Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Be Careful Leonard still visited occasionally but was always turned away at the door. He then switched tactics, sendingsmall gifts now and then.

I didn't know what he sent over as I would immediately toss everything out. I couldn't risk accepting anything from him, worried he might have tampered with it. However, the cleaning staff on my floor seemed thrilled. They looked forward to Leonard's deliveries each day. Recently, Leonard seemed to be doing quite well. Harmon Group had landed several government contracts, and seeing him so triumphant in the news, I knew that Luca had lost the chance to compete Leonard's aggressive moves would easily outin of Luca's tricks.

any of The best part was that Leonard had stopped targeting Alisa.

After her last sarcastic encounter with him, I expected Leonard to hold a grudge, but each tAlisa visited, she'd just mention work matters, "Leonard's like a ticking tbomb. Several partnerships are back on, and I'm just done dealing with him. I just want to wrap things up and move on. Well, at least he's not targetinganymore, and the company's financially stable." I lowered my voice. "Are you sure he has let you off the hook for good?" she replied while passinga peeled apple, "Of course not. He's just keepinghooked. These partnerships can't be stopped, and there will be sadditional collaborations later. It's like he's afraid Green Group might run away. "If he's doing this to keephanging, fine by me.

"As long as I stay in this industry, crossing paths with the Harmon family is inevitable. But don't worry. Business is business, and not every encounter has to be hostile." I felt uneasy. The Harmon family was powerful, and Leonard seemed stronger than ever. If he really intended to target the Green family, I doubted Alisa's small company could withstand it.

Leonard was no longer an upstanding man, and I wouldn't risk assuming he had any conscience left in him Fortunately enough, he was preoccupied and likely too busy to bother us Media outlets had stopped focusing on our supposed temarriage, reporting on Harmon Group's success instead. Leonard's consecutive wins on major contracts cemented his future as the company's heir.

If this had happened back then, I would've celebrated his success. Now, all I felt was suffocation. I wanted nothing more than to recover and escape.

But I had forgotten that many of these p projects bore my thumbprint. It wasn't until Penelope cto visit that I remembered this detail. "Don't worry, I'm just here as a friend-not for official business," she said, sympathy filling her eyes. "Eva, you've had it rough."

I chuckled, shaking my head. "I'm not NO as bad off as Penelope rolled her eyes but then grew serious. "Eva, you didn't actually participate in any of the Harmon Group projects, right? You're barely able to get out of bed, so you can't work, can you?" off as I look. I've actually gained a pound from last weeld I can gain weight just from one meal, Can you believe that?" My heart sank. I immediately asked, "Is something wrong? She hesitated, nodding slightly.

"Nothing concrete-not yet anyway. But we found sminor issues with Hamon Group's projects during our investigations. It's no secret, a lot of about it. They might even be forced to make corrections Just be careful. Something feels off." f people know
