Chapter 151 Silly
Gone was the smug expression on Alisa’s face. Instead, she looked extremely serious.
I just stared at Alisa quizzically. Honestly, I didn’t know what on earth she was thinking.
Alisa leaned against the bathroom counter while staring at me. “You should know that my family has always been sexist, right?”
I nodded. That was what Uncle Keenan was like he treated Jasper a lot better than how he treated Alisa.
At the very least, the Greens were quite well-off. I had always thought that Alisa led a pretty decent life. For one, her life was definitely better compared to the young women who came from ordinary families. After all, she got to wear nice clothes and lived a pampered life as a young rich lady.
Alisa played with the water while saying casually, “Keenan was mean to me and my mom since I was a little girl. He had always wanted two sons, but my mom couldn’t give birth anymore.
“Something happened to my mom when she gave birth to me. After that, Keenan was diagnosed to have sperm-related issues. It’d be difficult for him to impregnate other women. He had been bedding countless women over the years. Serves him right for his inability to put a baby in them!”
Alisa sounded malicious. Even her gaze became sharp.
Only then did I know that my aunt, Sally Anderson, had taken her own life abroad due to depression. That was why Alisa rarely returned to the country-she didn’t want to see Keenan and Jasper at all.
“You must have forgotten what Jasper’s like, right? Whatever. He has all the qualities a typical jerk of a scion possesses. I had someone lure him into picking up gambling. Both he and Keenan are the murderers who took my mom’s life.”
In the past, Aunt Sally had witnessed Uncle Keenan bringing different women home on separate occasions. Every day, she was constantly berated by her husband and her son. That was how she was afflicted with depression.
Before Aunt Sally died, she wished to see Jasper one last time. But Jasper refused to see her because he thought of her as an embarrassment. In fact, he wanted her to die as soon as possible. Since both Uncle Keenan and Jasper had betrayed Aunt Sally, she couldn’t handle the reality anymore. In the end, she chose to jump off the building right in front of Alisa, thus claiming her own life.
There was a hint of sadness in Alisa’s eyes. But rage and hatred wer

emotions swirling like a storm in her eyes.
“Since mu
mom’s dead, no one cares about me anymore. That’s why I decided to not come back to this place ever again. In any case, Keenan has to give me money.
“But I didn’t expect him to want to marry me off! Do you know what kind of men he’s been introducing me to so far? They’re either old geezers who are over 80 years old, or gay men
who want to trick me into marrying them so that I can give birth to their children! Keenan’s perfectly capable of selling me off in exchange for money!”
Suddenly, Alisa took off her dress, revealing a horrible scar on her back. “I refused to marry any of them, so Keenan whipped me with his belt. A few of my scars have already healed so far.
After that, she put on her dress. “It’s time for Keenan to reap what he’s sowed after all this time.”
Having witnessed Alisa in her most vulnerable moment, I had a feeling that I never truly got to know the real her all this time. She had always presented herself as a rich, spoiled, and materialistic young lady, after all. To think that her past was filled with this much sorrow…
“Is that why you want me and Leonard to get divorced? Is it so that you can marry him?”
I didn’t understand what the so-called deal Alisa was proposing meant. But she most likely held the key to the truth that I wanted.
Alisa just shook her head. “I don’t want Leonard. At first, I thought Leonard was a scumbag who slept around. But I also thought that it’d be a good thing if he slept with me, for I’d definitely get to boost my social standing.
“But it seems that I’m wrong for assuming who Leonard really is. He loves you, after all. He thought he was pretty good at pretending to be in love with me.
“The thing is, I’ve slept with a lot more men my whole life. I can easily tell who’s interested in me and who’s not.”
My jaw went slack as I stared at Alisa. For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Alisa was definitely an expert in mind games, for I couldn’t understand the things she had done so far. Alisa just twitched her mouth impatiently. “You really are silly, Eva. I want to propose a deal with you.
you and Leonard cooperate with me and help me gain control of the Green family, I’ll help you track down Randall. What do you think?”
