No Wife, No Life Chapter 153

Seeing her like this, Caden panicked and quickly said, "I was just kidding."

Marvin grew even angrier. He couldn't stand seeing Caden like this. How could someone who was usually so sarcastic and rude suddenly become so obedient in front of Harper?

Did she really deserve that?

Marvin said, "Get her out of here, now."

Caden stepped in front of Harper, frowning slightly.

"I'm the head of the Elikin family now. You didn't hand me this position; I fought for it myself. So why would you think I'd listen to you?"

Caden's tone was filled with threat and warning as he looked at Marvin.

Marvin felt a bit uneasy under his gaze.

He almost forgot that Caden had seized the position of CEO of the Elikin Group by himself.

"Caden, you need to understand, if you really choose to abandon Ms. Miller, there's no turning back."

"The Orsini family, where Harper comes from, won't bring you any benefits."

Marvin tried to calm his anger and spoke as rationally as he could.

"But Ms. Miller is different. If you marry her, you'll get the support of the Miller family. I'm doing this for your own good. Can't you see that?"

Caden sneered, "If I really wanted to take shortcuts, I would have been the CEO of the Elikin Group years ago. Why wait until now?"

Every word he said was a jab at Marvin.

His position was earned through his own hard work, and it had nothing to do with Marvin.

Caden added, "So, you should know my choice by now. Harper is the only one who will stay by my side."

With that, he bent down and placed a gentle kiss on Harper's forehead.

Marvin was almost consumed by rage, clutching his chest, unable to watch any longer. "Get out; you bastard, take your people and get out!"

This time, Caden couldn't be bothered to respond. He simply pushed Harper's wheelchair and walked out.

"And turn on the air conditioning," Marvin shouted, unwilling to give up.

"I'm already far gone," Caden replied with a casual wave of his hand.

Marvin was absolutely furious. Many people had accused him of favoring Brock, but could they really blame him? Caden, that rogue, was completely incorrigible—how could he ever merit his affection?

Meanwhile, Brock, who had been hiding in the hallway, had heard everything.

He was older than Caden, and originally, the head of the Elikin family should have been him, yet Caden had taken it away. All because his mother was Marvin's mistress, not his wife.

Thinking about this filled him with bitterness.

He slowly approached and looked at Marvin intently. "Dad, you have to help me; help me take back the Elikin Group."

Ever since Caden forcibly took over the company, he had been hiding in the Elikin Manor, not wanting to see his old friends.

Yet now, Caden had astonishingly forsaken Elsie and relinquished such a promising alliance, thereby undermining the interests of the Elikin Group and effectively presenting him with a golden opportunity.

Marvin looked at Brock and sighed deeply. "Brock, Caden is cunning and shrewd. Taking back what he has would be hard."

It wasn't that Marvin underestimated Brock, but if he couldn't hold onto it, how could Brock take it back?

Brock said, "It doesn't matter. I think Mr. Stewart will help me."

Suddenly, Marvin's cloudy eyes lit up. "Which Mr. Stewart? Quinn from the Lavien Group?"

"Yeah. He came to see me and said he would help me." At this moment, Brock's face was flushed, his eyes shining, and he exuded confidence.

With Quinn from the Lavien Group's help, everything would be within reach.

Moreover, didn't Quinn choose him precisely because he exhibited greater potential than Caden?

Marvin steadied himself and said calmly, "Then discuss it thoroughly with Mr. Stewart. Whatever he says, we do. As long as we can take back the Elikin Group, anything goes."

Brock was right. Quinn had indeed come to see him just the day before.

He remembered the meeting clearly. "Mr. Elikin, work with us, and we'll help you reclaim your position as the heir of the Elikin family." At that time, Quinn had extended his hand, his voice persuasive.

But Brock knew about the relationship between Quinn and Harper. They were part of the Lavien Group's power trio. So, Quinn coming to see him could be a trap.

"I heard Ms. Orsini and Mr. Stewart have worked together for five years. Could your bond really be that weak?"

Quinn had smiled, adjusting his glasses, and spoke slowly, "Mr. Elikin, people like Mr. Lavien and me always prioritize interests. You should understand that."

"Moreover, Mr. Elikin should already know that Harper and our Mr. Lavien are divorced. Harper was with Caden even before the marriage, so our Mr. Lavien will definitely seek revenge. Even if Mr. Elikin doesn't take action, we won't let him go."

Quinn, known for his ruthlessness, spoke with a chilling tone. "The Lavien Group will definitely target Caden. How confident are you that he can win?"

Quinn paused, his tone indifferent, "Of course, the Lavien Group could also acquire the Elikin Group, making it our subsidiary. But then, Mr. Elikin, you would get nothing."

Brock thought for a moment and finally nodded, "I agree to work with you."

Quinn smiled warmly, "Good, a smart choice."

He took out a small box and handed it to Brock, "This is the latest bugging device. Just place it in his car."

Without much thought, Brock took the box and put it away.

"Well then, see you then."

With that, Quinn turned and left.

Quinn had his own plans.

No matter what, Quinn was on Alex's side.

To bring down the Elikin Group, they had to take down Caden.

And who was Caden's weakness?

It was Harper.

And what was Harper's weakness?

In the past, it would have been Dennis. But now that Dennis had been rescued from the Wilson family, Harper's only weakness was her past marriage with Alex.

A divorced woman was always seen as flawed.

Attacking Harper was the same as attacking Caden.

Now, with Harper serving as the general manager of the Elikin Group, any harm to her would inevitably damage the group, resulting in a sharp decline in its stock value and providing the opportunity for the Lavien Group to ascend past it. This was the opportune moment Quinn had been eagerly anticipating.

In his car, Quinn's lips curled into a faint, cold smile.

A small Statue of Liberty charm, a gift from Harper, hung in the car. He had kept it there all this time.

He gently tapped the face of the Statue of Liberty with his long finger.

"Harper, wouldn't it be better to stay with the Lavien Group? We would always be an unstoppable trio; no one dare to challenge us."

His eyes darkened. "Why did you have to betray Alex? By betraying Alex, you forced us to target you."

"Only by making you suffer outside will you choose to return to the Lavien Group."

Between Alex and Harper, he would always choose Alex. After all, he was raised by the Lavien family and considered Alex a brother.

Now, employing these tactics, he sought to coerce Harper into returning to the Lavien Group.

"Alex and I are waiting for the day you return."
