When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 155

Talbot couldn't let Galen Brown remain a looming threat. He was determined to dig deeper.

He would mail the evidence each year. There should be traces left even if they were mailed from abroad.

If Talbot couldn't trace anything, it meant Galen Brown was exceptionally good at concealing his location and identity.

It was possible he was living abroad, or maybe he was just among us, yet we were unable to reach out to him. He gave them to someone overseas and asked the person to send them back.

When I thought about how Geneva might have been part of it and knew some of the secrets, my heart practically leaped into my throat.

Now that she was back, she was under Talbot's watchful eye. Getting close to her wouldn't be easy. We'd have to rely on Lisa.

"Why don't you meet with some of my family's old associates? Maybe they know something."

"They all worked for the Crawford family. Could they know something useful?"

Eliana pulled out a few profiles, but I shook my head after a quick glance.

"No. They weren't core members. It’s unlikely they'd know anything substantial."

"I'll head back and discuss with Clyde. We've teamed up with Lisa now."

"What? You're not thinking of stepping down, are you?"

Eliana looked at me as if I'd lost my mind.

I quickly filled her in on the situation, including Lisa's lack of interest in Clyde, which had her laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

"See, not everyone's as blind as we are."

"I had a bit more sense, at least. I cut my losses early. You, on the other hand..."

I was speechless and could not figure out exactly what made her laugh. She seemed to have forgotten her own college infatuation with Clyde.
