Hubby 228 Chapter 228 Zev, Let's Go Back to Seaville * 58% Finished "Sorry, but Kelly and I are doing just fine here," Zev said firmly. "Grandpa has money, and so many people are lining up to inherit it, to be his son, his grandson. Besides, Clarissa already had an heir. That kid can be enough for him." Zev was resolute. He wasn't going to take Kelly back. He just wanted to live a happy life with her.
"Zion, can you really stand by and watch the Lockhart Group-everything your father and grandfather worked for- fall into the hands of the Lynches?" Ken sighed deeply. "Even if it's not for your grandfather's sake, for the sake of the Lockharts, you should go back... You can't let Clarissa's son inherit it all." If Wade's fortune went to that child Clarissa had, the Lynches would have succeeded. They'd taken everything from the Lockharts. After that, dealing with Beau would be far more complicated.
"These years, while you and Kelly were away from Seaville, Clarissa has been wrapping Mr. Wade around her finger. He's like a man caught in a pyramid scheme, and with that kid in the picture, Mr. Wade trusts her even more. She's already taking over the company bit by bit ..." Ken explained, his frustration evident.
If things kept going this way, the Lockharts would belong to the Lynches. Clarissa was far too ambitious. Her reach was far too long.
"Are you okay with that?" Ken asked, his voice hard.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZev scoffed and looked at Ken. "You're the one who isn't okay with it, aren't you? "So now you're trying to useto take down Clarissa? You, of all people, have been outsmarted by the Lynches? I remember when you had my grandfather fooled." Zev's words were sharp, biting.
Years ago, when Zev's father had been kidnapped and murdered, everyone had suspected Ken. Yet Wade had trusted him, even keeping him close. But now, Ken couldn't deal with the Lynches? "Zion... how you think ofdoesn't matter," Ken said, his voice quiet but firm. "But the Lockharts belong to your grandfather and your father. Your father is gone, but the Lockharts can't fall into the hands of the Lynches..." He clenched his hands, pained. "I promised your father I would never let the Lockhart Group fall into anyone else's hands..." "You don't get to mention my father!" Zev's anger flared. His emotions were out of control. Was Ken really trying to act like he had no part in Zev's public exposure and Lucas' people coming after him? His acting skills were top- notch, that much was clear.
"Ken, why did only my father die out there? You were kidnapped too. Why did you cback unharmed?" Zev's voice seethed with fury.
This was a question he'd asked more than once.
But Ken had never answered.
Now, with Lucas dead at Cecil's hands, Zev's only lead was cut off. His plan had been to capture Lucas and find out who had hired him, but now, all the clues were gone.
And Cecil had killed Lucas, clearly on purpose. Zev was certain someone back hhad ordered that hit- to silence him.

He still hadn't answered the question.
Why had he and Sylvester been kidnapped together, yet only he had cback alive? Zev glared at Ken, both of them filled with rage, tension thick in the air.
Finished Ken broke the silence first, taking a deep breath. "We're waiting for you in Seaville. If you're a man, you'll cback... Your grandfather's condition wasn't this bad before, He'd been managing it well, but Clarissa convinced him to take snew cancer drug. He looks fine on the outside, but inside, he's being drained. If this continues, your grandfather will die at the hands of the Lynches." With that, Ken turned and left.
Zev stood there, agitated, tugging at his hair, trying to regain control over his emotions. Only when he calmed down did he take a deep breath and open the door.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside the living room, Kelly was holding their son, sitting on the sofa. From the moment Zev had opened the door, she knew Wade had eventually clooking for him.
"Honey ..." Zev stood in the doorway, feeling a little awkward, afraid Kelly might be angry.
"Your grandfather clooking for you?" Kelly had already suspected this would happen. After all, Zev was his only grandson.
"I'm not going back. We'll stay here in Stoneville. It's nice here-the the culture everything eple, Zev forced a smile, but it was clear he was hiding something beneath his words.
Kelly stayed silent for a long tbefore looking up at him. "When I left Seaville, your grandfather's lawyer and Ken cto see me. They must've played you the recording, right? I said I was with you because of money."
Zev's heart skipped a beat. He rushed over to Kelly's side. "Kelly, I'm noth going back.. swear, I stay with you. Don't sendaway. Don't pushaway..." The corners of Zev's eyes were red. He thought Kelly might want to get rid of him again.
"Those words weren't true. I said them because I was afraid I wouldn't cback," Kelly murmured, her voice soft, trying to explain.
Zev pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. "You don't need to explain. I know." Having lived in Solmaris for five years, he understood Kelly better than anyone. He had never doubted her, not even once.
"Zev, let's go back to Seaville," Kelly said quietly, her words gentle but determined. "What's yo taken by the Lynches." 200 can't be
