Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179 Mutual Help 

“Wow, Uncle Keenan. You’re a control freak. Do I have to report to you my location every second of the day?” I pulled my clothes together again, attempting to leave the rooftop. 

Randall’s spot wasn’t all that concealed. Luckily, it was dark then. He would’ve stayed hidden if Keenan didn’t look his way. However, the latter blocked my way. “Where are you going?” 

“To sleep, of course! I’m not a prisoner; I’m allowed to do whatever I want!” I deliberately slapped his arm away. If this persisted any longer, he would realize we weren’t the only ones. 

there. 

As expected, Keenan scanned the rooftop suspiciously. “Were you alone?” 

“Duh! Leonard is back at the hotel.” 

He continued blocking the door. “Is this how you speak to an elder, Eva?” His tone was chilling, seemingly tinged with anger. “Don’t assume you can do whatever you like just because you have Leonard. You’re in my territory! I can kill you if I want to!” 

A murder intent appeared in his gaze, prompting me to retreat a step. I sniggered and said, Yeah, this is just like Jasper’s situation. Did you honestly think he could survive without money in a foreign country? 

“Do you seriously plan to murder me? Think about the consequences you’ll face when you kill Mrs. Harmon!” 

I pretended to be fearless because I had Leonard’s backing and stared at him. If he were to kill me here, it would truly be an injustice. Even if Randall came over to help, we would still be exposed. 

Then, I saw from the corner of my eye that Randall had quietly walked off. I stealthily waved at him and signaled him to stay put. 

At the mention of Jasper, Keenan’s gaze turned menacing. “What do you know, Eva?” 

“I know you need money.” I continued flatly, “You want to use the money from my fund to cover your son’s debts. Now that Leonard has called off the collaboration, you shifted your target to me. Am I right?” 

Keenan was visibly startled before turning furious. “That geezer actually gave you all the money! I knew he wouldn’t be penniless. In the end, he gave me a small amount and had the audacity to feel sorry for your family!” 

He paced back and forth on the rooftop, fuming. Then, he suddenly arrived before me and grabbed my shoulders viciously. “Is the money in Manovia? Is that why you went abroad back then? Huh? How much did you get? Tell me, how much did you get 

“Oh, Keenan. What makes you think I’ll give you my money? Are you crazy, or am I?”

He looked like he was intent on pushing to the edge of the rooftop, and I flashed him a nonchalant smile. “Push me, and all the money goes to Leonard. Quit dreaming, Keenan!” 

His extended hand stopped mid–air and was quickly withdrawn.
