Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Replace Me

Every member of the design department in Harmon Group was picked out with extra care by the HR department. Not only were they required to have a stellar resumé, but their abilities were equally crucial to their work prowess. The most important thing was that the design department had always been united. No such drama had stemmed from this department in the past.

It was true that the designers had already obtained lucrative bonuses. But at the same time, the responsibilities they had to take on were heavy.

Everyone's profits and benefits were greatly affected thanks to Amelia's actions. She had never run a company before, which was why she never took these factors into consideration. She thought she'd become the leader of the design department as long as she had Leonard's support.

But this time, Amelia royally screwed up by evoking the ire of the entire department. She could only stand at the doorway while pointing at the designers.

"You, you, and the rest of you! Are you planning to get fired? Are you going to throw your jobs away ju

so you can stand up for your so-called justice?" so you can stand

I quickly stopped Jean and Matthew when I noticed them about to rush up to Amelia.

"Everyone, hear me out. It's fine if I leave the company, but the thing is, you still need to continue working here. You should know very well just how important your work experience in Harmon Group is to your career. Regardless of how your career path will turn out in the future, don't let certain people affect your experience here.

I was being truthful. It'd be easier for the designers to replace jobs elsewhere as long as they were equipped with their job experience in Harmon Group. Besides, Harmon Group had to be the best company in this city. The salary, benefits, and projects provided by this company were superior to the ones offered by other companies.

Once everyone heard my speech, they slowly calmed down.

Even if they desperately wanted to seek justice on my behalf, they shouldn't have a negative. impact on their own future because of my incident. They were already affected by what -happened. I didn't want to drag more innocent people into this mess. Seeing that everyone finally dropped the subject, Amelia's courage swiftly returned.

"If you want to continue working in Harmon Group, you shouldn't pull any of these stunts. I know you guys support Eva, but do you know that she'll be taking her patents with her right after her resignation?

"Without the patents, how are you going to continue working on the projects in your

department? How are you going to get more bonuses?"

Amelia had always been skilled in switching the main point of the conflict during her university days. Of course, she'd do the same thing right now.

Unfortunately for her, everyone just stared at her as though she was an idiot.

"Those are Eva's patents. Why can't she take them with her?"

"Yeah! Those are her own designs! They have nothing to do with the company!"

"Eva has already resigned! Are you still planning on making money from her designs? Wow, what a cheapskate!"

Amelia stared at the other designers, obviously not understanding what was going on.

It was true that she didn't understand a single thing. I had come up with those designs when I used to take part in competitions in the past. That, or inspiration had struck me randomly and allowed me to come up with those sketches.

The company had nothing to do with my designs. Not only that, but the design department never took part in any of my brainstorming sessions.

Amelia thought the department was the one in charge of patenting the designs. Well, she was definitely wrong.

Then again, everyone had discussed the designs and the project details during her short stint in the design department. All she did was make sure that she was the final designer on paper.

I passed the documents related to the projects to Amelia. "Have you truly forgotten that I had applied for the patents of these designs during my university days, Amelia? These designs are modified from my old designs. How are they related to the company in any way?" Amelia opted not to accept the documents. She just glared at me angrily.

"Are you bragging in front of me right now? Remember, you got fired!"

I nodded. "Well, these achievements are meant to be bragged about, aren't they? I came up with these designs during my time in university, and yet some people are still capable of screwing them up.

"Amelia, since you think you're capable enough to run the design department, then show me your true power."

I approached Amelia while holding a box of items that I had already packed. Then, I shot her a disdainful glance.

"If you really want to replace me, then you should get to my level. Let everyone know that you're the real Eva Green, who's known as a genius designer."
