Chapter 155 Watch Out
There was no way Keenan would let a threat like Randall continue to exist. He’d definitely track him down relentlessly.
Besides, Randall would mail some of the evidence to Keenan every year. Even if the evidence was mailed from an overseas address, there was no way Randall wouldn’t be able to avoid leaving traces of his activities overseas.
If Keenan couldn’t uncover a single thing about Randall, that could only mean that Randall was hiding somewhere safe. In fact, he was able to hide his own address and identity.
There was a chance that Randall was hiding somewhere in a foreign country. Or… He could be right under Keenan’s nose. He’d just have to mail the evidence overseas and have his contact
mail it back to Keenan.
The thought of Rivaella potentially being involved in this hidden scheme and having insider. knowledge of her father’s whereabouts made my breath hitch in my throat.
Now that Rivaella was back in the country and under Keenan’s watchful eye, it’d be difficult for me to get closer to her. In the end, I’d still have to rely on Alisa.
“Why don’t you meet up with these people? Perhaps you might find more clues. They used to work at Keenan Corporation, after all. What if they know something about the incident?”
Jill showed me the dossier folders she had on the employees of her company. After glancing through them, I shook my head.
“There’s no need to see them for now. They aren’t the core employees, so they might not know anything at all. I’ll have to discuss this turn of events with Leonard later on. We’re now working with Alisa.”
“What? Don’t tell me you’re planning on giving Leonard to Alisa!” Jill stared at me as though I was an idiot.
It was then I summarized everything that had happened so far to her. She laughed so hard that her stomach hurt when I told her about Alisa not liking Leonard at all.
“See? Not everyone’s as blind as a bat like us! At least I’m better than you. I cut my losses just in time by snuffing out my feelings for him. You, on the other hand, got the short end of the stick”
I just looked at Jill, not knowing what to say. I had no idea why she looked so happy. She seemed to have forgotten that she was head over heels for Leonard back in our university days.
Then again, Jilly was right. I was the one who had married Leonard in the end. By then, Jill no longer had feelings for him.
Once I got back to Uncle Keenan’s villa, Alisa had already begun chatting with Leonard in his

room.
All the maids seemed to have a tacit agreement going on. As long as Alisa was in Leonard’s room, they would never disturb them no matter what.
When I headed upstairs, one of the maids even reported loudly, “Ms. Eva, welcome home!”
Her voice was so loud that it hurt my ears. It was as though she was worried that Alisa and Leonard couldn’t overhear her.
Alisa opened the door, clearly displeased. “There’s no need to welcome her home. She’s not a guest.”
After that, she strode back into Leonard’s room. But this time, she didn’t close the door.
I knew right away that Leonard and Alisa wished to speak with me. Hence, I headed upstairs immediately.
“Did you get your hands on any clues?”
Since Alisa mentioned that she wanted to help me, she’d have to show her sincerity.
Alisa closed the door. Once she was sure that no one was outside, she said, “I saw Keenan’s bodyguard hanging around the apartment Riva’s staying in. He must be monitoring her.
