Daphne knew Abel was cursing Elara."If only we could have stopped Elara from getting divorced back then and realized earlier that Harvey didn't like Elara, we could have arranged for Niamh to be his mistress."A grim look crossed Abel's face. "We've been fooled by Elara all along!"He'd thought Elara was a woman without opinions, that marrying into the Fisher family was the opportunity of a lifetime. He never expected his daughter to throw away such good fortune and divorce Harvey so decisively.Now it was going

Finnegan glared at Theodore with pure warning in his eyes. Even though Elara knew this was Theodore's deliberate guilt trip, she couldn't actually let him stand outside eating a burger."Let me make you some pasta then."Elara was about to get up when Finnegan said, "I'll do it."Theodore spoke up, "I want Elara to cook for me personally!"As he spoke, there was obvious smugness gleaming in his eyes. Finnegan warned him, "Don't push your luck!"Elara had already gotten up and headed to the kitchen, with Theodore following right behind."Finny says I shouldn't push my luck, so how about I give you a shoulder massage instead? You cook for me, and I give you a massage. That's fair trade, right?"His voice was incredibly enticing, making Elara's ears burn."You really are shameless," she said with a laugh."Oh, you don't want me to massage you?" If Theodore were a dog, his fluffy ears would definitely be drooping right now.Elara warned him, "Behave yourself, or my brother really

The moment Elara finished speaking, Finnegan snapped his fork in half. His face turned frighteningly dark, radiating menacing energy."Harvey, is such a bastard! I'm going to tear his head off!"Elara quietly reminded him, "Don't swear in front of Merida."Merida quickly finished cleaning her plate. Though she only half-understood the adults' conversation, she knew her presence was stopping them from talking freely. She hurriedly finished eating and slid down from her chair."Eat slower," Elara reminded her. Merida's cheeks were puffed out like a hamster as she chewed dramatically in front of Elara dozens of times.Elara grabbed a napkin to wipe her face. "Skip the playground downstairs tonight and watch some cartoons in your room instead."Usually after dinner, Merida would go down to the playground to hang out with other kids. Even though Niamh couldn't get into the complex and Merida wasn't afraid of her, Elara didn't want her daughter bothered by any drama."Okay, Mommy." Af

Theodore looked somewhat innocent when Harvey questioned him. "I'm here all the time. What's weird about that? I'm even staying over tonight!"The moment Theodore finished speaking, Harvey turned on Elara. "How can you let him stay at your place? Didn't you break up with him? Even if you two are dating, you can't just let some guy move in!"Before Elara could answer, Theodore jumped in, "I'm not as dangerous as you are. You're the one who uses drones to steal underwear. God, some people are seriously creepy!""I never stole… her underwear!" Harvey's voice clearly lost some of its intensity by the end of that sentence.Elara steered the conversation back on track. "I called you here because I want you to take Niamh with you."The moment she spoke, Niamh panicked."Elara! You can't hand me over to him! If you're going to turn me over to anyone, it should be Harvey's parents."Elara looked at Niamh. "If Elizabeth and Zachary really wanted you to be the Fisher family's daughter-in-l
