Over the past three years, Leonard would intentionally say provocative and offensive things to me. Of course, intimidated by the agression. did the

The last thing I cemembered was turning around before falling into deep sleep. I didn't even remember what Leonard cursed at me about. Thankfully, my body was weak Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to sleep well.

The next day, Robert came to apologize to me at the office.

"Ms. Greeterribly sorry about yesterday. My friends were drunk, and they didn't mean is insult you. Please explain the situation to Mr. Harmon on our behalf. I noticed he was rather angry yesterday," Robert said politely, seemingly worried. Leonard seemed furious yesterday. It made sense that they were frightened

Leonard was known to have many sugar babies, but I was still his wife. People said that Leaned only did that because I hurt him and that Leonard actually loved me deeply. But Leonard had hect me for years too. I wondered if that meant we were even Not wanting to dwell on the issues between Leonard and me, I shook my head and smiled at Robert

"You must be kidding, Mr. Wells It was my fault yesterday. Mr. Harman must've given your friend quite the seace. Please apologize to him on my behalf.

"What do you think about our collaboration?" Lasked, staring intently at best. The collaboration was my main focus.

"Since you and Mr. Harmon both case to meet me personally, we should carry on with the collaboration. But ivant non-professionals shouldn't be involved in this project

By "non-professional", Robert was referring to Leonard's sweetheart, Lily.

Perhaps it was to show me respect, but Robert said that in front of everyone in the design department. Lily heard it almost immediately.

When Leonard summoned me to his office, Lily was already in tears.

"Eva, how can you ask Mr. Wells to remove me from the team?

"You can be in charge then back out" rolled my eyes at Lily and continued, "Didn't Leonard tell you that he was there yesterday? If you have questions, you should ask him." The doctor said I had to maintain a positive mood to prevent the cancer from clapsing With chemot Thus, I decided to behave like a mad woman. If anyone provoked me, I would lash out immediately, I had no mercy for anyone who was coming between me and money either.

Lily intacted with me, so she had no idea about my temper. Lily was about to say more, but other employees in the secretariat started hinting otherwise,

"Lily, it's just one project. The Harmon Group has many other projects. Just let this one po" said Leonard Since Leonard had said that, it meant that the decision was final. reluctantly, "But I collected all the informacion-

"Te good, Lily." Leonard's tone wasn't gentle, but it definitely sounded flirtatious.

Lilyblushed. She said shyly, "Clay"

At the sight of their dispusting interaction, I couldn't help but deel nauseous. Covering my mouth with my hand, I quickly ran out of the office.

Out of reflex Leonard stood up, but Lily stopped him. When 1 returned from throwing up, Lily stopped me outside Leonard's office.

Lily said, "Mr. Harmon is on an important call relevant personnel are not allowed inside. But Mr. Harmon said you can take full charge of the Dawnstar Corporation project. Don't worry. I will back out of the team

I gazed at Lily in rprise. I hadn't expected her to give up so easily.

Lily couldn't hide her smile. She intentionally raised her voice and said, "Harmon said projects like these were bound to business meetings with company CEOs, and there is always the need to drink alcohol. He was worried that I'd be taken advantage of, so he didn't want "But these business meetings are perfect for you, Ms. Green."

Seeing Lily's smug face made me want to vomit again. Limitated her and smiled. "Yeah. After all, you'd only bring shame to the Harmon Group"

Not wanting to Eisen to blubber, I turned around and lett.

Without a blacksheep on the team, the project plan cavision w

went smoothly, but still had to conduct an on-site inspection,

With the majority of the project being completed over the past few months, it was rather challenging to make changes to the design suddenly.

When arrived on site, Robert said sternly. "Ms. Green, look over here. We will need to cut out at least 0.7 inches. Also, we will have to recalculate these materials too. How do you think we

Looking at the blueprint and the situation on-site, I felt troubled. Just as I was about to take some pictures, a group of people suddenly barged in carrying sticks and shovels in their hands. "You must give us an explanation todayTM

"That's right! The noise from the corruction is affecting our rest. You must compensate us!"

"If you don't pay up, you cannot do any construction! Nobody should move!"

I hadn't expected people to cause trouble on-site, but it seemed that Robert was used to this. He immediately told security to remove them

But wurdenly, somebody fell after getting pushed. The crowd immediately became chaotic.

"The contractors are assaulting Call the cops!"

"Marder! They're not paying, and they're going to murder

An 1 listerades the increasingly tilius claims, backed away in case the commotion affected. After all, I was too weak to be stepping up in this situation
