Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 165

Chapter 165 An Additional Condition

The Harmon Group and the Green family's collaboration was just around the corner, and my family had no source of funding anymore. They urgently needed a business partner.

What was more, there was no other entity that could provide this kind of funding and provide a team of designers in Melgrove. Even if there were, the other companies would definitely have second thoughts about collaborating with a scumbag like Keenan. Any company that collaborated had either shut down or suffered losses in the past. Everyone

was scared of him.

Keenan was too domineering, and that was a surefire way to run a business to the ground. Dad said so for a long time. However, Keenan didn't change his ways. He even accused Dad of being irresolute and hesitant.

Not only was Keenan broke now, but he also couldn't replace anyone to collaborate with him. If I hadn't stepped forward with the proposal, he likely would've sold Alisa off to someone else. He was no longer cocky when we negotiated, and he kept telling me the advantages of his project.

In fact, the project had significant advantages. The government supported and funded it, and the necessary approval materials were provided too.

Under normal circumstances, everybody would've fought each other to secure the project. It was just that it would be hard to modify it. Without Max around, the design department under the Green family was incompetent.

Everyone was interested in giving this project a try, but none of them wanted to bear the responsibility. Not only was Harmon Group funding it, but it also had to bear the risks. Naturally, Leonard had to argue his case. After several negotiations, Leonard managed to get the upper hand.

"We're all family, Mr. Harmon. Do you have to be so meticulous and unforgiving?" Keenan probably hadn't been at a disadvantage for a long time. His patience had come to an end.

Leonard leisurely drank his tea. "You have to be clear and impartial when it comes to business, even if you are working with your own family. Don't you understand that, Mr. Green?

"Moreover, you are only related to me because Eva is my wife. You're not family to me. It's better to draw our lines clearly." Leonard's response made Keenan angrier, but Keenan could do nothing but shove his rage deep down. Alisa was probably right when she said Jasper couldn't hold out much longer. Eventually, Keenan agreed to sign an unequal agreement with Leonard.

Just as they were about to sign on the paper, Leopard spoke again, "I have another condition,

and it doesn't have to be added to the contract. All I ask is a promise from you, Mr. Green."

Keenan strained to respond, "What is it?"

"I want Alisa to take

e over the project, and I'll only liaise with her. If you swap out to another project leader, I will call off the collaboration." Leonard held the pen and gave Alisa a deliberate look.

Alisa was eating macarons, and she giggled awkwardly before she looked at Keenan again. " Didn't you say I needed some practice in the real world, Dad? Won't it be nice if I do that with Mr. Harmon? Moreover, he wants me and only me." Alisa even raised her eyebrows tauntingly after she said what she said. I pursed my lips and lowered my gaze. It's a shame that she didn't become an actress.

This time, however, Keenan didn't agree to it directly. Instead, he hesitated. "I'm worried you can't handle such a big project, Lisa. After all, you're inexperienced."

"I've got the team to back me up. Even if I don't have the necessary experience, I'll just liaise with Leonard, and that will do." Alisa waved dismissively and continued eating her macaron. She even looked at Leonard and licked her lips..

I saw Leonard clutching his fists. He gnashed his teeth so hard that he was about to crush them. I immediately coughed to prevent myself from laughing.

As expected, the one with the strongest will would win in the battle of wits. Naturally, Keenan agreed to Leonard's suggestion. He left me in the company's design department to continue making some adjustments to the design. Meanwhile, he let Leonard and Alisa inspect the project site.

It might've seemed like Alisa separated me and Leonard, but it was just what I wanted.

When I went to the design department, I saw numerous old folks.

"Hi, everyone. I am Harmon Group's Design Director. My name's Eva Green. I'll be counting on all of you in the future."
