Chapter 164 Trust No One
Aside from going overseas, it was actually safer to stay in the country. Randall was a smart one. He had been playing Keenan like a fool all these years.
Alisa saw our indifference and became angry. “The two of you don’t seem to be surprised. Hey! We’re on the same side. You have to tell me if you have some clues!”
Alisa smacked the table heavily and bellowed, “Tell me, Eva! I’m going to sleep with Leonard if you don’t!”
Leonard moved behind me, and I felt so speechless that I changed the topic.
“I want to meet with Riva. Can you help me with it?” I was sure Rivaella knew a lot of stuff and I couldn’t let Alisa know about Randall for now.
I used to be close to Riva. If she actually hated me, then there had to be a reason behind it. It wasn’t as if she didn’t know about what happened to my family back then. She was in high school, not a child. It was either she misunderstood something or she did it on purpose.
Alisa shrugged. “She didn’t like you. Every time we talked about. My dad’s men are keeping an eye on her.
you, she’d say
she hated you.
“So, you might not have the chance to get close to her. More to the point, she might not tell you anything even if you do see her. If you have faith in me, you’re going to let me ask her the questions.”
I nodded in response. It wasn’t so much that I believed in Alisa, but rather that she was the only person who could help me now.
If I showed up around Rivaella, then Keenan would definitely be alerted. He might also find out that I have been to the hospital.
If Randall was the janitor, then he knew that Rivaella was under Keenan’s control. He should be showing himself up soon enough.
Although I have no idea what game Keenan was playing, I could just guess that it had something to do with what happened back then.
“I know you want to ask Riva about what happened back then, but she was still quite young. So, she might not know anything. You should probably seek out Randall. After all, he still holds your funds in his hands.” Alisa stared at me intensely, and I turned my head sideways. The funds were something Leonard made up. There would be nothing in it for her at the end of the day.
With that said, I was fine either way. It didn’t matter to me if there were actually funds. Our collaboration would go on.

Once we had discussed our next steps, Leonard and I stared at Alisa, who was lying on the couch. She lifted the cup in her hand. “What’s the matter? Are you going to kick me away after what I’ve done for you?” “Why aren’t you leaving?” Leonard was a little agitated, and his tone was rather unfriendly.
Alisa pursed her lips before she smiled again. “What are you doing, Leo? I haven’t been able to sleep ever since you left. Are you going to chase me off so soon? I’ve missed you day and night, and yet you’re so cold toward me. You break my heart.’ Leonard ducked behind me again. All of a sudden, I recalled him saying that there was a female spirit in his room that day. Alisa was always dressed in red, and she looked just like a vengeful spirit.
Alisa saw how scared Leonard was. She giggled and rose to her feet. “Fine. I’ll come here more often in the future. Keenan asked me to work faster.
“Drugging didn’t work for him last time. So, who knew what tricks he had up his sleeves in the future? Jasper probably couldn’t hold out much longer, too. Watch your backs, you two.
“Also, don’t forget that you have to let me be in charge of that project.” Alisa took her handbag gracefully and walked toward the door. Then, she turned around again.
“You guys are headed for a divorce, Eva. You should just move on from him already. Why cling to him and refuse to let go? This is Leonard’s wife we’re talking about. It’s all up to him who he likes.” Alisa snorted coldly again before she shut the door and left. I came to the door and saw that there were two men acting sneakily by the emergency exit. It looked like Keenan trusted no one, not even his own daughter.
