There's No Turning Back (Elara and Harvey) novel Chapter 83

Those parents woke up to find their social media accounts completely overrun by an avalanche of criticism from furious netizens.

"I told you not to rush deleting those apology posts! What do we do now?"

The wealthy socialites held an emergency discussion in their private chat group.

"Even if Elara didn't cheat, it doesn't mean she'll place in the finals! Didn't you see those analysts saying other contestants deliberately held back their scores in the prelims? That's the only reason she ranked first!"

"Let's just lay low for a few days. When she gets crushed by all those PhD candidates in the finals, people will mock her all over again!"

Yesterday, several media outlets wanted to release their interviews with Elara. However, seeing how quickly public opinion shifted, they held back the footage as they were afraid of backlash.

Gingham TV, however, took the lead and released Elara's full interview. They even aired a segment featuring Faye's recorded phone call with Elara from the night before.

Upon learning the real reason Elara had been forced to take the exam at Tobias' house, netizens erupted in outrage.

Some even found proof that on the day of the prelims, Azure Shores really had suffered a sudden blackout.

"I'd like to deep-fry Elara's ex-husband, just to see if he explodes!"

"Honestly? No need. Two words sum him up: human garbage."

"The only mistake she made was being too young to tell the difference between a man and a dog."

Within minutes, #ElaraJonesExHusband shot to the top of X's trending list.

Although netizens had yet to uncover who exactly Elara's ex-husband was, that didn't stop them from cursing him and his entire family tree.

…

"Ah-choo!"

Harvey sneezed as he stepped into his private CEO elevator in Fisher Corp. Cyrus was trailing nervously behind him, phone in hand. As the elevator descended, Cyrus's face grew paler and paler.

The #ElaraJonesExHusband hashtag was trending at the top, and Cyrus nearly dropped his phone.
