Chapter 433 Chapter 433 Make Everything Right Again "I didn't do anything." Leonard chuckled. "I'm aware you're recording the phone call, but are you aware that it can't be presented as evidence? I told you, Eva. I know you better than you do yourself. Don't play tricks with me." His tone was carefree, but it didn't seem like he respectedat all.
I guessed Leonard was right. We had been together for a long time. He knew my moves.
"What the hell do you want?" I roared. His intentions were clear to me, but I would never remarry him no matter how he forced me.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeonard's voice was soft when he said, "I want to remarry you and make everything right again. We love each other, Eva. I want everything to go back to the way i was. You know it. You know that I've never- 11 I hung up the phone mercilessly, not wanting to hear another word out of his mouth. Leonard resorted to such despicable and shameless means to force my hand All he cared about was achieving his selfish goal.
Recently, Leonard had been carefully crafting his own impression in front of the people. He even carried his son in his arms while he went overseas.
He was this handsome, wealthy, and loving husband, and that fed into nearly everyone's fantasy. Snetizens actually started to ship us together. These comments on the intemadefeel sick.
I was on the brink of collapse when my phone rang once again. I saw that was Crystal, and I knew that something terrible had happened. "Hello? Is something wrong?" I asked in a husky voice when I answered the phone.
Crystal was stunned for a moment, but she composed herself very quickly. "Eva, several collaborations were called off, and Harmon Group was the first among them. We didn't know Southbridge Tech was secretly backed by Harmon Group when we first agreed to a collaboration with them. Now, they've pulled a fast one over us.
"Can you drop by the company if it's okay for you, Eva?" Crystal sounded a little unsure of herself. She had always been a tough cookie, and there was only one reason for her to be acting this way; things had gotten so messy that she didn't know how to handle it. Also, what Crystal said enlightened me.
Leonard was worried that threatening Alisa wouldn't be enough to force my hand. So, he dealt a blow to my company as well. If that was the logic, then he would target Alisa once more. If he could pull it off, he might take on the Pope family.
I knew what kind of tricks Leonard would use.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI took a deep breath. "Alright. I'll drop by tomorrow. I'll need you to stall things for one day for me." After I hung up the phone, I went to the restroom to splash swater on my face. Only then did I feel refreshed a little. This wasn't the tforto be feeling defeated. I had to pick myself up. I might not have long to live, but I couldn't let the others suffer collaterally. Leonard gaveseveral calls again, but I didn't answer them. This time, I didn't block him. I wasn't sure what he would contactabout next time, and I was also worried that I would miss his call when something happened to my company.
Eventually, I picked up Leonard's call after about ten more attempts from his side. "You're such a hypocrite, Leonard. Dream on if you want to remarry me! I will never..." "It's me, "1 Eva."
I didn't calm down until I heard Jack's voice over the phone. I looked at the caller's number again and explained in a somewhat awkward tone, "I'm sorry. I thought "Why didn't you tellwhen you and Alisa went to Melgrove?" Jack sounded a little angry, which madethink twice about speaking.
Eventually, he sighed helplessly and said, "My flight's tonight. Wait for me.
"No. Don't chere. I'll be back there tomorrow," I hurriedly hurriedlinterrupted him I'll buy the flight ticket right now, and I'll return tomorrow."
I thought about what had happened to my company and spoke up again, albeit somewhat embarassed, "Can you look into the situation my company is in, Jack? Someone from the government might be auditing us.' "Consider it done."
