Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181 Something Is Off 

The voice on the other end hesitated for a moment before responding seriously, “Eva, are you asking for money now? You’re already married to Leonard. Why are you still concerned about 

the fund?” 

“What do you expect? This is money my parents gave me!” I shouted in frustration, and my voice grew louder. “You’ve been avoiding me for years just to keep the money from me, haven’t you? Let me be clear. Without me, you won’t get the money either! The fund belongs 

to me!” 

After a brief pause, I continued, “If you don’t give me the money, I’ll report you when you return to the country. You’ll get into legal trouble, and I can still claim the fund!” I wasn’t sure if that was allowed abroad, but I figured it was worth a shot. 

As expected, there was silence on the other end. After a minute, he sighed. “Eva, I watched you grow up. Why would I want your money? I’ll see you soon. Stay in Melgrove and don’t leave.” With that, he hurriedly ended the call. 

I couldn’t help but smile. Keenan was a terrible actor. 

If Randall were the one calling, he’d have asked about Rivaella. How could he not care about his daughter and only be concerned about me, an outsider? 

Reflecting on his tone earlier, I couldn’t help but laugh coldly. To get the money, he probably even used a voice changer. Little did he know, Randall’s voice was ruined in that fire. 

As I thought about Randall’s situation, I took a deep breath. 

Fortunately, Keenan hadn’t realized that Randall was in the country. If he knew Randall was right under his nose, Rivaella might not be safe either. 

I texted Leonard about what had just happened, and he called me right away. “What’s going on?” 

I went over the whole thing, and Leonard fell silent. In fact, it was quite simple to explain. 

Apart from Keenan, no one else would want to test me. The nonexistent fund had thrown him 

off balance. 

Moreover, Alisa also mentioned that Jasper was pressing hard, so Keenan might act out of desperation. 

“I just met with Alisa. She feels something is off Leonard’s voice grew more serious and slightly hesitant. “Keenan implied that she doesn’t need to seduce me anymore, and I don’t have to get a divorce. Alisa is only responsible for the company’s project coordination, but she thinks Keenan is planning something big. She’s still looking into it.” 

My heart skipped a beat. Knowing that Alisa was aware of my condition, I asked in a raspy 

voice, “Why?” 

“I don’t know. She just said we need to be cautious,” he said. 

Hearing Leonard’s words, I felt a bit more at case. He probably still didn’t know the truth. As long as Alisa remained on our side, things would be much easier. 

However, I wasn’t sure why they suddenly decided against us divorcing. Without a divorce, Alisa could never become Mrs. Harmon, and Keenan would never get his hands on my fund.
