Chapter 156 Inheritance

Alisa's last sentence shocked me and Leonard to the core.

I lowered my gaze while thinking about what she had just said. No matter how much of a

bastard Keenan was, there was no way he'd go so far as to harm me, right?

But Leonard seemed to think differently. His expression was already thunderous at that point.

Alisa didn't stay in the room for long. In the end, she left with a dark expression.

Meanwhile, I kept replaying Alisa's words in my mind. It seemed that Keenan desperately needed money to the point that he was willing to resort to underhanded methods. As for my fund....

I turned to look at Leonard. "You're pretty amazing, huh? I can't believe you can replace clues just to make your lie seem more convincing."

"That's not the crucial part. What's most important is that you need to be more careful now."

It was rare for Leonard to look so serious. He seemed a little terrified as well.

I just looked at him in confusion. "Why?"

'Because of the fund."

Leonard's answer left me even more befuddled.

He sighed before elaborating, "Keenan wants money. Right now, you're the one with a fund under your name. More importantly, Randall might have access to it. That means you're in danger now, aren't you?

"With his clues on Randall's whereabouts as well as your identity as the fund's owner, Keenan will be able to get his hands on the money."

I thought for a few more moments. Finally, I understood what Leonard meant.

It was true that I'd be able to help resolve the Greens' financial crisis if I had the fund's money. After all, the Greens needed the money the most at this time. A few of their projects needed their own capital flow in order to be launched. But my money would never go to Keenan even if my life was endangered.

"You're my husband. Even if I die, you'll still become my primary heir."

Leonard smacked me on the head

as soon as my words fell.

"Stop talking about dying! Can't you be serious for once? It's true that you're my wife, but have you forgotten what you previously told Alisa?"

Chau The intendance

I stared at Leonard in disbelief, my eyes as wide as dinner plates.

It was true that I had told Alisa that Leonard and I were about to get a divorce. But right now, she knew that we weren't able to do so for the time being "Could it be that Uncle Keenan thinks we're about to file for a divorce?"

Leonard nodded glumly. "If you file a divorce with me, you're left with no direct relatives i your family. Tell me, who'll be the one inheriting your fund if you die?"

I hung my head low mutely. In that case, Keenan, who was my uncle, would be my primary heir to the fund.

There were only a few people left in the Green family. Even if Keenan wasn't my heir, the position would still go to either Jasper or Alisa.

"You have no idea just how badly Keenan wants me and Alisa to be together at all times every day! You should know what he's trying to hint at, right? He wants us to file for a divorce as soon as possible!"

The more Leonard spoke, the angrier he became. I quickly appeased him the best I could.

If this truly was Keenan's goal, then I'd have to admit that he had a pretty good plan. Since Leonard and I would be filing for a divorce, my money would go to Keenan once I died. Harmon Group would go to Alisa after she and Leonard got married. This meat Keenan would emerge as the final victor.

However, I just shook my head when I remembered what things were like now.

"Since he's already ordered Alisa to seduce you, I don't think he'll do anything to me. He

doesn't know how much money there is in the fund, after all."

"But Keenan definitely thinks there's a lot of money in the fund. Otherwise, why didn't your father tell your mother what the exact sum was?"

Since the money was considered my father's private assets, that meant it wouldn't be

classified as the joint assets he and my mother shared.

Then again, Dad wasn't that type of person. I chose to believe in his integrity.

Leonard took my hand while sounding terse. "I told you before that I would never divorce you. We'll live happily ever after.

"Still, you have to be careful, Eva. Have you forgotten how your dad died?"

My heart throbbed at that question.

Dad had died in an accident. If I were to meet the same fate after my divorce... I dared not follow that trail of thought.
