Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard)

Chapter 170 Keep Yourself Safe

I lowered my eyes to hide the shock in my eyes. Then, I became angry instantly. "I'm the one asking questions here, Uncle Keenan! Why did Leonard get hurt?

"You might want your daughter to become a homewrecker, but is this how you do it? I'm your niece, for God's sake!"

I spoke rather loudly. There were a lot of people bustling in the hospital hallways, and my voice captured some of their attention immediately. Keenan didn't look pleased. He immediately dragged me into the ward. Keenan threw the fruit basket to the floor. "What kind of attitude is this?"

"I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine! I called you 'uncle,' and yet you can't wait for me to get divorced. All you wanted was the Harmon family's properties." Speaking loudly didn't mean I was right, but it did ensure I sounded tough and insurmountable. Keenan actually softened when he saw how my face and neck turned red. "Everyone knows that you're getting a divorce with Leonard, Eva. It's better to let Alisa take advantage of the situation than an outsider!

"Don't worry about it. I will help you win more assets when the divorce takes place." All of a sudden, his eyes rolled in their sockets. "Did you two have a prenuptial agreement? You're getting something out of this, aren't you?"

Naturally, Keenan wasn't this kind-hearted. It looked like he was just asking about the

nonexistent funds.

I pursed my lips and sat on the couch leisurely. Of course, I didn't do it. The Harmon family had such vast wealth and properties. Am I supposed to let some other lady take advantage of it?

"Does that mean the assets your parents left you will also become Leonard's?"

Keenan didn't know that I had cancer. How could he be so sure that I would die before Leonard did?

I squinted and looked at him in disdain. "No one can withdraw my money. I have no idea if the person in charge is dead or alive. So, he's not going to take advantage of me.

Keenan seemingly let out a sigh of relief when he saw the look on my face. Now that he had confirmed that I did have funds and was related to Randall, he knew where he stood. His next step was probably making me divorce Leonard and killing me while he was at it.

I clenched my fists slowly when I thought of his pathetic means. Meanwhile, Rivaella didn't make a peep the whole time. We quietly swapped glances earlier, and I was sure that she knew what I meant.

Rivaella didn't say a word. She merely glared at Keenan viciously. Just as he turned around, she lowered her head and pretended that nothing happened.

"You have to watch out for what you put into your body, Riva. You got food poisoning this time, but what about in the future?"

Keenan sounded so warm and concerned that he looked like a loving uncle. However, his eyes. were devoid of warmth. It felt like he was looking at an asset. Riva was his asset to lure out Randall.

I didn't really want to see him putting on an act. So, I immediately rose to my feet.

"You should check on Leonard, Uncle Keenan. Isn't he your ideal son-in-law? Also, pass him a message on my behalf. If he wants to divorce me, he'll have to give me half of the Harmon family's properties. Otherwise, I'll drag it out and make him suffer."

I had to let Keenan see that I didn't want to give up my status as Leonard's wife in order to keep the act going. I pushed him out of the ward and quickly shut the door.

The moment Rivaella raised her head, her eyes had turned red. "He's behind everything. Is that it?"

I shook my head. "I'm not sure, but all evidence points to him. My dad's death was probably connected to him."

"What should we do now, Eva?" Rivaella held my hand, and her eyes were laced with anxiousness. "All these years, I thought he was a good guy. Did he support me financially because Dad has dirt on him? My dad's still alive. Is that right?"

I looked Rivaella in the eyes. For a moment there, I had no idea how I was supposed to answer her. Eventually, I patted her on the hand.

All you have to do is keep yourself safe. I'll handle the rest."
