Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 318

Zev leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable as he surveyed the room.

External threats mattered, but the most pressing issue was the turmoil within.

“Mr. Zion, we can’t afford to let the Brooks pull out their investment! If our financial chain collapses, Lockhart Group will take a massive hit. Besides, several major projects in Westville and Hopeville depend on their funding!”

“Yeah, the Brooks are essential to Lockhart Group’s stability!”

If the Brooks withdrew, everyone’s interests would suffer.

“I heard that Thea attempted suicide recently because of your wife. Did she upset the Brooks? You need to handle this immediately and have her apologize.”

“Yes! If she doesn’t, things will only get worse!”

Clarissa’s allies deliberately stoked the flames, heightening the tension.

Clarissa shot a smug glance at Zev before provocatively looking at Ken. If the Brooks withdrew, not even Ken could save Zev.

Ken’s expression darkened, and his fists were clenched. He knew Zev would never force Kelly to apologize.

Just then, the secretary broke the tension from outside. “Mr. Zion, your wife is here …”

Clarissa’s smirk vanished as Kelly appeared at the door. “It’s inappropriate. This is the Lockhart Group, not the Lockhart Mansion. Meetings are for executives, not outsiders.”

Her supporters chimed in, fanning the flames. “Mr. Zion, we’re in the middle of a meeting. Your wife doesn’t work here–should she be interrupting?”

Zev was taken aback. Kelly had finished her exam in the morning and was supposed to see Jasper and Shane. Yet, she had come here instead.

“Honey…” He stood up, walking toward her in a silent show of support.

Kelly wouldn’t have come without a reason, especially not during an ongoing meeting.

“Is everything alright?” she asked.

“I’ve got it under control,” Zev assured her.

“Mr. Zion, it’s meeting time! The Brooks‘ matter hasn’t been resolved yet.”

“Exactly! This is unacceptable!”

Clarissa’s supporters quickly accused Zev and Kelly of disrupting the meeting.

“Aren’t you all concerned about the Brooks? Since I’m the one who supposedly offended Thea and drove her to attempt suicide, shouldn’t I be here to clear things up?” Kelly’s voice was steady.

Her composure was striking, a testament to her experience as a doctor.

Clariva let out a mocking laugh Walking straight into disaster, are you? Since you admit to causing this crisis for the Lockhart Groups, let’s hear how you plan to fix it

Svarthy! This is courageous. You can’t let your matters drag the company down!” others chimed in, shifting all the blame onto Kelly

said I came to explain, Kelly replied coolly. Then, turning to Clarissa he added, “Ms. Lynch, you seem a tinle too eager to stir up chaos when the company needs unity the most.”

Ken’s allies spoke up in frustration, “That’s right. At such a crucial time, instead of standing together, you’re fueling internal strifed

Clarissa’s gaze turned icy as the tension in the room thickened.

“Fine,” she said with a smirk. “Then explain yourself.”

Kelly checked the time before looking toward the door. “Since everyone’s so concerned about the Brooks pulling out, why not let Mr. Brooks speak for himself?”

Clarissa scoffed. “Are you insane, Kelly? You angered the Brooks, pushed his beloved sister to attempt suicide, and now you expect him to come here and vouch for you?”

The others joined in mocking Kelly, waiting to see how she’d get herself out of it.

Just then, a soft knock came from the door. The secretary peeked in nervously and looked at Zev. “Mr. Zion, Mr. Brooks is here.”

Vincent entered with a dark expression. However, when his gaze landed on Kelly, a flicker of hesitation appeared.
