Chapter 60 Returning What's Yours

As it turns out, Leonard had been pressing his lawyer to bail Lily out all along, and now that we agreed to the settlement, she was free to go.

I couldn't help but feel a moment of sympathy for the lawyer, who looked utterly defeated. After all, he's been cleaning up Leonard's messes for years

Emma, having received her share of the benefits, didn't hesitate to sign the letter of forgiveness. The police gave a few more warnings and had Lily sign a guarantee before finally releasing her But the moment we stepped out of the police station, Lily stopped crying and glared at us.

She let out a string of insults toward me. "Eva, I knew all along that you only care about money. Do you think that Leo's company is worth less than that?"

"You've never loved Leal You've been after his money from the start! You're just a gold digger. How dare you stand beside Leo? You're only making him a laughingstock!"

Leonard stood behind her, saying nothing. His expression was unreadable as he watched me. I looked back at him and gave a bitter smile
