Zev frowned slightly and gestured for Kelly to calm down. "Clarissa might be the major shareholder of the club, but others also hold shares. She's never directly involved in its operations-only the profits. There's no evidence directly tying her to what happened, so for now, only the on-site managers have been arrested... But tracing the source is only a matter of time."

Zev assured Kelly that soon, they would pin everything on Clarissa.

And this time, she wouldn't be able to wipe her hands clean.

"Was there anything else?" Kelly still looked uneasy, her gaze fixed on Zev.

He hesitated briefly but eventually said it. "Darren, he ..."

"What happened to Darren?" Kelly shot to her feet in panic.

"Darren was helping Oscar stay in touch with the informant. Then they lost contact. The boy at the club was discovered-they tried to silence him. Darren couldn't reach him by phone, so he rushed there on his own... He got hurt trying to save him." Zev gently took Kelly's hand. "Oscar already got him to the hospital. He's going to be okay."

Kelly's head buzzed as she gripped Zev's hand tightly.

Zev quickly wrapped her in his arms, trying to calm her down. "Kelly, it's okay. It's really okay. Oscar's people were there."

"Michael..." Kelly's whole body was trembling. "He's Michael's... brother. I promised Michael I would protect Darren, that nothing would happen to him ...

She clung to Zev's shirt like it was her only lifeline in a storm. She couldn't fail Michael again.

Darren and Melody had secretly been building their case. It was inconceivable that Clarissa's network hadn't detected their activities. Darren's sudden rescue attempt tonight revealed his hand,
