Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145 Did You Two Make Up 

When I was bored in the hospital, I’d get Mom’s diary and flip through it. 

In fact, Mom had her doubts about Randall’s betrayal, and she harbored suspicion about the timing of his wife and daughter’s departure right after I left. 

I left the country due to cancer. What about them? Given the relationship between our families, we could have left for abroad together, but not once had Randall brought up his wife and daughter’s departure. It was so suspicious. 

Randall had called my dad before disappearing, but we had no idea about the conversation that ensued. The driver who crashed into my dad and killed him was equally suspicious–his wife and kid received a large sum of money after the accident. 

However, Mom’s investigation only discovered that the money was from a charity organization, which made sense. However, she could not help but wonder why the organization picked the Vargas family over the other more deserving and financially needy families. 

Everything appeared fishy, but Mom could not continue her investigations after she fell sick from cancer.

I was in the midst of getting discharged when Emma called.

I had been reading the casual work chat full of gossip almost daily. Alisa was not exactly a lovable character, or perhaps, that was exactly the persona she intended to build. 

Alisa never spent time currying the favors of people whom she had nothing to do with. All her focus was on Leonard. 

Everyone referred to her as a little bitch who tried to seduce her cousin’s husband, but no one dared say it aloud since Leonard himself did not openly stop Alisa’s advances. Not only that, he was infamous for his multiple affairs. In the past, he would change partners every quarter. 

After the hoo–ha between Leonard and Lily, no one could be sure that Alisa wasn’t on her way to becoming the second Lily. 

“Say something! I thought you made up with Leonard. Why do you not care about him and Alisa? You can’t be thinking of a divorce still…”
