Chapter 228 Chapter 28 You're Not Leaving "Idiot! Leonard, you're an absolute idiot!" Mr. Harmon Senior's cane cdown, narrowly missing Leonard, but he still stood firm, his chin raised defiantly.

"Grandpa, is there a better way than this? "With all the gossip flying around, isn't it because she won't divorce me? If she agrees to a divorce, it won't matter who I'm with, and the company won't be affected anymore. This is clearly her responsibility." I shut my eyes tightly, trying to convince myself that he was sick and mentally unwell.

But despite knowing that, the anger burned hot inside me. I wanted to march over and slap him.

"Eva..." Caleb's voice ccautiously from beside me. I turned toward him, my eyes still brimming with unshed tears.

"I'm fine," I muttered, though I clearly wasn't.

"Leonard, shut up!" Mr. Harmon Senior snapped, his cane landing harder, this ton Leonard's back before he turned to the stunned board members.

"I apologize to all of you. Unfortunately, Our family issues have spilled into your lives, and I'm deeply sorry. Givethree days, and I will provide a solution that satisfies everyone. The board meeting is over." When Mr. Harmon Senior spoke, no one dared argue. The board members exchanged glances, murmuring as they left the room. I could see it in their eyes-change was coming, and Harmon Group was about to face a major shift in power. As the room emptied, a few Harmon family members, including me, remained.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Amelia lingering by the door, her expression anxious. Of course, she was worried. If Mr. Harmon Senior disagreed with the divorce, she might be thrown out for good.

Her old debt to Leonard, the necklace she'd given him, had long been repaid through years she spent studying abroad. Now, her future hung in the balance. And, just as importantly, she feared I might reveal the truth.

Seeing his beloved looking fragile at the door, Leonard rushed over and pulled her inside. "Get her out!" Mr. Harmon Senior growled, barely containing his rage.

But Leonard stubbornly stood his ground. "Grandpa, this is aboutand Amelia. She has every right to be here." He glared at me. "If anyone needs to leave, it's the person who will soon no longer be part of Chaux 20 Your Not Crawing the family." Amelia stood beside him, showing no emotion but clearly basking in her small victory, evident. from the smug gleam in her eyes.

I glanced down at their interlocked fingers, feeling the weight of my heart sinking deeper. I forced myself to look away, refusing to give them the satisfaction. Even if I was not part of the Harmons, I was still a shareholder of Harmon Group.

Luca, standing off to the side, snickered, casting a sly glance at the pair. "A divorce, huh? You sure you won't regret this, Leonard?" He threw a look my way, almost daringto react.

Everyone in the room knew what was really going on. Even Amelia knew the truth. Yet, she was content to live in denial, as long as it meant being with Leonard I kept my head down, waiting for the inevitable conclusion.

even if it was all a lie.

At that moment, something insideshifted. I had already wanted to divorce Leonard. Now, it didn't seem to matter when it happened. Today, tomorrow-what difference would it make? "Of course, I won't regret it!" Leonard shouted, but his words were quickly interrupted by Amelia's soft voice.

"There's no need for a divorce." Leonard and Amelia had spoken simultaneously, but their words couldn't have been more. different. Leonard turned toward her, confused. "Amy, don't you want to be with me?"

Amelia didn't meet his gaze. Instead, she looked directly at Mr. Harmon Senior. "I've already booked my flight. Tomorrow'm leaving for Erewhon, and I won't be coming back. This whole mess wasn't Eva's fault. It's on me. I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused the company. Her voice broke slightly as she bowed deeply to Mr. Harmon Senior, her body trembling.

Leonard, panicked, grabbed her arm. "No! I'm not letting you leave! "I'll divorce Eva immediately, and then we can get married!

"Amy, you can't go! You've already left once; I won't let you leave with someone else again. I'm not letting you leave for Erewhon this time!" WW

His voice grew louder, more frantic until it abruptly cut off Then, without warning, Leonard collapsed, his body falling straight backward. Everyone rushed toward him, but I stayed where was, unmoved.
