When Leonard booked at me, there was a hint of sadness in his eye.
Inever expected the Harmon family to be like this lan valued Leonard because he was truly capable of holding up the Harmon Group. But soon, I telt at peace company this large needed someone competent to lead, or it would have crumbled long ago.
As I thought about lan’s words and the debt owed Leonard, I couldn’t help but offer some comfort. “Don’t worry, I’ll help you through this difficult time.” “w!” Leonard gripped my hand tightly, and I awkwardly patted in before gently pulling my hand away.
“Alright, let’s go home. I’m tired”
I really was tired. Given my current health, making it this far was already pushing my limits.
Leonard followed closely behind me, just like he used to back in school. But my heartfelt no ripples. My mind kept drifting back to the child in Lily’s belly.
I had no appetite. Leonard ordered some food, but after just two bloes, I set it aside.
Leonard looked at me with concern. “If you skip meals when your blood sugar is low, you’re more likely to faint.”
The fact that he remembered I was ill surprised me I smiled without saying anything
He handed me a box of stod fruit. “A kastest some inuit, okay?”
“You need to take care of your body. We both need to get healthier so we can have our own children in the future,” he said.
He looked at me with such intense sincerity that found myself at a loss for words.
I wanted to tell him that I would never bear his child. Even if I could, I wouldn’L
The words were stuck in my throat, though, and swallowed them down
“What do you plan to do about Lily’s child? Tsuddenly asked

“When the time comes, T’I do a DNA test. The technology is advanced enough now that we don’teed to wait until the baby is bor.”
“And then?“!
“If it’s not mine, I won’t acknowledge it. I will hold her accountable.
“And it it is yours!

I asked the question without any emotion. Honestly, I suspected the child was his. Lily was so determined to become Mrs. Harmon, she’d use any means necessary. Besides, Lily had been with him for quite some time. I didn’t believe they had been careful abalong.
Leonard can a hand through his hair, clearly frustrated.
“Iva, believe me, I’ve only been with her twice, and both times I was a bit drunk. L‘
He seemed at a loss for what to say.
As
He was not one to deny himself pleasure. The women who have come and gone over the years could form a beauty pageant. Who was he trying to fool? Besides, Lily always acted superior to. Leonard didn’t favorher, where would she get the nerve to do so?
Lasked again, the child is yours, what do you plan to do?”
Leonard pounded the table in frustration, then lowered his head
“Eva, if the child is mine, I’ll take good care of him.”
Twasn’t sure who this “him” referred to, but I know it wasn’t me tan had already said I couldn Task for a divorce until the child turned three. And after that?
Leonard could have another child, and I’d naturally becast aside.
I nodded experstunlessly.
His child. Of course, he should take good care of him.
Leonard looked up, his voice choking with emotion. “You know I grew up without parents, with only grandmother. Even if that child is Lily’s, I can’t bear the thought of mychild growing up withouta tany.”
“Eve, can you understand that?” he asked.
“Leonard, Tran.”

“If she were really pregnant, would Mr. Harmon still let her come to work? I think he’s fed up with her.”
I smiled but didn’t say anything, not wanting to continue the conversation.
Without Lily stirring up trouble, my work progress was much smoother.
What I never expected was Luca to intervene in the marketing department. He even tried to take control of the design department’s work.
He brazenly declared he wanted full control, especially with the collaboration with Brightwave Group.
He put on the facade of a smiling tiger, using lan as leverage against me.
Several colleagues in the design department stood up in anger, but I gestured for them to sit down.
Then, I turned to Luca. “You understand design? Great. Then, you’ll draw, and I’ll assist.”
Luca, of course, knew nothing about design. As the only Design Director, and with the design department fully united under me, there was no way he could interfere. In the end, The left with his tail in between his legs
