No Wife, No Life Chapter 264
Harper had never really gotten the saying "a father's love is as steady as a mountain."
Growing up, all Brad ever gave her was humiliation and scolding. But after meeting Declan, she realized that fathers like that really did exist.
It became clear that her own father wasn't as gentle as he seemed. He had a kind face, but he was decisive in his actions and could be quite indifferent to others.
However, he was willing to spoil her."Dad!" Finally, she called out softly.
"I suddenly feel like she did some things right." Harper smiled, a sense of relief washing over her.
"Ms. Taylor made a lot of mistakes, but she also did a lot of things right. She saved you, allowing me to have a father who loves me."
Alvina chose Declan, giving up on her and Dennis.It was because of her choice back then that Harper now had a father who loved her.
"Alright, Harper, would you mind telling me about Mr. Elikin?" Declan asked Harper.
He still looked at Harper the same way, but when he mentioned Caden, the warmth in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of coldness.
He was naturally wary of his daughter's fiancé.
"How did you know about Caden?"
Harper was momentarily stunned but quickly understood.
Declan had mentioned that he could hear Alvina's words and sense what was happening outside. Alvina must have mentioned Caden to him.
Seeing that Harper had figured it out, Declan continued, "Is he good to you?"Hearing her father mention Caden, Harper's eyes softened. "He's as important to me as you are to Ms. Taylor."
Even though she expressed her feelings, Declan's expression remained indifferent, showing little fondness for Caden.
No matter what, Harper was his blood. Even if they were created through Alvina's technological means, they were still his children. He cared about them and wanted to take care of them.
When he heard that Harper had fallen for someone she shouldn't have, gone through a failed marriage, and suffered unprecedented pain, he couldn't accept it, even in his coma.
His Harper was so outstanding, yet she was hurt by her lover.
Not long after, Alvina told him that Harper had a new lover.
Over the years, Alvina had always shared everything with him, so he knew about Harper founding HoloSphere Technologies, her confusion about love, and her new lover, Caden.
He wasn't unable to accept it; it was just too fast.
As a father who loved his daughter, he genuinely worried about her getting hurt again.
So, he wanted to ask her directly if Caden treated her well.
Without a moment's hesitation, Harper gave a firm response.
"Caden is very good to me. He's not just my lover; he's my soulmate."She wanted to say that Caden understood her.
They had similar experiences and worldviews, all of which made them true soulmates.
Declan sighed helplessly. "Are you married?"
Harper paused. They weren't married yet.
She replied, "Caden's leg hasn't healed yet. I'll heal him, and when he can stand, he'll propose to me."
"Would you mind waiting until I get back to Majestic City before you tie the knot?"
Declan wasn't trying to pressure her; he just wanted her opinion. "If possible, I'd love to see you get married and personally give you away."
It was more than just a ceremony to Declan; it was a mission.
Harper was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
"So, Dad, are you waking up soon?"
Declan nodded to reassure her. "I think I should be waking up soon. You won't have to wait long."
As he spoke, he seemed to sense something and hugged her. "Someone's here to pick you up. You should go back."
...
Ten days ago.
The business world in Majestic City was already in chaos.
Harper had been gone for twenty days. By the fifth day of her absence, Manuel couldn't take it anymore and guessed where she had gone.
As a result, Dominic sent people to inquire about the situation.
But no one knew where Harper was.
All they knew was that Harper had gone to see Alvina.
Alvina's counter-surveillance techniques and data analysis were top-notch. Even Manuel couldn't quickly crack those codes.
If Alvina hadn't deliberately exposed herself, almost no one in the world could have tracked her location.
Everyone was waiting for news from Harper. Some even spread rumors that Harper had fled abroad, fearing she would lose to Chloe.
Most of these rumors came from FusionX Company employees, as they hadn't seen Harper for many days.
And many people believed these rumors.
This time, Harper's opponent was Chloe, who was always hailed as a genius. So, people thought Harper had backed down and was scared.
Soon, the employees spreading these rumors were immediately fired, and FusionX Company released statements to clear up the rumors.
But Harper had been gone too long. Not only did those around her start to doubt, but even FusionX Company's shareholders worried that Harper didn't intend to continue managing the company.
Fortunately, the ongoing projects with FusionX Company continued steadily, slightly easing their concerns.
Manuel had reached his limit and decided not to wait any longer.
"Give me all the code data Harper received about Alvina. Even if we can't find the exact address, we can find the people Alvina interacted with and figure out where she is."
At this point, perhaps only Manuel had the ability to find information related to Alvina.
After two hours of calculations, Manuel found a frequently appearing coordinate address.
[DA Group Building]
The coordinates Alvina and Harper often used turned out to be the DA Group Building.
DA Group was a renowned multinational corporation overseas, but no one knew who the chairman was. The public faces were always the Robinson family siblings: Sirius, Stella, and Orion.
Sirius mainly handled legal affairs, Stella was in charge of mergers and acquisitions, and Orion was the company's public president. The company was known as the "God of Investment" and was hailed as the "Child of Finance."
DA Group was famous not only for its vast network and cash flow but also for the Robinson siblings. They were exceptionally talented, mysterious, and attractive.
The final coordinates turned out to be the DA Group Building, which no one had expected.
DA, was the initials of Declan and Alvina?
