Leonard cleared his throat and looked stern.

After adjusting my clothes, he patted my shoulder.

“Continue working hard and don’t procrastinate for the project.”

Then, he turned and ran away, leaving me behind. I smiled awkwardly while Emma kept laughing.

“What’s wrong with you two? Have you reconciled?

“Isn’t the change in your behavior too big? Has Leonard been possessed by a ghost?”

She approached me and imitated Leonard by patting my shoulder.

“Continue working hard. Haha!”

After rolling my eyes at her, I told her what had happened the previous night.

It seemed like she knew everything already because she waved dismissively.

“He was drugged anyway. It’s fine, he won’t know anything.

“I heard that he kept calling your name even though he wasn’t sober. If I didn’t know what he did previously, I would’ve thought that he was like a passionate male lead in a drama.”

I sighed. As expected, Jill probably told her about the incident already.

Thankfully, her phone ran out of battery. Otherwise, it would’ve been really embarrassing.

However, I was a little relieved. My relationship with Leonard had improved, and the investigation was going along pretty well.

Yet, I didn’t remain happy for long–after getting off work, Leonard looked for me. His expression was a

little serious.

“Are you free tonight? Grandpa wants us to return to the Harmon residence.”

Actually, Leonard and I had never gone there ever since I fell sick.

I still cared about what Bob’s family said the previous time. How could Mr. Harmon Senior be oblivious to their relationship with Lily?

It was a pity that Lily didn’t collect enough evidence. She died without causing harm to anyone else.

Meanwhile, though I heard what she said about Luca back then, I was only a witness.

Besides, Luca might hurt me in the future.

When I thought about how Mr. Harmon Senior would criticize me later on, I trembled.

Leonard walked over swiftly. “We won’t have to go back if you don’t want to meet him.”

“No. Let’s go. We owe them an explanation.”

It was inevitable–I couldn’t stay away from the Harmon residence forever.

As expected, the moment we arrived there, Leonard was punished again.

“Look at what you’ve done! You cheated on your wife. Why couldn’t you control yourself?

“You caused so much trouble, but you didn’t come back home. Do you want me to die from anger?”

“Now, the culprit has died. You should come back and give us an explanation! Is there any use in hiding?”

Ivy and her family kept adding fuel to the fire while Leah tried to mediate the situation.

This time, I fell silent and listened to Leonard’s words.

“Grandpa, I’ve learned from my mistakes. In the future, I’ll live a happy life with Eva and I won’t cause trouble anymore.

“We won’t get a divorce, and we’ll manage the company properly.”

After hearing that, Mr. Harmon Senior’s expression looked less upset.

“You’d better fulfill your promise, or I’ll beat you to death!

“Both of you aren’t very healthy now. Since Eva needs chemotherapy, both of you will have to recuperate properly. Three years later, the two of you should try for a baby.”

When Mr. Harmon Senior mentioned kids again, I lowered my head.

I couldn’t give birth to children because of my health.

Once I remembered what Leonard told me about having kids, I felt very suffocated.

In the meantime, Leonard stood up and supported me as I sat down. I wanted to leave the place quickly.

Suddenly, Mr. Harmon Senior looked at Luca. “Luca, you managed the company well back then. Since both of them aren’t in good health now, why don’t you continue helping out at the company?”
