Chapter 153 Working Together
I stared at the photos,
finding it hard to believe Alisa’s version of events.
work with us, then?”
“How are you planning to work with
Since Alisa had already shown us the evidence, she’d definitely want to work with us.
“Let’s collaborate on the latest project. It’s true that we can’t drag it out any longer. This project is also the contribution that I’ll be providing to Keenan’s company.”
Alisa didn’t bother keeping her plan a secret. The reason why she asked Leonard to come along was to snatch the project from the others.
Since two companies were collaborating, it’d only make sense for someone to be appointed as the project manager. There was no way Keenan would shoulder the responsibility. Unfortunately, Jasper wasn’t in the country at the moment. This left Alisa as the only candidate.
However, Keenan couldn’t trust Alisa as well.
“Keenan’s a sly fox. He won’t give up on his plans until the very last moment. I tried bringing the project up a few times, yet he refused to let me participate in it. He’s obviously waiting for his son to return to the country and take over the role of the project manager. It’s just a shame for him that Jasper isn’t coming back at all.”
Alisa lounged against the chair lazily. “The only reason why Jasper’s living a leisurely life overseas is all thanks to Keenan giving him money from time to time. But what if he runs out of money?
“Mr. Harmon, as long as you agree to help me secure the project, you’ll be able to obtain a big fat slice of the pie in the end.”
Alisa even got the profit chart figured out. Clearly, she was fully prepared for this moment.
Leonard thought for a moment, his gaze lowered. Then, he shook his head. “Even if you can become the project manager, you’re still unable to take over your dad’s company. Your dad isn’t dying any time soon.”
That was what I thought as well. Even if Uncle Keenan couldn’t sire any children, he wouldn’t be dying anytime soon. In that case, Alisa wouldn’t be able to take over the company at all. Was she planning to assassinate Uncle Keenan, then?
But Alisa suddenly chuckled. “That’s why we need to find Randall and obtain enough evidence to get Keenan arrested. It’ll be best if he can get sentenced to ten years’ worth of jail time. Since Jasper owes a ton of money, he won’t be able to make it back. By then, Keenan Corporation will be mine. Her lips were curled into a cold smirk. “Then again, Keenan might not get any jail sentences
There’s a chance he might get sentenced to death instead. After all, those who commit too many crimes won’t be allowed to live in this world.”
Alisa no longer harbored any love for Keenan. All she had left was her burning desire for
revenge.
I could tell that she wasn’t acting at all. Her body tended to tremble unconsciously whenever Keenan was brought up.
“We need more evidence in order to get him imprisoned. These photos are definitely not enough.” Leonard tapped on my phone while looking at Alisa blankly.
Alisa just smiled charmingly. “Of course. Otherwise, I’d have thrown him in jail a long time. ago. Why would I offer to work with you in the first place? That’s why I need your help, Leo. 1 need you to help Keenan see my actual worth so that he can relinquish a small portion of his authority over the company to me.
Keenan has a mistress, you see. Word has it that she’s pregnant at the moment. Keenan’s eagerly waiting for the birth of his son right now. If I can’t take advantage of the chaos and take over his company right now, it’ll be difficult for me to make my move in the future.” “Didn’t you say he’s unable to impregnate women?”
My mind was barely spinning at this point. Why were things this complicated?
Alisa chuckled again. “You really are silly, Eva. Just because Keenan can’t impregnate women doesn’t mean they can’t get pregnant via other methods.”
I just stared at Alisa in disbelief. She responded with a wink.
For a moment, I felt like asking Alisa if she was the one who had hired the mistress. But that question seemed quite insignificant. Alisa must have hired that mistress. Besides, it wasn’t as if she’d admit to having done it.
Anyway, Alisa’s plan was quite decent. I was definitely convinced, that was for sure.
Alisa rose to her feet before glancing at me and Leonard. “Don’t worry, Eva. I’m just borrowing Leonard from you. I hate casanovas the most. I don’t want to be with Leonard even if you give him to me. We’re just working together, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
After that, she left my room, completely disregarding what Leonard was feeling at the time.
Before Alisa left, she turned to look at Leonard with the door open. “I’ll be waiting for you then, Leo.”
Alisa really was a good actress. No one could find any flaws in her performance. Everyone was very sure that Leonard and I would definitely get a divorce, seeing as he and Alisa were madly in love with each other.
