Chapter 358 Wade’s Will
Kelly could tell that Zev was displeased and gently squeezed his hand.
Whoever Wade chose to give his shares to was entirely up to him, as Lockhart Group was his to decide
“Come here.” Wade glanced at Zev and Kelly, signaling for them to take a seat.
Though the study was crowded, it was very quiet.
Kelly kept holding Zev’s hand, waiting for Wade to read the contents of the will.
The legal team was there, likely to serve as witnesses.
“Just get to the point, we still need to go home and check on the kids,” Zev said, clearly growing impatient.
Kelly sighed and gently pulled Zev’s arm. He really had no sense of the situation. Didn’t he see how serious everyone else’s mood was?
Zey clearly cared deeply about his grandfather’s health, yet he always acted indifferent in front of Wade. Whenever Wade’s condition worsened, Zev would secretly rush to find a doctor to ask about his situation.
“No rush, someone else hasn’t arrived yet,” Wade told Zey to be patient.
Zev grew even more impatient. Who else could be missing? It had to be Ken.
“I can’t understand it,” Zev said, puzzled. “All the evidence is right there, showing that Ken was involved in
my dad’s kidnapping. Why are you still so determined to believe in him?”
Then, as if struck by a sudden realization, Zev looked up at Wade. “Wait … He’s not your adopted son, is he? He’s your illegitimate child, isn’t he?”
Once the thought hit him, everything suddenly seemed to fall into place.
Wade’s face turned dark with anger, and he coughed for a moment, but he didn’t deny it.
Kelly was in shock.
Ken was Wade’s illegitimate son?
For years, everyone had always viewed Ken as his adopted son.
If he really was an illegitimate child, it would completely change how Kelly saw Wade.
Wade was domineering and had always portrayed himself as a loving husband, never remarrying after his wife passed away… Suddenly, the revelation of such a significant illegitimate child was hard to believe.
Knock, knock. The sound of knocking came from the door.
When it opened, it wasn’t Ken who entered, but Clarissa.
Zev’s face turned even darker, What was the point of bringing Clarissa here?
Was Lockhart Group not already messy enough? Now he had to bring this woman in?

Chapter 358 Wade’s Will
“Wade. Clarissa greeted Wade respectfully, but her gaze was full of challenge as she looked at Kelly,
It was as if she were saying, I’ve won.
Since Wade had made a will, he would definitely give something to Shane.
Kelly frowned, her grip on Zev’s hand tightening.
“We’ll leave if there’s nothing else. With her here, no matter what today’s meeting is about, we’re not staying,” Zev said, standing up, holding Kelly’s hand, ready to go.
But Kelly stayed seated, shaking her head at Zev.
Even if Wade really planned to give his shares to Clarissa or Shane, they still had to be a part of this today!
Zev looked at Kelly, feeling sorry. He gently squeezed her hand, his fingers trembling slightly. “Let’s go home…”
He didn’t want Kelly to have to endure this.
“Sit down,” Kelly whispered, her voice firm.
Zev had no choice but to sit back down, his eyes cold as he stared at Clarissa.
Clarissa chuckled, casually flicking her hair.
Suddenly, Wade began coughing violently, his handkerchief soaked with blood.
“Doctor! Doctor!” The assistant frantically pushed Wade toward the doctor.
Zev instinctively tried to rise, but his anger flared again, and he sat back down.
“Please wait a moment, everyone. Mr. Wade needs an injection,” the lawyer explained to Zev and the others. Wade could only hang on with the help of the medication.
Wade had been holding on for as long as he could, hoping to live long enough to see the real culprit behind Sylvester’s kidnapping caught. But he was reaching his limit.
In the late stages of cancer, staying alive had become a torment.
Kelly’s grip on Zev’s hand tightened even more.
“We still need to wait for Mr. Morris,” the lawyer said again, glancing at the time.
“Wade knows his condition is deteriorating. Today, he’s making his will,” Clarissa said slowly, challenging Zev and Kelly. “Do you know why Wade asked me to come? Because during the years when you weren’t by his side, I was the one who stayed with him. I even listened to him and had Shane. With Wade’s character, he’ll make sure I get what I deserve.”
Clarissa believed that Wade had originally wanted to marry her off to Zev, but since Zev refused, Wade owed her compensation.
Kelly gave Clarissa a cold, disdainful look. “You’re really shameless.”
Clarissa, however, was unbothered. “I don’t mind being shameless, as long as I get what I want.”

Clarissa smugly leaned back on the sofa, sending a message to Shawn, “Wade’s health is failing, and hei making a will. He called me over. Pretty obvious he’s planning to give shares to either me or Shane.
Shawn replied, “Then you’d better play your cards right and try to get more shares.
Clarissa smiled. Whether it was her or Shane who received the shares, she won.
She knew that once she became important to Shawn, he would have to seriously consider that marrying Ker would be the best way to secure his own interests.
