Chapter 257 Immensely Talented
Harmon Group wasn't doing very well. Naturally, Mr. Harmon Senior was in a foul mood as well. The place felt strange to Caleb because he kept seeing Amelia during his last few visits to the Harmon residence.
Caleb gave me a troubled look. I was vexed as well. Soon, I wouldn't be a part of the Harmon family anymore. I couldn't stick my nose into this matter.

The phone calls kept turned with a more troubled look on his face.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Granduncle lan asked me to bring you back home, Eva. He has something to discuss with you.
I felt curious and pulled out my phone. Mr. Harmon Senior didn't give me a call. Why? Then, I thought of how Caleb said the lawyer had started dividing the properties and understood. Mr. Harmon Senior didn't want to have anything to do with me. "She and Leonard are about to go through a divorce. What's there to talk about?" Zack's expression turned cold. It seemed like he didn't really want me to go, either.
"Eva." Caleb murmured, "W-What if Granduncle lan called you back to talk about the divorce agreement?"
I knew that that was impossible. Caleb merely wanted me to go back to the Harmon residence with him. Mr. Harmon Senior would have his skin if I didn't.
Eventually, I left the hospital with Caleb, feeling helpless as I did. I was feeling quite good in terms of physical health, and I didn't care about Leonard anymore. I might've had to return to the Harmon residence, but the notion didn't faze me at all. When I stepped foot into the residence, I saw Amelia once more. Judging by her gaze, she was eager to kill me right there and then.
"I'm sorry I made you come, Eva." Mr. Harmon Senior sounded more weary. He looked much older as well.
That made sense, actually. Mr. Harmon Senior would have to take the lead, now that Harmon Group was in deep trouble. Luca kept fanning flames, and all Leonard did was take Amelia's side. The company was at an impasse.
"Is the divorce agreement ready, Mr. Harmon Senior?" I directly take a pen out of my handbag. I wasn't playing nice anymore.
Mr. Harmon Senior was stunned for a second before he gave Leonard a menacing glare. "I want all of you in the study, Leonard, Eva, and Caleb."
Caleb went over nervously and held Mr. Harmon Senior by his arm. Then, he kept giving me
deliberate looks. I didn't overthink it and simply followed them. Naturally, Leonard had to come as well. However, Clay stopped Amelia from following us.
"Mr. Harmon didn't ask for your presence upstairs, Ms. Miller."
"Leo!" Amelia uttered in a pitiful voice. I didn't know that she had such a coquettish side. I didn't stop at all and went into the study first.
Leonard probably spent some time comforting Amelia because he was the last one to come in. Mr. Harmon Senior snorted coldly and grumbled in a displeased tone, "Fool!"
I wasn't sure if Mr. Harmon Senior was chastising Leonard or Amelia. Either way, what he said aptly described both of them.
"You called me here for a reason, Mr. Harmon Senior. Go ahead and tell me about it." I have nothing to say to the Harmons. So, I directly asked Mr. Harmon Senior what he wanted from
1. me.
Mr. Harmon Senior sighed and gave Leonard a vicious glare again. Then, he looked at me." Some old folks, including myself, still find that you're the more fitting person to oversee the design department, Eva."
I responded with a blank expression, "You can always hire some expert designer."
I know very well that Amelia wasn't capable enough for the job. She could handle ordinary designs, but she had neither the experience nor the ability to take on large-scale projects. That made her works to be easily rejected. What was more, Amelia wasn't someone who took kindly to criticism. Emma told me that Amelia rejected the designs Matthew and the others submitted to her.
Excellent designers weren't given a chance to shine, and Amelia couldn't come out with anything. It was a recipe for conflict. Everyone saw this debacle clear as day. Leonard was the only one who couldn't see it.
The moment Leonard heard what we said, he immediately flew into a rage. "Amelia is capable, Grandpa. You should've seen the awards she won in college. She's immensely talented in design."
