Beau watched as Clarissa entered, the door clicking shut behind her. "Is Zion still hanging on?" he asked,

his tone flat.

"He'd be better off dead," Clarissa replied without a hint of emotion. "Dad, you don't understand. His injuries are that bad. I heard from Wade that he's still in the ICU."

Beau frowned, narrowing his eyes. "And if he dies, how are you going to marry him? Even if he ends up disabled, you're still tied to him. The family need the Lockharts' connections."

Clarissa leaned back, an amused smile tugging at her lips. "Don't worry, Dad. I've already got it figured out. I've got Wade on my side." She paused for a moment, then added, “Before Zion went off to the army, Wade made him freeze his sperm. So, even if he dies, it won't matter. I just need to carry his child."

Beau raised an eyebrow, his expression hardening. "Wade actually agreed to that?"

Clarissa shrugged, unfazed. “I think Zion's injuries are serious enough. Wade told me to think it over, but if I'm fine with it, he'll set up the IVF. When Zion's a little better, we can get married." She grinned, admiring her nails. "Once I have the Lockharts' heir, Zion's death won't change anything. Wade will eventually pass on, and then... everything the Lockharts have will be ours."

Beau paused, lifting his cup of tea. After a beat, he chuckled softly. "You really are your father's daughter, Clarissa. Always making the best of a situation."

Clarissa straightened, a surge of pride filling her chest. "Dad, don't worry. Once the baby's here, this child will carry the Lockharts' bloodline. It's the key to the Lynches' future."

She was already thinking ahead. Once the child was born and Zion was out of the way, the baby would be the sole heir to the Lockhart Group.

She would control it all.

And after that, no one would dare look down on the Lynches again.
