Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 409

Chapter 409 Twiddling His Thumbs

From this point on, I stopped answering Leonard's calls. I even blocked his number. This was something I had never done in the past, not even when we bickered as a couple. At this moment, I was truly done with him. Leonard and I used to have beautiful memories and I didn't want them to be marred. I also

deliberately stopped myself from being concerned about Harmon Group.

In fact, it wasn't that hard to imagine the outcome for Harmon Group. Luca would surely seize this opportunity to undermine Leonard. After all, he didn't have this much authority in the past. So, a huge chunk of this mess didn't even concern him.

Luca was the successor who hadn't made any mistakes. Naturally, he was the far better choice when he was compared to Leonard, a successor who had messed up one too many times.

Mr. Harmon Senior had only ever cared about himself. At a time like this, he cared more about the person who brought more value to the table. Grandson or not, it didn't matter to him.

I didn't get to talk about Harmon Group until Jill paid me a visit.

"You have no idea just how big of a mess the Harmon family is in right now. Caleb doesn't even have the guts to return to Pyrosia."

"Huh? This mess doesn't really have anything to do with him, though." I couldn't understand,

1. it.

After all, Caleb was still an employee of Harmon Group. How could he stay away for this long? If he wasn't coming back, then he had to go through the proper procedures at least. With that said, the Harmon family was in such a huge mess that no one probably thought of him.

Jill shook her head. "You might not know it, but the board of directors wants to fire Leonard for landing Harmon Group in hot water. In any case, it's not like Luca is a decent man. Meanwhile, Mr. Harmon Senior is twiddling his thumb and doing nothing. If you ask me, they're going to make their choices on the company's successor soon.

"Leonard doesn't have any shares to begin with. Now, he's at a bigger disadvantage."

I lowered my gaze and looked at the apple in my hands, not saying a word. However, I was very sure that Leonard wouldn't let the others have their way with him. He was capable of pulling it off, and he certainly had the ambition to do it.

"What about Caleb? Is he just going to stay overseas?" I looked at Jill and saw that she was a little dejected.

"His mom advised him not to come back here. It seems like they're waiting to see how the

situation will develop. Naturally, he wants to support Leonard, but you know how it is with the internal feuds in this sort of family. It's not that straightforward."

I nodded in silence.

Caleb might take Leonard's side, but what was going to happen to him if Luca won?

Darius and his family had never competed with anyone in the Harmon family. All they ever did was let Caleb work in Harmon Group. The future of his career depended on whose side he picked.

After Jill left, I didn't concern myself with Harmon Group's situation. On the other hand, catchy titles always appeared on finance and gossip news.

"Harmon Group's share price plummeted, and it might continue to drop!"

"Victims filed a joint lawsuit to sue Harmon Group for huge amounts of compensation."

I would always skip such news whenever I saw them. The contents were always the same, and I thought I knew more about the truth than the reporters.

By the time Caleb contacted me, Luca had amassed a lot of supporters from the board of directors. It was really looking like they were going to change the successor.

"You talked about an investment previously, Eva Aren't you going to revisit it again?" At first, I thought Caleb contacted me because of what had happened to the Harmon family. I didn't expect him to talk to me about the investment. I gathered that Jill had given Caleb another one million dollars, but it didn't seem to be

enough.

"I'm not doing very well, Caleb," I said hesitantly because I didn't plan on investing for the time being.

Caleb sounded a little anxious. "What about your company? Isn't Crystal managing it on your behalf with full authority? She's welcome to take a look at the investment prospects, Eva. If it's possible, then..."

I deliberately coughed heavily and said, "I'm sorry, Caleb. I really am tired."

Caleb paused briefly before asking me to take a rest. He said he'd think of something else.

After I hung up the phone, I couldn't shake the feeling that something felt strange. Why did Caleb need this much money? How was it that over ten million dollars weren't enough for him to develop a mobile game?
