Leonard stood at the side of my hospital bed for a long time, I knew he was weighing his options. If he allowed my studio's name to appear, then he wa effectively telling the whole world that Harmon Group didn't design the project. I might've been Harmon Group's design director for the time being, but anyone with a sharp eye and keen mind would immediately understand what was going on.

Naturally, Leonard wasn't okay with it. However, I couldn't make concessions either. It didn't matter if my death was genuine or fake. I had to leave Crystal and the others with an impressive reputation.

That way, my studio would continue to have a substantial influence in the industry even if I wasn't in the picture.

I didn't hear Leonard's voice until after a while. "If this is what you want, then so be it. However, I have terms of my

I opened my eyes and looked at him with a blank expression. Leonard had never been one to suffer losses in a deal. I had expected him to name his terms Right now, I didn't have anything. So, he could only have one term "Let's get remarried,"

This was fully within my expectations. So, it didn't faze me at all, I looked at him with unblinking eyes, and his gaze was fixed on me as well. It seemed like both of us understood what was on each other's mind right now. Eventually, I chuckled, "Why should I remarry you, Leonard? What makes you think I'll do something like that and let you become my legal guardian? Why should I subject myself to your whim and lancy? You think too highly of yourself, Leonard. Just stop." My eyes were laced with mockery, but my heart was chilled to the core. It looked like I had to get a step on and execute the plan Luca put forth. I honestly couldn't go back to Leonard's side.

"You know you don't have grounds to reject me, Eva." Leonard leaned forward slightly. "If you want y have to give me something in return."

"I'll let Harmon Group share the credit." This was my line. I couldn't let him cross it. "You've been spreading Leonard. I've never refuted them. It's just a marriage certificate. Why won't you let it go?"

I didn't get why Leonard was so obsessed over it, and he didn't understand why I wouldn't agree to it "Right back at you. Why won't you do it? It's just a marriage certificate. Leonard immediately stood up. He didn't give me any o either. However, I shook my head again. "That's impossible. Just love."

"Save your breath, Leonard. You know very well that my surgery has a slim chance of success. I'm going to die soon, and I can't afford to care about her anymore." I kept my eyes shut and spoke without much emotion.

"I'm really tired. If you back me into a corner, I'll just drag you down with me. Once I'm dead, whatever you do to them is none of my I must've sounded too indifferent, or perhaps Leonard was also tired.

In the end, I heard him saying, "Suit yourself."

When he was leaving my ward, he added, "You have two days to get it through your head. I'll be waiting for you

I knew it. Leonard would never give in that easily.

I stared at the ceiling in a daze. The walls in the VIP ward were painted light green, which signified life and birth. However, I felt nothing but melancholy right now. I was already in this miserable state. Why did he keep pushing me? I couldn't stop caring about Alisa in good conscience. Actually, it was kind of weird. We had only met each other twice when we were young, and we weren't exactly close either.

However, the bond between us suddenly deepened by leaps and bounds. She was willing to give up Green Group for my sake, and I wasn't about to make her think she sacrificed for the wrong person.

I knew that Leonard had to get off her back if she wanted to marry into the Pope family. I ran the thought through my head for a whole day, and I gave Luca a call during the weekend.

"I've made a decision, Luca. Let's work together, partn
