Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 414

Chapter 414 Amelia's Mom

"You deceived Leonard back then. You might've been ill, but he almost lost his life because of you! He might've mistaken Amelia for you, but that was also because of your initial deception. You can't just blame him for it! "More to the point, he helped you to look after your mom and tracked down the person who killed your father. You have to remarry him."

Mr. Harmon Senior got more agitated with every word he spoke. His voice was so loud that it hurt my ear.

Honestly, I didn't expect him to spout this many twisted truths and fancy lies. Of course, it was possible that these were his unadulterated thoughts. That could be why he sounded so self-righteous.

In fact, what Mr. Harmon Senior said was mostly on point. However, I hadn't always been the one who reaped the benefits.

"I'll admit that I have my faults, Mr. Harmon Senior, and I do owe Leonard.

"I've been in the company for so many years, yet I've never received any money for project design bonuses or patent applications. It was simply because I was his wife. If you count that in, you'll replace that I've saved the company a lot of money.

"I also did my best to help Leonard. At this point, it's difficult to say who owes whom more. Wouldn't you agree?"

I sighed gently. "Why would you talk about moral principles with someone who's at death's door? I'm sorry, but I don't adhere to them, and you won't be able to guilt-trip me."

I hung up the phone and blocked the Harmon residence's phone number as well. As expected, birds of a feather flocked together.

Leonard was who he was today because of Mr. Harmon Senior. Once he learned these unethical skills, he wouldn't see anything wrong with sacrificing someone's entire life if it meant advancing the company.

Later, Mr. Harmon Senior had everyone in Harmon Group contact me one by one. However, I turned each of them down.

It couldn't be denied that Harmon Group's reputation was in a precarious situation. Public opinion on the internet had such a massive effect on the company that their share price kept falling. It was no wonder Mr. Harmon Senior thought of such a despicable move. With that said, it didn't really concem me. I treated the whole thing as a joke. Amelia was right when she said that one would succumb to a terrible fate eventually when all one did was morally questionable deeds.

Today, there was a woman at the door with a basket of fruit in her hand. She said she was here to check on me. Nina had just led me back to my ward when we bumped into that lady.

"Are you okay after what happened that day, Ms. Green? I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I would drop by."

I had to stare at her face for a long time before I recalled that she was the lady who supported me in the restroom that day.

"I should've been the one who came to you with gifts and thanks, ma'am. What are you doing here? Also, how do you know that this is my ward?" I looked at her curiously, feeling somewhat suspicious of her. There were a lot of security guards in the VIP ward. She must've put some serious effort into replaceing where I stayed.

The woman stuffed the basket of fruit in Nina's hand and rubbed her hands awkwardly. "Don't you remember me, Eva?"

I shook my head in response.

"I'm Amelia's mom. Have you forgotten about me? We met back when you were still a college student."

Nina immediately stood in front of me when she heard the woman mention Amelia's name.

"Excuse me, but Ms. Green needs to get her rest. Please get out of the way." Nina put the basket of fruit on the floor and pulled me away from Amelia's mom as far as she could.

I stared at the woman for a long time before I recalled that I had actually met her. Back then, Mrs. Miller asked Amelia for money and persuaded her to quit college. That way, she could save the money for her son. I felt nothing but repulsed when I looked at her face.

However, it was obvious that Mrs. Miller didn't intend to leave. On the contrary, she took a step forward and said, "I'm aware that Amelia has pissed you off, Eva. She had no right to intervene in your marriage life. "The thing about me is that I've strongly detested homewreckers my whole life. They're downright shameless."

Mrs. Miller wasn't troubled in the least when she berated Amelia. It almost sounded like I was her daughter and Amelia was the homewrecker who stole her daughter's husband.

"Bitches like her should die a horrible death. Don't worry, Eva. I'm on your side, and you have my full support to remarry Leonard."
