SWNOVELS Chapter 241
Chapter 241 Bottom Line
Jill and Emma had been working hard just to help me out.
Jill used all of the resources she could possibly use. She began asking for the surveillance footage from all of her connections just so she could prove that Amelia had visited my house before. She even threatened the apartment's management to give up a portion of their surveillance footage.
I had no idea how Leonard could remember the passcode to unlock the front door. The thing was, Amelia had gotten into the apartment by keying in the passcode.
Also, she had searched around in the apartment for more than an hour before leaving with her men. At that time, she happened to carry a folder with her.
Meanwhile, Emma kept looking for people to testify for me that I was no longer in charge of the affected projects. Many of the projects' digital information was distributed to various employees in segregated sections. The system kept records of everything. Amelia didn't have my laptop. Leonard had to register a new work account for her just so she could deal with work. The police would be able to find out that I was no longer in charge of those projects as long as they investigated the whole case properly. Of course, Emma had the witnesses write testimonials for me. When she passed me the testimonials, she even told me to have them locked up in a bank vault if I wanted.
"I've asked around. Turns out you can get a vault opened for you just to store the testimonials in the bank. Look at these written testimonials," she said to me. "I've also consulted a lawyer, Circumstantial evidence and witnesses count toward proving your innocence in a case, there's no need to worry."
SO
As I went through the testimonials with unfamiliar penmanship signed by familiar names, I could feel my eyes starting to burn with tears. The colleagues who had seen me handing over the projects to Amelia gave similar testimonials. Even the janitor wrote her own testimonial in wonky handwriting.
Everyone proved that I had never been to the company since that day. Naturally, I didn't have to take on any responsibilities.
Since the finance department had already removed my name from the bonus I was supposed to receive, why should I be the one taking responsibility?
All of the evidence could prove that I had nothing to do with the projects. However, Leonard was even more despicable than I thought. He actually chose to target Emma this time.
The day after Emma handed me the testimonials, Jean called me hurriedly. "Eva, Ms. Carter is in trouble! Something has happened to the construction project she's in charge of! Right now, she's under investigation!

"Also, the company has paid for the project we've managed to secure. But now, the other party refuses to collaborate with us! Mr. Harmon decided to pin the blame on Ms. Carter!"
I could only hold my phone the entire time, unsure how to react to the news.
The Leonard who lived in my memories was a cheerful and optimistic teenager who sided with justice. Even after he grew up to become the cold and aloof CEO who everyone was familiar with, he still had a bottom line when it came to running his business and securing contract
deals with other clients.
To think that he had given up on his own bottom line for Amelia's sake...
How was it possible for a company, that had been collaborating with Harmon Group for more than a decade, to stop the collaboration all of a sudden?
Soon, Jean texted me a series of problematic projects. Many of the projects weren't under Emma's jurisdiction at all. In fact, Leonard was the one who had signed the documents and given his stamp of approval, yet Emma was the one shouldering the blame. I could only clench my fists tightly. Right now, I wanted nothing more than to sock Leonard in
the face.
The moment I saw Leonard calling me on the phone, I knew what I'd do next. After ending the call, I changed clothes before heading to the Harmon residence.
Right now, Harmon Group was being scrutinized by all forces in the world. It'd be best if a scapegoat could show up and shoulder, all of the blame. If not, Mr. Harmon Senior would definitely cut his losses just to protect Leonard.
Mr. Harmon Senior wasn't surprised in the slightest when he saw me arriving at the Harmon
residence.
"Ah, Eva. You're here. Come, take a seat. How are you doing lately?"
I couldn't be bothered to make small talk with the Harmons. They might seem like they cared about
but the truth was, no one bothered to visit me despite knowing that I was pregnant with Leonard's child back then.
me,
I just smiled. "Mr. Harmon Senior, are you really planning on ruining your company's reputation that your family has spent decades building?"
If there existed someone who could still stop Leonard from doing whatever he wanted, it'd be
Mr. Harmon Senior.
Mr. Harmon Senior just raised an eyebrow casually. Then, he lifted the cup before him. "What are you planning to do, then?"
