Chapter 236 A Train Wreck of a Project
Leonard finally recalled I was his wife.
I shrugged. “I know you lost most of your memories, but you mentioned you would never take advantage of me. Since the company is using my design, why don’t you offer me a royalty fee? Are you trying to take advantage of me?”
I needed money for follow–up treatments. At this moment, I had no idea when Leonard would see the divorce through. Hence, I needed to make decisions in my own interest.
I had not considered selling my patent to any companies in the past, but I was willing to make an exception for Harmon Group.
My gaze swept past Amelia’s resentful face. I said in exasperation, “Leonard, you guys should know that I am no longer receiving my bonus. You’re basically abusing me if you refuse to offer me a royalty fee.”
Leonard frowned at the patents relating to the 10 or so projects under the company. He was about to say something, but Amelia beat him to it. “Leo, I’ll take the responsibility since I’m now in charge of the design department.”
She shot daggers at me. “I was Eva’s schoolmate, and I studied abroad for a few years. I think my design works just fine.”
I raised a brow in silence. Unless Leonard had lost his mind, he would not allow Amelia to
redesign for Harmon Group.
Our team had spent a year on the design and negotiations of the 10 projects. How was Amelia going to redesign everything?
Leonard would not agree to Amelia’s suggestion if he was thinking straight. After some deliberation, he disagreed with Amelia’s idea, as expected. “Amy, let’s discuss this later.”
He turned to me. “I’ll pay you the royalty fees.”
Amelia wanted to say something, but Leonard patted the back of her hand, reassuring her that everything would be okay.
I stared at their intimate interaction with a flat expression. Leonard needed to weigh the pros and cons of using my patent or getting Amelia to redesign.
I did not stay any longer. Holding the box of belongings, I left Harmon Group. At the entrance, I turned around to take one last look. Somehow, thad a feeling this would be my last time here.
When I returned to the hospital, I told Julian I wanted to be hospitalized. He looked at me expressionlessly. “So, are you still going to be a civil servant?”
I nodded in seriousness. “I want to get better and pass the civil service exams before the
age
of
Chappi 236 A Trim Winck of a Troject
35.”
After staring at me for a while, he flashed me a rather odd, conspiratory smile. “Sounds like a plan.”
When I was recovering at the hospital, Leonard took care of the paperwork based on my request. The paperwork was to transfer ownership of my projects, as well as clarify the projects that would not use my patented design.
Jean wore an apologetic look when she delivered the documents. “Eva, these are the results of your hard work. They’ve crossed a line.”
