Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 154

Chapter 154 The Greens 

Leonard and I just stared at each other. 

Honestly speaking, Alisa’s plan was very convincing. If we were to work together, our 

investigation might get a lot easier for us. Not to mention, she hated Uncle Keenan’s guts as 

well. 

We discussed the matter for a short while after that. In the end, we decided to work with Alisa for the time being, since we weren’t losing out on anything anyway. 

Leonard looked a little unhappy. “Are you saying that I should continue selling my body?” 

I just shoved him out of my room with all my might. “Alisa doesn’t even like you at all. What makes you think you’re selling your body?” 

Leonard–must have remembered what Alisa had said about him. He left my room while looking 

quite annoyed. 

At that moment, Jill called me on the phone. “Let’s meet up. I need to talk to you about something.” 

She sounded quite relaxed and cheerful. It seemed like she had found new clues. 

After that, I made my way to the Popes‘ restaurant hurriedly. Jill looked a lot happier than 

before. 

“Over here, Eva! Hurry up!” 

Once I reached Jill’s table, I saw two chocolate milkshakes there. The rest of the table was occupied by documents. 

“Look! I’ve uncovered all of this information during my time here! Isn’t this great? 

I read the contents shown on the documents. What I saw shocked me to the core. 

Jill was able to dig up information on the Greens projects which had taken place in Melgrove over the past few years. She even highlighted a few projects which had ended in failure. 

“That uncle of yours is useless. He was on the verge of bankruptcy before he took over your family’s assets,” Jill said as she pointed at the documents. 

“These projects are enough to cripple him financially. If not for your family’s tragedy, he wouldn’t have gotten to where he is today. He has far too many projects on his hands right now. As you can tell, he’s bitten off a lot more than he can chew. There’s barely any money in his company’s account right now, which is why he’s sought Leonard out.” 

I picked up one of the documents. It was true that Keenan’s projects were in big trouble. I could tell that he wasn’t a good boss at all. He had made the wrong decision several times in a row, after all. 

CIGUR 154 The Greens 

Then again, Uncle Keenan was pretty lucky. His company achieved a new level of success thanks to my family’s human resources and funds. 

Jill pointed at the dossier folders on a few individuals. “These people used to work at Keenan Corporation. Later on, they found jobs in my family’s company. 

“Keenan is the type who values familial connections more than one’s capabilities and skill. Those who are skilled and capable end up leaving his company because of his biased nature. 

“This person is the current designer of this project. Everyone knows about the time when he got fired by Keenan. They all claim that the Greens are ungrateful and unreasonable.” 

I picked up the designer’s dossier folder. It was a person whom I was familiar with–Michael Copeland. He used to be the design director at Keenan Corporation. He was very skilled, not to mention he had a good personality too. The reason why he was able to work for Keenan for that long was due to his exceptional capabilities. 

Keenan really was a fool for dismissing Michael. 

“I guess you have no idea that this project’s cut is worth 800 million dollars, at least. I really can’t believe that Keenan has given up on such a valuable gem just to appease his rotten. connections.” 

While Jill complained about Keenan’s foolishness, I, for one, knew that Keenan didn’t fire Michael purely just to fill his pockets with money 

Also, Michael and Randall were pretty close friends. What if Michael had insider knowledge all this time? 

When I saw Randall’s dossier folder, my mind went blank for a split second.
