No Wife, No Life Chapter 247

The day after sobering up, Brock discovered that his shares had already been sold to Noah. There was nothing he could do about it now, so he had to accept the reality.

And now, Noah was actually returning those shares to him.

Noah had gone through a lot to trick Amelia into persuading him to sign the share transfer agreement, so why would he return them so easily?

Staring at the contract in front of him, Brock's body trembled. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Harper. "How did you get this?"

"I talked to Noah. Your overseas company is just a small one and doesn't have much to do with the Elikin family. He agreed to return these shares to you."

Harper spoke calmly, "Since you've admitted your mistakes, these shares can be returned to you."

To be honest, Harper harbored some resentment towards him because he had once hurt Caden. But now that he had admitted his mistakes, Harper was willing to give him one last chance.

"Take this document back, manage your overseas company well, and live your life peacefully from now on."

Harper lowered her gaze and said, "Your overseas company recently launched a new collaboration project. You can contact the local customs department; there could be new opportunities."

Brock's eyes lit up.

He wasn't stupid; he knew this was Harper giving him a chance. Harper mentioning the customs department meant she knew someone was seeking collaboration, which was an opportunity for him.

He nervously thanked her.

Harper reminded, "I came here just to give you some advice. Sometimes you need to see reality clearly, figure out what you really want, and discern if the people you think are good for you are truly good for you."

Harper's words were referring to Marvin and Caden.

Marvin seemed to be good to him, but in reality, he hadn't helped him at all.

On the other hand, Caden, who seemed to be against him at every turn, was actually hoping Brock would grow up quickly.

Harper made it even clearer, "It's best not to get involved in the conflicts between Marvin, Caden, and others, and don't blindly invest. Always leave yourself a way out. Do you understand what I mean?"

Brock was stunned for a long time, seriously contemplating the meaning of her words.

No one had ever said these things to him before.

His mother had always instilled in him the idea of fighting for the family inheritance. He told him to please Marvin and go against Caden, repeatedly emphasizing that the Elikin family inheritance was his.

So he had always believed he could inherit the Elikin family fortune.

But now, he truly realized the gap between himself and Caden.

In the face of this crisis, Marvin never cared about how he was doing outside, nor did he tell him what to do next. He only humiliated him repeatedly.

He knew he had made mistakes and wanted to make amends, but Marvin never gave him any chance.

It was Harper, whom he had always considered an enemy, who gave him this chance.

He gazed at Harper; she no longer seemed imposing, now appearing delicate yet gentle, radiating boundless warmth.

Just like those netizens said, who wouldn't appreciate Harper after getting to know her?

She was exceptional, carefree, resolute, tenacious, and benevolent. He knew very well that without Harper's help, he would never have gotten back the overseas shares. She could have taken the opportunity to strike him down.

But she didn't. Instead, she helped him, giving him a lifeline.

Brock took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I get it."

Harper smiled, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "Good. Then I'll be going. Manuel and I have some things to take care of."

With that, she got up and left.

After leaving the meeting room, Harper got into the car.

Manuel didn't ask many questions and simply instructed the driver to go.

...

Meanwhile, in a high-end villa, Chloe silently reviewed the information collected by a private detective about Harper.

Harper's education, intelligence, and courage were all impeccable. She was a perfect opponent.

The only thing she might lose to was her family background.

Even her family background wasn't inferior because Harper's biological mother was Alvina, a woman who had once shocked the entire scientific community.

Chloe's eyes flickered as she learnt that Jacob and Harper had known each other since their teenage years and had a genuinely close relationship.

No wonder Harper treated him like a brother. No wonder Jacob abandoned his overseas collaboration and returned home immediately when he heard she was in trouble, even relocating HoloSphere Technologies' headquarters back to Majestic City.

Clearly, she was Jacob's fiancée, but no one seemed to know. No one knew about her existence or her relationship with Jacob. Instead, people often said that Jacob was one of Harper's suitors.

Chloe's gaze fell on the information, her long fingers gently stroking the photo on the table.

The photo was of Harper at a banquet, radiant as a star, even outshining the celebrities around her.

She was indeed stunningly beautiful. No wonder so many elite men were infatuated with her.

Chloe put away the information and organized the recent data she had collected before heading to Noah's office.

Although the Wood Company acquisition had failed, the Wright Group had acquired another company and was temporarily operating from there.

Noah wasn't in the office, but Lucas was leisurely sitting there, watching a variety show.

On the screen, the woman in the center had striking features and was captivatingly beautiful.

That woman was Molly.

Even though Chloe didn't follow the entertainment industry, she occasionally glanced at social media and knew that Molly was a recently skyrocketing star. But she didn't expect Lucas to be infatuated with Molly.

Chloe asked, "Where's Noah?"

"He went to a meeting. He should be back soon." Lucas didn't take his eyes off the screen, staring intently at Molly.

Chloe ignored him and walked forward, only to see Harper's photos from various angles on Noah's desk, including a back view of Harper that Caden had posted on social media. Chloe's heart sank.

As a woman, she understood the implications.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside, and Noah returned.

Chloe's face turned pale as she directly questioned, "Noah, do you like Harper?"

Noah said, "You figured it out."

Noah placed the documents on the desk, carefully took the photos from her hand, and put them in the drawer before speaking calmly, "Isn't it normal to like her?"

Any man would like a woman like Harper, right?

"Noah, how can you like her? You know her relationship with Jacob is ambiguous, and Jacob is my fiancé."

Noah interrupted her, "Chloe, you're overthinking."

"I can assure you, Harper and Jacob only share a pure sibling-like bond. Her feelings for Caden are genuine, so you can rest easy."
