Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147 Rivaella Vargas 

“What are you doing here?” 

Alisa glared at me impatiently. She even tightened her clothes around her. 

I was pretty envious of her figure, so I couldn’t help but glance at her. Alisa backed away from me while watching me warily. 

“Don’t you have your own apartment, Eva?” 

“But this place is my home too. Oh dear, what should I do? I own half of the penthouse, after all.” 

I shoved Alisa away in a fit of irritation. Leonard quickly released his grip on the doorway in order to let me enter the penthouse. 

Then, I turned around to look at Alisa. “Since you showed up at my home in that outfit, does that mean you’re going to do what I think you’re going to do?” 

Ever since I found out about Alisa’s tendency to act innocent, I started putting on an act as well. 

I realized that Alisa would do her best to destroy everything that I cared about. Seriously, what was up with her tendency to compete with me? 

It was all thanks to my sarcastic words that Alisa decided to not overstay her welcome. After all, she wasn’t shameless enough to hang around. 

After watching Alisa enter the elevator, Leonard closed the door immediately. “Eva, I put my life on the line just to defend our home from getting breached!” 

I stared at him, completely speechless. “Yeah, I saw that. The thing is, our home almost got breached. 

Leonard pulled me into a strong hug. He kept sniffing me as well. 

“Why do you smell of disinfectant? Did you go to the hospital?” 

I didn’t expect Leonard’s sense of smell to be that keen. I quickly glossed it over, saying that the airport I was in was being disinfected. Of course, Leonard didn’t doubt my answer. 

When I brought Rivaella’s incident up, he fell silent. 

“Randall hasn’t shown up in so many years. Not to mention, Alisa is adamant that Randall will never appear ever again. Something smells fishy here. Right after she investigated the whole thing, she came up with a verdict that Randall would never have gotten a hold of your fund. That’s why I forged the evidence.” 

Over the past few days, Leonard had busied himself with forging the evidence rather than working. There were many personal funds being set up in Eucratia. For the time being, the Greens wouldn’t know if the evidence posed was legitimate. 

This was the value of my existence as well as the problem which frustrated Alisa the most. 

What frustrated me, on the other hand, was the fact that’I had to pick Rivaella up tomorrow. It had been many years since we last met, so I had no idea if she still recognized me, or if she realized that I’d be the one picking her up. 

Rivaella had been away from the country for so many years, after all. So much had changed over the course of time. I had no idea just how much of her childhood she could still remember, 

I even changed into a white shirt and a pair of jeans before heading to the airport. That way, I’d look the same as I did when I was still a university student. 

Chapter 147 Rivaella Vargas 

2/2 

The last time I had seen Rivaella was during my university days. Hopefu this getup. 

she could still recognize me in 

What I didn’t expect was that Alisa would approach Rivaella right away the moment the latter exited the airport while dragging her suitcase behind her. 

Both of them started chatting with each other animatedly. Clearly, they had known each other for a long time. In fact, they seemed to be friendly with each other. 

Alisa and Rivaella were shocked to see me approaching them. Then, Alisa rolled her eyes at me. 

“Let’s go, Riva. Just ignore her.”
