Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 283

Chapter 283 Infringement 

With Caleb taking charge of the cross–province project, the progress sped up significantly. 

He and Leonard worked together seamlessly, effectively sidelining Luca’s team. My team had grown to six or seven members. They were young, but that was exactly why they had countless new ideas. 

I knew the success of this project would directly impact whether Harmon Group could reach new heights, so we made sure to perfect every detail. I incorporated Crystal’s patent and utilized Glenn’s research insights. 

Leonard’s health improved considerably, and he texted me updates on his treatment progress at times. 

I never replied to him. I was afraid he would divorce me immediately if he deemed himself to be in a good condition. To be honest, I had brought up the divorce a few times, but Leonard once blocked me because of it. I never mentioned it again after that. Right now, the project was more important, and I didn’t want to make any unnecessary headlines. 

After we finally completed the design, our proposal passed the review at Harmon Group’s 

conference. 

Caleb was all excited. “Eva, you really are the best! You’re incredible!” 

“Eva, your team has so many ideas. I should also resign and join you. We’re close friends. We can accomplish great things if we work together, Emma chimed in. 

Looking at how the others in the design department stared at me with admiration, I shook my head. I would be in trouble if I poached the entire design department of Harmon Group. 

Only Luca looked at my design and stated indifferently, “That’s it? Harmon Group’s design department could come up with this. I really don’t see the need to collaborate with Eva. Are you just trying to spend money?” 

Caleb stared at me awkwardly. 

I shrugged. “I’ve already handed this design to Harmon Group. With what you just said, you’re not trying to steal my design, are you? People from Harmon Group did that before; it wouldn’t be the first time. If you really do steal my design, I can just apply for investigation, right?” 

He stood up, trying to say something but ended up just stammering. Everyone knew very well whether those two from that day were Lily’s people or Luca’s people. He didn’t dare to confront me further as he left in anger. 

Emma smiled disdainfully. “With non–professionals leading the professionals, Harmon Group is doomed if this continues.” 

I sighed as well, suddenly missing Leonard. He was an absolute professional at work, and he 

wouldn’t casually interfere in something. 

Aside from my slight disappointment, Glenn and the others were thrilled. His junior, Lydia Jackman—whom Glenn had taken a liking to–was especially delighted. She had contributed a few ideas, so she was extremely proud.
