Ken stood outside the door for a long time, momentarily lost in thought before smiling. Whether it was true or not, he never would have imagined Wade including him in the inheritance. Just then, Zev opened the door and immediately spotted Ken. His eyes flashed with hatred. “Heh… Ken instinctively grabbed Zev’s wrist. “Zion… don’t worry, I don’t want anything from the Lockharts.” “Don’t touch me! Disgusting.” Zev jerked his hand away and walked off without looking back.

Ken remained still, his fingers slightly tense.

He lowered his head, smiling bitterly before stepping into the room.

“Mr. Wade… the project team just called …”

Wade steadied himself against the couch and waved a hand. “Forget about the project for now. I need you to handle something in secret. No one can know.”

“What is it?” Ken asked in a low voice.

“Get a strand of Shane’s hair and have it tested. Make sure no one finds

Ken took a deep breath.

This time, Wade took Zev’s words to heart.

out.”

“Come with me to check on the child.” Deep down, Wade still didn’t want to believe Zev.

He genuinely liked Shane.

Clarissa said the child was sick, and he wanted to see for himself whether it was true.

In Clarissa’s room.

Shane curled up in the corner, clutching his toy tightly too afraid to meet Clarissa’s eyes.

Clarissa paced back and forth, her expression tense as she anxiously thought over something.

A thought suddenly struck Clarissa, and her gaze turned cold and ruthless as she looked at Shane.

Without hesitation, she grabbed him and dragged him into the bathroom, pouring cold water over his head.

She needed Shane to get sick.

Anything to buy herself more time while Wade still trusted her.

Shane was terrified. He didn’t even dare to cry, only trembling uncontrollably, his small body shaking

Someone as small as hint probably couldn’t understand that a mother could refuse to love her own child.

To her, he was just a pawn

But even at his age, he understood envy.

He envied how Jasper had a mother and father to hold him …

While he had no one.

“Mommy…” he choked out between sobs, desperately trying to awaken some trace of motherly love in

Clarissa.

But this woman had none to give.

To Clarissa, Shane was just a pawn. Now that he was no longer “pure“, she wanted to get rid of this burden -there was no room for motherly love.

Shane cried until his voice was hoarse. After being drenched in cold water, his body started burning with fever.

“Mommy…”

Clarissa dragged him out of the bathroom, his wet hair dripping onto the floor. She pushed him onto the balcony. “Stay here. Don’t come inside.”

Shivering uncontrollably, Shane curled up in the corner, waiting for his mother to let him back in.

Clarissa sat on the couch, impatiently scrolling through her phone, waiting for news from Assad’s people.

She needed to get rid of Zev as quickly as possible–he was a threat. Only then could she take her time dealing with Kelly.

Without Zev to rely on, she wanted to see what Kelly could do.

Knock, knock, knock. A voice came from outside.

“Clarissa, it’s me,” Wade had come to see Shane.

Clarissa sprang to her feet, hurried to the balcony, and pulled Shane back inside. She quickly dried his hair- with a towel before leaning down to warn him, her voice low. “No matter who asks you anything, don’t say

a word.”

Shane, terrified, nodded before she tucked him under the blanket.

Taking a deep breath, Clarissa steadied herself and went to open the door. “Grandpa.”

Her performance was flawless–her eyes turned red. “Shane is running a fever.”

Wade stepped inside, worried as he looked at the trembling child in bed. “Shane? I’m here.”

Seeing Shane’s damp hair and flushed, feverish cheeks, it was obvious–he was truly sick.

Thinking back to Zev’s words, Wade hesitated.

Zev’s words, Wade he
