"What are you trying to say?" Kelly looked at Clarissa. "Do you think I care about the Lockharts' fortune?"

"You don't care; you're above it all," Clarissa said with a hod. "But there's something you should know. Zev lost his parents when he was very young. His father was murdered, and to this day, the killer hasn't been caught. His mother, devastated by her husband's death hook her own life. Zev knows the truth-he knows that the person who killed his parents is someone close to the Lockharts, someone from within the Lockhart Group!"

Kelly furrowed her brow.

"Do you really believe that the person who tried to kill ev last night was this... Lucas?" Clarissa laughed. "Kelly, don't be so naive. Someone in the Lockhart Group wants Zev dead. Lucas just sees him as a walking bank vault. If he wants the Lockharts' money, he has to capture Zev alive."

Kelly's chest tightened, a suspicion she'd had before resurfacing.

With Zev's identity exposed, Lucas would be even more eager to capture him. But

a dead Zey wouldn't be worth much-alive, however, he'd fetch a hefty ransom.

Yet last night's accident? It was clearly meant to kill Zev.

"If Zev really falls out with Mr. Wade and loses the Lockharts' protection, his situation will be no better than when he was an undercover agent," Clarissa stood up again, her voice cold with threat. "And if he leaves the Lockharts for you, it means... he's giving up on finding out who killed his parents, giving up on exposing the traitor among them, and handing his parents' blood and hatred over to the killer."

That was the most cruel fate for Zev.

Kelly clenched her hands tightly. These were things Zey had never told her.

He didn't want her to feel guilty.

"He never told you any of this, did he?" Clarissa laughed. "Kelly, after everything you've been through, you don't really still believe in love, do you? Eric once loved you so much, and yet, even before you left for Oasisvale, he was already in bed with my sister.
