Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 411 So This Is His Goal

Kelly arrived back in her home country while Zev continued his trip to Norest.

When Hanson came to pick her up at the airport, his pale face and tense demeanor were impossible to

miss

"Kelly, you shouldn't have let Mr. Lockhart go to Norest," Hanson said, his voice laced with concern

Since leaving Lockhart Group, Hanson had been keeping busy, but something about the situation didn't sit right with him. He couldn't shake the feeling that Zev was in danger.

Kelly's voice was soft, carrying a heavy tone. "Sometimes, he has to hit a wall before he gets it.

She was worried too, but if Zev didn't face the truth himself, it might take him much longer to see the Wagners for what they really were.

"Hey, Kelly"

As soon as they exited the airport, Melody and Oscar were already waiting for her.

Kelly was taken aback. She hadn't told them she was coming back. "Melody, what are you doing here? I didn't say I was coming back...

Melody and Oscar exchanged confused looks. "Wait, Kelly didn't tell you? Then why did you ask me to pick her up with you?"

Oscar looked over at Kelly. "My uncle wanted me to come. He's worried you might not be safe."

Kelly frowned. Gary is worried for my safety?

"Kelly, are you alright?" Melody noticed her pale face.

"Oh, I'm fine," Kelly replied, forcing a smile. “Let's just go home."

"I envy you two. You have time for fun while Oscar's stuck at the police station. Who has time for fun these days?" Melody sighed wistfully. "Did you have a good time? Where's Zev? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Kelly gazed out the window, lost in thought. Why would Gary think I'm not safe? What is he so worried about?

"Kelly?" Melody noticed Kelly's distracted expression.

Snapping out of her thoughts, Kelly gave an apologetic smile. "Sorry, Melody, I'm just a bit tired. Zev had to go back to work. I couldn't handle it, so I came home first."

Melody's sharp mind caught on. "Couldn't handle it?"

"I'm pregnant," Kelly said, her smile warm. "It's our second child."

Melody froze for a second, her face lighting up in shock. Then, she grinned widely. "Wow! You didn't waste any time, huh? Already expecting number two!"

Kelly blushed a little. "Zev wanted a fittle princess."

Melody let out a dramatic sigh, lounging back in her seat. "Oscar, I'm upset with you now."

Oscar laughed. Fine Well both give it our best slotenoveldrama

You're an idiot, Melody muttered, rolling her eyes.

Oscar glanced at Kelly through the rearview mirror. "Kelly, congratulations. "Thanks, Oscar, Kelly smiled.

She had intentionally shared the news with Oscar. She trusted him, and she trusted Melody. But Patrick and Gary? Not so much.

By telling Oscar, she knew the news would make its way to Patrick and Gary. This would ease their worries about Zev and her possibly divorcing to protect their assets, and it would give her the chance to keep an eye on the Wagners' next moves.

And this would help Zev catch the Wagners off guard.

Once back at home, Kelly resigned from her hospital job and settled into a "resting routine.

Zev's time in Norest seemed uneventful, with no signs of anything unusual. Just as Kelly began to relax, thinking she might have been overreacting, Zev stopped communicating entirely.

Kelly sat on the couch, her body tense as she called Zev repeatedly. No answer. "Honey, no matter what, trust me. I won't die. I'll come back.

"Kelly ... wait for me. Don't trust anyone."

Kelly gripped her phone tightly, her mind racing. All she could do was pray.

She hoped Zev had prepared himself for whatever lay ahead.

"Kelly, something's happened!"

On the eighth day since Zev's disappearance, Hanson rushed into the villa, panic evident on his face. "Quentin came back. He called the police, saying Mr. Lockhart has been kidnapped, but there's still no sign of the kidnappers. He said he searched Norest for a long time but couldn't find Zev, so he returned."

"There's something fishy about Quentin ... " she said with quickened breath while biting her finger. Her instincts were screaming. She was certain Quentin was hiding something.

"Kelly, Mr. Lockhart ... " Hanson spoke urgently.

Caden and Sidney had also heard about Zev's kidnapping and arrived, their anxiety clear.

"Kelly, what's going on with Zev?" Sidney asked, his voice filled with concern. "How could he be so reckless and go to Norest? Doesn't he remember what happened to his dad...

Kelly slumped, her voice heavy with.exhaustion. "I don't know...

Caden, nearly in tears, choked out, "I've already had people looking for him, but there's nothing ...

"Have the kidnappers contacted you?" Sidney asked, his brows furrowed.

Kelly shook her head.

Sidney's expression grew darker. He stepped aside to take a phone call.

Finished

When he hung up, his face was grave. He turned to Kelly, his eyes conflicted before speaking to Caden.

"You take care of Kelly. I'll go out for a bit."

Sidney hurried off, clearly having caught wind of something.

Kelly's heart pounded as she clutched her phone, waiting for any news on Zev.

Caden and Hanson were desperately making calls in the living room. Kelly sat frozen, praying for good

news.

Please, nothing can happen to Zev.

The phone rang, making her jump. She answered quickly, only to find it wasn't Zev. It was Clarissa.

"I heard Zev's in trouble. He's so stupid. His dad-"

"Do you need something?" Kelly cut her off, her voice calm but controlled.

"I've got what you asked for," Clarissa said reluctantly.

"Good... I'll contact you when the time comes."

Kelly leaned back on the sofa, massaging her temples. The headache was unbearable.

"Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Ashford is here," the maid announced quietly.

Quentin had already arrived, holding a pile of contracts in his hands.

"Kelly, I'm sorry about Zion ... The company's a mess, and I couldn't break free to come sooner," Quentin sighed. "But now's not the time to mourn. Sometimes, no news is the best news."

Kelly nodded, her eyes red as she watched Quentin closely.

"The Westend and Starbound projects are in serious trouble. With Zion gone, you're the only one who can make the decisions. The funding chain's broken." Quentin was on edge. "This isn't a small amount. We're talking hundreds of billions..."

Kelly rubbed her forehead, trying to focus. These were key projects for Lockhart Group. If they failed, the company would take an irreversible hit.

I've underestimated the forces behind all this.

"Is there a way to fix it?" Kelly asked, her voice barely audible. "Zion holds shares in the Wagner Group. They were left to him by Ms. Helena. Those shares aren't worth much to him, but I remember he gave them to you, Kelly... With Zion gone, now's the time when Lockhart Group's survival is on the line. I'm sure you're willing to use those shares to save the company, right?" Quentin's words pressed down on her with moral weight.

"This is the only option now-sell the Wagner Group shares and turn them into

funds to help Lockhart Group." he insisted.

Kelly's cars rang as she stared at Quentin. So this is his goal.

This whole mess? It's all been about Zev's shares in the Wagner Group

It's true-possessing something of value would make you the target of every

predator.
