Lisa had already known Talbot's plan when she went abroad.
He was indeed plotting against my family and she had bumped into Galen Brown a few times. She even became friends with Geneva Brown.
But once she went abroad, she stopped meddling in these affairs. Nevertheless, Geneva trusted her and asked Talbot to transfer money to Geneva every month, which only brought them closer.
"Geneva didn't steal anything. My dad set her up. Just to force her to be back."
"I know you're after Galen Brown. I don't care what you're going to do with him. I juts want to take Talbot down."
I didn't fully trust her until Clyde came back, and I spilled everything to him.
He seemed to be puzzled and gave me his phone. There was an investigation report about Lisa.
"I felt something was off for her and asked someone to do the investigation. Sure enough, there was something fishy."
"Those photos of her online are all for show. Probably just to keep her dad and brother in the loop. She's been anything but idle abroad."
Lisa had been using the identity 'Kristen' to pursue dual master's degrees in Business and Psychology at a foreign university, explaining why Clyde couldn't fool her.
"Moreover, she already owns a business overseas. Now she’s back. Not only is she pressed by her father, but she also wants to take her revenge."
The investigation conducted abroad was not easy, but Clyde’s people managed to uncover the fake identity of 'Kristen.'
She was a formidable woman. An embodiment of both beauty and brains running a successful company overseas.
But I could not trust her.
"She is so scheming. I think we need to be cautious."
"I can't trust anyone from the Crawford family."
We might share the same surname and roots, but Talbot is far more different from me.
