Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Pick Me Up 

“500 million dollars?” 

My mouth widened in shock. Was Alisa some kind of fairy? How could her wedding gifts be 500 million dollars? 

Jill closed my mouth with her hand and said, “The Green family are too greedy, so they haven’t found a suitable match for her yet. 

“Anyway, it’s clear why she wanted to seduce Leonard. I’m sure if she becomes his wife, her assets will be worth around 600 million dollars, right? 

“So, you should rest well and secure your source of wealth. Don’t forget to give me a discount for designing the restaurant previously.” 

She took out two bottles of medicine from her bag. “Julian told me to give you this.” 

After taking the medicine from her, I felt rather uncomfortable. 

Though I didn’t interact with the Pope family often, they treated me well. 

“Alright, don’t be too touched. Remember to return to the hospital for a checkup every week. You’ll have to survive in order to continue your investigation. 

“My father told me before that the incident that happened in your family was quite suspicious, but he didn’t know what was going on because he wasn’t working in the same industry.” 

Then, Jill took a piece of broccoli before placing it down unhappily. 

“Since you worked with Harmon Group before, you’d know that it’s impossible to stop the capital flow abruptly. Something must have gone on before that.” 

“I met your father in the past. He seems like a smart person, so he would’ve figured out the mistake quickly. There must have been a spy in his company.” 

I nodded–there really was a spy in the company, and it was probably Randall. 

But, why did he betray my father? 

Randall was in charge of the accounts in my family. If something went wrong, the first person to be interrogated was him. 

After recalling that his wife and child were already overseas, I started feeling worried. 

Did he know that something bad was going to happen to him back then? Did he create an escape route for his child, like what my mother did for me? 

“Thank you, Jill. Your kindness…” 

“Repay me by living a long and healthy life.” 

Jill kicked me underneath the table and took out a file 

“I know you’re busy, but my family is building a headquarters in Melgrove. You have to help me design the building; I don’t care. 

“When the time comes, I’ll help you find out about the situation in the Green family. After all, your uncle’s 

company is thriving in that place! 

“Oh, yes. Charge me the lowest fee possible. Otherwise, you’ll get it from me!”

I smiled and placed more food on her plate. 

Though Jill had a bad temper and was rather blunt, she was quite cute. 

Besides, she mentioned that there were some managers who quit my uncle’s company and went to her 

hotel instead. She offered to introduce them to me. 

After thinking about the management of the Green family in the past, I felt very agitated. 

The investigation would proceed more smoothly if they were willing to tell me the truth. 

Both of us continued eating and talking about work. 

Soon, a few hours passed. It was already nighttime when I received a call from Leonard. 

“Pick me up, Eva.” 

Leonard’s voice was slurred and he seemed drunk.
