No Wife, No Life Chapter 210

Alex felt a pang of sorrow in his heart.

His gaze fell on the photograph. They were standing together, but he was looking off into the distance, his eyes devoid of warmth, not even sparing her a glance.

Harper, on the other hand, was looking at him with a smile that reached her eyes.

Her emerald green eyes were unmistakably brimming with affection as she gazed upon him.

She only dared to write "Happy Wedding" in her diary, but was marriage to her a source of dread or joy?

She didn't even dare to show her affection in front of him, afraid of his suspicion and misunderstanding.

Alex's heart twisted even more.

Harper's love for him was overflowing, yet he had never once directed his gaze towards her.

She had loved him from the very beginning.

Tears welled up in his eyes, almost uncontrollably.

He regretted it deeply.

If only he had expressed himself differently when they got married. Harper wanted love, and he should have given her love.

Now, he painfully recalled the saying, 'Why do people only realize what they had was precious after losing it?'

He regretted it so much!

He knew he had to do everything he could to win back Harper's heart.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

Alex composed himself and calmly told the person to come in.

His assistant stood at the door, cautiously asking, "Mr. Lavien, the forensic accounting team seems to have found some leads. The executives have all gone over. Would you like to take a look?"

Due to the incident at FusionX Company, the Lavien Group had also conducted an internal investigation, and now they seemed to have found some clues.

"I'll be right down." Alex immediately stood up, straightened the creases in his suit, and with red-rimmed eyes, hurried out.

He looked disheveled and distressed.

The assistant was a bit worried. "Mr. Lavien, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Alex rushed out without further explanation.

When he met with the police and heard the results of the investigation, his expression turned even grimmer.

Travis! It was Travis? How could he have stolen the company's internal data?

Alex couldn't believe it.

Meanwhile, Marvin led the senior executives of FusionX Company into Harper's office.

Many employees were peeking in from the outer office area, worriedly watching the scene unfold.

Neal, hidden in the back of the crowd, had a look of anxiety on his face, but his eyes betrayed a hint of conceit.

Stephen stood expressionless behind Harper, just watching without taking any action.

A forensic accountant was typing rapidly on Harper's computer.

Another team leader stood behind him, explaining the situation.

"There are indeed traces of a hacker intrusion on this computer. It seems an email containing a Trojan was accidentally opened. We can't pinpoint which email it was now. This was done by a top-level hacker, far more skilled than our technicians."

The team leader sighed and shook his head.

All the executives looked at Harper with accusatory eyes.

Marvin shouted angrily, "Don't you know your computer contains a lot of business secrets? You can't open any suspicious emails. How could you not understand such a simple principle? Harper, the company has suffered such a huge loss, and you must take full responsibility."

"Part of the reason also lies in Mr. Elikin's lack of discernment."

Several senior board members shook their heads and sighed.

Manuel, expressionless, silently stepped in front of Harper, shielding her from the accusatory stares.

Harper said, "My computer has a security program installed. It only receives internal emails; external emails are blocked."

Harper then added, "Now the suspect list is narrowed down to our department. We can compile a list of senders from the email logs, right?"

The team leader continued, "Yes, the suspect is on that list. We will investigate each one, and we should have results soon. Ms. Orsini, it seems your security awareness is not lacking, but the corporate spy was very cunning."

Harper shook her head slightly, saying nothing.

Marvin hadn't expected Harper to be so prepared, and his angry expression stiffened.

After a moment, he ordered, "Since the crime has been confirmed, Harper, why are you still standing there? Issue a public statement condemning Luminary Innovations Inc., and let the world know they're thieves trying to destroy our national industry."

Harper smiled faintly and looked at the head of the PR department, instructing, "Release a message saying FusionX Company will hold a new product launch in a week at Devil's Racecourse, and we will livestream the event."

Devil's Racecourse was known for its treacherous roads and steep slopes, often used for professional racing. Harper selected this venue because it was where Caden had his car accident, and since then, no events had been hosted there.

This decision immediately caused an uproar.

"Harper, are you crazy? Foreign companies have already launched their new products, and you want to go head-to-head with them now? You're wasting the company's marketing budget! We've already lost billions! How can you be so reckless?"

"Harper, have you lost your mind? How can you make such a foolish decision?"

"No one would go head-to-head with a foreign company at a time like this!"

"Exactly, what are you competing with them for? The priority now is to condemn the foreign company and restore our company's reputation!"

The office was filled with voices condemning Harper.

They thought Harper's decision was absurd and laughable. No company leader would go against the grain like this.

Even the forensic accountants regarded Harper with a mix of bewilderment and amazement. Not only was she not disclosing the theft of trade secrets, but she was also planning a new product launch. What was she thinking?

Harper remained calm, with a slight smile on her face.

At that moment, Stephen spoke steadily, "Without evidence, issuing a condemnation statement could lead to a lawsuit against us! That would only put FusionX Company in a bigger crisis."

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Indeed, they were only speculating now. There was no proof that Luminary Innovations Inc. had stolen FusionX Company's research.

Marvin was stunned for a moment, then silently lowered his head.

If they stirred up public opinion without solid evidence, and Luminary Innovations Inc. then counter-sued, they would surely win.

A respected senior shareholder spoke slowly, "Mr. Rodriguez, even if we don't issue a condemnation statement, we can't hold a new product launch. Isn't that a waste of company money? How does that make any sense?"

Felix had been standing quietly on the side, but it was clear to everyone that he was supporting Harper.

The shareholders looked to him, hoping he would say something fair.

Felix glanced at Harper, then calmly said, "Well, that's not my call."
