Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Compromise When I saw Mr. Harmon Senior's demeanor, realization dawned oninstantly. He was well aware of the things Leonard had done.

Mr. Harmon Senior was a businessman at the end of the day. Since Harmon Group got dragged into this mess, his priority was to decrease the negative impact on the company the best he could.

Now was not the tto hold Leonard responsible for the things he had done. Instead, we needed to cup with a solution to resolve the crisis.

I took a deep breath. "Mr. Harmon Senior, this incident has nothing to do with Emma." "Of course." "It has nothing to do witheither." "So?" Mr. Harmon Senior continued to look down at his teacup. He never bothered glancing at 1. me.

I gulped before replying, "We shouldn't be the ones taking responsibility for this incident." Mr. Harmon Senior never said a word. Instead, he just took his tsavoring his tea, as though what I said had nothing to do with him.

Five long minutes later, he finally put down the cup.

"Eva, I've always admired you. I know what happened to Leonard during his university days too. But you should know very well what the situation calls for. The best thing to do here is to cut my losses and protect Leonard no matter the cost." Then, Mr. Harmon Senior raised his head to look atdeeply. "The thing is, Leonard wishes to protect Amelia instead. What will happen to you, in this case? "Or perhaps you're suggesting that I should abandon Leonard and let Luca take over his duties instead?" Mr. Harmon Senior's gaze was pinned on me. I couldn't tell what he was feeling right now, but I knew that he had already made up his mind.

Leonard's memory was the only thing affected right now. There would always exist an opportunity for him to be fully cured of his abnormal condition.

Besides, he no longer lovednow. Everything was progressing in the direction that Mr. Harmon Senior wanted. It was a given that he would never give up on Leonard: Naturally, the fact that Leonard decided to abandonwouldn't affect Mr. Harmon Senior's plans at all. Based on his understanding ofand Leonard, there was no way I'd let Luca get his hands on Leonard's fruit of labor. happe: 242 Comprointe Before I could say anything else, I heard the front door being opened from the outside. Caleb ran into the villa while panting heavily.

"Granduncle lan, this has nothing to do with Eval" Poor Caleb was already struggling to catch his breath, yet he insisted on defendingthe first chance he got.

"You should know very well that Eva's loyalties lie within the company! I've already gone. through the documents! Our company has been leeching off her patents for free! "Granduncle lan, if Eva were to becthe scapegoat, she'd definitely be thrown into prison! We can't resort to such unethical solutions!" Caleb glared at Mr. Harmon Senior defiantly after that.

Truth be told, Caleb was considered an outsider. After all, he cfrom a branch family instead of the main Harmon family. Still, he took his place by my side like devoted friend he was.

Mr. Harmon Senior just looked at both of us. Soon, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.

"Unethical, you say? Well then, Caleb, why don't you offera solution that's both ethical. and capable of preserving our company?" That question clearly stunned Caleb. He looked atwith his lips parted, yet he couldn't utter a single word.

Not even Mr. Harmon Senior and Leonard could resolve this matter. How could Caleb, a vice manager who had just joined the company, do anything about this situation? I just shook my head as a hint for him to not say anything.

It was useless to say anything at this point. Mr. Harmon Senior was hellbent on protecting Leopard, while Leonard was willing to do anything just to protect Amelia. I was the one who was meant to be discarded right from the start. "I can choose to get a divorce and give up on my shares, but I refuse to take the blno matter what." This was my bottom line.

I had studied design for so many years. I had won so many awards and registered so many patents in my lifetime..

If I were to admit that this was my fault, my life would be essentially ruined. Even if my illness were to worsen to the point that I could no longer work, I mustn't let my reputation get tarnished no matter what.

At that moment, Caleb's face lit up. He turned around to look at Mr. Harmon Senior Chups 242 Compromise immediately.

"Why don't we compromise, Granduncle Tan? Eva will give up on Othe her shares as compensation for damages incurred. Once the other Ο parties receive the compensation, they'll drop the charges. That way, Eva can continue handling the projects." As soon as his suggestion left his lips, both Mr. Harmon Senior and I shook our heads. immediately.

The Harmon family wouldn't be stuck in a rut if they had enough money to compensate the affected parties Besides, more than a dozen projects got affected by this accident. My shares were definitely not enough to compensate all of the client companies involved.
