Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 The Same 

I had gotten caught in her traps too many times. I knew it was wise to create some evidence. 

I gave the document to her and asked Crystal to record the process. 

There weren’t many at the studio, so I asked everyone to come to my office as witnesses. 

“Eva, are you crazy? Do you think I’ll hurt you?” 

Amelia’s chest rose and fell as she heaved with anger. I looked at her, void of emotion. 

“Have you lost your memory after getting pregnant? Have you forgotten how you hurt me? Think of the baby in your womb. You can’t afford to be angry. 

I watched as she signed all the handover documents. I shoved the documents into my bag in front of her. 

“I’ll temporarily safeguard these documents and bring them with me. You will never find them.” 

Amelia’s face flushed red, then paled. I had successfully angered her. 

However, I had no choice. 

Once bitten, twice shy. I would safeguard these documents until the project was done. 

I did not need to go to the venue since Amelia was going there. 

I texted Leonard and told him Amelia had visited me and that she would replace me to make the introduction at the venue.

If Amelia flopped, I would have to take the blame 

This was my project; I didn’t want anyone else to take the fall. 

The design department didn’t need to introduce anything on stage. However, as the lady boss, I had to take on this part of the work.

Now that Amelia was in the picture, I felt a sense of relief. 

I lay in bed and drifted to sleep, only to be woken up by Leonard blowing my phone up. 

Leonard wasn’t the only one. Jean and Emma called me too. 

I slowly got up, and Leonard called again. I answered. 

“Eva, come to the venue. Something bad has happened.” 

“What’s the matter?” 

1 thought nothing wrong would happen if Leonard were there unless Amelia decided to pull something. 

Leonard lowered his voice drastically, and the venue sounded messy. 

“Pinnacle Group’s design looked exactly the same as ours. They are halfway through their explanation.” 

“How could this be?” 

Himmediately sprung up with a clue that something was off. 

The whole designing process was kept confidential–even Mr. Harmon Senior forbade Lucal from getting involved. Why would anyone leak it?

When I arrived at the venue, Pinnacle Group had finished explaining. It was Harmon Group’s
