Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Whim and Fancy 

At first, I didn’t understand why Jack wouldn’t let me surf the internet. I stole a glance at the notifications from my phone and saw that he had sprung into action. 

Jack had someone expose Harmon Group for tampering with documents and setting up their own employees in the past. I was completely taken aback when I saw the evidence. I worked there once too, but I had never heard about anything like this. 

The informant directly made 50 GB worth of content public. He or she even included some files from ten years ago. Although most of the photos looked blurry, they were enough to prove that someone forged signatures and even altered documents. 

Meanwhile, some of the former designers and accountants who were messed up by Harmon Group also stepped forward to tell their stories. 

“I was falsely accused back then, but Harmon Group said they wouldn’t ask me for compensation. I was a nobody too. So, I took my lumps and kept quiet about it.” 

“Five years ago, I secured a big sales order, and the commission was merely 50 grand. However, my team leader didn’t want to pay me, and he actually framed me for something. He was the reason I had to work in another industry. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to make a living!” 

“I fought for my case back then, but they accused me of being money–minded. Eventually, I was put behind bars for three days. Now that the truth has finally surfaced, I demand Harmon Group to clear my name!” 

Harmon Group was a big company, and I certainly didn’t know every single employee. With that said, I didn’t expect that there would be a lot of such cases while I was still working in the 

company. 

When I went through the comments, I even saw some of my former colleagues. My heart sank to my stomach when Leonard’s face flashed in my mind. 

As far as I was concerned, he had always been an upstanding man who could never do something like this. However, he was also the one who had been running Harmon Group for the past couple of years. 

I didn’t dare to go down that train of thought. Were these orchestrated by Mr. Harmon Senior or Leonard? 

As expected, Harmon Group’s official account was flooded with comments. Many uninformed netizens jumped on the bandwagon, thinking the company had deceived them. At the same time, quite a number of people started leaving apologies on my Twitter account. 

I turned off my phone, refusing to see how Harmon Group would react. When Jill visited me at night, she also looked extremely exhausted.

“I’ll bet no one’s pestering you now, huh? Jack is such a class act. I can’t believe he got his hands on such confidential documents. I’ll bet he has been keeping this trump card up sleeve for a long time now. It’s clear that he has thrown caution to the wind for your sake.”

I had no idea what I could’ve said. I knew just how difficult it was to get these documents. Leonard and Mr. Harmon Senior would never have let these documents be published. 

Not only did Jack find them, but he also made them public so swiftly. He even had relevant witnesses. I thought back to what Jack had said about giving Leonard a chance, and I finally realized this was what he meant. 

Jack would’ve let Leonard off the hook if Leonard had been willing to clear my name. However, Leonard turned down his offer. So, he took matters into his own hands and cleared my name himself. 

As for my part, there weren’t enough files and documents to support my case. It was true that I didn’t have any decisive evidence. 

With that said, everyone seemed to stop doubting me when they found out that Harmon Group was prone to framing their employees. I was Leonard’s ex–wife too. It made sense that I would be set up to be the fall guy. 

“Alright, I’m taking you for your check–ups. Don’t you have a rehabilitation check–up today?” Just as Jill helped me out of my ward, she saw Daryl. 

“Eva!” He walked toward me aggressively. Seeing that, Jill immediately stood in front of me and shielded me. The next moment, two bodyguards stood in front of her. 

She glared at Daryl and said, “You might be a cop, but that doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want!” 

Daryl glared at me hatefully and didn’t look at anyone else. Then, his lips curled into a grin. Are you trying to say that I can do whatever I want if I’m not a police officer? You’re going straight to hell, Eva!”
