Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)
Chapter 134

Chapter 134 Project is in Debt

"Why?" Leonard asked instinctively. I grew anxious after hearing that.

The amount of money involved in the case back then was huge. The police couldn't replace Randall, so why would Alisa know that he wouldn't appear in public again? "D-Didn't he commit a crime? Since he did something illegal, he wouldn't dare to appear in public again."

Alisa sounded guilty; this made me rather suspicious.

All this while, Keenan had never worked with my family's company before. As such, he wasn't supposed to know who Randall was.

Besides, Alisa had always been living overseas. How did she know what happened at home?

I narrowed my eyes. Meanwhile, Leonard coughed softly.

"Are you sure about that? Eva has been wanting a divorce nowadays, and she wants me to split my assets with her.

"If Randall decides to help her, I'll lose a great amount of money."

"Are you really getting a divorce?" Alisa asked excitedly.

On the other hand, Leonard grunted noncommittally.

Then, she let out a sigh of relief. "Don't worry about it. No one will help her. Just keep a close eye on her.

"Oh, it's getting late now. I need my beauty sleep. Good night!" Alisa hurriedly hung up.

After that, Leonard and I looked at each other meaningfully.

"Let's stop probing or we'll raise their suspicions," Leonard said lowly. He stared at the phone screen quietly.

I felt rather conflicted.

Randall was very loyal to my family all these years, and he was also my father's close friend.

Moreover, he watched me grow up, so I didn't believe that he would do something bad.

But, how did Alisa know him? Besides, why was she so certain that he wouldn't appear in public again?

"Do you think Randall went overseas? Or, is he..."

I made a slicing-neck motion with my hand.

Apart from those two scenarios, I couldn't imagine what happened to him.

"He isn't overseas; I checked on him previously. There are no records about his whereabouts and the police couldn't replace him. "However, his wife and child went to Manovia. They probably went there one after the other."

While he spoke, his expression seemed resentful.

I ignored the look on his face. "What should we do now?"

Leonard stroked my hair and played with my earlobe.

"Just don't do anything and watch this project. Rest well.

"I'll give Alisa a chance to seduce me. You should take a break tomorrow."

"Huh?" I didn't understand what he wanted to do, and he didn't give a further explanation. The next morning, I slept until I received a call from Jill

"Ms. Green, why are you still sleeping in the afternoon? Don't you have a job to go to?" When I checked the time, I realized it was 4:00 pm. I haven't had such a good sleep in ages. "I asked for leave today. What's the matter?"

"I found something about the Green family's situation. Meet me outside. I'll wait for you nearby."

After hearing that, I perked up. As expected, something bad happened to the Green family.

Once I took a quick shower, I hurriedly went to a nearby restaurant.

Jill looked at the menu in disgust. "Though you live in a luxurious neighborhood, the food at this restaurant tastes terrible."

"I'll treat you to a meal near your house one day. Tell me what you investigated first, alright?"

Since Jill was from a wealthy family, she was picky about her food. After rolling her eyes at me, she hurriedly took out some documents.

"A few months ago, the Green family lost 300 million dollars from their company. Your cousin, Jasper, lost more than 300 million dollars from gambling overseas.

"As such, the Green family started to plan an arranged marriage for Alisa. I heard that they demanded 500 million dollars as a wedding gift."
