Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 Scheme 

After Michael and I exchanged contact information with each other, I went to visit Jill next. 

Leonard and I didn’t have any connections in this city, but the Popes, on the other hand, were an entirely different story. Their chain restaurants had taken over a few regions so far, so it was easier for Jill to dig up information. 

Soon, Jill’s subordinates reported back to her. “There are two people who had ‘Mills‘ as their last name in the audit department. Based on his age, the man named Jedidiah Mills seems to fit the bill. He’s the head of the department. 

“He’s also the one who signed the approval for Keenan Corporation’s last few projects. Also, he seems to be on good terms with Keenan.” 

I looked a little doubtful as my eyes raked over Jedidiah’s information. How was it possible for others to not know about the Greens‘ amicable relationship with a man this influential? 

Suddenly, I noticed a woman named Danika Atkinson being listed as Jedidiah’s spouse. Why did her name sound so familiar? 

“Danika Atkinson… What’s her job? Is she in the same department as him?” 

“Danika? You never heard of her, Eva? She attended the seminar last year as an expert in kidney–related diseases. Her posters were everywhere back then. She’s a famous doctor in Melgrove, you know.” 

Jill fished out her phone and searched Danika’s name on the search engine. I had a bad feeling when I saw Danika’s area of specialization. 

The culprit who killed my father was afflicted with uremia. The thing was, he was already in the terminal stage, so he didn’t have much longer to live. He already died before a proper sentence was issued to him. He didn’t have any assets under his name, so it was even more impossible to demand compensation from him. 

In the end, the insurance company paid my family. The driver never got into an altercation with my father in the past. Heck, both of them had never met each other before. Hence, the police didn’t classify the case as vengeful murder. 

There was once when I had thought about the possibility of my father driving too quickly because he might have dug up information on Randall’s latest whereabouts. But now, I was finally able to start connecting the dots between the events. 

If everything was related to Keenan, then… everything would definitely make sense. 

Leonard called me before I could piece everything together. “Eva… c–come… come home…” 

It seemed that he was all tongue–tied at the moment, for he could barely articulate. 

Chap 159 Scheme 

“Go home? Where are you right now?” 

“Leo, I’ll take you back to your room… Hey! Keep your hands to yourself! My dad’s still here, you know!” 

Alisa’s voice boomed at that moment. She had just hinted to me that they were at home. 

Jill stared at me with wide eyes. She looked like she wanted to scream, “I knew it!” in my face. 

I knew that she didn’t trust Alisa at all. Honestly, I didn’t know if I should trust her too. All I knew was that I had to go home at this time. 

Jill decided to drive me back to the villa because she wanted to watch the drama. 

Once I reached home, I saw Leonard and Alisa struggling with each other at the stairwell. A few maids had already helped Leonard to his room, yet he refused to enter. 

Alisa looked pretty anxious at that point. “Leo, let me help you into your room! What are you doing?”
