Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 432

Chapter 432 The Most Wicked

Julian left with Alisa, and he even lifted his chin at me before he left. I knew something terrible had happened, but both of them weren't telling me. Jill opened the door sleepily. She walked over with a yawn, saying, "Seriously? It's just 7:00 am. What are they doing, waking up so early?" Then, my phone buzzed as well. I hurriedly picked up the call when I saw that it was Crystal.

"Are

you at Alisa's place, Eva? Can you come over to the company?" She sounded a little anxious.

I asked hurriedly, "What's the matter?"

"Some projects ran into issues, and there are people investigating them. They want us to get the materials ready beforehand. Can you drop by for a minute, I'm a little unsure of myself."

This was the first time Crystal was this upset. I couldn't help but get worried as well.

Eva?

I had only signed all the projects in the company for the past few months, and I hadn't participated in the designs. If something happened to the company, I had to go back and deal with it because I was the person in charge.

"Should we go, Eva? I haven't packed up my stuff yet. So, we're good to go any second. As for here... You don't have to worry about Julian. He has the mettle to pull through any situation. After all, he's the most wicked and scheming man I know." Jill held my hand.

I mulled it over for a brief moment and shook my head eventually. Basically, I knew the situation my company was in quite well. It could weather an auditing. All of my staff were fresh graduates, and they followed the rules to the letter. More to the point, Crystal was there, watching them.

"I want to swing by Green Group and check on them. I think something's not right." If I worked on both issues, I would only exhaust myself. I had to resolve the issues revolving around Alisa before I could feel better.

However, Green Group had fallen into a state of disarray. Jasper led a group of people and had them surrounding the entrance, blocking anyone from going in. "This is my company. Alisa maliciously set me and my dad up before wrestling the company for her own. Such a thing mustn't be tolerated. I have to restore justice!

Jasper screamed hysterically and seemed to be reading from a script. From time to time, he would lower his head and look at something.

Jill stood next to me and gulped. "This is kind of scary. Does he think he's filming a television drama?"

I shook my head. I knew what game Jasper was playing when I saw the people around him broadcasting the situation. He was playing the public opinion angle, and it was a proven method. Jasper didn't have to invest too many resources. At the same time, he'd be able to see the results very soon. He could destroy a company and bring down a person in no time.

When the security guards came out, some of them even made a ruckus. In the end, it took the police to appease them.

When I walked into the company, Alisa was sitting on the couch in her office, looking dejected. Julian was holding her, but both of them were quiet.

I opened the door and went inside to pick up the documents from the floor. Most of them were regarding violations of the project contracts. I knew what this entailed.

The company's funds couldn't be recovered, and they had potential lawsuits on their hands. Once the company's funds were frozen, Green Group would be completely ruined even if they won in court. I heard footsteps, and Alisa raised her to look at me.

"Eva, what are you doing here? You should be resting at home." She quickly wiped tears from her eyes and helped me take a seat.

I waved the files in my hand. "Did Leonard do this?"

Alisa closed her eyes and didn't say anything. The silence in the office was downright terrifying.

I took a deep breath and said, "I'm going outside to get some fresh air."

"I'll go with you!" Jill shot to her feet, but I waved and signaled for her to stay. I really had to get some fresh air by myself.

Then, my phone rang again. It was a call from the phone in Leonard's office. I closed my eyes gently and answered it. "What on earth do you think you're doing?"
