No Wife, No Life Chapter 218

Finally, someone broke the silence.

"Why did the live stream cut out right at the crucial moment?"

Brock swore under his breath, clearly frustrated.

Harper, staying composed, said, "I had someone on-site streaming. Let's switch to another channel."

She glanced at her assistant, who quickly logged in and pulled up another live stream.

The screen flickered back to life.

In just a few minutes, the new model designed by Luminary Innovations Inc. had burned down to its frame.

Because Luminary Innovations Inc. had hyped up this event so much, many experts in the smart tech field were present.

They informed the journalists that, from their preliminary assessment, the autonomous vehicles developed by Luminary Innovations Inc. potentially harbored significant safety concerns. Nevertheless, the specific causes remained somewhat ambiguous and necessitated further comprehensive investigation.

Meanwhile, the high-ranking officials from Luminary Innovations Inc. were being swarmed by reporters from around the world, bombarding them with embarrassing questions.

In short, this live stream not only failed to promote Luminary Innovations Inc.'s car but also raised serious doubts among the audience.

In the conference room, Neal watched the scene unfold, feeling dizzy and weak, almost collapsing to the floor.

There was no doubt; he realized he had fallen into a deadly trap.

At this moment, Harper spoke slowly, "Is the head of the PR department here?"

"Yes, Ms. Orsini, what can I do for you?"

"Release an official statement right now, announcing that FusionX Company's smart technology has been stolen. Remember, don't mention Luminary Innovations Inc. or any other company; we have no evidence."

"You need only upload our research parameters to the internet, and online users will naturally make the comparision. It won't take long before they recognize that Luminary Innovations Inc.'s specifications are virtually indistinguishable from our own."

The head of the PR department nodded eagerly, eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Besides, emphasize that the foreign company stole fake technology."

"We set up a countermeasure system in our database. The foreign company accessed the countermeasure system, so they stole a bunch of fake data. The new smart car they built based on that data is prone to explosions."

Harper explained calmly, her face serene.

The PR head was diligently taking notes, but his hand trembled, almost dropping the pen.

Now, everyone understood that the company's secrets had never been leaked.

Everyone exchanged glances.

After a moment, they seemed to wake up and all looked at Harper.

Could it be that Harper had planned this trap from the beginning?

Harper leaned back lazily, looking relaxed.

"I've contacted a few researchers they fired. I'll send you their contact information. Arrange a live interview with them. They should know a lot of dirt on Luminary Innovations Inc." 

"They used substandard steel to build cars and released new models without safety tests, causing major accidents. And Luminary Innovations Inc. bribed the victims to cover it up. Remember, our interview should focus on safety issues, got it?"

Indeed, everything was going according to her plan.

She wanted to drop a bombshell at this critical moment.

The conference room was silent, with only Harper speaking.

The PR head was taking notes, his hand trembling slightly.

He sensed that this wasn't a crisis but a major opportunity for FusionX Company! Harper had been in control from the start.

No wonder everyone else was panicking, while Harper remained calm.

"Lastly, we'll announce that FusionX Company will hold a test drive event at Devil's Racecourse in three days, and it will be live-streamed."

She was planning a beautiful counterattack.

"Got it, I'll get on it right away," the PR head said, his face flushed with excitement.

But Harper wasn't done yet.

She turned to Felix and asked, "Mr. Rodriguez, how much liquid capital do we have available?"

Felix snapped out of his daze and replied, "I'll have the finance department send you the report."

Seconds later, her phone buzzed with the report.

Harper glanced at it and chuckled, "Perfect. Next, I'll use these funds to acquire Luminary Innovations Inc.'s domestic assets. I want the land they bought in Majestic City. I also want the world's largest factory they're planning to build as well as the billions of dollars they've raised."

The conference room filled with gasps.

No one expected Harper to be so ruthless, giving the opponent no chance to fight back.

Neal propped himself up on the conference table to keep from collapsing.

He looked at Harper, his face covered in cold sweat.

It turned out that from the beginning, the one being set up wasn't Harper, but him.

Harper had known his identity all along.

She had just watched him step by step into her trap.

Now, Neal was utterly shocked.

He stared blankly at Harper giving orders, watching her dismantle the opponent.

Finally, Harper finished arranging everything and then casually glanced at Marvin.

"Mr. Elikin, are you satisfied with the current outcome?" she asked with a mocking smile.

Marvin's face turned ashen, but he had no words to refute.

He knew that with Harper's plan, FusionX Company would soon acquire all of Luminary Innovations Inc.'s domestic assets.

What could he say now? No matter how angry he was, he had to tolerate it.

He sat there stiffly, unable to respond.

Then Harper spoke slowly, "I seem to remember that Mr. Elikin and Mr. Rodriguez signed an agreement."

Marvin's face turned pale.

He had almost forgotten about that.

At the time, he forced Felix to sign an agreement that if Harper failed, Felix would sell his shares to Brock, or Harper would be completely ousted from FusionX Company.

But now, Harper won, he was the one being kicked out of FusionX Company. Then, the entire FusionX Company would be under Caden's control.

With Harper's personality and ability, who could say whether FusionX Company would belong to Caden or Harper?

At this point, Marvin swallowed his pride and led the applause.

With him leading, the entire conference room erupted in applause.

Everyone looked at Harper with admiration, fear, and anger, but Harper didn't care.

She had achieved what she cared about.

Someone started cheering, and soon more people joined in, the previously tense atmosphere turning jubilant.

At this moment, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, realizing Harper had led them to victory.

Harper chuckled and turned to the big screen, her tone light, "Watch the live stream; the follow-up is quite exciting."

"Yes, Ms. Orsini!" the assistant shouted excitedly.

On the big screen, the driver who had narrowly escaped was being interviewed by reporters.

"I don't know why it exploded. I hit the gas, and there was a loud bang from the trunk! The smart system didn't respond at all, no warnings. I had to jump out of the car. Luckily, I'm a stunt driver with escape experience. An ordinary person would have been burned to death."
