“This is absurd! Ever since that Kelly appeared, Zion’s been acting more and more defiant, Wade snapped, his frustration evident.
Ken let out a weary sigh and said in a calm voice, “Mr. Wade, must you so dishonest? It’s obvious you never planned to let Shane and me take charge of the Lockhart Group.
Throwing out such words does nothing but wound others.
“Zion may be younger, but your harsh words will only wound him as well,” Ken continued. “The only reason you made it through unscathed this time was because of Kelly’s quick thinking–she saved your life. You used to cherish the so–called loyalty Clarissa carefully crafted, but now… just because Kelly isn’t as skilled at catering to your ego or pretending to be submissive, you’ve decided you don’t like her.”
The truth was, Wade had spent his entire life basking in flattery, and now that someone from the younger generation wasn’t indulging him, he simply couldn’t handle it.
“So, you’re taking her side too?” Wade asked, his voice laced with fury.
Ken shook his head. “I’m not defending her–I’m just stating the facts.”
Wade let out a sharp scoff, his anger simmering beneath the surface, but he said nothing more.
Zey’s residence.
After spending some time at the military compound and enduring the chaos in Stoneville, the villa had finally been renovated.
Zev carried Jasper in his arms, both of them keepin
as quiet as possible, barely even daring to breathe.
Kelly remained silent throughout the journey, her mood heavy with anger.
Mr. Wade was truly exasperating.
“Honey…” Zev called out hesitantly.
“Leave me alone,” Kelly snapped, clearly irritated.
“Got it…” Zev mumbled, holding his plump little son close.
Kelly sat in the yard, lost in thought, wondering what the Lynches‘ next move would be.
They weren’t the type to back down so easily.
And this sudden silence felt off.
“Kelly, let’s have dinner together tonight. Uncle Raymond and Aunt Nydia want to meet you,” Darren said over the phone, inviting Kelly to join them.
Kelly had been thinking the same thing. It had been over two years since she last saw Michael’s parents.

Next, it was time to settle the score with the Lynches the one who had once handed their medical team over to Lucas like a mere “gift.”
“Honey, I washed some fruit… “Zev walked in carrying a plate, while Jasper clutched a small basket. They stood at the door, watching Kelly expectantly. “Honey, don’t be mad.”
Kelly sighed, a faint smile appearing on her lips. “I’m not mad at you.”
“That’s because of my grandpa…” Zev muttered, worried she might take her frustration out on him.
“When did you become so spineless? Back in Solmaris…” Kelly started, intending to bring up past grudges. Back then, Zev had been downright domineering–constantly pushing her around.
Before she could finish, Zev quickly pressed a kiss to her lips, cutting her off. “No digging up old grudges…”
Kelly sighed, rubbing his cheek. “I’m heading out for a bit tonight.”
“Where to? I’ll go with you,” Zev said, his concern evident.
“Darren invited me to dinner with Michael’s parents,” she murmured, her mood noticeably dim.
Zev hesitated for a moment before wisely choosing to stay silent.
Anything related to Michael always brought a shadow of sadness over Kelly.
“Has anyone from the Lynches reached out to you?” she asked, glancing at Zev.
He shook his head. “No, and that’s what’s odd. Beau is way too quiet. Normally … he wouldn’t just let go of Clarissa over something like this. She’s his pride and joy.”
Kelly couldn’t help but wonder–why had Beau suddenly gone silent this time?
What was he plotting?
“Well, if he’s not in a rush, then neither are we,” she murmured, leaning back in her chair.
Her gaze drifted over the flowers and greenery in the yard as she rested against Zev.
But before they could savor the peaceful moment, Zev’s phone rang. “Zev, with everything going wrong at Lockhart Group, how can you just sit there like nothing’s happening?”
It was Caden.
Zev frowned in surprise. “Lockhart Group? What happened?”
How had he not heard about this?
“It’s all over the news! An employee working overtime suddenly died, and now Lockhart Group is trying to shift the blame. Meanwhile, the HR department and lower–level project staff have organized a collective strike,” Caden explained, just as baffled by the situation.

A strike led by the HR department… that was unusual.
This had to be the Lynches‘ doing.
No wonder Beau was so quiet–he’d been waiting for them to walk right into his trap.
“I need to head to the company,” Zev said, ruffling Kelly’s hair.
She nodded but grabbed his wrist before he could leave. “That nanny you hired, Nancy… is she trustworthy?”
Is it safe to leave Jasper alone with her?

“Nancy used to look after my mom at the Wagner Residence. She’s been with them for decades and is completely trustworthy. Oscar’s father personally transferred her over,” Zev reassured Kelly.
Hearing that, Kelly finally relaxed.
That was a relief.
After spending a few hours at home playing with Jasper, she gave Nancy a few instructions before heading
out.
Nancy was indeed a warm and caring nanny, and Jasper had taken a liking to her, which put Kelly at ease.
But as Kelly walked out the door, Nancy lingered in the doorway, glancing around cautiously before discreetly sending a message on her phone.
