No Wife, No Life Chapter 266

Caden definitely had the right to speak up, considering he was Harper's boyfriend now.

Before Alex could respond, Quinn had already pulled his hand back and stepped in front of Alex, his words dripping with sarcasm.

"Mr. Elikin, you are so funny, but shouldn't you be thanking Alex the most? After all, Harper fell in love him first."

His eyes were full of mockery.

"Even if Harper chose you now and loves you, you won't be the only one. She'll always remember the first man she loved was our president."

"Our president is someone Harper will never forget."

Coincidentally, Dennis was also there, and hearing this made him almost laugh in anger.

He spoke coldly, "I don't get how a cheater in a relationship has the nerve to say such things. My sister only feels pain when she thinks of you. If you had any decency, you shouldn't keep bothering her."

Quinn's smile remained, but his gaze turned icy as he stared at Dennis for a few seconds.

"I just want to know if she's safe."

Finally, Alex lowered his eyes and spoke.

Travis stood among the crowd, watching Alex and Quinn on opposing sides, feeling an indescribable sadness.

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Initially, they had the best relationship; Quinn, Harper and Travis were the unbreakable trio of the Lavien Group.Now, they stood against him as if they were enemies.

Everything had changed.Seeing Alex, whom he once respected the most, being ridiculed like this still made Travis sad.

"Ms. Orsini is very safe. Mr. Lavien doesn't need to worry."In the end, it was Travis who broke the eerie silence.

Alex looked at him, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke, "Okay, I understand."

Their relationship was indeed strange now. After the incident where Travis was framed, their past camaraderie was almost gone.

Travis speaking up at this moment showed he still had some conscience.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely awkward.

Suddenly, someone chuckled lightly, followed by a soft clap.

"Impressive, really. Harper sure knows how to make every man go crazy for her, whether it's her ex-husband, colleagues, or my fiancé. They all care so much about her." Chloe smirked, who had been watching coldly.

"Just one Harper, and so many people are worried about her." Her gaze fell on Jacob.

Jacob's expression changed slightly as he walked over to her and whispered, "Don't say these things now. Let's talk privately."

Chloe's face remained cold, but she stared at him for a long time, eventually respecting his suggestion and saying nothing more.

After Orion and Caden left, Chloe and Jacob met at a nearby restaurant.

Chloe, used to being spoiled, only ordered her favorite dishes, then tossed the menu in front of him.

"Order whatever you like."

Jacob lowered his eyes and just ordered a coffee.

Chloe's eyes were filled with coldness. She stared at Jacob, her voice tinged with resentment. "Jacob, what do you mean?"

"Do you not even have time to have a meal with me? Are you so averse to spending time in my company?"

"Or is it because Harper isn't here, and you have no appetite?"

"Why do all of you go nuts for Harper? Is she that important? It's one thing for them to go crazy; at least they're single. But what about you? Have you forgotten you have a fiancée?"

"You chase after Harper all day. Have you ever thought about my feelings? People who know you're my fiancé are even laughing at me behind my back. Do you know that?"

She truly hated Harper.

It wasn't because Harper was excellent and beautiful; those were Harper's strengths, and she had to admit that.

Even if Harper attracted all the men in the world with her beauty and abilities, she wouldn't care. But her own fiancé was among them.

She couldn't accept that.

HoloSphere Technologies had assisted FusionX Company on numerous occasions, not because of Caden, but because of Harper.It was ridiculous.

She was the esteemed Miss Wright, adored by many, yet she was ridiculed because of Jacob.

"Remember, I am your fiancée." Chloe was aggressive.

Jacob sighed deeply, feeling quite helpless.

"Chloe, my relationship with Harper isn't what you think. I see her as a sister."

"She's just a sister I watched grow up. Our relationship is purely sibling-like and will never cross the line."

"Do you really think I believe that? Harper isn't just any woman. Besides, there's no such thing as pure friendship between men and women." Chloe didn't believe his explanation at all.

Jacob was silent for a moment before speaking again, "No matter how excellent Harper is, we won't be together. You can rest assured; I have no other feelings for her."

Chloe just sneered.

Jacob said, "So, I hope you stop targeting Harper. She might not be able to come back within a month. Your agreement..."

Before he could finish, Chloe slammed her cup on the table. "Jacob, shut up!"

"This is between Harper and me. You men who adore her should stay out of it. Even her fiancé hasn't said anything. Who are you to speak?"

"With your so-called sibling relationship? Even her brother Dennis hasn't spoken. You don't have the right to speak for Harper."

Jacob's words only infuriated her more.

Chloe's head was still buzzing.

She had been frustrated with her lab work, and now, hearing him say this made her inexplicably angry.

"Know your place and understand what's important." Chloe spoke harshly, her tone domineering.

"After all this time, you're still like this." Jacob couldn't help but sigh.

Their engagement had been arranged by his father. Jacob were young then and hadn't thought about who he would marry, so he didn't think much of it.

But now, it seemed they might not be suitable for each other.

She was beautiful and excellent, with a good family background, but she was too domineering.

"What's wrong with my temper? I've always been like this, and no one has ever said anything."

Chloe looked at Jacob, almost pressing him with her words, "Jacob, you need to understand your position. You're my chosen fiancé, and no one can take you from me."
