No Wife, No Life Chapter 134

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling, making it impossible for him to resist another round of passionate lovemaking.

He loved watching her being ravished, possessed, conquered. That thrill was something he couldn't get enough of.

Finally, Molly couldn't withstand his onslaught and drifted back into unconsciousness.

Only then did Arthur open the door and step out.

He walked to the balcony, gazing at the scenery outside. Satisfied, he lit a cigarette and then dialed Caden's number.

"I've given her your information, so you'd better not betray Harper." He exhaled a long puff of smoke.

The smoke swirled and rose slowly.

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what she might do."

After five years, Arthur knew Molly well enough. When it came to Harper, she was willing to risk everything.

Arthur added, "Her teeth are quite sharp."

Hearing this, Caden couldn't help but laugh in exasperation. "Arthur, are you bragging to me?"

Caden sneered, "Even if you have her body, you don't have her heart. Is that something to be proud of?"

"If it weren't for Harper, do you really think she would have chosen you?"

"Shut up!" Arthur barked, cutting off the call abruptly.

Hearing the busy tone, Caden couldn't help but snort.

Five years had passed, and Arthur still couldn't capture Molley's heart. Who was to blame?

In the end, it all boiled down to Arthur's own flaws—his twisted nature and utter lack of tenderness. What woman would willingly entrust her heart to a man as distorted as him?

But Caden had no interest in meddling in Arthur's affairs.

Alex had friends, and so did Caden.

Aside from those obligatory social friends who were having fun together, Caden had two very good friends, Arthur and Ronald Johnson.

They had collaborated many times, earning the nickname "The Elite Trio" of Majestic City.

They were both from prominent families, often embodying the image of toying with life, hence the nickname.

Among The Elite Trio, Arthur was the most suspicious, only caring about results. He despised useless socializing.

His status was no less impressive than that of Alex and Frank, extending into numerous fields such as medicine, real estate, and electronic intelligence. He was the designated heir of the illustrious Davis family and the president of the Davis Group.

Now, Caden finally understood why Molly chose to be with Arthur.

At the time, Harper was deeply in love with Alex, so Molly wouldn't interfere. 

At that time, the Elikin family was a chaotic mess, and Molly's attempts to seduce Caden were not well-timed. As for Frank and Travis, they seemed disinterested in matters of romance, making them naturally difficult targets.

Comparing all that, Arthur, with his unpredictable nature, seemed like the best choice.

Arthur must have been aware of this.

Arthur chose Molly for her youth and beauty, while Molly chose him for her own purposes.

It seemed like a fair trade. But Caden worried about how Harper would react once she found out.

Given his understanding of Harper and her concern for Molly, she would undoubtedly be furious if she discovered Molly's matter. It was highly likely that she would use HoloSphere Technologies against the Davis Group.

With that thought, Caden's heart sank. He didn't want things to get out of hand, with either side getting hurt.

So, he called Arthur again.

Arthur asked, "What is it?"

Ignoring Arthur's indifferent tone, Caden reminded him, "You better be ready. Once your thing with Molly goes public, Harper's gonna come after you and the Davis Group with everything she's got."

Arthur was silent for a moment before speaking coldly, "You think I'm scared of her?"

"Harper should be condemning herself rather than me. Molly is making sacrifices for her sake. The relationship between Molly and me is a mutually agreed-upon transaction—what does it have to do with Harper? If she truly cared about Molly, she shouldn't have accepted that investment in the first place. She can't have both the money and her friend's dignity."

"Arthur, watch your mouth." Caden's tone was calm but firm, "She's my girlfriend."

Arthur shot back, "And Molly's mine. Our business is none of your concern."

The two were at a standoff, neither willing to back down.

Caden paused, his tone lazy, "You know how many lies Molly tells? Has she ever said she loves you in these five years? What do you mean to her?"

"You're just a useful backer to her, but never a lover. Once she gets what she wants, she'll leave you without a second thought. Don't you see that? She's very clear-headed about this."

Arthur was silent.

But Caden could sense his anger.

Of course, Arthur was angry. Even if it was just a transaction, he wanted to win.

What kind of feelings did he have for Molly?

Was it love? Hard to say.

He wasn't exactly a moral person. His life motto was to enjoy the moment.

He just wanted to possess her forcefully!

Caden said, "What will you do then? When Harper no longer needs you, she'll leave."

After a moment, Arthur's voice was steady, as if he had made a decision, "I can marry her."

Caden felt a wave of dizziness.

He had only wanted to wake Arthur up, to make him see the reality. Before Harper discovered their relationship, Arthur should let Molly go.

That way, everyone would be happy.

But he hadn't expected Arthur to go crazy over a lover.

"Are you kidding? Do you think just because you want to marry her, Molly will agree? Have you asked her? She won't marry you."

"Of course, I'm not joking. I can give her what she wants." Without saying more, Arthur decisively hung up the phone.

Undoubtedly, Caden's words had provoked him.

At that moment, Arthur stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze dark, smoking quietly.

He and Molly had been together for five years. It was not a short time.

Back then, Molly was twenty, in the prime of her youth. She had done a lot to please him.

She was sensible, beautiful, and knew when to advance and retreat. Although she had many schemes, they didn't harm his interests.

Honestly, he quite liked this Molly.

So now, he didn't want to let her go.

He could bestow upon her status, grant her position, and provide her with all she desired, so long as she remained faithfully by his side.

He believed that someone as smart as Molly wouldn't refuse his proposal.

With that thought, he decisively stubbed out his cigarette and strode back into the room.

By then, Molly was already awake.

She was lounging against the headboard, looking soft and relaxed.

"Molly, get up and get dressed. We're going to get married."

Suddenly, her half-closed eyes opened wide.

She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear and said with a smile, "I don't want to."

She refused outright.

Arthur frowned, his gaze cold.
