No Wife, No Life Chapter 172

Elsie had no clue about any of this. Right now, she had brought in the best doctor from overseas to treat Caden.

But Caden didn't seem to care; his attitude was cold and distant.

Elsie was getting frustrated.

"If you keep acting like this, do you really want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair?"

She couldn't stand seeing him so defeated.

"Look at this; Harper is still waiting for you to come home. Do you really want to be useless forever?"

She opened Facebook and showed it to him.

Sure enough, Caden reacted.

He took the phone from Elsie and saw the heartfelt messages. His heart felt even heavier.

He looked down at his useless legs. How could he face Harper like this? How could he be worthy?

Just like people online said, if he truly loved her, he should stay hidden and wish her happiness from afar, not reappear and ruin her life.

"Didn't you say you would hide me away?" His voice was hoarse. "If I can't see her, then it doesn't matter if I'm a cripple."

Elsie was on the verge of tears from anger. How could he be so useless?

Just as she was about to scold him, some people suddenly barged into the villa.

Elsie, already furious, shouted, "What the hell is this? Get out of here!"

But no one paid her any attention. When they saw Caden, they rushed forward and took him away.

Elsie was livid and quickly followed them outside.

In the hall, Walter and Edward were there.

When Walter saw Caden, his sharp eyes scrutinized him.

Caden was indeed very handsome, with an innate noble demeanor.

But in the end, his legs were broken, and he was a cripple.

What use was someone like him at the Miller Manor?

"Grandpa, Uncle Edward!" Elsie hadn't expected them to come, so she toned down her arrogance a bit.

"Put Caden back. You can have any boyfriend you want; why choose this one?" Edward spoke coldly.

To be honest, he truly cared for his niece.

"He has already left all the family shares to Harper. What's the point of keeping him around? He won't give you anything!"

Because Edward had spoiled her since she was little, Elsie didn't take it seriously and argued, "I'm the Miller family's daughter. I have everything I want. I don't care about his money! I just want him! I'm not letting him go."

Edward almost choked with anger. "Do you know who sent Walter an email? Because you took Caden away, Alvina sent a warning email to Walter."

"He's Alvina's son-in-law. If you mess with him, you're going against Alvina. Do you want the entire Miller family to go down with you?"

Hearing Alvina's name, Caden's heart skipped a beat. Unconsciously, he gripped the wheelchair's armrests tightly.

Alvina, she was like a nightmare!

She was deeply scheming, and no one ever knew how much evidence she held. She could ruin someone's reputation at any time, send them to prison for life, or collapse an entire business empire overnight.

Once she targeted someone, she would watch them rot and then tear them apart like a vulture.

Elsie was momentarily confused.

Alvina? Wasn't she dead?

But soon, her spoiled temper flared up.

"So what if it's her? The Miller family is powerful in this country. Why should we fear Alvina?"

"Uncle Edward, isn't Alvina dead? How can a dead person threaten you?"

She couldn't believe it. She had finally gotten Caden, and now she had to give him back, just because of a dead person's threat?

Elsie asked, "Besides, who is Alvina anyway? Why are you so afraid of her?"

Walter said, "Take a look at these, and you'll understand who Alvina is."

The officer beside Walter threw a stack of documents into Elsie's arms.

There were many documents, and the first part was all about Alvina's various honors.

Annoyed, she flipped to the back and finally saw the earth-shattering things Alvina had done.

Someone once attempted to frame her, underestimating her as merely a woman, with the intention of seizing control of the Taylor Group. She exposed the opponent's company's embezzlement evidence, sending them straight to prison.

After that, real estate developers were found to have substandard buildings, food companies had inedible additives, and car company CEOs had sex scandals. In short, all the companies that tried to take down the Taylor Group either went bankrupt or were forcibly acquired, all falling into ruin.

Since then, no one dared to mess with Alvina!

Who could guarantee they were completely clean? As long as you had a flaw, Alvina would magnify it and expose it to the public.

She always avenged her grudges!

Anyone who dared to go against Alvina faced only one path: destruction.

Seeing this, Elsie was dumbfounded. "Is she crazy?"

"She actually did no wrong." Walter spoke gravely, "Those people are all collateral branches of the Taylor family. Seeing that she is a woman, they wanted to seize the Taylor Group's assets. Alvina did this to show everyone that she is not to be trifled with and that no one can covet the Taylor Group."

As a woman, if she didn't want to be bullied, she had to be tough.

They were ruthless, so she had to be even more ruthless. They were vicious, so she had to be even more vicious.

After reaching this point, they all called Alvina a madwoman. And indeed, no one dared to covet the Taylor Group again.

"Alvina is a madwoman, and Harper is her daughter. Do you think Harper can be any different?" Walter's gaze grew colder.

"If Alvina were dead, you might have a chance with Caden. But with Alvina alive, do you want the entire family to go against this mother-daughter duo?"

"Elsie, do you think you're up to it?"

Walter's words were harsh, but Elsie had been spoiled and didn't understand the harsh realities of life.

Elsie felt a tightness in her chest. "But, but the Miller family is clean and upright."

"Really?" Walter's voice was icy. "If the Miller family were truly clean, why is Caden here at the Miller Manor? He should be in his own villa, with Harper."

Elsie had no response.

Walter continued, "No one is completely clean. You only see the surface."

"If Declan were still here, maybe Alvina would spare the Miller family for his sake. But he's not, and you're bullying her daughter and son-in-law. She will destroy you and the Miller family."

Alvina rarely made a move, but when she did, it was total destruction.

Walter tried to persuade her, "Elsie, she sent this email out of respect for Declan."

"If you don't let Caden go, be prepared to go to prison. At that point, neither the Miller family nor the Robinson family can help you."

"Even if she doesn't destroy the Miller family, she will definitely destroy you."
