After settling Faye in the hospital, Kelly asked the nurse to keep an eye on her. Then, she headed to her office to grab her things before heading home.
“Kelly! You’re amazing! It’s a good thing you told them to call the policeDo you have any idea what happened? That boy… and the middle–aged man,” Darren rushed over, looking excited to spill the gossip. “That kid’s an orphan, but he never actually went to college. He’s not a student–he works at a club owned by the Lynches. And let me tell you, that place? Wild. They have everything–massages, medical beauty treatments, and other services.” Kelly frowned slightly. “The Lynches really had their hands in all kinds of businesses, huh?”
“Where did you hear all this?” she asked.
“The kid himself. He said he works at Beluga Club.” Darren lowered his voice and glanced around cautiously. “The manager of Beluga even showed up earlier–I recognized him. He’s always with Regina’s assistant.”
Kelly’s brows furrowed. So the Lynches had connections with underground businesses too.
“At first, the boy refused to talk. But after enough questioning, he admitted that the middle–aged guy took him to a hotel today. That guy was disgusting—some rich pervert. He, uh … ” Darren hesitated, coughing awkwardly. He didn’t elaborate, but the implication was clear.
“Was he willing?” Kelly asked bluntly. If the boy had been forced, then the Lynches might be involved in even darker crimes.
“Probably? I don’t really understand that community … ” Darren scratched his head. “I mean, I don’t judge, but it’s just… not my thing.”
Kelly didn’t comment.
A niche market, yet the Lynches had still found a way to make money from it.
“The watch on his wrist–it’s high–end, at least 300,000 dollars. Way beyond what he should be earning. I’m guessing there’s more to this story,” Kelly said, pausing before adding in a whisper, “Listen, the Lynches won’t let this go. We need to be prepared. That boy could be our key–get close to him, see if you can get any useful information.”
Darren blinked, pointing at himself in disbelief. “Wait … me?!”
Kelly smiled and gave him a small fist pump. “Good luck.”
Darren sighed dramatically. “Fine … I’ll try.”
This is the only possible solution.
At the office.
When Kelly returned, she found an uninvited guest sitting at her desk.

This is a hospital. Does he think he can just waltz in anywhere?

“Mr. Morris,” Kelly greeted politely, already reaching for her bag. She was in no mood for whatever this was.
“Kelly…” Ken stood up and handed her a business card. “I want you to leave Zev. In exchange, I’ll give you any amount of money you ask for. Think about it. If you agree, call me.” Kelly raised an eyebrow.
“Mr. Morris, I don’t quite understand. You suddenly show up and ask me to leave my husband? That’s … rather amusing.” Ken sighed heavily. He didn’t want to be the one to do this.
“I can’t say much. But trust me–leaving Zev is in your best interest.”
“Then don’t say anything at all,” Kelly replied flatly. “Now, if you’ll excuse me—”
Ken hesitated before muttering, “I’m afraid that in a few days … it won’t be me who comes to talk to you.”
If Wade got involved, Kelly wouldn’t just get a bribe offer–she’d face real threats.
Kelly’s gaze sharpened. Zev … It was clear now–Zev and Ken knew each other.
But Zev’s undercover identity was top secret. Only Gary should have known. So how did Ken know it, too? Before she could ask, another voice interrupted from the doorway, “I’ll explain.”
Kelly turned and sighed inwardly.
Clarissa. Again.
Ken’s expression darkened. “Ms. Clarissa.”
“Mr. Morris, Wade has already spoken to me. He trusts me completely–that’s why he asked me to tell the truth to Kelly,” Clarissa said smugly, lifting her chin.
Ken’s face twisted in displeasure. Wade had lost his mind. He even told Clarissa about Zev’s true identity!
How could he trust Clarissa this much? How had she gotten this close to him?
Clarissa’s cunning was undeniable; she’d completely deceived Wade, earning his absolute trust.
Realizing there was nothing more he could do, Ken turned and left.
“Huh? What do you mean?” Kelly’s fingers tightened around her bag.
“Kelly, you’re just a mistress. Zev has a fiancée. And he’s been lying to you about who he really is.”
