No Wife, No Life Chapter 155
Harper chuckled softly.
Others might not get Quinn, but she sure did.
"Quinn's loyal to Alex and his own interests. When I divorced Alex but stayed with the Lavien Group, he didn't come after me. But now that I've quit, he sees me as competition."
Harper thought it over, having already figured it all out.
"He desires for me to confront reality and is attempting to steer me back to the Lavien Group."
Caden nodded slightly, looking at Harper with newfound respect.
As expected, Harper was incredibly sharp.
"He's smart, but he hasn't figured out Jeremy. Jeremy's got big ambitions; he wants more than just the Lavien Group. Quinn's scheming against me is obvious to both me and Jeremy. Jeremy knows I'll see through it. So, he's waiting for me to strike back at Quinn, and when things get messy, he'll make his move."
Harper's eyes sparkled with pride and intelligence. "He wants me to go after Quinn, but I'm not falling for it."
She winked at Caden. "Rather than exacerbating the situation, it would be wiser to use some more thrilling news to overshadow the current rumors. The public will forget the old news in no time."
What kind of exciting news? Caden wasn't sure what she had in mind.
Harper's fingers flew over the keyboard, typing out a long message. She then released a video titled "The Future is Here, No Answers."
Jeremy's biggest worry wasn't the Elikin Group or the Lavien Group; it was AI and full automation.
She intended to make Jeremy feel defeated, to taste the bitterness of a setback.
Caden leaned in to watch the video Harper posted online.
The video featured a home robot, resembling an adult woman, with the height and appearance of a real person.
It could talk like a human, shop for groceries, visit the supermarket, and even serve as a family doctor, providing basic medical care.
Unlike ordinary robots, this fully intelligent robot could read human tone and expressions, gradually improving its system to interact like a real person.
This was a complete game-changer!
If this progression persisted, fully intelligent robots wouldn't be cold machines; they would have their own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, potentially replacing humans entirely.
Harper's title, "The Future is Here, No Answers," was spot on.
The comments section exploded with comments.
[Oh my God, is that a humanoid robot? It can actually talk to people?]
[Fully intelligent robot? Did Harper really create this? Amazing! Is this real?]
[This is groundbreaking! I've heard that other countries have been researching fully intelligent robots with no progress. Has Harper really achieved this? If it's true, she's pioneering the future of intelligent robots.]
As Harper predicted, this news quickly overshadowed her previous negative publicity. Almost no one paid attention to the entertainment gossip anymore. The video Harper posted caused a sensation, even internationally.
Harper's Instagram comments section became increasingly lively, with notable figures and potential collaborators chiming in.
[Ms. Orsini, do you already have partners? How about considering Jinko?]
[As expected from my dear Harper, always delivering crucial information. It's Henry, your old friend. We had such a great collaboration before. I'm already on a plane. Promise me a chance to work together again?]
These were CEOs of major domestic and international companies.
They were genuinely seeking collaboration opportunities!
Meanwhile, the plummeting stock price of the Elikin Group rebounded and even surged.
By now, no one remembered the personal drama between Harper and Alex. Everyone was focused on the revolutionary impact of intelligent robots.
Harper had won decisively.
Jeremy's plan to manipulate her into retaliating had backfired. She had seen through his schemes from the start.
Of course, Jeremy saw all of this. "Harper! You're just like your mother, always causing trouble."
Harper's mother caused him unrest even in death, and Harper made his life difficult while alive.
Fine! Harper played her cards well!
Jeremy's face darkened, and he slammed his fist on the table.
Jeremy thought, 'Harper, if you insist on this path, don't blame me for being ruthless. From now on, everything you want and cherish, I will destroy.'
'You want to play? You like Caden? You care about Dennis? Then I'll start with Caden and Dennis.''I will make you, like your mother, forever lose what you love!'
Jeremy's eyes turned cold as he glanced at his assistant, who shivered involuntarily.
"Isn't Alex planning to incapacitate Caden? One is too few; include Dennis as well. Make it so he cannot take the SAT. I want these two to rest eternally in Devil's Racecourse."
Devil's Racecourse was a famous track in Majestic City, known for its treacherous curves and danger, making it a top choice for major races.
It was called Devil's Racecourse because it had claimed the lives of many racers.
Since Harper had given Caden the most crash-resistant car, Jeremy wanted to see just how tough it really was.
The assistant understood his meaning, paused, and nodded. "Understood. I'll arrange it."
After the assistant left, Jeremy reviewed the documents his team had compiled, growing paler with each page.
Jeremy thought, 'A cadre of inept imbeciles, laboring for so long without yielding a single breakthrough.'
Alvina's manuscripts had been handed over, yet there were no results!
Jeremy greedily replayed Harper's video.
He reached out to touch the robot's face, as if hearing it mock him.
"Hello, Mr. Lavien. After all these years, what have you accomplished? I was designed by Harper. Pretty cool, huh?"
His face darkened, and he abruptly turned off his phone.
Harper's research would be his, sooner or later.
His eyes cold as he thought, 'if this fails again, I'll have to bring Mark Lavien back.'
Mark was Jeremy's adopted son, taken in by Kaitlyn and later adopted by Jeremy.
Of course, Jeremy had his reasons. Kaitlyn was a woman, and Mark could be her right-hand man.
If this plan failed, he'd have to bring Mark back to handle things personally.
