Chapter 410 The Importance of Mutual Trust
Clarissa narrowed her eyes at Kelly, her expression hardening. "I don't want to be part of your suicidal plan
She still wanted to live, even if just a little longer.
Kelly didn't flinch, her tone turning icy. "I can end your life right now. She pointed toward the camera.
Today, Clarissa had revealed more than enough.
Her face drained of color, and her anger quickly gave way to true fear. It was clear she was terrified.
"Fine... I'll take care of it." Clarissa finally relented.
She had no choice but to comply with Kelly.
Fuming with frustration, she stormed out, her heart racing.noveldrama
Fear of death loomed over her, but in that moment, it was Kelly-the madwoman in front of her-that she feared the most.
As she took a few steps, Clarissa saw Zev coming out of the elevator.
She squinted at him. Even though she was stuck cooperating with Kelly, she wasn't going to make it easy for her.
"Zev, what a coincidence," she called out with a forced cheerfulness.
Zev, who had no intention of engaging with her, glanced over his shoulder. "Did the Lynches go bankrupt, or are you finally paying for your actions? How come you're mopping floors? I think you belong in a prison cell."
Clarissa's frown deepened as she shot him an angry look. They are both losing it. "Zev, I just came from your room. Your wife wanted to see me."
"I see. I don't mind. I don't think you're her type." Zev sneered and tried to walk past her.
Clarissa gritted her teeth. "Do you know why she called me? She tried to threaten me, pushing me to tell her the truth about her parents' deaths and Eric's betrayal. I've already told her what happened. Eric had no choice. He sacrificed everything for her. Kelly once loved him. Now that she knows everything, do you honestly think she's still on your side?"
Zev raised an eyebrow, his expression darkening. "You talk too much."
"Zev, you've known the whole time Eric had nothing to do with your parents' deaths. You even learned about the terrible burns he suffered. You know Eric had
his reasons. He loved Kelly deeply, but you kept it from her. If Kelly finds out ... Clarissa let out a cruel laugh. “She'll leave you for good."

With that, she entered the elevator
Zev, looking troubled, walked back to his room.
Kelly was reviewing the footage from the camera when Zev returned.
"Everything okay?" she asked with a wry smile, noticing Zev's mood. He always seemed someone's anger.

"You talked to Clarissa?" Zev asked casually.
"Yeah." Kelly put down the camera, meeting his gaze. "You... bumped into her?
Zev turned away, not meeting her eyes. "Did she tell you that Eric was forced to marry Regina?"
Kelly nodded. her suspicions confirmed. Clarissa must've said something to him. She just can't keep her mouth shut.
Setting the camera aside, Kelly moved closer and sat next to him. "Zev, you're really spineless sometimes... Don't you have any self-confidence?"
Zev's chest tightened with frustration, but the words stuck in his throat.
He didn't have confidence-especially when it came to Eric.
"Want to try a little harder? I'm in my ovulation period,” Kelly whispered softly as
she slid onto his lap. wrapping her arms around him.
Zev froze for a moment, his body responding with a heat he couldn't control.
He was weak when it came to her...
But, in truth, he had nothing left but Kelly.
He couldn't afford to lose her.
"I'm done with Eric. What happened before doesn't matter anymore, Zev ... I'm your wife. I went through life and death with you those five years in Solmaris. I'm yours
Zev stared at her, his gaze intense and unwavering.

"You said it yourself: If he doesn't want me, you do... and you can't back out."
Eric had changed, his heart consumed by power and greed.
But Zev, from the beginning until now, had never wavered.
"Kelly ...
you're mine. Only mine.
"Don't you ever leave me."
Because Zev had no idea what he would do if she did.
Kelly kissed him, and soon their breaths grew heavier, urgent.
In that moment, they drowned in each other's passion.
About ten days after they had arrived on Armend Island, Kelly and Zev prepared
to leave for the Cyrifts.
Leaving the country was risky, especially with Zev's special status.
But after much consideration, they decided to go anyway.

Zev understood the urgency. The people pulling the strings were growing impatient.
FIRMAL
Hanson had been repeatedly reported for minor missteps, stirring unrest within the company. To manage the fallout, Quentin had no choice but to suspend Hanson temporarily.
Fortunately, Hanson still had loyal allies within the company.
"Honey, are you worried?" Zev asked, lying next to Kelly on a hammock by the water, his eyes fixed on the endless sca.
Kelly shook her head. "Worried about what? Worried someone will come barging in to kidnap you?"
Just like how they kidnapped his father.
But this isn't Abbysia-it's the Cyrifis.
Sylvester was tricked into going to Abbysia, where he was kidnapped and killed.
Right then, Zev received a call from Quentin, suggesting he stop by Norest. "Mr. Lockhart, there's a major project we've been collaborating on. The project lead is currently in Norest. If you have time, you should visit and see if you can make contact. If we salvage this project, we might be able to save your reputation in the company."
"When?" Zev asked.
"Three days from now. I'll wait for you there," Quentin replied. The project was vital, and Zev knew it.
Kelly leaned back, sipping coconut water, her thoughts distant.
Quentin...
Quentin is someone Zev trusts, but he also has ties to the Wagner Group.
Maybe I'm just being paranoid...
"The area near Oasisvale is too close to a war zone. Don't go," Kelly urged, shaking her head.
Zev looked at her and hesitated. "I'll have Hanson arrange for you to return to the country tomorrow."
Kelly grabbed his hand tightly. "Don't trust Quentin completely. Even if it's not Abbysia ..."
Zev pulled her into a comforting embrace. "I understand what you're worried about. Whatever's meant to happen, will happen. I'll wait for it."
Zev wasn't foolish. He trusted Quentin, but he knew better than to trust anyone entirely.
He wanted to see how things unfolded once the true players revealed themselves. "Don't go..." Kelly's anxiety deepened, a sick feeling in her stomach.
It reminded her of Sylvester's betrayal-the people he trusted, turning on him and ending his life.
"I won't repeat my father's mistakes. I won't become him," Zev murmured, gently instructing Kelly to look after herself. "Go home and take care of the kids. Whatever's coming, we can't delay it any longer."
Zev was determined to force their hidden enemies into the open so he could see
who they
y were.

“Be careful of the Wagners, especially your uncles. Zev, don't trust anyone but
me. please," Kelly pleaded,
her voice cracking with emotion as she cupped his face in her hands.
Zev froze for a long moment, his eyes filled with conflicted emotions. Finally, he nodded.
"Okay," he said, his voice shaky but resolute.
