Chapter 386 The Mastermind
After Leonard came back, Harmon Group immediately resumed normal operations. Not only did the construction for the project resume, but all the departments had also begun their internal reorganization. Emma would share the company’s gossip with me every day, but I wasn’t really interested. Given Leonard’s abilities, managing Harmon Group wouldn’t
be hard.
Both Caleb and Luca weren’t his match. As long as he focused on the job, his role as the successor was practically guaranteed. It was especially so now that he had a son.
My heart hurt every time I thought about him, Amelia, and that child. Maybe I just couldn’t stand to see other people doing well.
After a few days, Penelope came to update me on the progress of the case. As the victim, I might be able to receive compensation since the mastermind had been found.
“The person who attacked you was in contact with the other party online, but we still managed to track down the mastermind’s ID. We also traced the transfer account. It’s under Ivy’s beauty salon.” “Leonard’s aunt?”
“Right, her. She posted on a forum and even transferred money to the guy. She can’t argue against this. This is complete evidence.”
“So, this could prove that Luca swapped the documents to pin the design issues on me?” I asked.
Ivy might not be bright, but she genuinely cared about her son. I could understand if she did this for Luca’s sake.
However, Penelope shook her head. “She didn’t admit to it. She even claimed someone framed her. No matter what, she won’t admit it..
“You know how tricky the Harmons’ legal team is. They’re a pain in the ass. Even my superior is struggling. But at least we have enough evidence to prove she hired someone to attack you.
I nodded in silence. Perhaps this was the best outcome I could hope for.
Ivy wouldn’t let something happen to Luca, but she wouldn’t confess about the project either.
“By the way, the person who attacked you is called Donny Fard. We’ve looked into his records. He only had contact with Ivy, so we can basically convict him. He also confirmed that the person who called him was a woman, but we can’t trace the number.”
I understood what Penelope was getting at. At most, they could only pin it on Ivy. The others would be off the hook
Even if Ivy got caught, she would only need to pay me compensation for medical expenses and emotional damages. Besides that, she would also serve a brief time in prison.
I was still alive, after all. And I recovered fairly quickly. Everything seemed to be unrelated to Luca and Caleb, but something still felt off.
Why was it so coincidental that someone from Manovia would break into my house? And how did he know the exact location of my house?
Just as I was about to ask Penelope about the investigation, Jill visited me, looking cheerful.
“Eva, you said you wanted to invest. How’s that going? The materials I gave you the other day were wrong. Caleb registered new procedures with my company yesterday, and he’s asking me to sign an investment agreement. We’ll be family soon. Why is he so formal?” I read the documents Jill sent me, feeling confused. “It’s not the same company?”
“Of course not. Didn’t I tell you he already had a company back in university? That company is no longer in business. He sent me the wrong materials because he was busy at the time, and he only realized it when we were about to sign the contract.”
I looked at the new documents again. They seemed even more complete than the previous ones. Could I really have misunderstood Caleb?
