Chapter 210 Stop Wasting Your Time
Ever since that day, Leonard seemed like my sworn enemy. Even in company meetings, he would argue against any suggestions I made.
Amelia usually stepped in to smooth things over, which made Leonard reluctantly agree to some of my ideas just to keep the peace.
Rumors swirled around the office, suggesting that Amelia was about to get promoted.
Then came Mr. Harmon Senior's birthday party. When Amelia appeared on Leonard's arm, it felt like a slap in the face. They both wore matching blue outfits.
Amelia was no longer her usual aloof self; she introduced herself warmly to everyone. But she only mentioned that she was the senior secretary at Harmon Group, leaving the rest unsaid. Still, everyone started to speculate. www
Mr. Harmon Senior saw Leonard smiling and seemed to approve of this absurdity too.
"Amy, thank you for taking care of him all this time."
The old man raised his glass to Amelia. Just as she clinked her glass, Leonard snatched it away. "Grandpa, she's not feeling well lately. Let me drink for her."
"Then you shouldn't drink either; you're not fully recovered yet." Mr. Harmon Senior shot him a glare and took back his glass. He then ordered the waiter to pour Amelia some juice.
Amelia kept a faint smile on her face. When her gaze fell on me, she quickly looked away, avoiding any eye contact.
I felt a wave of discomfort wash over me, and I started to gag. Maybe it was the pregnancy; I couldn't seem to control my nausea lately.
Julian was still working on my test results, and in a couple of days, we'd know when the surgery could be scheduled.
Maybe I was being too loud because a lot of people started looking over.
Leah quickly rushed to my side. "Eva, did you eat something bad?"

"What else? Could it be that she's pregnant?" Ivy shot me a glare, raising her voice for everyone to hear.
"She's not even living with Leonard. Pregnant with what?" Ivy scoffed, "And after all these years of not getting pregnant, now Leonard gets a new secretary and suddenly you're pregnant?" Everyone turned their eyes on me, and I just waved it off.
I was about to say it was just a stomach issue when Amelia's voice cut through the crowd. "Eva

is pregnant. Didn't you all know?"
She walked over to me but didn't even look at me. Instead, she addressed Leonard and Mr. Harmon Senior, "The doctor has already confirmed it. The Harmon family should take good care of her."
I couldn't understand why she would say that. I thought since it had been a few days and no one had brought it up, the issue had been quietly forgotten. But with her statement, everyone was shocked. Leah gripped my arm tightly. "Eva, is what she said true?"
Ivy stood there stunned, unsure what to make of it.
Mr. Harmon Senior, on the other hand, seemed unusually pleased. "Eva, are you really..."
But he quickly realized something and his face darkened. "What's going on?"
"What do you mean 'what's going on? The kid isn't mine," Leonard snapped impatiently as he walked over and grabbed Amelia's hand.
Amelia lowered her head, letting him pull her along and stand behind him. At that moment, something flickered in my mind, but I couldn't grasp it.
Leonard glared at me coldly, his voice sharp. "Eva, you're so manipulative. You think by making a scene in front of everyone, I'll admit something? thar z
