Chapter 408 Chapter 408 Dirty Tricks Jack didn't leave until I finished my meal. He was actually quite busy, and I was aware that he made the tto keepcompany every single day.

It warmed my heart to see him doing that, but it also madefeel guilty. I couldn't promise Jack anything, but he didn't seem to care about it either. He never brought it up.

It was just that I wasn't sure how long we could keep it going. I glanced at the catheter needle on my hand and thought that I should probably toughen up.

Then, my phone vibrated, and I immediately got a bad feeling. When I saw Leonard's non the screen, I almost declined the call out of pure instinct. However, I ended up answering it when I thought about how the troubles at Harmon Group had snowballed. "What's up?" "H-How are you holding up, Eva?" "Good." Both of us fell silent. We used to talk about everything, but there was nothing we could say to each other now. The drastic change merely took a short tto take place.

After about a minute, I couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Leonard, if there's nothing..." "No. Don't hang up. I do need your help." It seemed as if it was hard for him to say it out, but he gritted his teeth and said what needed to be said.

"I believe you're well aware of Harmon Group's situation now, Eva. The company can't take another hit anymore." ""Yeah. So?" "So, can you have mercy onand stop things from getting worse on the internet?" Leonard sounded a little anxious.

I did know how these things were affecting Harmon Group. Then again, weren't they true? "Does that mean you were aware that these injustices constantly happened in Harmon Group, Leonard?" I could be a stubborn mule when it cto certain stuff, and I got my answer after he fell quiet for more than ten seconds. "You know how it is, Eva. There's nothing I can...

"If what they say on the inteis true, then you should seek help from the public relations department, Leonard. I don't have the means to twist and alter the truth." I had no expectations at this moment. At the very least, I didn't expect anything from Leonard. He was no longer the cheerful and energetic man I used to know. As the CEO, he had to make the best call after he had considered all factors.

"That's not it. I'm not asking you to lie, Eva. Can you just ask Jack to stop dealing blows to Harmon Group? You have no idea how dirty his tactics are!" What Leonard said tickedoff a little.

Did he really just say that Jack resorted to dirty tricks? What was so innocent about Harmon Group, though? I rubbed my eyebrows and tried my best to stay calm.

"Do you think his tricks are dirtier than the ones Harmon Group pulled on their employees? At the very least, everything Jack got from his investigation is true. Isn't that right? Jack has never set you up or anything, Leonard. Didn't the Harmon family knowingly do everything they did? "Moreover, he gave you a chance to set things right, didn't he?" If Leonard had published the documents Mr. Harmon Senior held from the get-go and hadn't framedfor something I had never done, none of these would've happened.

In fact, I was quite thankful that Leonard had been this selfish. Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that the people in Harmon Group had stooped so low.

"Are you this defensive of him? Do you honestly think what he did was right?" Leonard sounded a little worked up. It seemed he was quite pissed off.

I had no clue why he was this angry. After all, it wasn't anybody's fault'in the first place. "You're my wife, Eva. How could you- "Quite forgetful, aren't you, Mr. Harmon? We're divorced. Don't you remember that?"

At that moment, I was almost completely devoid of emotions. Leonard very rarely lost control of himself. I guessed he had fallen apart now. With that said, didn't intend to soothe him like I had always done in the past. We were already divorced. "There's no reason why I should help you, Leonard, and I certainly won't pass on your message to anyone. It doesn't matter what Jack did; what matters is that he has never done anything to hurt me. Wouldn't you agree? y "Don't callanymore. That's all I have to say to you." The moment I hung up the phone, I had finally moved on from Leonard.
