Chapter 301 Proof
Leonard merely said one sentence, and Amelia immediately broke doven.
She troze for a while, then let out a bitter laugh. “Loo, you still believe her?”
Honestly, I didn’t get why he dicht’t trust me
Leonard’s affair wasn’t a secret. It had been going on for years. Had I ever failed to do my job because of it? Did he really think I’d compromise my own principles just because he cheated?
Leonard gave her a glance, emotionless, before turning to the others. “Let’s hear some thoughts. This can’t just be swept under the rug.
The way he ignored Amelia only fueled her anger. She slammed the table and stood up, looking utterly wronged.
“Mr. Harmon, even if you want to defend her, you should at least consider the timing, right?” she shot back.
“Didn’t Eva get complaints for plagiarism before? She was even investigated for stealing patents! Who’s to say she didn’t steal someone else’s design this time, and that’s why we’re in this mess?”
Amelia clutched her stomach, looking hurt but still stubbornly holding her head high
She sneered, “I trust my colleagues at Harmon Group, of course, but there are others involved here who aren’t from Harmon Group. Who knows what they’d do for money? A certain someone has already sold their wedding ring and necklace for cash, haven’t they?”
Emma and I exchanged glances, shock evident in both our eyes. Was Amelia so desperate to smear me that she’d bring up my past like this?
Glenn couldn’t help but mutter under his breath, “You were the one who picked up the documents and the speech yesterday when things went wrong. Seems like you’re the most suspicious.”
“What? Say that again!” Amelia snapped, straightening up with her hands resting on her stomach.
“I’m carrying Leonard’s child. I’m part of the Harmon family. Why would I do something like that?” she shot back. “If anything, someone else here is holding a grudge and framing me!”
I had enough of her throwing accusations at me.
“Do you have proof? If not, I’ll sue you for defamation. Let’s see you give birth in prison.” I raised my head, keeping my tone calm.
She started stammering. “Y–You.” But she couldn’t come up with any evidence.
She had none, but I did. I turned on the projector and brought up the photos Lydia had taken earlier.
“Here, this is the slide I used with the typo in the fourth meeting, which Jean pointed out back then. We’ve since corrected it, so our updated version doesn’t have this issue, but Pinnacle Group’s does. This design detail was only finalized right before the last meeting.”
Amelia rolled her eyes at me. “What does that prove?”
