No Wife, No Life Chapter 206

Mason reached the last page and saw that Caden had lost both his legs in the car accident.

He blinked, pondering if this might be his chance.

After all, Caden was now disabled.

But Caden had left everything to Harper in his will, which could explain why Harper refused to leave him.

They must really be in love.

But what if, one day, Harper grew tired of Caden?

A glimmer of hope sparked in Mason's heart again. "Dad, I really like her."

Kyle was at his wit's end. "If you like her, then go after her. They aren't married yet, are they?"

Mason stayed silent, lying on his bed without saying a word.

It wasn't that he was unwilling, but rather that he found his actions contemptible. However, his affection for Harper was so intense that he couldn't restrain his emotions. What was he to do? In the past few days, Manuel had indeed developed new results according to Harper's requirements.

In the office, Harper and Felix discussed inviting the board and all the top executives to attend.

"Looks like you have a major breakthrough?" Felix guessed.

"Yeah," Harper replied, looking tired.

"Alright, I'll have someone send out the notices right away. How about tomorrow morning at 10:30?" Felix immediately took out his phone to text his assistant. 

He was also curious about what new breakthrough Harper and Manuel had achieved.

"That works. Let's do that," Harper instructed, and Felix left her office.

The next day, the meeting started on time.

A grand blueprint was projected on the big screen, showcasing new intelligent machines and bionic organ regeneration, all listed one by one.

With continuous technological updates and iterations, FusionX Company was poised to dominate the global market.

The presentation wasn't even over, and the conference room had already erupted in applause several times.

The advent of bionic organs would crush the domestic and international organ transplant market, propelling FusionX Company to the forefront of this field.

If this happened, FusionX Company would undoubtedly become the leader in this industry.

Meanwhile, in the R&D department's office area, many employees seemed distracted.

Neal was hunched over his computer, his hair disheveled.

He had worked late into the night and was feeling exhausted.

A thick stack of documents landed on his desk with a thud, startling him and making his face pale.

"Neal, organize these documents today. Ms. Orsini needs them approved by tomorrow," a middle-aged woman ordered coldly.

Neal looked at the stack, estimating it to be at least ten inches thick. How could he possibly organize it all today?

Ever since the incident of reporting over his superior's head, Neal had become ensnared in the plight of workplace bullying.

This task was originally assigned to the middle-aged woman by the team leader and had nothing to do with him.

But what could he say? He was just a newbie.

Seeing him remain silent for a while, the middle-aged woman snapped, "What are you standing there for? Get to work!"

She glared at him before turning and walking away.

Ever since he had angered Harper, many people in the company had been ostracizing him.

For a long time, he had been working late into the night, with no more than four hours of sleep each day.

Neal's mental and physical state was on the verge of collapse, but he endured it.

He picked up the top document and flipped through a few pages.

Then, when no one paid him any attention, Neal discreetly cast the documents aside and retrieved his phone to send a message: [It's time.]

Moments later, an overseas pharmaceutical company suddenly announced the latest news on bionic organ transplants, claiming their technology was more advanced and cost-effective than FusionX Company's.

The announcement caused a huge uproar.

Neal logged into social media, saw the news, and slowly put down his phone, leaning back in his chair and stretching.

He was truly exhausted, but he had to admit it was exhilarating.

Harper was the opponent he most wanted to destroy at this moment.

No matter how formidable Harper was, he had still managed to get his hands on the documents.

Neal ran a hand through his messy hair and smirked.

Meanwhile, the conference room door was suddenly flung open.

Felix's assistant glanced at Harper before saying, "Ms. Orsini, Mr. Rodriguez, there's a problem. An overseas company has just announced that their bionic organs are identical to ours. In fact, their technology seems even better than ours."

"What?"

"That's impossible!"

"Why now of all times?"

"That overseas company only formed a research team last month. Their research and development capabilities can't even begin to compare with ours."

"Not to mention their funding issues. How could they afford R&D?"

The conference room descended into chaos, with some people shocked, others panicked, and some furious.

Harper and Manuel exchanged a knowing look.

The overseas company in question was a subsidiary of Luminary Innovations Inc.

At this moment, Brock stood up, signaling for silence, and looked at Harper coldly. "Have you considered that Luminary Innovations Inc. might have stolen these new technologies from FusionX Company? It's possible that there is a corporate spy in our company."

Before anyone could refute it, he continued, "Their technology is identical to ours, with the same parameters, and they released it just before us. There are no such coincidences. I suggest we investigate this thoroughly."

He glanced at Harper. "The direct person in charge of this project is Harper. I believe she has a significant connection to this issue."

It was clear he was targeting Harper.

Felix suppressed his anger and calmly said, "Until we get to the bottom of this, no one is  allowed to make any statements that could harm the company."

He was on Harper's side and needed to ensure everyone kept quiet. If word got out, Harper's career would be over.

Some people immediately supported Brock's suggestion, clamoring for Harper to step down as CEO and for Felix to take over temporarily.

Harper's expression remained indifferent as if she were watching a play.

Seeing her calm demeanor, Felix also steadied his emotions.

Felix announced, "All R&D department employees are temporarily suspended until we find out the truth."

He needed to control all suspects, including Harper.

But his attitude didn't target Harper; he clearly believed she wouldn't do such a thing.

Brock was furious, "This is a major issue. I believe Harper is the prime suspect. Such important documents could only be accessed by Manuel and Harper. So who else could it be? If we're investigating the R&D department, Harper must not be involved."

His intentions were clear: he wanted to seize this opportunity to take power. He wanted Harper to relinquish her authority completely.

He turned to the board members, "All in favor of Harper remaining in her position, raise your hands!"
