Chapter 238 Turn Yourself In

"What did you say?" For a moment, I wondered if I heard Leonard wrong, as his remark was ludicrous.

Leonard seemed a little sorry, but something crossed his mind, and he put on a steely look. " Eva, as the design director, you have been monitoring some of the projects from a year or two ago. "You're the sole director of the design department. As such, you should take the blame for anything that happens within the department."

He clenched his fist with teary eyes, as though he was reluctant to make such a heartless.

statement.

I laughed out loud. "Leonard, do you hear yourself? Do you want me in jail or want me dead?"

The sudden redesign caused the overpass project to be put on halt, and might even lead to other problems.

If I was named as the person in charge, I would definitely be sued and put in jail for the mistake.

How could Leonard go to such lengths to protect Amelia?

He licked his lips and rasped, "I'm sorry, Eva, but you're the only one at the level to take the responsibility. I can't have Harmon Group get into trouble."

"And you'd rather I get into trouble?" I was dumbfounded by his reasoning. He was the one who got Harmon Group into trouble in the first place.

Leonard was angered at my attitude. His eyes were ablaze. "After years of enjoying a pampered life from marrying me, it's time you make some sacrifices for the Harmon family, not to mention you were the person in charge of the design department in the first place..."

"A pampered life?" I cut him off irritatedly. "Are you talking about the life where I even needed your approval on my outfits? Do you think I lived an easy life just because you sent your assistant to hold my closet doors open? No, thanks. I'll willingly give up that life to Amelia."

Tadded, "Why didn't you think of this when you handed over my tasks to Amelia? Besides, I'm no longer the person in charge of the projects! It was stated clearly in the handover documents."

Earlier, I made sure to complete the handover process, just because I didn't want to be implicated if Amelia got herself into trouble.

They left a paper trail from work correspondence. The emails and many documents were personally signed by Leonard and Amelia themselves.

They could never make me the scapegoat.

Suddenly, Leonard shot me a sheepish look before rushing out of the room. Before he left, he said to me, "You'd better turn yourself in."

I was baffled at his logic. Why would I turn myself in when I was not in the wrong?

Jill found me fuming when she arrived. She asked, "Hey, I ran into Leonard just now. Was he here to visit you?"

"He wanted me to take the blame for his lover and go to jail." I told Jill everything. I was in dire need of venting my frustrations and having someone on my side.

Jill, who was always hot-tempered, stared at me with a calm frown instead.

"Where are the handover-related documents?"

"They're kept in a drawer at home. Why the question?"

"Whose home is that?"

"Mine..." A thought suddenly struck me. My head snapped up, and I saw panic in her eyes, just like what I felt.Text © owned by .

I quickly got out of bed, having no time to put on my socks. Jill held me. "Hey, don't fret. Leonard and Amelia might not have thought about that just yet.

I shook my head hard. They must have realized the whereabouts of those documents. He must have made a move, as he warned me to turn myself in. As I was still rather frail after taking the medicine, I had to lean against Jill on my trip back

home.

When I arrived at home and opened the doors, my jaw dropped at the sight that greeted me.
