Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Something Seems Off "The Harmon family can't have only Leonard as the successor. The amount of sleeping pills he took was significant but should not affect his health too much. However, he must have an heir. If he wakes up, I need you both to have a child within a year. Do you understand I swallowed nervously, having already guessed what he was about to say After three years without a child, this issue had always been a thorn in his heart.

If Leonard were to face an issue, the family's future would be in jeopardy. I could understand the old-fashioned thinking, but with my current health, having a child seemed like an impossible dream.

Iclosed my eyes briefly "tan, I'm sorry. I can't have children.

When I opened my eyes again, his expression showed no surprise, likely aligned with his previous suspicions.

I said in a horse voice, "I've discussed divorce with Leonard. I don't want half of his assets, but he hasn't agreed yet." tan looked atfor a long moment before finally nodding.

"My dear, you've had a hard time. The Harmon family will not let you down. I will help you with the divorce." Chapter Clearing Suspicions Born though couldn't leave the buspital room or use my phone, 1 kors that the situation at Harmon Group mest bechastic with Lesnardin a ropa, alatal accident on the construction site, andbeing accused of murder, any one of these issues was enough to shock the public.

torty day, there were police officers stationed on talde my hospital room. If it was proven that committed the crime, I would be considered a serious criminal and would naturally be under sirket surveillance.

When Emina and Leslie cto volt, they brought bad news.

"Luca has presented a power of attorney signed by Leonard, cloning that he is now acting as the president. He's taken over all company matters.

"Since Leonard is still uncontelous and you're in this situation, what can we do? He's already started interfering with the Hit department "rve argued with him about this, but he says you're a murdecer. He's threatening to take back your shares and cut all ties with you. He's really a bastard Het tone was filled with anger, clearly indicating she had also been mistreated in recent days. This seemed to confirmy suspicions.

Laca had been pretending to be the good elder brother, and now he was seizing power r with Leonard in trouble. Everything was going too smoothly to be a coincidence My suplions grew even stronger, especially after beating that the final approval for several projects in the design department was signed off by him and that all the documents were in his possession.

"at's Irapossible. Department One and Two are stalled by bong- -temployees. In acertain situations, no one would act recklessly" I knew my team well. En had no foundation; it was unlikely anyone would defect to him.

Emma looked a bit disheartened "But he lud control over the key project designs and changed the systern password. I can't even access it." Twas taken aback. These major projects were crocial for Harmon Group's development over the next five years. He had only been with the company for a few days, yet he had pinpointed the company's financial lifelines and taken control of all the designs. He must have placed spies within the company But who else could it be, aside from Tom, who had already been exposed? The face of Memphis flashed in my mind, but had no concrete evidence and could only warn Emma to be cautious around him.

As visiting hours ended, she looked atwith red eyes.

"Ex, you need to stay strong. Take the medication the doctor prescribes and don't fear the chemotherapy treatments. If something happens to you, it will truly be over. Inodded silently, and then a sudden realization struck me. It something happened to me, the west ouirwould be a division of my shares. But what if something happened to Lionard? "Emma, ask Zack to keep a close eye on Leonard and ensure no one takes advantage of the station. Go to lan and explain the company's situation to him." She nodded dumbly, clearly not understanding my fill meaning.

That twas of the essenor, and couldn't afford to explain everything could only hope that the people aroundweren't fook.

The female ofcerglanced atand cleared her throat. The doctor said you need more rest and to be careful of a relapse." [locked at her gratefully, then returned to my bed. I felt a wave of exhaustion My health ww indeed very fragile, but I couldn't let things spiral out of control Not just for Leonard and my feelings for him from college, but also because of the help tan gaveand my mother.

And the other day, when Ivy mentioned that Leonard had investigated my father's accident, couldn't shake the feeling that loved him a debt of gratitude.

Debts of gratitude were the hardest to repay A few days passed unnoticed, and then suddenly, the police office who had takento the stati to the station cto my hospital room.

"Ew, your suspicion has been cleared. At that time, we intern doctors were on duty and stacking off They were smoking in the emergency exit when they saw you only running over after hearing the cries. The surveillance will be lifted shortly, and you are free to move about." llet out alongsigh of relief and kept thanking him.

Thad never wanted to be a suspect.

Three were still many important matters at Harmon Group that needed my attention, and I couldn't afford to stay in the hospital. "ww.still need you to provide sinformation about Lily. Please cooperate." "She's missing, and her accounts have substantial overseas transfers, but she has already moved the funds to offshore accounts. Please share any leads you have." 1 quickly nodded and shared my simplicions, especially regarding the incident at the construction site.

*Most of the defective materials at the site were from Hatchworks. The documents are with my colleague, Emma, and I put them in the safe." The officernodded and then asked, "Was she able to get into your house? es, she had the password." The police probably knew about her being Leonard's mistress, didn't hold back

"She's the one who arranged for Vera's kidnapping and stole the jewelry. We have obtained the m surveillance footage, it seems she also abducted the little girl and took her to your apartment Witnesses saw her with the gel there. "By the way, check how much jewelry is missing" Hooked at the officer contusion. "A friend of mine ved my house, and the storage card is missing." "That surwillere footage automatically uploads via WIEL Leonard's secretary, Emil, found the video and handed it over to the police. Thanks to her providing the footage and cating wit, we were able to clean your nso quickly" Chapter 82 Clearing Suspicions I was stunned by the officer's words. Emilia, who had always disliked me, had actually helped me? I glanced toward the door. Emilia, still in her professional attire, adjusted her black-framed glasses with a seemingly indifferent expression. But I thought I saw her gently wiping a tear from the corner of her eye.
