Kelly furrowed her brow, her expression darkening. “Mr. Morris, you managed to get my supervisor to approve a leave just to meet with me.”
Ken smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, doctors are busy and have heavy workloads. I didn’t want to delay your patients this afternoon, so I approached your supervisor directly. We happen to know each other quite well, and he agreed to cover for you this afternoon.”
“If it’s urgent, just say it,” Kelly replied curtly, unwilling to be polite to Ken.
He appeared to be courteous on the surface, but who knew his true intentions?
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing in this world.
Ken raised his hand somewhat apologetically, gesturing for Kelly to follow. “Dr. Yeager, please come with
me.”
“Why should I go with you without knowing your purpose? If you sell me, should I count the money for you?” Kelly retorted.
Clarissa had mentioned that someone from the Lockhart family wanted Zev dead. Given that his father had been betrayed and killed, and considering how both Gary and Zev viewed Ken with suspicion, it was clear that Ken was the prime suspect.
“Mr. Wade wants to see you. He’s waiting in the car outside,” Ken said with a forced smile, looking at Kelly.
Kelly sneered. Wade had a lot of free time if he was trying to push for her divorce from Zev.
“I need to ask my husband,” Kelly said, pulling out her phone. “After all, he’s your family member. Whether I can meet him needs his approval.”
“He probably can’t answer right now. I’ve heard that to prepare for a mission, he secretly intensified his training. He tore a muscle in his left arm and had to get a cortisone shot at the military hospital At this moment, the leadership is likely having a conversation with him,” Ken calmly explained.
Ken’s words hit Kelly like a depth charge, exploding in her heart once again.
Kelly knew Zev had been secretly pushing himself, but in his current state, he was only making his injury
worse.
Several times, she woke up at night to find him not in bed.
He would be on the balcony lifting dumbbells.
His fingers could barely grip the weights, yet he endured the immense pain to recover quickly.
Kelly stood still for a long moment, silent and unmoving.
She had just spoken to Zev on the phone, and considering the severity of his injury, it must have been

“The mission will go on, with or without him. But he’s pushing himself because he fears that once his identity is exposed, you will be in danger,” Ken continued, targeting Kelly’s emotions masterfully.
Unlike Clarissa, who resorted to threats, believing she’d grasped everyone’s weaknesses, Ken knew how to hit where it hurt.
“Leaving him would be easier for both of you,” Ken said frowning as if he genuinely believed it.
Kelly remained silent for a long time before she began to walk forward.
Ken breathed a sigh of relief and led the way.
At the entrance to the outpatient building, private vehicles were not allowed to occupy special parking spots designated for patients.
Yet Wade’s luxury car, worth millions, was firmly parked in a special slot.
“Ms. Yeager, please get in,” the driver said, opening the door for Kelly.
Kelly got into the car, where Wade sat with an imposing presence in his seat.
The car was luxurious, the kind only the wealthy could afford.
“This car was a recent purchase by Mr. Wade for Mr. Zion, a Mercedes–Maybach S680 Pullman. It’s quite understated, around 500,000, but I doubt Mr. Zion would like it. It suits Mr. Wade’s tastes more,” the driver joked, clearly with ulterior motives.
Wade snorted. “People and cars both, aesthetics only count for so much. What matters is value.”
Kelly could tell Wade’s words had a double meaning.
She remained silent, sitting quietly beside him.
The driver skillfully maneuvered the car through Seaville’s most luxurious neighborhood, where the scenery and landscaping took her breath away.
Back in school, Kelly remembered her classmates talking about how they had been working since their teenage years, saving up endlessly, yet they still couldn’t afford even a bathroom in this rich area.
“Beautiful place, isn’t it?” the driver said, stopping the car and opening the door for Kelly, smiling “This villa on Midlake Island has been rated as an epic mansion on a global scale. The people living here are all top 500 Forbes–listed elites.”
Kelly stood quietly at the entrance of the Lockharts‘ villa.
Villa was putting it mildly; it was more of an estate.
She had heard about this place before. Midlake Island housed only 6 villas, each covering at least 20,000 square feet and valued at over a billion each.
Kelly’s quaint family home seemed insignificant compared to these palatial residences.
The power of wealth always delivered a hard–hitting impact in various ways.
Wade hadn’t spoken a word the entire ride. leaving the driver to give the introductions.

Even without saying anything, Wade’s goal was clear–to make Kelly understand the vast disparity between
her and Zev.
