Chapter 438 Chapter 438 Work WithLeonard stared atin disbelief. "What do you want out of our collaboration, Eva? What do you mean? We are meant to remarry each other at spoint. We should've never divorced in the first place!" I didn't know what made Leonard think that I would help him with no strings attached. More to the point, he setand Alisa up before he asked for my help.
I sighed wearily and did my best to calm myself down. "If you haven't thought of a proper reward for me, then we'll talk again when you have. With that said, you know how things are with my health. That means every minute of my life is very precious. I simply don't have the tfor pointless chatter with you." I rose and was about to leave, but Leonard heldback.
"I'm sorry, Eva. I wasn't in the right mood earlier. That's not what I meant." He softened his voice the sway he did when he used to soothein the past. This meant that he was begging me.

Your presence would stamp out all unfavorable rumors, and everything would be back to the way it was again. I swear." Instead of blaming me, Leonard gavean affectionate look. However, it only made the hair stand on the back of my neck.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to attend it." If I did, I'd be used like a pawn.
Harmon Group's reputation would be restored, and Leonard would beca great husband. Meanwhile, I would be the lady who took someone else's child as her own and ruined my former classmate's new life. More to the point, I had no intention of remarrying Leonard, not even a little.
"You know very well that it's impossible between us, Leonard," I spoke so calmly that one might've thought I was talking about someone else's affair.
Leonard chuckled and shook his head. "No. We're meant to be together. You've sacrificed so much for me, Eva. I can't just leave you to your fate. We have a baby now. Once I take over Harmon Group, we'll have nothing to fear. So, why are you rejecting me? "I know you love me, Eva, and the feeling is mutual. The right thing to do is to get remarried. Don't you think so?" Leonard looked a little hurt as if I was the one who abandoned him.
Then, he immediately smiled once more. "Furthermore, I announced our remarriage a long tago. Everyone knows about it. Aren't you aware of it? "What do you think everyone's going to say if you don't agree to it? Public opinion on the inteis very terrible, my dear. Think about your health. Do you think you can take the hit from the baseless rumors? Also, you should consider your stuand your friends." Leonard's tone turned a little creepy.
I looked at him in a daze. It felt as if I had never known him as a person. I took two steps back quietly and said, "My assistant is right outside. Don't do anything stupid.
"Furthermore, two can play at that game. I didn't clarify your self-asserted statement because of our shared past. Now that Harmon Group's share price has gradually gone back up, you can forget about using the remarriage to further your own agenda.

"If you continue to release baseless statements, I'll release statements of my own." I would've done it if it I weren't because of the stuff that went down in the middle of it.
There were scomments questioning the authenticity of our remarriage, but Leonard probably suppressed them swiftly. He knew about my weak spots, and I knew his. Leonard wasn't different from the wise men in the world of business; everything he did, he did it for his self- interest.
Leonard's gaze turned grim and cold, but he wore a grin on his face nonetheless. "Why do you insist on ruiningEva? You love me. What do you stand to gain from tearingdown? Could it be that you no longer care about the man who's closest to you? You're not that cold-blooded, are you?"
