Chapter 848 Clarissa vs Zev
In the conference room.
Clarissa was still in a meeting when Zev barged in hastily.
She frowned, her expression darkening. “Mr. Zion, our project team is in the middle of a meeting. This is inappropriate, don’t you think?”
“Inappropriate? Are you saying I’m inappropriate?” Zev chuckled and sat down in her seat. “Or are you implying that you are the CEO of Lockhart Group?”
Clarissa’s brows furrowed as she met his gaze. “Now is not the time for personal disputes. Lockhart Group is facing serious issues, and our project collaborations are rapidly declining. This affects everyone’s interests. Mr. Zion, this is not the time to be willful.”
Her calm yet firm words heightened the hostile atmosphere in the room.
“She’s right, Mr. Zion. Our project department is facing major difficulties, and Ms. Clarissa might be able to-”
One of the team members tried to stand up for Clarissa, intending to say that she could help Lockhart Group overcome this crisis.
“Clearly, you’re all unaware that Ms. Clarissa has betrayed you.” Hanson plugged a USB drive into the conference room computer.
On the screen, images appeared–photos of Clarissa meeting with Shawn while Zev was at the police
station.
Then, a video played–Clarissa bringing Lockhart Group’s former project partners to meet Shawn.
Clarissa’s expression darkened further. She had long decided to leave Lockhart Group, but when had Zev started watching her?
She had planned to stir up chaos before leaving.
But now…
“Ms. Clarissa?”
“Ms. Clarissa, you … How could you..
The project team stared at her in shock.
So, the traitor was actually Clarissa. Wade had invited a vampire across the threshold.
“Are you wondering when I started watching you?” Zev looked at Clarissa.

She took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, and let out a cold laugh. “And what if you know? All I did was introduce these partners to Shawn. It was his ability that made them choose him over you.”
Zev raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
“What? No response?” Clarissa sneered at him. “You’re nothing but a useless, impulsive second–generation,

Zev remained silent, watching her rant.
“Have you even asked yourself how many people in this company truly respect you? How many aren’t mocking you behind your back? You have no real ability–you were just born lucky!” She glared at him. “Even if you kick me out of Lockhart Group today, its downfall is inevitable…
Zev chuckled. “Did I say I was kicking you out? Why are you panicking? You’re the one who wants to leave.
Clarissa scoffed and dropped the pretense. She turned to the employees. “Zev has been with Lockhart Group for a while now, but has he brought in any real profits? No, he’s only caused trouble. He disregards the company’s image and interests. He’s reckless, violent, and self–indulgent. Tell me, how can someone like that manage a corporation? How can he help you make money?”
Hanson clenched his fists, realizing that Clarissa was trying to sabotage Lockhart Group. She was stirring the pot.
“You-”
Just as he was about to speak, Zev stopped him.
Clarissa smiled. “Starting today, I am officially leaving Lockhart Group’s project department to join Wagner Group as the head of both its project and entertainment divisions. If you want higher pay and a more stable path upward, come with me.”
She offered generous terms. As long as she could take away Lockhart Group’s veterans and the entire project team, Zev would become an easy target for criticism.
The employees exchanged glances, momentarily unsure of what to do.
“Mr. Zion … ” Hanson’s anxiety deepened.
Why is Zev still so calm?
If the entire project team left, how would the rest of the company view him?
His reputation in Lockhart Group would sink even further. In the future, mobilizing the company’s workforce would only become more difficult.

“I promise you all twice the salary you currently earn at Lockhart Group,” Clarissa said confidently, certain of her victory.
“Only double? Is that double the base salary, or double the performance bonus and commissions as well?” Zev casually raised a hand, as if asking on behalf of everyone.
The employees turned to Clarissa. After all, money was the most practical concern.
She frowned but quickly sneered, “Both–your base salary and commissions will be doubled compared to what you earn at Lockhart Group.”
Zev’s lips curled into a smile. “Double, huh… I’ll offer triple.”
The entire project team was stunned. They exchanged glances, whispering among themselves.

These were seasoned employees of the company–such an offer was tempting.
Outside the conference room, even more employees had gathered to watch the drama unfold.
Zevi Clarissa gritted her teeth. She wasn’t giving up. “I can offer more than just triple the salary and bonuses–I’ll throw in high additional incentives.”
She shot him a provocative look. “Mr. Zion, what more can you offer? If you keep raising the stakes, are you planning to hand over Lockhart Group?”
