Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 259

Chapter 259 You’re the Reason 

I looked at the project document Mr. Harmon Senior pushed toward me, and my expression. grew solemn. As expected, it was a cross–province project, and it even involved several major companies. 

If Harmon Group could secure this project, it would definitely launch them to new heights. The company had developed at an exponential rate for the past few years, but it lacked a big project that would elevate its status. 

I shut my eyes for a second. I knew there was probably not much room to turn this around. It didn’t matter how things between me and Leonard went. Harmon Group had to secure the project. 

“You’re mature and tactful, Eva. You should know how important this project is. Don’t get a divorce for the time being. Postpone it until after we’ve secured it.” Mr. Harmon Senior spoke 

in an authoritative tone. He was sure that I would agree to it. 

However, I wasn’t going to obey the Harmon family anymore. “Excuse me, but I’ve resigned. So, I’m not going to do any more design work for Harmon Group. Also, I am divorcing Leonard. If we can’t come to an amicable agreement, I will sue for divorce.” 

I wouldn’t have done something like this if I hadn’t been pushed to the corner. It was just that 

I knew how stubborn Mr. Harmon Senior was. I couldn’t reject him in a roundabout way. 

Mr. Harmon Senior was dumbfounded at first. Then, his expression grew grim. “Have you made your decision, Eva?” 

I nodded and looked him straight in the eyes. Mr. Harmon Senior sighed, and his voice turned cold and distant as he spoke. “You are the whole reason Leonard became who he is today, Eva. You aren’t entirely innocent for the state Harmon Group is in today.” 

My eyes widened in response, but I didn’t say anything. Mr. Harmon Senior was right. Leonard became who he is today because of me. His memories wouldn’t have jumbled up if it wasn’t for me, and Harmon Group wouldn’t have been in this mess. 

Everything could be traced back to me. 

“Leonard has been lending assistance to your family ever since you went overseas. He took over your mother’s treatment and your father’s case. He even went to Melgrove to deal with 

Keenan. 

“You owe him a lot, Eva. So, you can’t walk away this time.” 

Everything Mr. Harmon Senior said cut deep. He spoke the truth. I couldn’t repay everything Leonard did for me. He wouldn’t have turned into this if it wasn’t for me. 

It was a shame, though. We got tangled up for so long that we couldn’t make sense of 

anything anymore. 

All of a sudden, I heard Amelia’s voice. I couldn’t make out what she was saying, but I knew she was expressing concern for Leonard. 

I lowered my head to hide the emotion in my eyes. Now that I was seeing both of them together with my own eyes, I actually couldn’t pretend as if nothing happened. 

Mr. Harmon Senior’s tone softened when he realized I didn’t say anything. “You two have been entangled with each other for a long time. It’s impossible that you two didn’t have feelings for each other. What if Leonard goes back to his old self in the near future? 

“It’s okay if he doesn’t, anyway. I will personally reward you with 50 million dollars when divorce him after the whole thing is over. Consider it compensation for your efforts.”
