Chapter 314 It’s Definitely Not Her
Mr. Harmon Sentor’s voice dripped with anger, but I felt oddly calm then.
“Mr. Harmon Semine, a valid argument doesn’t need to be shouted. You haven’t found evidence proving I leaked the data. Otherwise, you would’ve the police on me by now, right?
Hammon Group had yet to secure the project, and the designs were suspiciously similar to those of other companies, which sparked speculation in the
industry.
If Pinnacle Group completed their project successfully, the opposing company world sour, leaving Harman Group without support.
Harmon Group firm wasn’t even appealing the situation. Why would anyone else step in to help?
It they could pin the data theft on me, Hermon Group might regain some of their reputation. But I refused to use my name to prve the way
For a moment, neither of us spoke as Mr. Harmon Senior silently glared at me.
Finally, he broke the silence with a chuckle, “Eva, I know you still have feelings for Leonard. But since you’re getting divorced and don’t want any of the assels, I won’t make this difficult for you. Let’s consider this settled.”
He made it sound so simple as if I were the one benefiting from the arrangement. But I had no interest in that so–called benefit
“No, I’m going to get divorced, but I’ll also have Emma report this to the police. Or I can report it as the wronged party since I can’t just take the blame
for this
I
Mr. Hammon Senior was infuriated by my words, but I didn’t care.
I used to think he was helping me and treating the courteously, but now, I realized that his treatment of me merely reflected how he felt about Leonard As I turned to leave, I spotted Amelia rushing in.
The expression on Mr. Harmon Senior’s face shifted instantly.
“Amy, slow down! What’s the hurry?”
His eyes were glued to Amelia’s belly, which was starting to show.
The thought of her saying she was going for a check–up and could see the baby made my heart ache.
Amelia shot me a glance before hurriedly pulling out some documents, “Grandpa, here’s the revised project design. I’ve made a few suggestions. Even though the data was leaked, it’s not a huge problem. The tech department intercepted most of it, so the other party can’t use the design anyway.
She shot me a furtive look, and I couldn’t help but smirk
It seemed the instigator had been found. Amelia would never admit to wrongdoing unless she was caught red–handed.
But she hadn’t yet learned how to act. She was the person responsible, but she didn’t know how to hide it
Mr. Harmon Senior seemed oblivious to his future granddaughter–in–law’s motives and sighed heavily.
“You, with a baby on the way, still have to work overtime cleaning up other people’s messes. Leonard must have done something terrible to end up marrying someone like you. He’s not worthy of you”
The implication was clear–he was referring to me.
Amella rolled her eyes. “It’s normal to encounter the wrong people sometimes. If such critical project data could be leaked, how much easier would it be for modified data to slip through?”
