There's No Turning Back (Elara and Harvey) novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41

Harvey’s tone was firm. I can turn any signed contract into worthless paper. You’re welcome to take me to court and let the

tone

judge decide how much I owe you after seven years of marriage.”

He wanted Elara to understand–everything he had given her before was simply because of his generosity

Now that he no longer wished to give her anything, she would finally see how cruel reality could be

Yet, standing in the face of this overwhelming force, Elara felt an unprecedented calm. Because her heart was resolute

“Harvey Fisher, I know power and class divisions will always exist, but you won’t stay at the top forever.”

Harvey froze inside the CEO’s office. For a moment, he thought he had misheard.

Then, he found it utterly ridiculous. “Are you still dreaming, Elara? No matter how hard you work for the next 30 years, you’ll never stand on equal footing with me.”

The gap between them had been set at birth. She was absolutely beneath him.

A country girl brought to the capital at 18–so what if she had the prestigious Hawke University Junior Program on her resume?

Every year, thousands of students from humble backgrounds scrambled to squeeze their way into Fisher Corp

If it weren’t for the debt of gratitude he owed her adoptive father, he wouldn’t have looked at her twice.

But he had repaid that debt with marriage. And yet, she remained ungrateful

He had no time to entertain her any longer–this farce of a divorce needed to end.

“Elara, your ‘wealthy wife experience card‘ expires today.”

He chuckled mockingly. “If you want a legal battle over assets, I’ll play along

With the nation’s best legal team at his disposal, he would make sure she walked away with nothing but a meager monthly child support of three thousand dollars.

He would ensure she watched, powerless, as Bambi got expelled from her elite preschool for unpaid tuition.

She was the one pushing him, forcing him to strip away his facade of civility and unleash his true ruthlessness.

Harvey then ended the call. Elara stood frozen at the landline, momentarily unable to process everything that had just happened

A few moments later, the phone rang again. She had a feeling–it was for her

She picked up, and Frank’s voice came through.

“Ms. Jones, as per Mr. Fisher’s instructions, we’ve changed the passcode to the Azure Shores property. He has given you one hour to collect your personal belongings-

Before he could finish, Elara cut him off. “Throw everything away”

What?” Frank was caught off guard.

Elara’s voice was unwavering “Bambi and I won’t be coming back”

She ended the call and stood outside the convenience store, waiting for her ride Pulling a ripe peach from the bag she had

just bought, she wiped it on the inside of her shirt and took a big bite

Harvey and Beau only ate crisp peaches, so the household’s grocery orders always revolved around their preferences

Once, she had bought a bag of soft peaches for herself. Ethel had scolded her, telling her that no one in the family ate soft peaches.

“Mom, I do,” she had said.

Ethel had laughed at her, mocking her greed. She looked down on her for wasting money to satisfy

ty her own selfish cravings

Elara had lived among the wealthy, but they had never seen her as one of them. She had no right to

dislikes in the Fisher household.
