Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 139

Chapter 139 Meddle in the Project

I gently touched Leonard's hand. He knew what I wanted to say instantly.

"Grandpa, we're fine. Besides, other people are managing the company too."

Mr. Harmon Senior replied, "Your family members will do the job better than your employees. After all, Luca is your cousin."

It was obvious what Mr. Harmon Senior meant-he wanted Luca to help out at the company.

I looked up and saw the smug expression on Luca's face.

"Don't worry. I'll do my best. Anyway, I've managed the company for a really long time in the past.

"Besides, I'm one of the shareholders in Harmon Group, so it's my job to manage it as well."

After hearing that, Leonard and I panicked.

Harmon Group belonged to Mr. Harmon Senior at the moment because he was the largest shareholder of the company.

Yet, Luca had shares in the company too. Was Mr. Harmon Senior forcing his grandsons to fight for the company?

Mr. Harmon Senior coughed gently. "Luca helped you two a lot. This is his reward.

"But, don't worry. Previously, I promised to give Eva 10% of the company's shares if she gave birth to a child. I have already asked my lawyers to draft an agreement. I'll give Eva 3% of the shares first because she suffered a lot this time."

"How could you do that?" Ivy asked hurriedly. However, since she realized that it seemed inappropriate, she added, "Uncle, the caveat was that she had to give birth to a child first. Why don't you wait for another three years? "When the time comes, you can give her everything all at once. Wouldn't that be better?"

Meanwhile, I knew what she was up to; Leonard and I wouldn't be able to keep our marriage for another three years, so I wouldn't be able to get anything after that.

Besides, I knew that Mr. Harmon Senior always behaved like this. He told me that I was a shareholder once I married Leonard, but he would look after the shares for me. Later on, he promised to give me the shares when I gave birth to a child.

However, he changed his mind again. So, I leaned against the couch and stared at Mr. Harmon Senior impassively.

"Since you already gave Luca some shares, won't you have to increase it for Leonard as well?

"I wouldn't mind it if I didn't have any shares. But, Leonard is the president. It wouldn't be good if others gossiped about him, right?"

Just then, Leonard squeezed my hand and motioned for me to keep quiet.

Though I knew that I would offend people at that moment, I wasn't afraid to do so.

Leonard rose to his position after working in the company for many years. How could Luca reap the benefits of his hard work instead?

In the meantime, Mr. Harmon Senior thought for a while. "Alright. I'll give you 3%, and I'll give Leonard 2% of my shares. Then, both of you will have 18% of the shares in total." Chapter 199 Meddle in the Project

"That's not possible, Uncle lan. Leonard already has a huge portion of the shares. How-"

In the end, Luca interrupted Ivy when she wanted to speak up.

"The shares belong to Grandpa; he can give them to whoever he wants.

"After all, Leonard is his grandson. I understand that. Having 2% of the shares is more than enough for me.

He smiled pleasantly, and no one could tell that he was displeased.

However, when he looked at me, I could sense other emotions behind his smile.

Luca was a man who was ruthless to his own child. Why would he be a kind person?

After Leonard and I left the Harmon residence, both of us remained silent.

The battle wasn't easy. Luca would definitely create trouble for us in the future.

When we arrived at the parking lot, both of us didn't get out of the car.

Leonard rolled down the car window. "What do you think of this situation?"

"Different situations call for different measures. He'll definitely interfere in the overpass project."

Since Luca didn't have good intentions, he'd certainly fight with Leonard.

Both of them wanted to be the heir, so they had to depend on their abilities to win.

The upper management was involved in the overpass project. As such, Luca wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

As expected, Luca entered the design department in Harmon Group the next day.

"Eva, from today onward, I'll be the leader for the overpass project. Please feel free to give me your advice."
