Chapter 459 Patrick Doesn’t Consider Anyone Family
Gary just stood there, staring at Ken, and they had not yet stepped out of the elevator.

An employee pressed the elevator button to go upstairs. However, upon seeing Gary’s low mood, he was frightened and quickly closed the elevator door, not daring to enter.
Ken didn’t respond, so Gary kept waiting.
He was waiting for his answer.
Actually, Gary had an intention to force Ken to stay.
He knew that Ken couldn’t let go of the hatred in his heart, nor could he let go of Zev, Kelly, and their child.
All he wanted was for Ken to remain by his side.
Even if they went down, they would go down together.
“Actually, you know I won’t leave. I won’t choose to leave at this moment and live a peaceful life.” Ken let out a sarcastic laugh, looking at Gary. “Even if it’s a dead end, I’ll stay, but not for you… Between us, there will never be any progress or close relationship again.”
Ken clearly told Gary.
They could never return to a time when they trusted each other and were friends.
He pressed the elevator door button and turned to leave.
He wouldn’t leave. He would fight side by side with Gary, Zev, and Kelly.
But his relationship with Gary would never progress any further.
Gary stood in the elevator, lowering his head and bitterly smiling.
It turns out that people really don’t wait forever for someone else.
A delayed apology is always meaningless.
Because the hurt has already been done.
And Gary understood Ken–he was someone who seemed easy to talk to but was actually more resolute than anyone else in his heart.
No one could change Ken’s decision once he made it.
He wouldn’t easily forgive others, but he also wouldn’t hold a grudge forever.
Gary had hurt his heart, so he would distance himself.
There was no talk of hatred nor forgiveness.
None of that mattered to him.
“I’ll take you back,” Gary said, chasing after Ken as he walked to the company entrance.

Ken was about to say something, but Gary spoke first, “Since you’ve decided to stay, at least we now have a cooperative relationship. If you died, it would mess up Zion and Kelly’s plans and steps, so you can’t get
hurt.”
Gary opened the car door and gestured for Ken to get in.
After a moment’s thought, Ken got into Gary’s car.
“During this time, stay at my place. If you don’t want to see me, I’ll move out, and you can stay with the kids.” Gary spoke softly.
He knew Ken wouldn’t turn back, but he didn’t want to give up either.
“No need. It’s your home, and me staying there is already an inconvenience. Thank you for protecting my safety. I will cover the cost of my accommodations for the duration of my stay,” Ken stated, tactfully establishing a boundary with Gary.
Gary felt a bit disappointed and spoke quietly, “Forget the accommodation fee; I’m not short on that. If you stay at my place, you can cook for the kids. I’m not good with kids, and I don’t trust a nanny. After all, Patrick can infiltrate anyone …”
Ken thought for a moment and nodded. “All right, we won’t owe each other anything.”
Gary looked at Ken, wanting to say something more, but his throat tightened. In the end, he swallowed his words.
Because his lack of trustworthiness had made Ken fight alone in loneliness for so many years. That was his fault. He couldn’t rush it. He would slowly try to earn Ken’s trust again.
At Kelly’s residence.
Kelly had just returned from the company, her face not looking well. There were too many people from Patrick’s faction hiding in Lockhart Group, and although Clarissa had provided a list, it wasn’t complete. A cautious person like Patrick would certainly not fully trust the Lynches, so he must have planted his people in important positions.
If those people weren’t exposed now, it would pose an unseen threat in the future.
But it had been almost a week, and there was still no clue.
Kelly hadn’t been sleeping well during her pregnancy, couldn’t eat properly, and wasn’t getting enough nutrition, causing frequent dizziness.
“Honey, leave the company matters to Hanson. Your health comes first,” Zev said. He knew that Kelly had been busy with work these past few days, and had taken the time to come back to check on her.
Seeing Zev, Kelly finally sighed in relief. “Has there been any news about Cecil?”
It had already been a week…
Logically speaking, Cecil had only gone to Beau’s hometown to bring a child back. How could long?
ake so
“Cecil is on a mission. Unless the mission is complete or fails, there’s no way to contact him. This guy-

every time he goes on a mission, it’s like he’s ready to face death” Zev also expressed some concern about
Cecil.
Cecil knew that Beau’s illegitimate child was the key, so he would do whatever it took to complete the mission, even if it meant dying.
“Patrick also knows that the child is the key. He won’t let Cecil take the child so easily…” Kelly leaned on the table, looking at Zev.
Her vision was darkening, likely from staying up late, and she was on the verge of collapsing.
“Go rest.” Zev quickly stepped forward and held Kelly in his arms. “No matter what happens, we’ll be here to support you. Your only task now is to take care of yourself.”
Kelly leaned her head on Zev’s shoulder. “Patrick has already found a way to deal with Lockhart Group. If we don’t quickly uncover the dangers he’s planted, there could be problems…
Zev looked at her with concern. “Don’t be afraid. Even if Lockhart Group goes bankrupt, you are more important than anything.”
Kelly helplessly tightened her hold on Zev. She knew he was speaking from the heart, but she didn’t want to see Lockhart Group fall because of Patrick.
“Patrick … He relies on manipulating his family to achieve his so–called great plans. He’s a terrifying person.” Kelly sighed. “Maybe, from the very beginning, he never considered you as family. The Lockharts might just be a pawn to him, a tool he can use. Maybe even your mom was just another piece in his
game…
Perhaps, back when Helena and Sylvester were together, it had all been part of Patrick’s scheme.
Helena’s death … was bound to be related to Patrick..
“Family?” Zev sneered.
Someone like Patrick… Who has he ever treated as family? He could use even his own son, so who couldn’t he manipulate?
He uses everyone and everything he can, seeing them all as stepping stones.
“Get a good sleep. I’ll take care of everything?”
Zev gently placed Kelly on the bed and tucked her in. “I’ll stay here with you.”
Without Zev by her side, Kelly found it difficult to sleep peacefully.
But with him beside her, she could finally close her eyes, feeling safe and at ease.
Before long, Kelly nervously grasped Zev’s wrist. “If you’re going to leave, wake me up
She was scared …
Without Zev, she couldn’t bring herself to sleep deeply.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’ll stay with you the whole night,” Zev said as he lay beside Kelly and…eld her
close.
Only then did Kelly finally relax, nestling into Zev’s embrace and slowly closing her eyes.

Zev looked at her, his heart aching as he held her tighter. “It’ll be over soon… very soon.”

The Wagner Residence.
Patrick sat in his study, answering the phone. “Boss, the one trying to take Beau’s illegitimate child recently is Cecil…”
“That mercenary? Eliminate him, and make sure it’s clean.” Patrick’s voice was low, his eyes narrowing.
He knew that Cecil had once been under Lucas’s command, and he knew Cecil wasn’t easy to deal with.
But he had employed Cecil in Oasisvale. How had Cecil suddenly returned to Seaville and started working against him?
Patrick’s eyelid twitched, his chest tightened. “Keep him alive, get him to talk, and find out who he’s really working for! Also … have your people confirm if Zev is really dead!”
