When Love Becomes a Cage (Melanie) novel Chapter 152

Lisa had already known Talbot's plan when she went abroad.

He was indeed plotting against my family and she had bumped into Galen Brown a few times. She even became friends with Geneva Brown.

But once she went abroad, she stopped meddling in these affairs. Nevertheless, Geneva trusted her and asked Talbot to transfer money to Geneva every month, which only brought them closer.

"Geneva didn't steal anything. My dad set her up. Just to force her to be back."

"I know you're after Galen Brown. I don't care what you're going to do with him. I juts want to take Talbot down."

I didn't fully trust her until Clyde came back, and I spilled everything to him.

He seemed to be puzzled and gave me his phone. There was an investigation report about Lisa.

"I felt something was off for her and asked someone to do the investigation. Sure enough, there was something fishy."

"Those photos of her online are all for show. Probably just to keep her dad and brother in the loop. She's been anything but idle abroad."

Lisa had been using the identity 'Kristen' to pursue dual master's degrees in Business and Psychology at a foreign university, explaining why Clyde couldn't fool her.

"Moreover, she already owns a business overseas. Now she’s back. Not only is she pressed by her father, but she also wants to take her revenge."

The investigation conducted abroad was not easy, but Clyde’s people managed to uncover the fake identity of 'Kristen.'

She was a formidable woman. An embodiment of both beauty and brains running a successful company overseas.

But I could not trust her.

"She is so scheming. I think we need to be cautious."

"I can't trust anyone from the Crawford family."

We might share the same surname and roots, but Talbot is far more different from me.

Lisa sat on my bed and looked sharply at me.

"Galen was probably coerced back then. His wife was seriously ill and only Talbot's bone marrow was a match. Only Tammie and I knew this, and the operation was done abroad."

"I’ve shown my sincerity. So, are we going to team up?"

She gave me so much information that it was hard for me to take in.

Clyde asked while seeing these documents, "Your dad didn't try to trace the sender? Surely Galen Brown wouldn't be foolish enough to deliver them himself?"

Lisa shook her head.

"They're all mailed from abroad. I've always suspected Galen Brown is overseas."

"Otherwise, Talbot wouldn't have forced Geneva to come back. It's to compel Galen Brown to show himself."
