Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Divorce Lawsuit

Leonard's words hurt me. After years of being together, Leonard knew what Leared about. Because of that, he didn't hold back with his words.

I tried my best to keep my eyes wide open and not shed a single tear. I didn't want to be teary-eyed, especially in front of Leonard and Lily, I didn't want to seem vulnerable. In the end, I simply nodded and left the office Leonard was right, I was not in charge of Harmon Group, and I couldn't represent it either. Everyone knew it was not respected as Mrs. Harmon. I could only make behalf of myself.

promises on

But I had to be responsible for what happened. I had to explain myself to Zachary, When I arrived at the Sawyer Group, Zachary threw his mug at me. The mug shattered into pieces as it crashed into the wall. 1. he. Do you

"Eva, you cannot do this to me! Did you know that because of the Harmon Group's projects, 1 had to make adjustments to our production schedule? You're tricking me. D want this partnership to fall through?

I couldn't explain myself Harmon Group had rendered the project to Hatchworks, which meant they could no longer collaborate with Zachary

Tapologised repeatedly, trying to pacity Zachary's anger. But he was furious, Zachary got up and pushed me, asking me to leave.

Suddenly, I felt something flow out of my nose. Then, I saw Zachary's look of horror.

"Eva! Mrs. Green! Eva!"

I wiped my nose and sour blood. I paused

Zachary shouted, "Call the ambulance! Hurry!"

I wanted to assure him that it wasn't serious. It was probably the side effects of the injection. But before could say a word, collapsed.

Still slightly conscious, could feel several people carrying me into the ambulance. I could hear

footsteps around me, and people kept calling out my name.

When I regained full consciousness, the sky had turned dark. Zachary and his wife were seated by my bed. When they saw that I had woken up, they quickly came close to me. "Ms. Grem, are you okay? Do you feel any discount?" Zachary's wife, Deidre, seemed like a kind person she was worried about me.

I shook my head and said, "I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Sawyer. The partnership tell through, and I gave you quite the scare."

"It's fine, it's fine I know it's not your fault's tough on you too."

Zachary waved his hand, but could tell that he was upset. After all, anyone would be mad to have lost out on such a major project. It was more than just suffering losses Deidre poured me a glass of water and glared at Zachary

"Ms. Green, Dr. Price told us that you were experiencing side effects from the injection, but he didn't tell me what the injection was. Zachary called Mr. Harmon, but his secretary said he was busy"

Deidre gave me an uneasy look, and I immediately understood what she met tt had been hours, and Leonard still hadn't shown up. I guess he was never going to come. Chances were that Lily never told Leonard about him, or he simply refused to hit me. I shook my head phone. "Sawyer, actually I didn't visit just to apologize. I wanted to make it up to you."

[owded Zachary the contact numbers of the managers at several companies that I had collaborated with in the past.

"These people currently have projects that would require materials. I've spoken to them, and they are willing to work with you.

"know the fault is on Harmon Group, and apologizing wouldn't solve the problem. You will have to go through the trouble of negotiating with them."

When Zachary saw my text, he couldn't help but smile. Then, he sighed "Why do this, Ms. Green?"

I smiled, not knowing how to explain myself. They were aware of my situation, hence they had been addressing me as "Ms. Green", not "Mrs. Harmon",

Later, Patrick confirmed that thad collapsed because of the side effects of the injection. It was nothing too serious. The Sayers insisted on sending me home, but I turned them downL

I didn't mind showing my vulnerable side for work, but I didn't want people to always treat me with sympathy,

When I returned to my neighborhood, it felt suffocating if possible, I wished to never return to this place. I wondered if I should start planning my departure.

Opening the door, I noticed the living room felt chilly when I saw a dark tigresting on the couch, 1 picked up the vinse out of reflex

*Do you not recognize me anymore Leonard approached me and turned on the lights.

Narrowing my eyes, I finally could see Leonard's furious expression. Hot ignored him and proceeded to take off my shors.

Suddenly, Leonard grabbed me by my wrist and pushed me against the wall "Why didn't you pick up your phone? what are you trying to do?

"Don't you care about work? Did you know that because you weren't at work, so many things were delayed? Can you be responsible for that

Leonard seemed really angry, and his grip continued to lighten around me. It felt like my wrist was going to break. I groaned in pain, and 1 glaced at Leonard

"If you berak my wrist, it's considered second-degree aggravated assault, right? I can file a dhorce laws against you for domestic abuse. Have you decided on how much money you'r going to give me
