Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 88

The Only Mrs. Harmon

"What's the problemparkas, are you really trying to stop Leonard's child from being born because you don't want him to have an her?

"Trying to snatch someone he's inheritance-aren't you bring a bit too blatant about it now?" by shot back, trying to snatch the photo from Darius hand. Leah wasn't one ilo back down either, and she immediately raised the photo

"Leonard and Eva were having a child, we'd be lighting fireworks in celebration. But the child this woman is carrying might not even be a Harmon!" "Look at this photo-this woman is a prostitute Who knows how many men she's been with? The police have even discovered she has a daughter!" "After all the times this woman has framed, do you really crust that the child she's carrying is Leonard's?"

Leah walked over to me, grasping my hand tightly

"Eva, don't worry. Daries and I will stand up for you

"We only recognize you as the Harmon family's daughter-in-law. No one else will ever take your place!"

Dy wasn't going to let this opportunity slip by and immediately started to curse Luca, however, stayed quiet, simply watching the show unfold.

I knew that Darker family didn't genuinely want to help me. They simply saw an oppommay

Since couldn't have children, their son might now have a chance to be involved in the Hamon Group after returning from abroad.

As for Bob's family, they likely had their own plans as well it wouldn't be surprising if they tried to control the situation by manipulating Leonard's child.

I didn't say anything. This station had escalated beyond the point where someone like me, a junior in the family, could speak up.

Besides, how much longer would I even be part of this family!

*Enough! What's all this commotion? as this something to be proud of?

lan slammed his came against the floor several times, finallybringing silence to the room.

Darius spoke up, unwilling to back down. "Uncle Jan, this child might not be a Harmon, Youcan'the soft on this!"

Leah muttered quietly, "If we can find out, the media can too. Uncle tan, do you really want the Harmon family to end up with a prostitute for a daughter-in-law?"

Her words han right where it hurt the most.

When Leonard wanted to marry me, the Eamily was against it from the start, believing that I was unworthy of the Harmon came because my family had gone bankrupt. But Leonard was adamant, and lan eventually relented, given that Leonard and I had been together since college.

But if it were Lily in my place, there would be no question-

everyone would oppose the marriage. If her background was exposed, the internet would dig up every detail. Her child, her past as a prostitute, and even who she had slept with. It would be a huge scandal for the Harmon family

*Enough. Everyone, bead home. We'll handle our family's matters ourselves. Leonard, Eva, come upstairs with me.""

Without another word, Tan turned and headed upstairs. Leonard and 1 exchanged a glance, and helped him up the stairs. Behind us, Dob's family was still making a fuss, but the butler and mails were already holding them back. In the end, this was still Leonard's family affair, and they had no right to interfere

Both families had their own agendas. Even as an outsider, I could see that clearly-and so could everyone else.

"Leonard, is the child yours?"!

in the study, lan got straight to the point.

Leonard glanced at me guirly. "I'm not sure. Tonly slept with her rice, and tused protection both times."

His voice was barely auble, but in the quiet study, it was crystal clear.

I took a deep breath, keeping my expression neutral. 1 had already seen him with other women at home. Compared to that, why would this ec?

He reached out, trying to hold my hand, but I pulled away. Whether it was once or twice with Lily, it didn't matter to me. And it wasn't just Lily he had been with.

Ten thought for a moment, then looked at Leonard

"there's a chance it's yours, I doubt they would dare lie about something this serious! Even if there's only a 1% chance that the child is yours, I can't ignore it. Do you understand?"!

understood perfectly lan had always wanted Leonard to have a child to sodity his current position. He couldn't afford to take any risks.

However, Lily had killed someone, and that made me uneasy.

I spoke up, "an, she killed Vera."

"I'll handle that Don't worry about IL No aon child will be born in prison."

law waved his hand dismissively, as if this were just a trivial matter

Howered my head, knowing there was no room left for discussion with the Harmos family's influence, protecting Lily wouldn't be difficult. Since Vera's death, I hadn't seen any other family members at the police station. They likely had one left to seek justice for her Perhaps Lily had already dealt with her family, which was why she felt bold enough to show up at the Harmon household so brazenly

Then, Lenard spoke again, albeit with a trembling voice. "No, Eva and I will have a child. I don't want this one."

Leonard clenched his fists and looked at Tan, a trace of defiance in his eyes.

He tried to reach for my hand again, but avoided him

i frowned at our little exchange, then sighed.

by Mrs. Harmen. That won't

He said, "I'll take care of her. This won't affect the child, but the Hamion family won't accept her to our home. Eva, you are and always will be the unh Mis Chapter 88 The Only Mrs. Harmon

I widened my eyes in disbelief as I looked at him.

"Tan, didn't we already agree.

tan raised a hand to cut me off, then turned to Leonard, his tone stern. "Leonard, leave us. I need to speak with Eva alone."
