Chapter 452 Don't Let Me off the Hook

Looking at the deranged Leonard in front of me, I felt only a cold emptiness. Time truly changed people-he had become someone I didn't recognize. "Leonard, you're insane!"

1 met his gaze calmly, and he suddenly laughed.

"That's right, Eva. I'm insane. I went crazy a long time ago. I lost it when you went to Manovia. Do you think I'm still normal?" He leaned in abruptly, grabbing me by the collar.

"Eva, don't provoke a madman. If you leave me, I have no family left. I don't care about anything anymore, so don't push me, understand?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he appeared as wild as a caged animal. But I continued to look at him calmly. I had nothing left to lose either, so what was there to

fear?

He released my collar and smoothed out the wrindes on it.

"Eva, you should understand how crucial the Manovia project is for me. Now, Zack and Jack are getting in any way, not letting Harmon Group take over. But that doesn't matter, does it? All I need is your approval"

He pulled a document from his bag. "As long as you sign, Harmon Group can step in. After all, we've remarried. You're still my wife and the Design Director of Hannon Group"

His voice was persuasive as he shoved the pen into my hand.

"Eva, Harmon Group will be ours. No one can separate us. Besides, you'll go back to overseeing all these projects. Nothing will change. If you sign, I'll stop going after Alisa too. She can go ahead and plan her wedding in peace, can't she?"

I chuckded, tossing the pen to the floor.

"Leonard, you truly disgust me. When I was unconscious, you forced me to stamp my thumbprint on those documents. You should know that won't hold any legal effect."

I looked at lum with a sense of despair, unable to fathom how things had come to this,

worry. As long as you don't press charges,

He just shrugged, indifferent. "It doesn't matter. It'll stick as long as you aclusowledge that it's your thumbprint, Don't w no one else will."

He picked up the pen and extended it to me again "Eva, you know that several of Alisa's projects are under my control, right? What do you think will happen if they all go south? What will she do? Didn't she say she wanted you at her wedding? Her dress is almost teady." "Leonard!" I practically growled his name.Text © owned by .

Security personnel outside opened the door and came in, along with a few reporters snapping photos.

I closed my eyes briefly, then addressed them, "Sorry, everyone, please step outside. I need to have a word with Leonard."

They glanced at me, saw that I was alright, and closed the door behind them. Leonard let out a cold laugh.

"The McLennons have trained these guards well. But Eva, Jack is drowning in his own problems right now, and no one's coming to help Alisa. The Popes won't back her forever either. Who wants a daughter-in-law who's a walking disaster, right?"

With a smirk, Leonard guided my hand back to the pen. "I've prepared everything. Just sign, and all of this will be resolved. These other documents also carry your name, and you'll remain the Design Director of Harinon Group. We rise and fall together. Isn't that a good thing?"

I glanced through the documents, letting out a bitter laugh.

"Fall together? You mean I fall alone, right?

Each document listed me, the terminally ill woman, as the person responsible. If anything went wrong, I would be the one to take the fall.

This was Harmon Group's usual tactic, and I knew it well, I didn't look at him anymore and simply signed my name,

"Leonard, you'd better keep your word. Because if you don't, I'll haunt you even after I'm gone."

He looked at my signature and raised an eyebrow. "Oh, please, don't let me off the hook I'm begging you," he said sarcastically,
