Chapter 244 I Want a Divorce
I stood where I was while looking at Leonard. There was something odd swirling in his eyes, as though he still looked confused.
Amelia moved to stand before him, thus effectively blocking his eyes out. Hence, I no longer
looked at him.
More than ten minutes had passed before Leonard finally regained his senses. His expression became icy as well.
"Leo, are you feeling alright now?"
Amelia massaged Leonard's temples carefully for him. It seemed that Leonard didn't mind her
actions at all.
I looked away and was about to leave when Amelia said, "Honestly speaking, a divorce is the best solution in this situation. If Eva is neither Mrs. Harmon nor an employee working for Harmon Group, her actions will have nothing to do with the company. That way, the company. won't be affected anymore.
"This is a win-win situation for us. Leo, now that Harmon Group is in big trouble, we should really come up with a good solution to resolve it once and for all."
When Amelia said those things, she kept shooting taunting looks at me with a smile on her face. She seemed to have forgotten that she was the reason why Harmon Group was stuck in such deep shit in the first place.
The sight of Leonard nodding obediently at Amelia's words made me laugh out loud.
"My actions have nothing to do with the company, you say? So, in the end, you're still planning to pin the blame on me?"
Amelia was about to say something when I stopped her. "There's no need to explain yourself. Everyone here knows exactly what the truth is.
"I can always get a divorce, but I don't mind dragging all of you down with me if you dare pin the blame on me."
"Eva Green!" Mr. Harmon Senior glared at me in dissatisfaction.
Amelia chose to keep quiet now that someone had spoken up for her.
I looked at Mr. Harmon Senior, my eyes betraying none of my emotions.
"Mr. Harmon Senior, so what if Amelia has destroyed all of the handover documents? What about the digital traces? What about the witnesses who were there during the handover?
"I've already informed Brightwave Group about the truth. The people involved in the handover process were also present as well. Don't tell me the Harmons think they're powerful Chappi 244 I Want a Divorce
enough to overwrite the truth permanently."
Those words were meant for Leonard's ears. Since he wanted to protect Amelia, he'd definitely force everyone present to keep quiet about the truth.
But the thing was, Harmon Group's employees weren't the only ones there. Many of the employees from other companies were there as well.
I had been emailing all parties in order to prevent Amelia from stirring up trouble. Many of the digital documents that had the company's seal were emailed to the employees of Harmon Group as well.
Did the Harmons seriously think that the police were useless?
Obviously, Amelia thought of that possibility as well. Her expression began to crumble.
"You want to drag us down with you? As if you can do that!"
"Of course I can." I looked down at Amelia. "We've been classmates for four years back in our university days, Amelia. Don't tell me you've forgotten what
type of
person I am.
I might seem like a mild-tempered woman, but I'd never show mercy when it was time to show my brutal and violent side.
Amelia visibly shuddered. She seemed to have recalled something.
Leonard and I had just started dating during my sophomore year. That was when Amelia got bullied by the students from other courses.
I was the one who found the surveillance footage of the security camera installed at the corner leading into the alley. I had also tracked down the witnesses and collected evidence on the perpetrators' acts of coercion toward other students who were struggling financially. Also, I was able to track down the students who were bullied by the perpetrators and convinced them to give their testimonies to the police.
If I recalled correctly, the mastermind of the whole bullying incident was still serving her prison sentence right now.
"Are you threatening us, Eva?" Leonard quickly pulled Amelia into his arms, his heart already aching for her. He kept glaring at me angrily as well.
At that moment, I realized that reality wasn't that bitter of a pill to swallow. So what if Leonard didn't love me? Why would it matter to me?
I just shrugged. "You're the ones who forced my hand first."
Amelia regained her courage, seeing as Leonard was openly supporting her.
"We can save the company just by sacrificing you! Why are you so selfish, Eva?"
"Shut up!" Not even Mr. Harmon Senior could stomach such shamelessness coming from Amelia.
After that, Amelia dared not utter another word. She could only glare at me resentfully.
Mr. Harmon Senior sighed. "What's your opinion on this matter, Leonard?"
Leonard's eyes glimmered in return. But he was quick to make up his mind when he felt Amelia nuzzling her head against his chest. "I want a divorce!!!
