Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) -
Chapter 385
Chapter 385 See Each Other Less
When Leonard came in, he saw Jack gazing at me softly along and my blushing face. His expression immediately hardened, and the words he wanted to say stayed on the tip of his tongue. In the end, he repeated, "Eva, may I come in?"
Seeing me nod, he sighed in relief. But his gaze lingered on Jack for a while. I was all too familiar with that kind of look.
Back in university, he would do this whenever someone tried to pursue me. However, our relationship was different now.
"Have you just returned to the country? What brings you here?"
I noticed his suitcase at the door earlier, and his clothes seemed wrinkled.
Leonard nodded, a bit dejected. "Yeah, I came over after getting off the plane. How did your surgery go?"
"Good. I'm
nline now."
I looked down, not wanting to look at him. Perhaps my brain was affected during the surgery. The image of him holding Amelia's and his child kept appearing in my mind.
Seeing that we were both silent, Jack took the milk from my hands. "Mr. Harmon, Eva needs to rest."
I was glad that Jack said that as I didn't want to talk about anything personal with Leonard. I followed Jack's cue and pretended to lie down
"I know. I'm sorry. I know she got injured because of the company's issues." Leonard no longer looked upset. Instead, he seemed more like a businessman now
"Mr. McLennan, I do have something important to discuss with Eva. Could you step out for a moment?"
"No." Jack remained expressionless as he handed me a wet wipe.
I could feel Leonard getting angry again. It was obvious he disliked Jack being around me, but he seemed to have forgotten that we were divorced now. "It's fine. Jack knows about this matter as well, so you can say it" Since we were going for a professional approach, I could act like a businesswoman too.
Leonard didn't expect that Jack and I were this close. It took him some time to process my words before nodding
"You weren't the person in charge of the Rainstream Heights project. I'll provide evidence to the police for this.
"But part of the company's materials was burned, and another part was infected by a virus. It might be difficult to retrieve them. Do you have any suspects? Or has anyone approached you?" "Luca"
This didn't even need to be said. Luca was the primary suspect.
Leonard nodded. "I think so too. He's been quite active lately. He's probably about to take action."
I wasn't really familiar with the internal power struggle within Harmon Group. Back when I worked at the company, I was only in the design department. Whatever disputes Leonard and Luca had didn't concern me anymore, but Caleb... After giving it a thought, I decided to voice my suspicions, "I suspect Caleb is involved as well, but I don't have any evidence. It's up to you whether you want to investigate him."
Not everyone would believe me unconditionally, especially now that we were divorced.
Sure enough, Leonard refuted, "Caleb? That's impossible!"
To be honest, I also didn't believe Caleb would be that kind of person, so I said nothing more
The initially si
Jack let out a chuckle, causing Leonard to glare at him in great displeasure. Leonard then looked at me. "Alright, I'll investigate him. You..!
He frowned slightly and added, "Get sor
some rest. I'll visit you again."
