No Wife, No Life Chapter 234

One of the board members, who used to back Marvin, was now grilling Harper. Since Marvin had been booted from the top ranks, his only concern was who could bring them more benefits. Naturally, in this regard, he would choose Harper without hesitation.

No wonder Manuel proclaimed that there would be a dramatic spectacle unfolding.

Harper kept a gentle smile, looking calm and composed.

"Is there really any concession between Caden and me? He and I are on the same side. Besides, FusionX originally belonged to Caden. I'm just giving him back what's his. How can that be called a concession?"

Her tone was light, but it sent a chill down everyone's spine. Clearly, she was warning the board member.

The board member's face showed signs of frustration.

"I really don't get you two. When we needed Caden to take charge, he let you manage FusionX. Now that we're used to this setup, you want Caden back in FusionX. What do you take FusionX for? This is a huge company, affecting many people's livelihoods. Aren't you being a bit too frivolous?"

By the end, the board member was almost shouting.

Harper wasn't fazed by his outburst. She scanned the room with a cold gaze before speaking, "Is that how all of you feel?"

The board members chuckled awkwardly but stayed silent.

Felix frowned and said, "Either of you can manage it in fact; it was originally your enterprise after all." 

But the board members continued to argue. Some said FusionX needed Harper, and since Caden was injured, he should stay home and recover instead of getting involved in the company's decisions.

Harper watched all this with an expressionless face, like an outsider enjoying a show.

When the arguments had almost died down, Harper slammed the documents on the table.

Suddenly, the room fell silent.

Everyone's eyes were on Harper, waiting to hear what she would say.

"How many shares do you all hold?"

The board members were stunned.

They knew very well that all their shares combined were still less than what Harper and Caden held.

"If any of you are unhappy with our arrangement, you can sell your shares. We'll buy them at market price, ensuring you won't lose out. What do you think?"

Harper's expression remained unchanged, but she was clearly threatening them.

The board members quieted down, and Harper continued the meeting, confirming a series of plans for FusionX.

They could understand that she would continue to stay at FusionX, and Caden would only handle some of the work, so they had no further objections.

They were genuinely worried that Harper might kick them out of FusionX.

The meeting proceeded normally. Near the end, a board member received a message, and his expression changed dramatically. He exclaimed, "Chloe Wright has returned to the country and is now at Majestic City International Airport!"

Immediately, the room was abuzz with discussion.

"I heard the Wright Group announced that they intend to acquire the Wood Company!"

If Chloe was back, it would definitely be a threat to FusionX.

Chloe was not someone to be taken lightly.

Majestic City Airport.

Chloe's return was undoubtedly the most attention-grabbing event at the airport that day.

Dressed in a perfectly tailored business suit, Chloe walked out of the airport with an air of elegance and professionalism.

Her features were striking and captivating, with deep-set eyes that gave her an almost mixed-race appearance.

As she appeared in public, whispers immediately started around her.

People at the airport stopped in their tracks, their eyes drawn to Chloe.

Whether they were passengers waiting to board or busy staff members, everyone slowed down to catch a glimpse of this woman who looked like she had stepped out of a magazine cover.

"She's stunning!" a young girl whispered in admiration.

It wasn't just her looks; it was the confidence and charm she exuded. She had a powerful presence that was hard to ignore.

But Chloe seemed accustomed to such admiration and envy.

She walked out gracefully, occasionally responding to her fans' enthusiastic calls, and maintained a polite smile.

"Chloe Wright, it's Chloe Wright!"

"It's really her, she's back!"

"Ms. Wright, can we take a picture with you?"

She was well-liked, having mingled in the entertainment industry before, so she had many fans in the country.

Meanwhile, Chloe's return quickly topped the trending charts.

[Airport Sighting Chloe Wright!]

With Chloe's return, related topics flooded social media, showcasing her influence.

Discussions about Chloe dominated social platforms.

And the news about the Wright Group's intention to acquire the Wood Company also broke out. Given Chloe's presence in Majestic City, the news seemed credible.

Back in the FusionX meeting room, there was a heavy silence.

The board member who first received the news was still struggling to catch his breath.

"Chloe is back in Majestic City. Wright Group plans to acquire the Wood Company and Chloe must be here for this."

Harper remained expressionless, calmly reading the news without saying a word.

Caden, however, frowned.

"The Wright Group is targeting the Wood Company, which used to be a part of FusionX. If the Wright Group wants to acquire the Wood Company, are they trying to send a warning to FusionX?"

Caden's words brought another wave of silence to the room.

Harper knew Chloe well. She was truly a golden girl, with exceptional beauty, remarkable intelligence, and an illustrious background. Chloe epitomized the quintessential individual who commanded the apex of the social hierarchy.

If it came to a direct confrontation with Chloe, Harper wasn't confident she could win.

If they were in different fields, it might be different. But they were in the same field. What Harper knew, Chloe likely knew too. And Chloe had advantages Harper didn't, like a powerful family background and extensive connections. In any conflict, public opinion would naturally side with Chloe.

So if Chloe became Harper's opponent, Harper's chances of winning were slim.

"Ms. Orsini, the Wood Company should have been a part of FusionX. It split off later. If anyone should acquire the Wood Company, it should be us."

"I don't understand why the Wright Group, whose main operations are in Starlight City, would come to Majestic City. Chloe must have ulterior motives."

"However, most of FusionX's liquid assets are tied up in recent projects. Even if we wanted to acquire the Wood Company, we might not have enough funds."

"Regardless, we can't let the Wright Group acquire the Wood Company! The Wright Group's actions are simply testing our boundaries. If we can't hold onto the Wood Company, the Wright Group's next target will be FusionX."

The boardroom erupted into chaos.
