No Wife, No Life Chapter 211
The executives were stunned. Felix was definitely backing Harper.
Felix glanced at the head of PR and said calmly, "Send the message. Do what Ms. Orsini said."
Felix, being the son of a major shareholder, was used to getting his way and had plenty of supporters in the company.
The head of PR shivered and quickly sent a message to his team, instructing them to draft a statement ASAP.
"This is nuts, absolutely nuts. I never thought Felix would follow Harper into this mess." Marvin was shaking with anger.
In fact, Felix felt pretty helpless too.
Despite being on edge and nervous, he chose to place his complete trust in Harper.
"I've said it before, if Harper can't handle this, I'll give up all my shares."
Felix looked around the room, showing his determination once again.
He stood in front of Harper, not backing down, protecting her alongside Manuel.
Marvin's face turned pale with rage. "Mr. Rodriguez, talk is cheap. How about we sign an agreement?"
"Sure." Felix didn't hesitate.
"Great, let's discuss this in the office." Marvin opened the door.
Felix nodded slightly at Harper. "Be careful."
Then, he strode towards the door.
Marvin and his group left as aggressively as they had come.
At that moment, the police from the economic crime unit started dismantling all the computers, preparing to take them for further investigation.
A list was compiled, with dozens of names from the R&D department, including Lillian's, but Neal's name was absent. He was completely cleared of suspicion.
Lillian had no idea that the emails she sent contained a Trojan virus. That was all Neal's doing.
The officers gradually left, taking the people on the list to the police station for questioning, including Harper.
As Harper was escorted out of the office by two officers, Neal lowered his head and smiled slightly.
This time, Harper was really done for.
He couldn't understand why the PR department would send out such a message. Was FusionX Company not afraid of wasting their marketing budget?
Neal was puzzled, frowning deeply.
When Harper arrived at the police station, she asked the officer beside her, "Can I make a call to my lawyer?"
The officer nodded. "You can. But I have to remind you that having a lawyer won't help. Because when we interrogate you, no lawyer will be permitted to accompany you, much less speak on your behalf."
Harper smiled faintly. "No, I just need my lawyer to check on something."
The officer thought for a moment and agreed.
Harper took her phone back from the officer and made a call.
Neal had set her up, and she would undoubtedly exact her vengeance upon him.
She was poised to deliver a devastating blow to him, and she wondered if Neal could handle it.
News of Harper being taken away by the police spread quickly.
When Harper arrived at the police station, she saw Quinn in the lobby.
Seeing Harper, Quinn walked over to her, wanting to exchange a few words. After all, he also had suffered significant losses this time.
He thought Harper hadn't figured out that Neal was his man, given that Neal had betrayed him and chosen Luminary Innovations Inc., making him look like a victim too.
He wanted to ask Harper what her next steps were, but Harper looked up at him with a smile and said coldly, "Mr. Stewart, does it hurt to be betrayed by your own subordinate?"
Quinn's eyes widened suddenly. Did she know about Neal?
He was momentarily flustered but quickly regained his composure.
"If you're talking about Travis, then I do feel sad."
Harper's eyes were cold as she stared at him. "This has nothing to do with Travis. We're all smart people here; there's no need to keep pretending."
“You know very well what I indicated.”
"You should be glad the Lavien Group didn't get that information. Otherwise, I guarantee the Lavien Group would regret it."
Quinn's face remained expressionless, but his mind was in turmoil.
He understood what Harper meant. They had worked together for five years, and he knew her well.
Harper had known all along that Neal was his man. Or maybe she had set a trap from the beginning. Quinn guessed the information was deliberately leaked.
Thinking about it, Quinn was actually relieved that Neal had sold the information to Luminary Innovations Inc. at a high price.
They stared at each other, and Harper could see his true thoughts. "You're relieved that your subordinate harmed others."
Quinn should be relieved that Neal betrayed him. Otherwise, Harper would have fully retaliated against the Lavien Group.
Quinn sneered and then spoke slowly, "You know, after the incident at FusionX Company, we also conducted an internal investigation at the Lavien Group. It turns out we had a spy too."
"Harper, when I mentioned Travis, you didn't care at all? He left the Lavien Group for you."
Harper was momentarily stunned.
Harper immediately understood his meaning.
Travis was in trouble. He was warning her.
"What did you do to Travis?"
Harper's voice was icy. "You know very well that Travis would never betray the Lavien Group. You already kicked him out of the top ranks; You ought to have shown him mercy."
Harper was genuinely angry.
Quinn sneered coldly, his eyes indifferent.
"You know he left because of you, Harper. You're the real culprit, aren't you?"
"The three pillars of the Lavien Group, united as always—wouldn't that be preferable? Why must we be torn apart?"
Quinn stepped closer, looking down at her with a piercing gaze.
"You left, and Travis intended to leave for you. Who knows if he would become the next you."
Since that was the case, it was better to kick him out from the start. This was the outcome Quinn had anticipated from the beginning.
"Does Alex know?" Harper met his gaze and asked directly, "Travis has been by his side for so long. Does Alex know what you're doing?"
Quinn remained silent, but Harper understood. That was the answer enough.
Harper smiled. "Fine, I should have known you would do this. I shouldn't have expected anything from you."
"Tell Alex, if you hurt the people I care about, don't blame me for hurting the people you care about."
With that, Harper turned and walked away without looking back.
Quinn stood there, staring at her retreating figure, not moving for a long time.
Why was it always Harper?
How much better would it be if Harper didn't exist?
Suddenly, he was startled by the thought that flashed through his mind.
He shook his head slightly.
No, he would wait a little longer. He could give Harper one more chance. But if Harper insisted on targeting the Lavien Group, he wouldn't hold back.
