Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462 We’re Remarrying 

Instead of giving Leonard the time to keep monitoring me, it would’ve been better to occupy him with something. 

Meanwhile, Luca seemed to have predicted that I would agree to work with him because he immediately started delegating tasks. 

“I have a trick or two to make him lose his composure in the company for the time being. Then, he’ll surely use the remarriage to attract the public opinion to his side. However, I’ll need you to stall him for a while. There’s a lot of stuff I have to wrap up on at my side. We can’t afford to be hasty now. “Don’t worry, I’ll get everything done for your identity overseas.” 

I thought this was the first time I had heard Luca speaking in such a proper manner. For a moment there, I couldn’t quite get used to it. After I hung up the phone, I felt a little worried Initially, I didn’t think laca was a threat to Leonard. However, I underestimated him. 

In less than a month, several of Leonard’s projects continuously faced issues. The board of directors also put a lot of pressure on him. 

I was aware that Mr. Harmon Senior was watching their competition from the sidelines, Leonard must’ve been at a disadvantage. Meanwhile, Emma did her role as my little spy and reported the company’s situation to me from time to time. 

“Luca is really deceitful. He bribed one of Leonard’s most trusted subordinates and swapped out a lot of contracts. The collaborators are upset, and they want Leonard to pay the compensation. His reputation is all but ruined. 

“The design department is starting to work overtime again. I’m worried that I’m going to drop dead on my work desk.” 

Emma grumbled to me every single day, which made me wonder if Harmon Group was really in a bad state now. 

With that said, with Leonard starting to get busy, he stopped looking for me. I was able to talor a breather in the past month, and it also gave me a chance to work on my escape plan. 

Today, I had just finished calling Crystal when Leonard opened the door out of nowhere. My bodyguards wanted to stop him, but I waved at them. 

“Let him in. He probably came here for a reason.” And I had just the idea of why he was looking for me. Leonard had lost several projects in the past month. He would surely feel frustrated. 

He pulled out a share transfer agreement and said, “I’m giving you 1% of the company’s shares. I want you to remarry me, Eva. Don’t worry, I just need to use our remarriage to suppress the dumpster fire that’s going on right now. I won’t intervene in your personal freedom.” 

Leonard put the agreement on the hospital bed and stuffed a pen into my hand. I lifted the pen and looked at it. Then, I put it aside. 

“I rejected your grandfather when he offered me 3% of the company’s shares back then. What makes you think you can bribe me with your offer? More to the point, what good is money to me right now?” 

1 raised my hand, which was hooked up to an IV drip. It was so full of puncture marks that there was almost no more space for the nurses to insert an IV needle. I was in bad shape. If I lived to see another day, great. If I died, then I would be okay with it too. 

Leonard had been keeping an eye on my situation. Naturally, he knew about it as well. He looked at me and licked his lips, but he didn’t say anything for a long time. 

1 finally learned about the reason Leonard was here when Alisa gave me a call. 

“Leonard’s going to look for you, Eva Don’t tell him anything under any circumstances. That son of a bitch suspended several projects with Green Group. I need to make a trip to Melgrove. Apparently, they ran into some issues with funding.” 

“When did this happen?” My voice grew deeper, and any eyes were laced with malice when I looked at Leonard. 

He was just using the same, old trick all over again. Well, it was worlding.
