Chapter 4 The Wagners Involved in the Kidnapping Case
Clarissa’s expression shifted slightly, a flicker of panic in her eyes. “What are you talking about? I havent said anything!”
Kelly raised an eyebrow. “How could you say that? You’ve told me everything. You’ve even hinted at the person behind Sylvester’s kidnapping… It’s Zev’s…” She smiled softly at Clarissa, her voice dropping as she whispered, “Uncle.”
Clarissa’s face drained of color, her legs buckling as she stumbled back, nearly collapsing. “Kelly, what are you saying? 1–I haven’t done anything! I didn’t say anything! Don’t accuse me!”
Clarissa’s fear of the person behind her was evident, even if she didn’t admit it.
However, this only served to validate Kelly’s suspicions.
Earlier, Clarissa had mentioned that Zev holding the original shares of Wagner Group was a bad thing, likely driven by jealousy. She also referenced Sylvester’s death, which further supported the information Kelly had previously gathered.
Sylvester’s death was also tied to the Wagners.
This, in turn, linked back to Wade’s doubts and mistrust.
Right now, there are only two main suspects from the Wagners, Patrick and Gary.
Since Shawn is from a younger generation and wasn’t involved at the time, he can be ruled out as a suspect.
Aside from Shawn, the only two people left were the two uncles.
Kelly couldn’t be certain which of the two was trustworthy and which wasn’t.
She also couldn’t definitively say that the Wagners were behind everything, as all of it was still just speculation.
However, based on her guesses, Kelly felt confident that she could easily manipulate Clarissa into revealing
what she needed to know.
Clarissa was clever, but unfortunately, her overwhelming jealousy often got the best of her.
Her jealousy led her to speak recklessly, and once the words left her mouth, they couldn’t be taken back.
As the elevator ascended, Kelly burst into laughter, clutching her stomach dramatically.
Clarissa grew increasingly nervous, her panic rising as she stared at Kelly. “What’s so funny? Don’t lose your mind!”
“If I were to go outside and shout that Clarissa already revealed to me who was behind Sylvester’s kidnapping, do you think … someone might rush to make you vanish?” Kelly straightened up, her gaze cold and menacing as she looked at Clarissa.
Clarissa was now utterly panicked, breathing heavily as she pleaded with her eyes for Kelly to re.n silent.
But before she could react, the elevator doors opened.
Kelly gave a sly smirk, her gaze sharp as she stepped out, poised to shout. “Just now in the elevator, Clarissa

said…’
Finished
Before Kelly could complete her sentence, Clarissa lunged forward in terror, quickly covering Kelly’s mouth. Her voice shook as she whispered urgently, “Kelly, how dare you spread lies… I’ll make sure you go down with me….
She was trembling.
Fear was written all over her face.
This proved that the person she feared was somewhere on this floor.
“Kelly, stop making things up. What exactly do you want? We can talk this out–just don’t say anything reckless…” Clarissa’s voice wavered, teetering on the edge of desperation, yet her pride kept her from fully conceding.
Kelly’s gaze swept the area, keenly observing her surroundings as she anticipated the arrival of the one who had Clarissa so terrified.
Click.
The door to the CEO’s conference room swung open, and Gary stepped out.
Kelly stiffened, her hands slowly curling into fists, one finger at a time.
Gary… A man from the military, Zev’s superior, and the person he trusted and depended on the most. If he was truly involved, then Zev… would never be able to handle it.
“Kelly, did you come here alone?” Gary’s gaze landed on her, his expression slightly surprised as he glanced past her, searching for someone.
It seemed he had expected Zev to show up as well.
After all, Ken had abruptly turned against the Wagner Group, taking people with him.
“I heard about Ken’s situation as well. I’m just worried that Zev might act recklessly, so I came to get some answers first.” Gary furrowed his brows and let out a heavy sigh, concern evident in his expression.
Just then, Patrick stepped out of the office, his gaze landing on Kelly with a look of resignation. “Kelly, you’re here… Honestly, I have no idea what’s going on with Ken. At this point, the entire company is backing Shawn. I’ve been completely pushed aside!”
Patrick glared at Gary, his face dark with fury. “I’ve raised an ungrateful traitor! He’s actually plotting against me now. The Wagners and Lockharts are family–we should never be at odds! I’ve told him this countless times, yet he still insists on playing these games with me!”
Fuming, Patrick planted his hands on his hips, then turned sharply, ready to storm into the CEO’s office and give Shawn a beating.
Gary stopped Patrick in his tracks. “Don’t act on impulse. The kids are all grown up. The younger generation has their own way of handling business.”
“Own way of handling business? What nonsense! He’s betraying his own family!” Patrick snapped, his anger flaring.
Kelly quietly observed the two men, studying their reactions closely …

Chapter 403 The Wagners Involved in the Kidnapping Case
Yet, both of them were present today.
Who was Clarissa truly afraid of Gary or Patrick?
sbi Leke
Kelly was certain that it was impossible for both uncles to have been part of the kidnapping from back then. If they had been, Zev wouldn’t still be alive.
One of them must have been protecting him all along.
But who was the enemy, and who was the ally?
Both of them put on a flawless act, leaving Kelly unable to discern the truth.
“This has nothing to do with Shawn. The decision was mine alone.” The door to the CEO’s office swung open, and Ken stepped out.
“Let me explain to Kelly,” he said, meeting her gaze.
Kelly fixed her gaze on Ken, masking her emotions behind a cold, furious expression. “Mr. Morris, your loyalty is truly remarkable. Mr. Wade has barely been gone, and you couldn’t wait to reveal your true colors. I’d love to hear how you plan to justify this.”
