“What are you trying to say?” Kelly looked at Clarissa. “Do you think I care about the Lockharts‘ fortune?”

“You don’t care; you’re above it all,” Clarissa said with a hod. “But there’s something you should know. Zev lost his parents when he was very young. His father was murdered, and to this day, the killer hasn’t been caught. His mother, devastated by her husband’s death hook her own life. Zev knows the truth–he knows that the person who killed his parents is someone close to the Lockharts, someone from within the Lockhart Group!”

Kelly furrowed her brow.

“Do you really believe that the person who tried to kill ev last night was this… Lucas?” Clarissa laughed. “Kelly, don’t be so naive. Someone in the Lockhart Group wants Zev dead. Lucas just sees him as a walking bank vault. If he wants the Lockharts‘ money, he has to capture Zev alive.”

Kelly’s chest tightened, a suspicion she’d had before resurfacing.

With Zev’s identity exposed, Lucas would be even more eager to capture him. But a dead Zey wouldn’t be worth much–alive, however, he’d fetch a hefty ransom. Yet last night’s accident? It was clearly meant to kill Zev.

“If Zev really falls out with Mr. Wade and loses the Lockharts‘ protection, his situation will be no better than when he was an undercover agent,” Clarissa stood up again, her voice cold with threat. “And if he leaves the Lockharts for you, it means… he’s giving up on finding out who killed his parents, giving up on exposing the traitor among them, and handing his parents‘ blood and hatred over to the killer.”

That was the most cruel fate for Zev.

Kelly clenched her hands tightly. These were things Zey had never told her.

He didn’t want her to feel guilty.

“He never told you any of this, did he?” Clarissa laughed. “Kelly, after everything you’ve been through, you don’t really still believe in love, do you? Eric once loved you so much, and yet, even before you left for Oasisvale, he was already in bed with my sister.

“And Zev–how long do you think his novelty in you will last? What’s more important to him? You, or the truth behind his parents‘ deaths and their vengeance? Or, to put it another way, his life? Without the Lockharts‘ protection, Zev will eventually be killed by the traitor who killed his parents.”

Kelly wasn’t stupid. She should understand.

“If I were you, I’d make the most of this relationship before Zev loses interest. Maximize the benefi b get out of his life. Move to another city, or even another country, and live well,” Clarissa said as she took out a check and wrote a large sum on it. “This is ten million. If you leave, the money is yours.”

Kelly didn’t even glance at the check. Her mind was consumed with the thought of Zev’s parents‘ vengeance.

Zev had to return to the Lockharts and uncover the truth behind his parents‘ deaths, or he could never have peace.

“Kelly, think carefully. Love doesn’t last. Zev went to military school when he was barely an adult. He hasn’t

Bere there were no women or entertainmer to tempt him. To him, you were a bright spot in a

desert. But when he returns home, back to the Lockharts and all the wealth, what kind of temptations won’t there be?”

Clarissa thought Kelly was far too naive.

She set the check down and smiled. “Think it over. I’ll be waiting for your answer.”

The examination room was empty except for Kelly.

She leaned against the desk, slapped the check Clarissa had given her down, and tore it into pieces before tossing it in the trash.

She had no appetite now. Kelly sent a message to Zev, Your family must be really wealthy for Clarissa to offer ten million to buy you off?”

Zev panicked. Almost immediately, he called her. “Honey! I’m not worth ten million!”

Kelly couldn’t help but laugh, yet her eyes reddening. A mist of emotions blurred her vision, “Zev, didn’t you say… if anyone tried to buy me with money, you’d pay double to keep me?”

“Honey, you’re not that kind of gold–digger…” Zev said with a teasing tone. All his money was meant for her, anyway. “Honey, don’t listen to Clarissa. Who does she think she is? You’re the queen here! A mere servant like her doesn’t get to dictate anything.”

Zev’s situation was precarious. If he fell into Lucas‘ hands, it would likely mean a mutual destruction.

Sacrificing himself could expose Lucas‘ location and force the peacekeeping force to take him down, putting him on trial.

“Who says I’m not a gold–digger? 10 or 20 million might not move me, but Zev … what if your grandpa gave me 100 million?” Kelly’s voice was hoarse, half–joking.

“Honey … I don’t think I’m worth that much,” Zev said, a little uncertain.

Kelly smiled softly. “I’m just kidding. Faye gets out of school this afternoon. Don’t forget to pick her up. I think Casey and her mom are acting strange. I asked Faye, and she said Stan transferred into her class. He’s been bullying her at school, and at home, he fights with her for toys. Dawn’s being biased and even pushed Faye.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already got backup. We’ll take care of that Stan,” Zev teased, trying to cheer her up.
