Chapter 152 Randall Isn’t Dead
It turned out that Alisa had overheard Keenan’s plan when she was about to fly abroad back
then.
It was true that Keenan planned on framing my family. Besides, Alisa had met Randall a few times, so she became friends with Rivaella.
But Alisa never cared about the aftermath once she left the country. Since Rivaella trusted her, Keenan issued Alisa the task of transferring Rivaella’s living expenses to her every month. That was how Alisa got closer to Rivaella.
“Riva didn’t steal. Keenan got someone to frame her for those crimes just so he could force her to return to the country. I know you’re looking for Randall. I don’t care what you’re planning to do to him as long as I can defeat Keenan once and for all.”
I didn’t really believe everything Alisa told me. Once Leonard got back, I told him everything I heard so far.
Leonard just massaged his temple, feeling quite troubled. Then, he passed me his phone. An investigative report on Alisa was shown on the screen.
“I already had a weird feeling about Alisa, so I had my men investigate her history abroad. It turns out that something really is off about her.
“The photos on her social media page are fake. She was most likely putting on an act for her father and brother. It turns out that Alisa was busy with her own plans this whole time.”
Alisa had been studying at a university as her alter ego, Christine. She even obtained double master’s degrees in one go.
It turned out that Alisa’s master’s degrees were related to business management and psychology. No wonder Leonard couldn’t fool her at all.
“Also, Alisa has already established her own company overseas. She didn’t just return to the country under her father’s coercion–she must be planning to launch an attack on him as well.
It was difficult for Leonard’s men to investigate Alisa’s past overseas. Still, they managed to get their hands on information regarding her alter ego.
Christine was an extremely outstanding woman who was known for her beauty and her intellect. Her company was doing quite well on its own as well.
Still, I dared not trust Alisa just yet.
“She’s a schemer. I think we should just wait and see. I don’t have the guts to trust the words spoken by a Green.”
Although my last name was Green as well, Keenan’s family was completely different from
mine.
Leonard agreed with me as well. He thought we needed to think it through before deciding if we should trust Alisa.
Just when we were trying to come up with ways to probe Alisa for more information, she knocked on my door once again.
“Leo, I was just looking for you! I just opened a bottle of red wine. Do you want to come to my room instead?”
Alisa sashayed into my room while wearing a sexy nightgown. After that, she closed the door hurriedly behind her. Then, she pulled out her phone before sending me more than a dozen photos in one go.
“This is the evidence Randall has given to Keenan. It’s proof that they worked together to embezzle the construction funds that were meant for your father. There are also some transaction records included in the photos.
“I can’t steal the actual documents for you. All I can do is snap the photos for you. A few of them are quite blurry. Keenan is too vigilant and wary at the moment. I’ll find another chance to take better photos of them. For now, I can only provide you with these photos.”
I zoomed in on the photos. True to Alisa’s word, some of them consisted of contracts and documents that showed Randall’s and Keenan’s signatures. There were even photos of checks showing the down payments.
“The reason why I said Randall will never appear is because Rivaella is still being held hostage by Keenan. But he’s not dead as well. As long as Keenan gives Rivaella money, Randall will mail a small portion of the original evidence to Keenan every year after the New Year holidays.”
