No Wife, No Life Chapter 253

The news that the Lavien Group was entering the bidding spread like wildfire, with Chloe representing them.

Everyone quickly realized that the Lavien Group was gunning for FusionX Company. On the surface, it was a battle between two companies, but in reality, it was Chloe versus Harper.

People couldn't help but wonder who would come out on top this time.

In the past, FusionX Company had Harper, and everything went smoothly. Now that Chloe was in the mix, the outcome was uncertain.

Rumor had it that FusionX Company's humanoid robot design was already cutting-edge. Did Chloe really have something more advanced?

The internet buzzed with speculation about who the winner would be.

On the day of the bidding, Harper got up early, only to find Caden already dressed in a perfectly tailored suit.

She glanced at the bedside table and saw a dress that matched his suit, clearly chosen by him.

Harper couldn't help but smile. "You're coming with me?"

Caden replied softly, "Yeah, Chloe will be there too, so I'm coming with you."

Harper responded, "Worried about me? Chloe's tough, but I think I can hold my own."

Harper's eyes sparkled with confidence, showing no fear of Chloe.

In truth, she was more worried about his legs, afraid of the mocking stares he might face.

Caden said, "I can't rest easy."

No matter what, he was the true president of FusionX Company and couldn't always stay behind the scenes, so she didn't refuse his company.

Manuel was already waiting downstairs. Seeing Caden with her, he didn't say anything.

The three got into the car. By the time they arrived at the venue, the bidding was about to start.

Unfortunately, as they entered the bidding hall, they ran into the Lavien Group team and Chloe.

Chloe was accompanied by Alex and Quinn.

Harperlocked eyes with Chloe, who was walking in front.

Chloe, a former entertainment star, was undeniably beautiful and elegant. Today, her makeup was flawless, and she wore a new model watch on her wrist.

Harper immediately recognized the watch as a limited edition, with only two in the world, valued at around eighty-eight million dollars.

Chloe was clearly someone the Wright family doted on immensely.

People like her, born into extreme wealth,  always wore their likes and dislikes on their faces.

Undoubtedly, she was a strong opponent but wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics like Emily.

Harper pondered.

While Harper observed Chloe, Chloe was also observing her.

In truth, this marked Chloe's first encounter with Harper, having previously only glimpsed her through video footage.

Chloe knew Harper was beautiful, but seeing her face-to-face was still a shock.

Harper's beauty wasn't superficial; it radiated from within.

Chloe couldn't help but think of Emily.

Emily was pretty, but she couldn't hold a candle to Harper.

She couldn't understand why Alex would divorce Harper for someone like Emily.

Chloe turned to Alex, "Mr. Lavien."

Alex's gaze had been fixed on Harper, and he only responded to Chloe's voice with a faint acknowledgment.

Chloe bluntly asked, "What were you thinking? Giving her up for Emily?"

Alex's face darkened.

What had he been thinking? Why had he given up Harper for Emily?

If he had another chance, he would protect Harper and never let her go.

He lowered his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

But it wasn't too late now, was it?

Harper ignored them and went straight to her seat.

The bidding officially began.

This was a government-hosted bidding event, with the main project being humanoid robots.

Various teams submitted their prepared designs, hoping to win the contract.

But most teams didn't hold much hope, knowing the biggest competitors were there, and no one could match them.

They were more interested in seeing how Harper and Chloe would compete, what their final products would look like, and who the winner would be.

Everyone knew Chloe had come to Majestic City for Harper, making her Harper's strongest opponent.

This was their first direct confrontation, and the outcome was crucial.

No one dared to bet on the winner.

Harper was Alvina's daughter, naturally talented, and had the genius Manuel by her side.

Chloe, on the other hand, had the Wright family's vast resources and connections, and her own research team abroad.

They were evenly matched, and no one dared to guess the outcome.

The organizers intentionally saved the two teams' products for last.

Upon FusionX Company's moment to present, they unveiled their humanoid robot, which garnered considerable acclaim within the system for manifesting sophisticated artificial intelligence, incorporating an elaborate artificial memory architecture and demonstrating remarkable communicative proficiencies.

FusionX Company's robot could patrol, do household chores, shop for groceries, and even handle business tasks.

If mass-produced, these robots could open up a whole new market.

Chloe watched FusionX Company's robot demonstration, her expression growing more serious. She nodded and discussed with her researchers, taking notes.

She had thought her intelligent system was superior, but FusionX Company's AI seemed to be ahead, especially in detail control.

For an AI meant to accompany humans, Harper's design was the most suitable.

After FusionX Company's presentation, it was Chloe's turn to showcase the Lavien Group's product.

Compared to FusionX Company's system, the Lavien Group's system focused more on safety and battery life. Their system emphasized security features, with the ability to protect the owner in dangerous situations, call for help, and perform basic first aid.

FusionX Company's system was for daily companionship, while the Lavien Group's system was more for protection.

Both products had their strengths and weaknesses, making it hard to choose between them.

Combining the two would be ideal, but given the current situation, that seemed unlikely. It was destined to be a tough decision.

Harper squeezed Caden's hand and whispered in his ear, "Who do you think they'll choose?"

After seeing the presentations, Harper was a bit worried. Chloe's product seemed perfect too, just with a different focus.

Caden pondered for a moment and confidently said, "They won't make any choice."
