Hubby 239 Chapter 239 A True Man Must Be Ruthless Finished Darren felt a bit uneasy. "The informant this tis actually a member of the Oasisvale's peacekeeping medical team. I have no idea how the Lynches managed to buy them off, but they have photos and evidence... They're claiming your child is the son of a terrorist named Cecil Bowen. And worse, Cecil himself has admitted the child is his." Kelly's brows drew together...
at the mention of Cecil Bowen's name, she instinctively tightened her fists.
"The child is Zev's," she murmured.
"We trust you. There's no doubt the baby belongs to Zev, but the Lynches are trying to manipulate public opinion against you. I've heard that Mr. Wade isn't in great shape, and this whole controversy is tied to who will inherit the wealth and assets." Darren exhaled heavily. "Clarissa and Beau are incredibly devious. Melody and I have been monitoring them for over two years, yet we still haven't found any definitive proof." "Stay calm. The truth will cou eventually," Kelly assured both Darren and Melody.
"Right now, we can't let sa gain control of the Lockhart Group. If she succeeds, it'll be like handing a sword to a warrior. She'll clean up her image and becuntouchable," Melody warned, her voice filled with concern.
"There are online rumors claiming the child isn't Zev's, backed up by photos, evidence, and so-called facts. What if Zev himself starts believing them..." Darren worried that even Zev might waver in his support for Kelly.

Darren gave a small nod. "I agree. Zev and Eric are completely different people. Zev is someone who takes responsibility." "But when it comes to matters of the heart..." Melody let out a weary sigh. "Mr. Wade places his full trust in Clarissa." She feared that Kelly, with her strong-willed nature, might face difficulties at the Lockharts.
Meanwhile, at the Seaville Hospital.
Wade reclined against the hospital bed, his expression cold. "Shane is a member of my family, and he will be the one to inherit it in the future.
"Those who are not of my family yet dare to try and pass themselves off as one of us, they won't get a single cent from me." His tone was sharp and unyielding. He had already dismissed the idea that Jasper was Ze hild.
"Grandpa, you're completely mistaken! It's obvious that Jasper is my son!" Zev snapped, his frustration evident. "As for that Shane, if they have the guts, let Clarissa bring out the paternity test results!" "You foolish boy! Kelly underwent a medical check-up before heading to Oasisvale. She wasn't pregnant at the time. How could this child be yours if she only becpregnant afterward? You're being fooled!" Wade smacked the bed with impatience.
1/3 57% Chapter 239 A True Man Must Be Ruthless Once he made up his mind, he knew he would have to convince everyone.
Finished But it didn't matter, his trust in Kelly was unwavering. Jasper was his son, and he didn't need anyone's approval. "Then tell Kelly to bring the child in for a paternity test!" Wade demanded.
"Why should she?" Zev erupted, unwilling to tolerate such disrespect.
"If you could have Clarissa take a paternity test, why can't I request one from Kelly? I don't believe that woman. She's ill-mannered and only knows how to latch onto powerful people. Wade scoffed, his opinion of Kelly deeply entrenched.
Zev scoffed. "Absurd. Why would I have Clarissa take a paternity test? I never even laid a finger on her. She used underhanded tactics. Letbe completely honest with you now. The sperm I provided back then wasn't even mine, so there's no way that child is related to me. But Kelly is my wife, and our baby is proof of our love!" That phrase "proof of our love" was probably the most poetic thing Zev had ever said in his entire life. Wade was momentarily dumbfounded by Zev's declaration.
Ever since childhood, Zev had always been more inclined toward math and science, with little talent for language. Writing essays was an absolute disaster for him, so the fact that he could even say "proof of our love" was a major achievement.
"You don't need to provokewith such words," Wade replied flatly, unwilling to take Zev's words at face value. "Alright, but don't ccrying tolater," Zev said as he got to his feet. "Grandpa, I finally understand. The Lockhart Group belongs to the Lockharts. Since you're not in the best condition, it's my duty to step up and help. Starting tomorrow, I'll go to the company and learn from Ken." Zev cast a knowing glance at Ken, who had been quietly standing at the doorway the whole time. Wade let out a huff. "Took you long enough to realize that." Without saying much else, Zev simply added, "Take care. I'm heading hto be with Kelly and our child." Wade was about to suggest that Kelly take a paternity test, but Ken subtly shook his head, signaling him to drop it.
Right now was not the moment to push Zev's buttons.

"Ken, Clarissa's child isn't mine. Do you have a way to convince her to take a paternity test?" Zev asked casually.
He had learned how to shift responsibility onto others. Right now, Ken and Clarissa were bitter rivals, both fighting foedominance over the Lockhart Group. If Ken wanted to secure his position, he had to find a way to prove that Clarissa's son, Shane, had no blood ties to the Lockharts. "Are you absolutely certain?" Ken let out a heavy sigh, his expression unreadable.

Ken gave a slight nod. "I'll figure out a way to get Clarissa to agree to the paternity test. I'll also arrange for media coverage. If the results prove the child isn't yours, she'll have no escape rouse left"
"As expected, a true man must be ruthless. Zev's gaze darkened as he looked at Ken, "When it comes to dealing with Clarissa, you're the best person for the job Ken parted his lips as if to speak, but after a moment, he swallowed his words and remained silent.
