Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 313 The Blame Game

The moment the elevator doors closed, I felt tears pricking my eye

Deriddu'r grote poe my finger on the emotion. I had been telling myself not to love Leonard anymore. But seeing him so close to Amelia was painful.

The theght of them having a child together and living in the Hermon residence only made me feel uitfocated

Once I got back to my epartment, I buried myself under the blankets, refusing to think about anything The company was still under renovation, so I took But the next morning, I was jolted awake by a call from Mr. Harmon Senior

"Eva, where are you?"

"I'm at home," I replied, puzzled. Shouldn't he be relieved not to have me around anymore?

Leonard must have told his family about the divorce by now. Otherwise, Amelia wouldn't be so eager to prove herself as Mrs. Harmon

But Mr. Harmon Senior's voice was cold, laced with anger.

"You need to come to the Harmon residence. There's been a problem at the company."

I was confused. What could possibly go wrong at this point? The project hadn't been secured, and the other work was progressing as usual

When I arrived at the Harmen residence, I quickly realized the situation was more serious than I had anticipated. Mr. Hermon Senior was there alone, and his expression was grim

"Did you go back to the company yesterday?"

I instinctively nodded. "What's going on?

"What were you doing there?"

Under his sharp gaze, I hesitated. Should I admit I was looking for Leonard but saw him with Amelia and felt jealous?

Mr. Harmon Senior's eyes told me he wouldn't let this go easily if I didn't give him a satisfactory answer.

I cleared my throat. "I thought I should inform Leonard that a manager from Pinnacle Group might have some issues. But Amelia was also in his office, so I left"

I looked him straight in the eye, unyielding, but Mr. Harmon Senior scoffed. "Is it really that simple?" "What happened?" I was well aware that he wouldn't have called me in if there hadn't been a problem. Mr. Harmon Senior wered his hand, and Clay handed him a tablet. I glanced at the screen and saw that it was about Leonard's important project, which had t

had been put on hold due to required design modifications.

"The new design project was being handled by Ms. Carter and was nearly complete, but yesterday, some documents were leaked. The tech department intercepted part of the files-this design. What do you have to say about that?"

"It wasn't me. I was at the company for only a few minutes,"

Anyone with half a brain would know I wasn't the culprit. But evidently, Mr. Harmon Senior wasn't thinking straight at that moment

"Even a few minutes is enough time. Do you think online transmission is slow? Ms. Carter is your good friend. Getting the key would be easy for her. right?

He narrowed his eyes at me, coldness seeping f

from his gaze.

I was genuinely infuriated. If I had wanted to, I could've targeted the company more seriously. I wouldn't have wasted time on Enuma

I stared back at him, speechless. "Check the surveillance footage. I didn't do anything,

so I'm not afraid of the investigation. The design department's

system hasn't been updated. From booting the computer to accessing the design files, it'll take at least ten minutes. You can check the usage logs."

I refused to fall into the trap of proving my innocence. They had to investigate.

Mr. Harmon Senior paused for a moment but quickly regained his stoic expression

"No one wants to undermine Harmon Group except you. Harmon Group is everyone else's lifeline. Especially with the Pinnacle Group project. How do you know there's a manager with issues? Have you known from the start, or did you leak that information?" He slammed his hand on the table, but I couldn't help but laugh.

"So, because

I'm about to get a divorce, you're throwing all the blame at me, huh?"
