Chapter 445 Zev’s Surprise for Kelly
“I’m starving! Can someone check on me?” Cecil pounded on the door, yelling impatiently
Inside. Zev ignored him completely, still wrapped around Kelly in a tight embrace.
“Aren’t you two hungry?” Cecil knocked harder. “Come on, open upt
Kelly felt a little flustered by the commotion outside, tempted to get up and cook for him.
“Just ignore him. He won’t die from hunger,” Zev murmured, holding her close and refusing to let her go.
She studied Zev for a moment, then softly asked, “This isn’t a dream, right?”
With both hands cradling his face, she gazed at him intently.
She didn’t dare ask how much hardship he had endured. She didn’t want to imagine it.
Thankfully, Zev was a soldier–his resilience kept him going, no matter how harsh the conditions.
“As long as you’re alive,” Kelly choked out. As long as he was here, there was still hope.
Zev pulled her into his arms. “I’m fine

Outside the door, Cecil continued eavesdropping, unable to resist adding his commentary. “Zev, if you had taken any longer to come back, your wife would have remarried!”
He whined dramatically, “Can you hurry up and cook for me? I’m seriously starving here!”
Cecil had a knack for getting under people’s skin.
He smirked and threw in another jab. “Kelly, don’t worry. Zev’s been living the good life. Patrick wanted to relieve guilt and found Zev some lovely women to carry on his legacy. No suffering at all!”
Zev clenched his jaw, finally losing patience. “I swear, I’m going to kill him.”
Kelly squinted, looking at him with a meaningful smile. “Go ahead. Let’s see who comes out on top.”
His bravado immediately faded. He forced an awkward smile. “Honey, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
Kelly got up without hesitation, pulled the door open, and looked directly at Cecil. “You two want to fight? Go ahead.”
Cecil grinned smugly at Zev. “So, how many illegitimate kids do you have now?”
That was the last straw. Zev grabbed Cecil by the collar and shoved him against the wall.
Cecil didn’t fight back. Seeing Kelly’s displeased expression, he quickly backtracked. “Relax, I made that up. The guy was beaten so badly he could barely move, let alone have kids.”
Kelly said nothing. She simply turned and headed toward the kitchen.
In the face of life and death, everything else seemed insignificant.
All that mattered was that Zey was still here.

Chapter 445 Zev’s Surprise for Kelly
Finished
Zev shot Cecil a murderous glare. “Are you insane? Why’d you provoke her? Now my wife is upset–one of us has to die today.”
Cecil shrugged. “How was I supposed to know she’d take it so seriously?”
“You clueless bachelor!” Zev turned to follow Kelly, but before he could reach her, she returned, her expression dark as she tapped his lips.
“Don’t say things like that again.” Her voice wavered.
Zev was stunned, then nodded, pulling her into a hug. “I’m sorry.”
Kelly shot Cecil a warning look that made him instantly shut up and avoid eye contact.
“I’m going to cook,” she said before heading back to the kitchen.
Seizing the opportunity, Zev kicked Cecil, and the fight resumed.
By the time Kelly returned, both men had frozen in place like scolded children.
Helplessly glancing at them, she went to the fridge and started pulling out ingredients.
Both of them were afraid of Kelly. The moment she stepped into the kitchen, they picked up their fight again.
Since Zev couldn’t risk being seen in public, he had no choice but to stay at the heritage house with Cecil for the time being.
Kelly didn’t question their plans. They knew what they were doing. Cecil, having spent years undercover, was likely eager to bring everything to an end as soon as possible.
After leaving the heritage house, she went home, where Shawn was waiting.
The moment she walked in, he exhaled in relief, though his eyes remained cautious. Speaking in a low voice, he said, “Kelly, Patrick’s deadline is tomorrow. What’s your plan? We can’t just sit around and do nothing. If you truly don’t want to marry me, we have to figure something out.”
His anxiety was clear. He checked to make sure no one was listening before whispering, “I can help you escape. I can take you and the kids right now. Should we go?”
Kelly shook her head. “Let’s wait and see what happens tomorrow. I want to know what Patrick has in mind.” Frustration flashed across his face. “He’s unpredictable and dangerous. We can’t just sit back.”
Kelly met his gaze. “When I came back, his men were everywhere. Even if we tried to run, where would we go?”
She wasn’t running anymore.
Now that Zev had returned, she would face the situation head–on.
Shawn sank onto the couch, defeated. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I’ll figure something out. I’ll call
Oscar.”

Chapter 445 Zev’s Surprise for Kelly
Kelly reached for his hand. “Let’s not act too hastily.”
Shawn frowned. “You’re being too hopeful. You still have the chance to leave.”
She shook her head.
It was too late She could escape, but Zev and the children couldn’t.
Buzz!
Shawn’s phone vibrated.
Finished
“Mr. Wagner, there’s trouble at the company! Ken exposed financial irregularities within the group. The company is under suspicion of money laundering, and Mr. Patrick has been taken into custody! And… Mr. Gary just transferred 20% of his shares to Ken with no conditions. On top of that, Oscar sold all of his shares. to Ken, too.”
His assistant’s voice was frantic.
Shawn stood frozen.
Gary and Oscar had both handed their shares to Ken.
It was a risky move, but it could take the pressure off Kelly,
Even if the black market evidence wasn’t enough to bring Patrick down, the company’s financial issues could at least delay him.
But with that, Ken would gain complete control of the company, putting Shawn in a weaker position.
“Mr. Wagner, should we take action? If Ken consolidates power, then-” The assistant sounded panicked, worried that Ken would push Shawn out of the Wagner Group entirely.
Shawn frowned, deep in thought, before responding, “Stay out of it. Don’t interfere. If there are people in the company who oppose Ken, we’ll support him instead.”
There was a long pause before his assistant stammered, “A–Are you truly siding with Ken against Mr. Patrick?”
Patrick was, after all, Shawn’s father. Even if he was illegitimate, there was still a blood tie between them.
But Ken? He was nothing more than an outsider.
“Yes.” Shawn glanced at Kelly. “I’m with Ken.”
Kelly was stunned. So it was the so–called surprise from Zev.
In the end, Ken had chosen to take the burden upon himself. And now, he would be the first one Patrick came after.
Misunderstood by many, Ken had always stood at the forefront, shielding Zev from the storm.
