Chapter 243 Zev's First Day at Lockhart Group

The private room fell into silence. Everyone had heard about the infamous kidnapping and murder case that had once shocked Abbysia-the tragic case involving the son of the wealthiest family.

It was a kidnapping that left all who knew of it filled with regret.

Even now, the Wagners refused to speak of it...

Oscar had once brought it up in a drunken state, lamenting that the Wagners had served in the military for three generations. Whether in politics, business, or social circles, their connections, wealth, and status were all top-tier. Though they couldn't compare to the Lockharts, they had never been inferior either. And yet ... after all these years, they still hadn't uncovered the truth behind that kidnapping and murder.

That kidnapping didn't just take the life of Zev's father-it also led to the suicide of Helena, Oscar's aunt and Zev's mother, who took her own life not long after.

That shocking case was a wound neither the Lockharts nor the Wagners could bear to mention. It was their deepest shame.

"It looks like this is going to be a tough battle ... " Darren murmured.

The forces backing their enemy might be even more terrifying than anyone had imagined.

For someone to remain hidden for so many years without being discovered, they must be exceptionally cunning and ruthless.

And to have nurtured a blood-sucking family like the Lockharts...

"Beau was just an ordinary man with no notable background. Back then, he only managed to establish himself at Seaville Hospital because of his wife's family connections. Later, he founded his first pharmaceutical company, but its performance was mediocre at best. If you look into how he built his fortune, it's clear-there's no way he's clean." Kelly turned to Zev. "And Clarissa... no matter how much of a business prodigy she might be, there's no way she could have elevated the Lockhart Group to its current heights in just a few short years without someone backing her from the shadows."

Which meant that Zev's return to the Lockhart Group was going to be an uphill battle as well.
