Chapter 303 Not Her
was the first time Lura had been so brazen his gloating was almost too obvious. He used to at least put on a front, but now? He wasn’t even
And what did be mean by “investigate the people around you”?
I lowered my head, thinking about his words. Could it be that he knew Amelia was behind this? Right now, the only person close to Leonard was Amelia.
I was about to be his ex-wife, and Caleb was just a distant cousin, Neither of us would count as people close to Leonard anymore.
Leonard didn’t speak, seemingly lost in thought as well.
Mr. Harmon Senior gave a few more instructions, emphasizing the need to investigate thoroughly and file an appeal with the committee, before leaving
the office.
I was about to leave too when Leonard called out to me, “Eva, wait. I need to ask you something.” Knowing how serious the situation was, I didn’t hesitate, “Go ahead. Ask me whatever you need.”
“Do you think it’s Amelia?” His gaze was probing, and I gave a slight nod.
“At the moment, it looks like it could be, but I’m not sure. She doesn’t stand to gain anything from doing this, yet all the evidence seems to point to her.” With Caleb taking Leonard’s place, what was in it for her? Her child would no longer have any claim to Harmon Group. She couldn’t be that foolish.
But aside from Amelia, I couldn’t think of anyone else who’d do something so reckless,
Leonard fell silent too. It seemed the trail had gone cold.
“Leonard, I want to check the security footage to see if anyone suspicious has been going in and out of the design department,” I said.
“Also, we should have the IT department check everyone’s computers and network activity. Something feels off to me. And the fewer people who know about this, the better- let’s keep the investigation quiet.”
If we were hacked, maybe the hacker got ahold of our designs.
Leonard sighed. “There’s no other choice. We’ll start with an internal investigation. How about your studio?”
“They’ll be investigated too. I understand how serious this is.”
I was no longer a naive college student. I knew there were a thousand ways this could’ve happened. I trusted my team, but others needed to trust them
100. 100.
Thinking about about this.
Amelia fainting earlier, I added, “Leonard, Amelia is a prime suspect. Shouldn’t you ask her? Besides you, she won’t talk to anyone else
“No nord.” Leonard shook his head “She didn’t do it. She has no motive and no opportunity.”
It was the first time Leonard seemed so sure, and he chose to believe Amelia.
Maybe my surprise showed too much on my face because Leonard looked a bit flustered. “Eva, it’s not that I trust her it’s that she was with me all night last night. She had no chance to leak any of the materials” I didn’t know what to say after that
He was right. It had been a long time since Leonard stayed at our apartment Amella had been living in the Harmon residence ever since they had the baby there.
I took a deep breath, trying to push down the disgust rising in my chest.
“Leonard, with WhatsApp, Bluetooth, and email, she could’ve taken a few photos and sent them in seconds. Are you sure you were with her the entire time? Even when she showered or went to the bathroom?” I admitted my words came out a little bitter, but it was the truth. If Amelia wanted to leak something, she could’ve done it.
“It’s not like that. Eva. Please believe me, it wasn’t her,” Leonard said, looking at me sincerely. “She really didn’t have the time. It’s not her.”
