Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) -
Chapter 243
Chapter 243 Where's Your Ring
"Caleb, those who take the liberty to change the designs of important projects will be sentenced to prison no matter what."
Mr. Harmon Senior might be speaking with Caleb right now, but he kept staring at me the
whole time.
"Eva is the design director. Her signature is present on all of the projects' documents. Isn't that right, Eva?"
"But-" Caleb wanted to refute Mr. Harmon Senior, but I quickly stopped him.
"Caleb, thank you for defending me, but your suggestion won't work."
Then, I turned back to Mr. Harmon Senior. "I'm willing to get a divorce with Leonard, and I can always return the shares to you. There's no need to give me any of the joint assets."
I had already come up with this solution when I was making my way here.
Leonard wanted Amelia to extract herself out of this mess safe and sound, but I refused to become the scapegoat. Then, he'd have to play that role.
But if I were to leave the company and get a divorce from Leonard, I'd be able to attract some of the attention. People would wonder if anything had happened behind closed doors. Some of them might think that our marriage was ruined by a homewrecker. Others might speculate that Leonard's first love was back to stake claim on him.
Honestly, conspiracy theories like those could easily start online discussions, which would go viral on the Internet.
Once that happened, Harmon Group could take its time to negotiate the conditions regarding the compensation. That was where my shares would come in handy.
All Luca wanted was to reduce the amount of shares in Leonard's hands. As Leonard's wife, the fact that I had shares meant that I was supporting him as well.
Now that my shares were gone, Luca wouldn't target Leonard that much in the future.
Besides, once the divorce was finalized, Mr. Harmon Senior would be able to resolve the incident very easily. It was just that he didn't want to get involved right now.
As expected, Mr. Harmon Senior nodded at me, a knowing glint in his eyes.
"Don't worry. The Harmons will make it up to you after your divorce. You might not be able to get anything out of the company, but that doesn't mean you can't get your hands on other assets."
The sight of Mr. Harmon Senior looking so relaxed told me that he had been meaning for me and Leonard to get a divorce.

In the past, he thought that I could never help Leonard out. But he had no choice but to accept. me because Leonard insisted on marrying me.
Now that Leonard no longer wanted me, a nobody without a background, the best choice he could make right now was to divorce me.
As for Amelia...
I could hazard an educated guess on Mr. Harmon Senior's plans. He'd tell Amelia that Leonard had just gotten divorced, so there'd be tons of bad gossip surrounding him if he were to marry her right away. Then, he'd bide enough time for Leonard to slowly regain his senses. Once his mind was clear, he'd dump Amelia on the spot.
I just looked at Mr. Harmon Senior coldly. At this moment, I already got everything figured out.
"Alright. Please have the lawyer come up with the divorce agreement. I can sign it anytime."
The moment I was done speaking, Leonard and Amelia rushed back to the Harmon residence.
"Are you choosing to get a divorce now? Do you have any idea how much trouble the company is in right now? Why are you still throwing a tantrum at a time like this?" Leonard glared at me angrily.
The corner of my mouth just twitched. "Your grandfather agreed to the divorce. Since you've overheard our conversation, let's just get the divorce over with."
I chose to ignore the smile on Amelia's face as I turned to leave.
But Leonard grabbed my hand all of a sudden. He turned to look at my left hand reflexively. You want a divorce? Where's your ring?"
"Did
you forget that I sold it?" I blurted out immediately. I didn't want to trigger Leonard at a time like this-I just didn't want him to continue pestering me. "You sold it? Why?"
Leonard looked at me in confusion. Suddenly, he clutched the back of his head.
'Didn't I buy it back? Eva, where's your necklace? Necklace... GPS... Lily..." Leonard backed away from me while mumbling under his breath,
I was shocked, to say the least. I had a feeling that Leonard was starting to remember something.
Just as I was about to approach him, Amelia shoved me away immediately. She glared at me before fishing out a pill box.

"Leo, you should take your medicine first. Don't think about anything for now. Didn't you mention that you want to go to Merunyxa after our wedding? Now's the best time to get a divorce with Eva, isn't it?"
