Chapter 460 Attribution

"Already tired of me? Can't I just come to check on you?" Leonard seemed almost a bit disheartened, but I couldn't be bothered.

"You've seen me. I'm not dead. Now, leave," I pointed toward the door.

He chuckled and sat down by my bed. "Eva, there's a design issue with the project in Manovia. Did you know that?"

"Huh?" I looked at him wide-eyed Crystal had just left two hours ago, and she hadn't mentioned any issues.

He shook his head. "I thought Crystal came by to tell you about it."

A chill ran through me. He had spies in the hospital and was keeping tabs on my every move. I clenched my fists, barely managing to keep my composure. "I've left most of the design work to her, and she tends to downplay problems." Leonard nodded and pulled out a table. "These are the designs you worked on originally. Now, there's an issue with them, and we'll need you to take care

of this matter.

"Emma and her team will have to take at least a month to sort everything out from scratch. It's too complicated. We need you to handle it yourself." He placed the tablet in front of me.

I looked at the design sketches and couldn't help but laugh. "Leonard, are you insane, or do you think I am? Can't you see what condition I'm in?"

I coughed heavily, unable to contain my frustration. I was practically on my deathbed, and he still wanted to squeeze the last bit of work out of me. Was this capitalism at its worst?

He patted my back, a hint of reproach in his voice. "I have no other choice. You know how difficult it is to redo a design like this. And given your condition, wouldn't it be better to work while you still have the strength? That way, the project in Manovia won't be delayed.' I shook his hand off, disgusted. "You want to use me one last time before I die, don't you?

I had nothing more to say to him, feeling a wave of dizziness.

Leonard stifled his anger and held my hand firmly. "Eva, you know your capabilities. Anyone else who revises the designs will need a lot of time. You don't want the studio's first international project to be abandoned, right?"

I tried to pull my hand away, but he only tightened his grip.

"You're Harmon Group's Design Director. Your designs represent the company. You're responsible for completing this."

I was infuriated by his shamelessness. He wanted to pass off my studio's design as Harmon Group's work and exploit me even as I lay here, sick and exhausted?

Thinking about Crystal's hesitant look earlier, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, Getting angry wouldn't help me I needed something tangible in return. After two long minutes, I opened my eyes, feeling calm again. Looking at Leonard, I said, "Fine. I'll revise the designs, even if it kills me. But I have conditions."

"You can name anything. If it's within my power, I'll agree to anything."

"Then go jump out the window," I blurted instinctively.

Sering the brief look of shock on his face, I rolled my eyes. "When did you become this hypocritical, Leonard? Don't wor

know you won't do that. But I want my studio's name on the project in Manovia."

"No way!" he snapped, refusing immediately.

worry, I'm not asking you to die. I

Of course, had known all along that he intended to leverage the studio to coerce me while planning to take all the credit for himself. I lay back dow turning away from him. "It's just a name on the project. The choice is yours."

He extracted the single piece of paper with trembling hands..

He skipped all the medical jargon and jumped to the end.
