Chapter 269 Who Is Behind the Lynches?
Fmished
“This time, we’ve completely burned bridges with the Lynches,” Gary said, glancing at Kelly with concern in the hospital room.
Zev was still unconscious.
He had been forcibly given too many drugs and was severely exhausted. At this point, he couldn’t hold on anymore..
Kelly rushed to the bedside, and only when she saw Zev did she finally relax.
“There were no bridges left to burn with them,” Kelly said softly.
Gary looked at Kelly. “You need to know that the Lynches didn’t get to where they are just through their own strength or foreign powers. Our investigation shows that Lucas built his wealth with backing from the Seaville faction, meaning he’s supported by domestic forces. Do you really think Beau and the Lynches have that ability?”
Kelly understood that supporting foreign powers demanded an immense amou
f money.
While the Lynches were wealthy, they simply couldn’t afford it.
After all, just a few years ago, they were scheming to steal her inheritance. If they had to scheme over that small sum, how could they have the funds to back foreign forces?
The people Lucas had under his control, the weapons, and the ammunition all came with a hefty price.
“I get what you’re saying. Beau has more powerful backing, and the Lynches are just pawns.” The people behind them would use them as scapegoats when things went south.
“Clarissa is pushing so hard because she knows that if she doesn’t quickly attach herself to the Lockharts and escape the grip of those behind her, the Lynches will end up in an even worse situation than Lucas,” Gary acknowledged that Clarissa was smart.
“Beau’s two daughters–Regina has clearly been pampered and lacks ambition. She’s just not capable. Beau cares most about the eldest daughter, the one who can hold up the Lynches,” Gary said, looking at Kelly. “So, the Lynches will go all out to protect Clarissa this time.”
The outcome might not be what they hope for.
“I know Clarissa is capable of finding someone to take the fall for her. With so many people under her, they night not trace it back to her. But this time, things have escalated… Beau won’t be able to protect her, so he’ll definitely turn to the people behind him for help,” Kelly said, looking at Gary meaningfully.
“That person has been hiding so deeply in the shadows. It’s time to use Clarissa to get him out,” Kelly said, clenching her fists.
These people show be completely eradicated.
“Kelly…” Gary smiled. “You’re sharp. I’m starting to understand what Zev meant when he said that once I truly get to know you, I’d realize he’s the one who doest deserve you.”
Gary glanced down at Zev, bruised and battered from the beating. “This kid… other than being able to

Gary sighed in resignation “Indeed, he doesn’t deserve you.”

“There’s no one who’s unworthy between us,” Kelly said gently. “You know he’s not as bad as you think. A rich heir, putting his life on the line to go undercover in Solmaris for five years–his determination and courage are qualities not everyone possesses.”
Gary chuckled. “As long as you don’t mind.”
Kelly gazed at Zev with a look of concern. “He never tells me anything … Not even this time. He must’ve already planned this with you, setting up this whole act to trap Clarissa, right?”
In fact, even if Kelly didn’t take action, Zev’s objective would still be accomplished.
Not only would he catch the middleman between Clarissa and Assad, but he would also force Clarissa to reveal her true colors.
Zev wasn’t stupid; he just had a tendency to throw himself into dangerous sit
ions.
He never put his own safety first.
“Yes, our plan was to expose the middleman between Clarissa, Lucas, and Assad, but it’s a risky one. The other side is very cunning. We almost lost them. If you hadn’t suggested we go after the psychiatrist, I’m afraid…” Gary shuddered at the thought.
Kelly lifted her hand to gently touch Zev’s face. “He knew I would figure it out.”
Kelly’s eyes welled up as she smiled faintly. “This idiot
Zey won the bet.
He had bet that once Gary’s team couldn’t track him down, Kelly would find a way.
“Honey …” Zev whispered as he woke. He moved a bit, and everything hurt.
Gary gave Zev a helpless look before quietly stepping out of the room.
Kelly watched Zev, waiting for him to open his eyes before raising her hand and delivering a slap to his already injured face.
It wasn’t too hard, but it was loud.
Zev was taken aback, looking at Kelly with a pained look. “I’m like this, and you’re still hitting me?”
“Zev, didn’t I tell you? Once we’re married, everything about you isn’t just yours anymore. Your body is shared property. How could you … treat something that belongs to me like this?” She couldn’t control her emotions and snapped at him.
