No Wife, No Life Chapter 208

Neal had never felt this good before; he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Nearby, people were whispering, "With such a big incident, I wonder how Ms. Orsini is doing."

"Someone in our R&D department must have stolen the data and sold it to Luminary Innovations Inc."

"If that's the case, Ms. Orsini's position is probably in jeopardy. She'll definitely get fired."

"I think it won't just be Ms. Orsini. Everyone in our R&D department might get the boot."

"No way, Ms. Orsini is the CEO of FusionX Company. She won't be dismissed that easily."

"Have you forgotten about that video? Ms. Orsini was involved with another man. How could Mr. Elikin continue to support her?"

"Yeah, Mr. Elikin used to protect her, even left everything to her in his will. But no man would tolerate such betrayal. Ms. Orsini will definitely be kicked out of FusionX Company."

By the end, their voices were trembling, almost tearful, sounding pitiful.

Neal's lips curled into a cold smile.

Just then, unhurried footsteps echoed from the hallway, and the door to the R&D department was pushed open.

Everyone looked up and quickly fell silent.

A solemn hush fell over the room.

Harper walked in slowly, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the R&D department, not lingering on Neal for even a moment.

Neal stared at her intently; the moment he had been waiting for was finally here.

But why did Harper still have that faint smile on her face, showing no signs of panic?

Harper's voice was calm, "The board suspects that Luminary Innovations Inc. has stolen our trade secrets."

As soon as she finished speaking, the office area was immediately filled with a cacophony of murmurs, with expressions of anger, panic, and anxiety appearing on everyone's faces.

"Ms. Orsini, what does the management mean?"

Finally, someone asked in a trembling voice.

"I've already called the police. They'll be here shortly to investigate. I hope you all cooperate. Don't panic. If you're innocent, you have nothing to worry about."

"Do we have to be suspended?" Someone asked.

"Anyone with access to major secrets will be suspended."

"Ms. Orsini, are you suspended too?"

Neal immediately sat up straight, listening intently for her answer.

"I'm still in my position. The board has given me the authority to thoroughly investigate this matter. I will give you all an explanation. After this is over, you will get what you deserve. But those who deserve judgment, the court won't forget them either."

Harper's gaze swept over everyone, still not stopping on Neal.

Neal's face turned pale, his hands clenched tightly.

The company gave Harper the power to investigate? Why? With such a significant leak, Harper wasn't fired or suspended and still had control? How could this be?

And what was Felix doing? Didn't he send that video to Caden? How could Caden remain calm after seeing it?

Manuel hadn't turned against Harper and continued to support her?

Neal was seething with anger.

At that moment, the police from the economic crime division arrived at FusionX Company and quickly began their investigation.

Such a significant research breakthrough being stolen by a foreign company was a heavy blow to the national industry, and the higher-ups had to take it seriously.

Everyone had to stay at FusionX Company, waiting for the next steps of the investigation.

Neal's eyes were sharp, but inside, he felt contempt for Caden. For Harper, Caden had stooped so low. Had he lost his dignity as a man?

'Investigate all you want; they won't find anything on me,' Neal thought smugly.

His dealings with Lillian were all private, leaving no evidence. It was all Lillian's doing, nothing to do with him.

From start to finish, he was innocent.

Among the R&D team, he was the cleanest.

Neal put on a worried expression, even though no one noticed him, he continued to act.

Just then, his phone kept ringing. It was Quinn's number.

Neal started to panic. He was afraid of being found out about his connection with Quinn, so he didn't answer and turned off his phone.

He knew exactly why Quinn was calling.

Quinn had planted him in FusionX Company as a pawn. Quinn indeed had given him a lot, but compared to Luminary Innovations Inc., it was still less.

He was just an ordinary person, driven by profit, so betraying Quinn was only natural.

And Quinn was cautious; there was no evidence of their dealings.

Once this was over, he would go abroad and live a carefree life.

While FusionX Company was in turmoil, Emily entered the Lavien Group Building again.

The security guards recognized her and didn't stop her, letting her in.

Emily's face was pale as she headed straight to the top floor.

The secretaries saw her and sneered disdainfully.

What else could she do? Alex wouldn't indulge her anymore.

Quinn was on the phone by the hallway window, his face cold.

Seeing her, he looked impatient, "What are you doing here again?"

Quinn was already furious about Neal's betrayal, and seeing Emily only fueled his anger.

Lately, everything had been going wrong. He planted a spy in FusionX Company, but the spy was bribed by another company. He didn't get the information he wanted, and it went to Luminary Innovations Inc. instead.

Seeing Emily reminded him that she was the root of all the problems. If it weren't for Emily, Alex and Harper wouldn't have divorced, and the Lavien Group wouldn't have lost Harper, a key figure.

"I need to see Alex urgently."

Seeing his fierce gaze, Emily's eyes flickered.

Quinn sneered and said nothing more.

Emily hurried past him and went straight into Alex's office.

The news of FusionX Company's data theft quickly made headlines.

Seeing the news, Alex was in a foul mood. Harper must be feeling terrible right now, and he was thinking about how to comfort her.

Just then, Emily pushed open the office door.

"Alex, let me come back to the company, please?"

Her voice was soft, almost pleading.

In the past, seeing her pitiful look, he couldn't help but soften. But she had used this tactic too many times, and he had run out of patience.

Alex's face darkened, ready to refuse.

Emily quickly spoke, "Don't rush to refuse. I'll trade Harper's diary with you."

Mentioning Harper made Alex pause. For some reason, he was desperate to understand Harper, to know everything about her.

Emily asked, "This is something Harper left at home. Don't you want to see it?"
