Chapter 260 Getting Divorced First
With Mr. Harmon Senior’s blessing, I felt much more confident and at ease. I’d be free after the divorce, and I no longer had to let my status as Leonard’s wife shackle me.
When I went downstairs, I saw Amelia massaging Leonard’s head. She even gave me a vicious glare. I pretended not to see anything and sat on the couch.
Leonard didn’t look too hot. I wasn’t sure if it was due to his unusual migraine. I recalled the doctor saying that, given his condition, he had to do his best to go for a check-up routinely. It seemed he hadn’t been to the hospital at all. I was still in the middle of my thoughts when Mr. Harmon Senior recounted what we talked about earlier. Before Leonard and Caleb could say anything, Amelia outright rejected the idea.
“I’m overseeing the design department in Harmon Group, Mr. Harmon Senior. Do you realize you are humiliating me?”
“Why do I have to personally humiliate you?” Mr. Harmon Senior retorted matter-of-factly. “You have submitted more than ten collaborative proposals. Were our clients happy with any one of them?
“Here’s the thing, Amelia. Leonard approves of your abilities. So, you should show us what you’re made of, instead of relying on his approval to get by.”
Amelia’s eyes turned red immediately when Mr. Harmon Senior openly criticized her skills. As a matter of fact, she wasn’t completely incompetent. After all, she put a lot of effort into her studies. She was technically a passing designer. Amelia could manage various details in different designs, and she could produce some basic designs according to the client’s visions. If she could properly learn from her studies overseas and sharpen her skills to another level, that might’ve been able to make up for her lack of
talent.
With that said, I’d seen the designs Emma sent me. It seemed like Amelia’s time overseas didn’t serve any purpose. Her skills as a designer were similar to those who studied locally.
Amelia had probably put her work into mingling with high society overseas. However, she only picked up the know-how for social etiquette. She didn’t do anything to make herself a more competent designer.
Amelia would never come to learn that the so-called members of high society also looked at a person’s value, aside from family background.
Amelia’s shoulders kept shaking, but she tried very hard to fight back tears. Leonard comforted her and patted her hand. “Don’t worry. Everything’s okay.
“Also, didn’t you have a design patent from your time in college? We can use yours. It’s not

like we have to use a certain someone’s patent.” At the next moment, Leonard gave me at taunting look.
I raised my eyebrow dismissively. Was he putting his bets on Amelia’s design patent? Well. He was going to be sorely disappointed.
Actually, I was disappointed as well. He remembered my design patent, but he didn’t remember that it belonged to me. I sniffed hard and turned my gaze away from him.
This time, however, Leonard seemed to have noticed the slight change in my emotion. “What do you have to feel sorry about? You kept saying you focused on your studies back in college. What have you learned, though?
“You and Amelia were roommates, but you never spent any effort on design. All you knew to do was pester me. Go ahead and take away your design. We’ll just use Amelia’s design patent to replace yours. Don’t ever think that Harmon Group couldn’t survive without you.” “Please stop, Leonard.” Amelia was as white as a sheet right now. She was also trembling uncontrollably.
What was fake could never be made real. It couldn’t withstand tests and inquiries. Amelia knew about this better than anyone.
I chuckled and shook my head. I didn’t intend to entertain the two of them.
Mr. Harmon Senior said decisively, “That’s enough. We’ll do as Eva said. She’ll set up her own studio and collaborate with Harmon Group in the future.”
“Mr. Harmon Senior!” Amelia clenched her fists in humiliation. “What about my design department?”
“All you have to do is follow Eva’s lead.” Mr. Harmon Senior didn’t intend to explain too much. to Amelia. He was already instructing Caleb to send the information regarding the current project to me.
I didn’t intend to stay there any longer than I had to. So, I directly rose to my feet. “Now that we’ve come to an agreement, I’ll plan and prepare for my new studio.
“Also, get the divorce agreement ready as quickly as you can, Leonard. We’re getting divorced before I collaborate with Herman Group.”
