NovelEnglishChapter 148 Chapter 148 Working With the Greens I remained rooted to the spot after Alisa took Rivaella away. I had no idea what had happened in the past.
At first, I wanted Leonardo to ask around, but he was worried that he might end up alerting those who were involved.
Both of us had already gotten our stories straight. Randall possessed the vault key to my fund, sol needed to find him no matter what. Only then would our cover stories be free of loopholes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was a good thing to let the culprits know of my intention to track Randall down. That way, they wouldn't dare harm a hair on Rivaella's head for now.
At first, we thought Alisa would definitely go to the company again. After all, she still had to keep seducing Leonard. But she never showed up over the next few days.
Two days later, she finally called Leonard, telling him that she had already returned to Melgrove.
"What? Alisa went back to Melgrove? What about Rivaella?" I was starting to grow anxious. It'd be difficult forto track Rivaella down if Alisa were to take her away.
Rivaella was the only one who might know the whole truth. I mustn't give up on her.
"Rivaella moved to Melgrove as well. The Greens might have already made arrangements for her. What are you planning to do?" Rivaella was my only clue who could leadto Randall's whereabouts. I can't give up no matter what.
"Zack has already investigated everything for me. Rivaella used to receive an amount of five thousand Manovian dollars via an overseas transaction every month. But he couldn't find anything on the overseas account. But the account didn't wire any money to her account starting from a few months ago, which is why she began shoplifting." That tfrmatched the one when Jasper lost money due to gambling, as per Alisa's words. The Greens were most likely the ones transferring money to Rivaella. The question was, why? Leonard pattedon the head. "That's enough. Stop thinking about it already. Since Rivaella is now in the country, we can always track her down.
"Right now, you need rest. Why do I have a feeling that you've lost more weight?" Leonard pickedup just to weighin his arms. "You've really lost more weight. Eva, don't tellyou're trying to go for unrealistic beauty standards by becoming as thin as a skeleton!" "As if! Everyone will hit those beauty standards once they die!" I patted Leonard on the head as a sign for him to putdown. He responded by bitinglightly on the shoulder. "What nonsense are you spouting this time? We're still young, you know." Then, he pulledinto his arms while sounding a little melancholic. "Don't worry, Eva. I'll definitely get to the bottom of this matter for your sake. If your family really is wronged by others, I'll make sure to seek justice on your behalf." I just reached out to pat Leonard on the back quietly. At that moment, I didn't know what to say.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTo think that Leonard had been investigating the truth behind my family's incident all these years... It wasn't as though he didn't care about me. Perhaps we just didn't know how to proclaim our feelings to each other.
But I didn't expect Alisa to make her return the next day. She even brought a copy of the Greens' project Chapter 148 Working With the Greens Chapter proposal and design drafts with her.
"Leo, my dad wantsto show you the documents. Harmon Group intends to expand to other regions, right? You should know that the profits churned by this project are as lucrative as the amount promised by the overpass project." Alisa then shota smug look. Leonard gavea look before passingthe documents. "The design still needs to be tweaked, in fact, the higher-ups have demanded that the entire design be overhauled. What do you think, Eva?"
I received the documents. Leonard was right; the design was riddled with problems. It was true that the design had passed the audit session at first, but later on, it was discovered that the entire project didn't fit the criteria to be passed off as environmentally friendly. The construction was suspended at the moment.
"Either the policies have been changed, or the Greens have somehow offended other forces." I gazed at Alisa meaningfully. "Don't the Greens have their own team of designers?" Alisa swept her bangs aside, looking a little sheepish. The veteran designers have... chosen to switch companies." I just stared at her in disbelief. How was it possible for the Greens to not have any veteran designers working for them at this point?
Then, I looked at the design draft once again before placing the documents on my desk)"! can't m determine what the current situation is like based on the documents. I need to be on site to inspect the actual construction site." Leonard and I swapped glances with each other. Then, we smiled at Alisa in unison. "Hey, Alisa... If I were to visit Melgrove, would you welcme with open arms there?"
