Chapter 25 Prophecy
Upon hearing my words, Leonard said, “Eva, since when were you so unreasonable? Do you think threatening me with a divorce can offset the damage caused by your absence from work? If you want money, work hard. Don Lassume that you own the company”
Then, Leonard let me go. He frowned at me as if I was being unreasonable, but I couldn’t understand his statement
It seemed like Leonard had forgotten that I was his wife. Of course, Thad a share in the company. But I didn’t want to argue with Leonard.
Ishrugged and said, “I never knew I was so important. How did Harmon Group survive without me in the past? If I’m that important, I’m ser
I pushed Leonard aside and tossed my bag onto the couch. Displeased with my attitude, Leonard grabbed my wrist again. He paused
“Why did you lose weight? Haven’t you been eating
Thadn’t expected him to notice my weight loss. I scoffed, refusing to answer him.
I’m severely underpaid.”
The truth was I didn’t have much of an appetite. Patrick told me that I might lose my appetite even more after chemotherapy, but I had to eat nonetheless. Otherwise, my body would collapse.
Seeing how my wrist turned red from Leonard’s grip, I sighed 1 was too skinny, and my bones may really break.
“Eva, can you not be like this? You’re the design director, and many things are pending your approval. You cannot simply leave the company,” Leonard said.
I couldn’t help but talk back to him. “So? Why didn’t you answer Zachary’s call then? Oh, you didn’t pick up my calls either. Lily said you were busy.”
I gazed at Leonard emotionlessly. He seemed to be surprised and panicked for a moment, but it all eventually turned into anger.
“Eva, Thad an important meeting in the afternoon. Don’t be so unreasonable. Why is the fault always on someone else? Can’t you reflect on yourself?
“You were never like this when we were in university. Why do you blame innocent people now?
Isilently watched Leonard rage. I felt numb. I realized I couldn’t remember how I used to be in university. I wondered if Leonard still remembered how I used to be.
To Leonard, Lily was innocent. But what about me? Did I deserve it?
Closing my eyes, I could feel that my eyes were beginning to tear up. Leonard was right. I was different from my university days because Leonard would trust me unconditionally in the past.
Leonard worked with a few other students and hacked into the university’s security system. He found evidence of the other party plagiarizing my thesis. Then, Leonard went through the garbage to find my handwritten notes.
For one whole week, Leonard barely slept. When he showed up before me, he stinked. But didn’t mind that, I embraced him tightly.
Leonard looked at me in a panic. He hurriedly gave me a tissue. “What’s wrong? What’s happening to you?” His voice trembled, and he seemed genuinely afraid.
