No Wife, No Life Chapter 129

Harper stood still, with Caden right behind her, their bodies almost touching.

She kept a smile on her face, while Caden shrugged, his mischievous eyes fixed on Alex, as if challenging him.

"Mr. Lavien, Harper has made her point; you ought to let her go."

He let out a mocking laugh, his words cutting deeper.

"Besides, didn't you already let her go, Alex? You divorced her, yet you still force your ex-wife to work here. Isn't that too much? Is she merely some kind of accessory to you?" He was provoking..

Harper chose to ignore it. She didn't look at Alex, seeming tired and weary, turning her head to gaze out the window.

She had truly changed. She was no longer the Harper she used to be, or maybe she just didn't love Alex anymore.

In the past, no matter who attacked Alex, she would always stand up for him immediately.

But now, she was right in front of Alex and chose to ignore it.

It was said that the one who loved you would show care, concern, and devotion, and would consider your feelings. On the contrary, the one who didn't love you would exhibit indifference, detachment, and a lack of affection.

As the truth was revealed, Alex could barely hold it together.

He clenched his fist and charged at Caden, landing a hard punch. "You did all this. You told her everything."

Caden didn't dodge. Instead, he caught Alex's fist and countered with force. "You broke our contract first. Why did Herbert die? Tell me."

In the hospital room that day, they made it clear. Alex proposed the bet, Caden won, but Alex returned Herbert, who was already dead.

How could a dead man accuse Jeremy?

Alex's eyes were red, glaring at Caden, his voice low. "I didn't do it."

"I know it wasn't you, but everything that's happened is because of you, isn't it?" Caden's tone was full of mockery.

Alex was speechless.

This situation was indeed all related to him. Jeremy dared to do those things because he had backing. He knew that no matter what he did, Alex would clean up after him.

So, Jeremy found Herbert and killed him, even framing Harper for it.

It was his indulgence that led to this outcome.

Suddenly, Alex felt weak all over. He let go of his arm and took a few steps back.

His gaze fell back on Harper's face, his Adam's apple bobbing as he tried to speak, but in the end, he said nothing.

"I've approved your resignation request. Hand over your work to Travis and Quinn. Once the last project with the Elikin Group is completed, you can leave the Lavien Group anytime." His voice was low, as if he had used up all his strength.

At this point, anything he said was useless.

"Thank you, Mr.Lavien."

She withdrew her gaze, her tone still indifferent, but her smile was a bit warmer.

Seeing this, Quinn's eyes flickered, and he spoke up, "Harper, we've worked together for years. You should understand the mutual respect and admiration we have. Staying at the Lavien Group, the Lavien Group can offer you a lot—status, wealth, shares, whatever you want."

He genuinely appreciated her abilities.

Of course, he had another deeper consideration.

If Harper left, the Lavien Group would lose a valuable asset and gain a formidable rival.

Even he couldn't guarantee he would have the upper hand against Harper.

Harper smiled. "Mr. Stewart, whatever the Lavien Group can provide me, the Elikin Group can surely afford as well."

Caden glanced at Quinn, his voice dripping with more provocation.

"As long as she wants, she can have the position of the Elikin Group's president's wife. I can even step down as president for her. Everything I have, I can give to her. I dare to do this. Can you, Alex?"

He let out a cold laugh. "The money, power, and status I'm offering represent my sincerity. No one can be more sincere than me."

Caden's tone was mocking as he said to Alex, "If you want to compete with me, wait until you are willing to give up everything."

This time, Quinn didn't say anything.Not just him, even Travis and Alex could only remain silent.

It was obvious that Caden's offer was more tempting. There was no reason to stop Harper from choosing the Elikin Group.

After speaking, the two of them left together.

Travis rubbed his furrowed brow and sighed. "One of the three pillars is gone. Can the new secretary handle this?"

With that, he seemed unwilling to stay any longer and left directly.

Alex quickly returned to his office, almost forgetting Quinn, who was closely following behind.

As he closed the door, he leaned against the desk, his eyes filled with deep pain.

"Do you regret it?" Quinn stared at him, slowly asking.

He added, "She used to love you so much."

His gaze at Alex was meaningful. "But she seems even more dazzling when she doesn't love you."

As if concluding, Quinn sighed lightly. "Now, she doesn't love you anymore."

Quinn was a shrewd businessman. He naturally saw that Harper didn't love Alex anymore.

The Lavien Group was their last tie. Her resolute departure from the Lavien Group meant Harper no longer had any attachment to Alex and wanted to sever the final connection.

Henceforth, she and Alex had no further connection.

"Harper will definitely go to the Elikin Group. The Lavien Group losing Harper is a huge loss. Harper will definitely be a strong enemy of the Lavien Group in the future." Quinn spoke directly, but it was the truth.

He the muttered, "Who will be the real winner at next month's financial summit?"

If Harper stayed at the Lavien Group, he believed the Lavien Group would have a sure win.

But now, he really had no confidence.

At this point, his only hope was that even if Harper left the Lavien Group, she wouldn't choose to be its enemy.

Leaving the Lavien Group Building, Harper got into Caden's car.

With her arms crossed and a playful smile in her eyes, she gazed at Caden. "What a clever plan you have. You want to split half of your assets with me? I think you're eyeing HoloSphere Technologies, right?"

Alex didn't know this, but Caden did.

With HoloSphere Technologies' current status, it was on par with Caden's FusionX Company. Saying he would split half his assets was more like a resource exchange.

Caden put on an innocent face, his eyes shining. "Harper, look into my sincere eyes. I'm being genuine."

He grabbed her hand. "If you don't believe me, we can go register our marriage right now and do a property notarization. From now on, you'll be the mistress of FusionX Company. If you want, you can even have the president's position. You can plan the cooperation however you like."

Harper glanced at him. "Dream on! You want me to help you run your company? No way."
