Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Lisa and Geneva left, leavingstanding there. I really had no idea what just happened.

I wanted to get Clyde to do sbut he was worried about tipping them off.

We spoke with one voice that the fund's key was with Galen Brown, so I had to track him down too.

Only then would our lies hold water.

Letting them know I was after Galen Brown seemed like a good idea too. It might prevent them from messing up with Geneva.

I thought Lisa would keep coming to the office and continued to try to seduce Clyde, but she hadn't shown up for days.

Two days later, she finally called Clyde, saying she had gone back to Ironvale.

"What? She left? What about Geneva?" I was anxious. If Geneva was taken away, it would be fucking difficult to find her again.

She was now my only clue to finding Galen Brown so I couldn't afford to lose that.

"Geneva went to Ironvale with her. Looks like the Crawford family is setting her up. Got any plans?" Geneva was my only clue to finding Galen Brown, and I was not about to give up on her.

"Vinson did sinvestigation for me. Geneva was getting a monthly transfer from abroad. Five thousand dollars each time." "We couldn't trace the account, but the transfer was stopped a few months ago, and that's when she started stealing." That was also when Lisa said her brother had begun gambling away money.

It was likely the Crawford family funding Geneva, but why would the Crawfords do that? Clyde ruffled my hair. "Alright, stop worrying about it. She's still in the country, we can find her." "You need to rest. Have you lost weight? You seem thinner." He pickedup, gauging my weight.

"You've definitely lost weight, Melanie. You're not trying to go for a skinny look, are you?" "Bullshit. We'll all end up skeletons!" I swatted at his head, telling him to putdown.

He nibbled at my shoulder playfully. "What are you talking about? We're still young." "If there's been an injustice, I'll make sure you get the justice you deserve." I silently reached out to pat his back, suddenly at a loss for words.

All these years, he'd been investigating what happened to my family.

It's not that he didn't care for me. Maybe we both just didn't know how to express.

But I hadn't expected Lisa to return the very next day, bringing the Crawford family's project with her. "Clyde, my dad askedto show Pason Group want to scale? you these project files. Doesn't theet f here?" "You know how much we can get from this project. Way more than what we can get from the crossover project." She shota smug look.

Clyde gavea knowing glance before handing over the files.

"The design needs adjusting but there are rectifications. What do you think?" I noticed there were indeed issues after I read the files.

The design had initially passed inspection, but later it failed to meet environmental standards. Now the t was suspended & Unless there was a change in policy or the Crawfords had offended someone.

I gave her a meaningful look, "Doesn't the Crawford family have a design team?" Lisa awkwardly flicked her hair, "The qualified designer... left for another job."

I avoided looking at her any longer. I was surprised that the Crawfords were left without a skilled designer. I, again looking at the design, set the files on the desk.

"Can't tell much from the files alone and I think a site visit would be m e necessary. X
