Chapter 82 Something Seems Off
“The Harmon family can’t have only Leonard as the successor. The amount of sleeping pills he took was significant but should not affect his health too much. However, he must have an heir. If he wakes up, I need you both to have a child within a year. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
I swallowed nervously, having already guessed what he was about to say
After three years without a child, this issue had always been a thorn in his heart.
If Leonard were to face an issue, the family’s future would be in jeopardy. I could understand the old–fashioned thinking, but with my current health, having a child seemed like an impossible dream.
Iclosed my eyes briefly “tan, I’m sorry. I can’t have children.
When I opened my eyes again, his expression showed no surprise, likely aligned with his previous suspicions.
I said in a horse voice, “I’ve discussed divorce with Leonard. I don’t want half of his assets, but he hasn’t agreed yet.“”
tan looked at me for a long moment before finally nodding.
“My dear, you’ve had a hard time. The Harmon family will not let you down. I will help you with the divorce.”
Chapter Clearing Suspicions
Born though couldn’t leave the buspital room or use my phone, 1 kors that the situation at Harmon Group mest bechastic
with Lesnardin a ropa, alatal accident on the construction site, and me being accused of murder, any one of these issues was enough to shock the public.
torty day, there were police officers stationed on talde my hospital room. If it was proven that committed the crime, I would be considered a serious criminal and would naturally
be under sirket surveillance.
When Emina and Leslie came to volt, they brought bad news.
“Luca has presented a power of attorney signed by Leonard, cloning that he is now acting as the president. He’s taken over all company matters.
“Since Leonard is still uncontelous and you’re in this situation, what can we do? He’s already started interfering with the Hit department
“rve argued with him about this, but he says you’re a murdecer. He’s threatening to take back your shares and cut all ties with you. He’s really a bastard Het tone was filled with anger, clearly indicating she had also been mistreated in recent days.
This seemed to confirmy suspicions.
Laca had been pretending to be the good elder brother, and now he was seizing power
r with Leonard in trouble. Everything was going too smoothly to be a coincidence
My suplions grew even stronger, especially after beating that the final approval for several projects in the design department was signed off by him and that all the documents were in his possession.
“at’s Irapossible. Department One and Two are stalled by bong-
-time employees. In acertain situations, no one would act recklessly”
I knew my team well. En had no foundation; it was unlikely anyone would defect to him.
Emma looked a bit disheartened “But he lud control over the key project designs and changed the systern password. I can’t even access it.”
Twas taken aback. These major projects were crocial for Harmon Group’s development over the next five years.
He had only been with the company for a few days, yet he had pinpointed the company’s financial lifelines and taken control of all the designs. He must have placed spies within
the company
But who else could it be, aside from Tom, who had already been exposed?
The face of Memphis flashed in my mind, but had no concrete evidence and could only warn Emma to be cautious around him.
“Ex, you need to stay strong. Take the medication the doctor prescribes and don’t fear the chemotherapy treatments. If something happens to you, it will truly be over. Inodded silently, and then a sudden realization struck me.
She nodded dumbly, clearly not understanding my fill meaning.
“Ew, your suspicion has been cleared. At that time, we intern doctors were on duty and stacking off They were smoking in the emergency exit when they saw you only running over after hearing the cries. The surveillance will be lifted shortly, and you are free to move about.”
Thad never wanted to be a suspect. Three were still many important matters at Harmon Group that needed my attention, and I couldn’t afford to stay in the hospital. “ww.still need you to provide some information about Lily. Please cooperate.”
