No Wife, No Life Chapter 194

At this moment, Emily's tone was still somewhat arrogant.

Travis slowly lifted his head, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and looked indifferently at the haughty Emily standing before him. "Do you know that feelings can wear out?"

Emily hated hearing such words.

"This is between Alex and me. It's none of your business." Emily jumped up as if stung by something, her face contorting with rage.

Travis frowned but said nothing more, lowering his head to continue reviewing the remaining documents.

His power had been completely stripped away. He was practically sidelined.

Just as Emily said, he was no longer important to the Lavien Group.

In truth, Alex had never fully trusted him; Alex only trusted Quinn.

Everything was just as Harper had said, the Lavien Group had changed, Alex had changed, and this place was no longer suitable for him. How much longer could he stay? Every extra day was torture.

Seeing Travis remain silent, Emily's face showed a smug, cold smile, but before it could fully spread, she noticed Quinn approaching.

Quinn's expression was cold. "Some things Ms. Orsini needs to know. No matter what, Travis has always been of greater significance to the company than you."

"Actually, Ms. Orsini has to admit this, right? After all, you came to see Mr. Lavien because of that online scandal."

Quinn lazily lifted his eyelids, his tone indifferent.

"I was betting with Mr. Lavien last night that you'd definitely show up today. Looks like I was right."

Emily's words got stuck in her throat.

Seeing Quinn made her feel like a mouse encountering a cat, panicked and flustered.

She couldn't help but take a few steps back.

She could mock Travis, but she dared not do the same with Quinn.

Quinn walked over, looking down at her from above.

Undoubtedly, she was pretty, yet her beauty was rather conventional, lacking any remarkable allure.

Being this close, it was even more evident that Emily was utterly unworthy of comparison to Harper."Someone like you actually managed to win over Harper." A mocking laugh escaped Quinn's throat.

"Tell me, in what way can you compare to her?"

Emily was indeed unworthy, but Alex had chosen her anyway.

Emily clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. "Why don't you ask Alex instead of me? The feelings between Alex and me are something you can't understand."Quinn's smile was cold. "Using gratitude to demand repayment counts as feelings?"

Emily had been pressuring Alex, using his gratitude against him.

Emily's face turned pale.

"Emily, you're really something. Even Luminary Innovations Inc.'s schemes couldn't break our trio, but you easily made Harper leave the Lavien Group, causing the stock price to plummet. You deserve credit for that."

"People often say beauty brings disaster, but with your looks, how could you be considered as a beauty?"

Quinn lowered his voice, pausing to look Emily up and down with obvious disdain and criticism in his eyes.

"I surmise it won't be long before Mr. Lavien tires of you. He will discern your true nature and sever all ties with you."

"You don't understand. Alex would never treat me like that. He loves me; he really loves me!"

Emily couldn't accept Quinn's words, clenching her fists and retorting angrily.

"Loves you?" Quinn looked like he had heard the most ridiculous thing ever, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"If he loves you so much, why is he always drunk? If he loves you, why does he keep looking at Harper's blog posts? If he loves you, why does he want to know Harper's preferences? If he loves you, why does he constantly monitor Harper's movements?"

"Emily, wake up. Even now, you still think he loves you?"

Quinn adjusted his glasses, his voice still tinged with amusement.

"Emily, he loves Harper, not you."

Emily stood frozen.

She stood there, stunned, for a long time without reacting.

Quinn's tone remained indifferent. "Weren't you here to see your Alex? He's in the CEO's office. You can go right in. If he loves you, you can ask him who he really loves."

Quinn despised Emily. He wanted her to see what Alex was doing and how he would treat her. He wanted Emily to understand who Alex truly loved.

Emily staggered into the CEO's office.

Watching her leave, Quinn lit a cigarette and took a drag, then lazily sat down next to Travis.

"Do you hate me?" Quinn didn't look at him, the smoke curling around him, his gaze growing colder.

Both he and Travis were smart men, and Travis naturally understood his meaning.

Quinn actually asked, 'Do you hate me for driving a wedge between you and Alex?'

Travis's tone was calm. "There's nothing to hate. You're just completely loyal to Mr. Lavien."

Quinn flicked the ash from his cigarette, chuckling lightly. "Seems you understand. You know I'm completely loyal to Alex. So what about you? Who are you loyal to?"

Travis looked at him calmly.

"Travis, you know, ever since Harper left the company, you've been completely lost. So who are you loyal to?"

"You didn't give me a choice." Travis looked at Quinn, his expression cold, no longer maintaining a gentle smile.

Quinn asked, "If you had a choice, would you choose the Lavien Group over Harper? Could you do it?"

Travis remained silent.

Quinn's expression turned colder; he had his answer. "It's not that we didn't give you a choice. You originally had a chance, but you didn't take it."

Travis and Harper had a good relationship, even...

Indeed, Quinn could perceive an intense emotion in his eyes when he gazed at Harper; he harbored deeper feelings for her.

Even if he could hide it from Alex, he couldn't hide it from Quinn.

He admired Harper so much; how could he possibly harm her?

His softness towards Harper was a betrayal of the Lavien Group.

Seeing Quinn's cold gaze, Travis's voice carried a hint of anger.

"We're friends. She just found someone she loves. She left the Lavien Group because she was betrayed by Mr. Lavien first. So what more do you want? Why do you have to target her?"

Quinn's smile grew colder.

"Travis, do you really not understand? She was with the Lavien Group for years and knows too many secrets. Her leaving is already a betrayal."

Travis laughed. "So, my leaving would be a betrayal too, right?"

"What do you want me to say?" Quinn didn't answer, instead asking a question in return.

Travis spoke with a self-deprecating tone. "I get it. The way you treat Harper is how you'll treat me, right?"

Quinn's gaze fell on him, scrutinizing him. After a moment, he let out a meaningful chuckle and walked away.
