Chapter 258 No One's Getting Divorced

"If you would just let her have peace of mind, her design will surely get approved. Give her another chance, Grandpa." Leonard genuinely had unwavering faith in Amelia's design skills. To be more accurate, it was my skills that gave him such strong confidence. Leonard proceeded to explain how Amelia was immensely talented and that she won several international awards. He claimed that she even handled design works for numerous overseas projects.

It had completely slipped Leonard's mind that I was the one who did these projects. If he looked into it, he'd see that I was the chief designer. It was a shame that he simply didn't check it.

"If you could just give Amelia another chance, Grandpa..."

"That's enough, Leonard!" Mr. Harmon Senior smacked his teacup on the table. "How is Amelia talented? Just look at the projects she submitted. Was any one of them satisfactory?

A good amount of our designs passed when Eva was still around. What about when we left Amelia in charge?

"I don't care who you love, but you can't let it affect the company's benefits!"

I kept my gaze lowered the whole time and stayed clear of their exchange. Mr. Harmon Senior had made it very clear. All he cared about was safeguarding the company's benefits, and he 'didn't give a damn about who the designer was.

As far as Mr. Harmon Senior was concerned, the best designer was the kind of designer who could bring profits to the company.

"That's not true, Grandpa. Eva's designs... Well, they are..." Leonard wanted to argue his case, but he was stumped all of a sudden.

What could Leonard say about my designs, anyway? My designs were mine and mine alone. He couldn't nitpick a single one of them. As far as he remembered, however, I was merely diligent, not talented.

Perhaps Leonard finally recalled, but maybe he had his own considerations. In any case, it had nothing to do with me.

"I also think Eva is more suitable for the design work, Granduncle lan. She was indeed very skilled at it." Caleb remained loyal to me and took my side. He even fought with Leonard a little over it.

Leonard shut his eyes in exhaustion. "I'm about to divorce Eva, Grandpa. There's no need to let her come back. What's more, everyone knew that she resigned because of her mistake. I don't want to stir up more trouble for the company." Chopper 258 No One's Getting Divorced exclusive content.

I nodded quietly. This was the first time Leonard said something that made sense in the entire time. Divorce was the best outcome. It was for me, at the very least.

There were messes all over Harmon Group right now. I couldn't be bothered to care about it now. With that said, Mr. Harmon Senior didn't agree to it.

"You two can't divorce now. Just look at Harmon Group's stock price! If you divorce her, you're telling everyone that you're a disloyal playboy who caused his wife to have a miscarriage. What do you think the public opinion would look like?" "The baby in her womb wasn't mine!" Leonard was furious. He even glared at me.

I continued to wear a blank expression the whole time. I had nothing to say to Leonard when he was like this. Meanwhile, Mr. Harmon Senior was ticked off. He grabbed something on the table and smacked Leonard with it.

"I forbade you from marrying Eva back then, but you just had to do it. You even said you'd marry no one else but her. I don't care if there's something wrong with your brain or other parts of your body. You two aren't getting divorced now." Mr. Harmon Senior slowly calmed down after he had a fit.

The three of us didn't say anything. Only a fool would speak now.

Mr. Harmon Senior swept his glance across the three of us before fixing his gaze on me. "Go out, all of you. You're staying back, Eva."

Caleb had to drag Leonard out of the study, while I remained standing where I was. I had a hunch that I wasn't going to like what Mr. Harmon Senior was about to say.

As expected, Mr. Harmon Senior immediately spoke the moment Leonard and Caleb were out of the study.

"You two can't get divorced for the time being, Eva. Harmon Group has to secure the cross- province project."
