No Wife, No Life Chapter 105

The room went dead quiet.

Caden's assistant was in total shock.

Twenty-three crashes! The car's crash resistance and durability were off the charts, way better than anything else on the market.

Meanwhile, Herbert was hunched over, puking his guts out.

His body went limp, he lost control of his bladder, and his appearance was utterly wretched.

He was hurt, but not too bad. The airbag had saved him, and aside from a cut on his forehead and some scrapes, he was mostly okay.

He was more profoundly afflicted by psychological trauma.

"Ms. Orsini, is this the new smart car your company developed?"

The assistant started clapping, eyes wide with excitement.

The car's performance was off the charts. He couldn't even begin to imagine the impact it would have on the market.

"This car is just a prototype for testing. We still need to run more experiments and make some tweaks.I"

Harper's tone was calm as she walked over to the nearly wrecked car.

Herbert finally stopped vomiting, but his face was still pale, and he looked terrified.

To him, it was nothing short of facing death time and again; the taste of that horror was seared into his very being.

"Herbert, how are you feeling?"

Harper looked down at Herbert, a smile on her face, her green eyes cold.

Herbert curled up, still trembling.

Indeed, he was gravely ill and had not long to live, which was why he had dared to harm Caden.

He received a substantial sum of money from Jeremy, ensuring that after his death, his family would have a considerable amount to live on.

But he had never faced death like this before. The repeated near-death experiences were too terrifying.

Now, he was truly scared. "Ms. Orsini, I was wrong!"

Herbert lunged to grab her leg, but she stepped aside.

Such a person, even the slightest touch from him, left her feeling sullied.

Herbert fell, rolling out of the car.

Harper looked at him coldly, her eyes full of disdain.

"If you don't plan to reveal who sent you, then don't waste your breath."

She waved to the medical staff who had been waiting.

"Check his condition after twenty-plus collisions."

The medical staff nodded and quickly examined Herbert.

Five minutes later, they had a basic assessment.

There were no serious injuries to his body, and the worst part was only his forehead that he bumped as he struggled.

Harper listened to the report and nodded slightly.

Her tone was calm but carried a chilling edge.

"I get the test results, but how is it possible that after more than twenty collisions, he's only this injured? Caden ended up in the hospital after just one crash. Does that really make sense?"

Her tone made it clear she thought Herbert's injuries weren't severe enough and that more testing was needed.

Caden's assistant caught on and turned to the bodyguards, "Make sure Herbert suffers as much as Mr. Elikin did."

Herbert, barely conscious, was dragged out and shoved into a regular car.

The car sped off, crashing violently.

Harper watched with a smile as Herbert, now covered in blood, was carried out.

As they were about to load him into an ambulance, Harper stopped them.

"In a real accident, the ambulance wouldn't arrive so quickly. If it weren't for the bodyguards, Caden wouldn't have been treated so soon."

She wanted Herbert to suffer more than Caden had.

Harper cast a cold glance at the now unconscious Herbert. "Wait half an hour before taking him to the hospital."

She turned and left, her words cold and final. "If he survives, it's his luck. If not, it's his fate."

After that, Harper got into Jacob's car.

With the windows up, it was just the two of them.

Jacob started the car and sighed, "Harper, you went too far this time."

Harper didn't think so.

All she could think of was Caden lying in a pool of blood, a sharp pain in her heart.

"Jacob!"

She called softly. "If it were you and Peyton who were harmed, I'd be even crazier."

Her voice was calm, "Those who hurt you will end up in car accidents for no reason, or they'll fall into the deep sea and be eaten by fish, suffering every moment. If you get hurt, I'll let them all leave this world in silence."

Her beautiful face made her words even more chilling.

Everyone in the business world thought Harper was graceful and elegant, but no one knew she was both beautiful and dangerous.

She liked flowers with thorns, but she herself was like a thorny blossom, and her thorns were lethal.

Jacob wasn't afraid of her.

He smiled, eyes full of affection for Harper.

Harper was more than a sister to him. No one knew how deep their bond was.

He smiled, his voice gentle, "The trunk is full of new dresses and jewelry. I know you like bright colors."

He knew Harper's tastes well.

Harper smiled faintly, but there was no lightness or happiness in his eyes.

She was worried about Caden. Had he woken up? Was he better?

Just then, she got a call from the hospital. Caden was awake.

Harper said she'd be there immediately.

Jacob didn't say much, just sped towards Serenity Health Center.

As soon as the car stopped, Harper jumped out and rushed to the elevator.

Jacob, seeing her so anxious, held her arm.

"I know you're worried about him, but he's awake now, which means he's not facing any serious problems. So you can relax." Jacob reassured her.

Harper nodded slightly.

But she still hurried out of the elevator and pushed open the hospital room door.
