Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400 I’m Sorry 

I saved the recording of my conversation with Daryl, waiting for the day to serve him a fatal blow. 

It was not like I had broken the law. I couldn’t stand that he was targeting me 

I initially wanted to remind Leonard, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget about it. In the past, he managed to fight his way through the chaos in the Harmon family—it would be no different for him now. 

I suddenly felt drowsy after eating my dinner. Just then, I heard noises at the door. It was Leonard this time. 

“I only want to see her. You have no right to stop me from visiting her! Eva is not a criminal. What right do you have to lock her in there?” 

The night had fallen, and many patients in the VIP ward were about to rest for the day. I heard someone reprimanding him impatiently outside, but he kept shouting my name. 

Eventually, I got out of bed and walked toward the door. “Don’t disturb others from resting. Come in.” 

When he saw me, he looked deflated. I ignored how he felt and returned to my ward 

Leonard stood by the door of the ward for a long time. He stayed silent the entire time. 

I knew why he was here–someone needed to be accountable for the issue of the project. Harmon Group had to carry this responsibility, but who specifically was anyone’s guess. 

Luca signed off on the small project back then. By right, he should be the one to take responsibility. 

However, the problem was that those documents were gone. On the contrary, my signature was everywhere on the documents that had now appeared. “How are you, Eva?” 

“I’m still alive.” I slowly lay back down on the bed. “I’m heading to bed. What do you have to say?” 

Leonard looked sorrowful. He seemed to have a lot to say, but eventually, no words came out. After over a minute, he only spoke when he noticed I was drifting off to sleep 

“Eva, Harmon Group is not in a good state. Our share price is plummeting. Plus, the management has formed a team to investigate what happened with the project. They’re determined to get to the bottom of it ” 

I nodded. I had expected this to happen, so it was no surprise to me. 

He licked his lips as he continued, “Amelia’s baby is not doing well. In fact, he hasn’t been in the best physical state.” 

He told me about the baby and Amelia. Leonard said it had been tough for them, and the baby was innocent. However, he had forgotten that I was the most innocent and pitiful person in this situation. 

I looked at him blankly, my face devoid of any expression. Honestly, I didn’t know what to feel. 

Amelia was his girlfriend, and the baby was his son. At this point, it was better for him to think only about them. 

He took so long to explain himself. Finally, he arrived at the main point. 

“I’m sorry, Eva. I can’t help you clear your name. If I do that, it’ll affect the company’s share price. You know what a handful the shareholders of Harmon Group are to deal with I can’t- 

“You can’t let an outsider like me affect you and your family’s welfare 1 understand,” I said rudely. 

not that I just need some time before I can help to clear your name. Don’t worry, I won’t let you Leonard’s emotions overtook him. He wanted to grab my hand, but I quickly retracted my hand from him. 

you suffer. Trust me.” “Leonard, you’ve said this m 

times before. It’s okay if you don’t clear my name. I trust I’ll get the justice I deserve through the law.” 

I sighed. “So, you won’t present the document copy in Mr. Harmon Senior’s hands, right?” 

Mr. Harmon Senior was still the chairman of the company. He had a copy of every important document. He should have an extra copy of the sipped documents for the project at that time. I initially wanted to talk to Lennard about this, but there was no reason to do so now 

He silently lowered his head and uttered, “I’m sorry.”
