Chapter 426 Jasper Green

I yanked my hand away from Leonard, feeling like he was about to crush my fingers.

""Leonard, have you lost your mind?"

I had never intended to interfere with his relationship with Amelia. It had nothing to do with me, even if they weren't in love. I had loved and hated him, but I didn't want to take a child away from their parents. The child was innocent.

Amelia had implied to netizens that I wanted to steal her child, but that was never my intention. I had never been a mother, but I understood a mother's feelings. A child was everything to her. I didn't want to take that away. But I never imagined Leonard would actually be this crazy. He stood up, pacing in front of me.

"Eva, it's meant to be. We were always supposed to have a child. Now, we're both in the same boat. We only have this one son, so you don't need to worry anymore. With a child to carry on my name, we can still be together. Isn't that the best outcome?" "What about Amelia?" I struggled to keep my voice steady, wanting to remind him that the child had a mother.

But he exploded with rage at the mere mention of Amelia's name. "Don't even bring her up! I wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for her! Eva, I can't be with her. That malicious woman only pretended to be you to have this child with me. I'll never marry her. I've always loved you."

He insisted that his love was solely for me, but my heart felt completely unresponsive.

"Leonard, you're utterly shameless."

I wanted to scream at him, but no words would come out. I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at him anymore. "Please, just leave."

I had hoped we could have a decent conversation, but Leonard's behavior was beyond anything I could have imagined. Not only did he want to remarry me, but he also wanted to take Amelia's child away. It seemed likely that Mrs. Miller coming to confront me was all part of his scheme. And what about Amelia? The thought of her fate sent a chill down my spine.

Having grown up in a family that always put boys first, going back to them would likely mean nothing but hardship for Amelia. But I wasn't a saint. I couldn't save

her.

Seeing my expression, Leonard suddenly calmed down, and a smirk crept onto his face. "Eva, I know things aren't great for you, and you don't have much left to care about. But even if there's nothing left between us, you can't just watch the Green family fall apart, can you?"

I opened my eyes to see that he was already sitting on the couch across from me, looking entirely relaxed.

"Eva, it's not easy for Alisa to hold up the family business all by herself. You can't just let it all go to waste, can you?"

""What do you mean?"Content is property © .

My eyelids began to twitch. Something about this was off.

Leonard shook his head lightly. "You don't just have Alisa as family, do you?"

Suddenly, Jasper's name popped into my head, and I frowned. I didn't even remember what he looked like, but I knew he had been in Manovia for a while, and his gambling debts wouldn't let him return easily.

Leonard nodded. "So, you remember your other cousin, huh? Jasper isn't a good person. But he's also Keenan's son, so inheriting the family business is quite reasonable, isn't it? You have to consider what might happen if he returned. Would the Greens even still exist?" I bit my lip, narrowing my eyes at him. I never thought Leonard would be this deranged.

He stood up, adjusting his clothes. "Eva, think it over. I'll take my leave. If you've come to a decision, you can contact Emilia. I know you've blocked me."
