Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Hubby 405

Zev hadn't left the office in over a day.

He hadn't even taken a moment to rest. His mind buzzed, a blur of calculations and strategy. But it wasn't enough.

Ken had flipped. Out of nowhere, he'd turned on them, and now the company was in chaos.

First, Clarissa left. Then Ken followed, and now Stuart had seized the chance to make a mess of everything He'd pulled his people out and walked out of the

Lockhart Group.

Zev's grip on the situation was slipping fast.

Behind all this, the figures pulling the strings, the ones who'd been quiet when Wade left, were now showing their true faces. The masks had come off.

Quentin sat across from Zev, his face drawn with concern. "Mr. Zion. The company's situation... it's not looking good for you. Most of the core team are questioning your judgment, your decisions.

Zev rubbed his forehead, the pressure behind his eyes too much to ignore. Hanson saw the pain in his movements. "You're still burning up with fever. You haven't slept in over 24 hours. Please some rest. We'll hold things together here."

Zev waved him off, his determination unshaken. He couldn't leave now. There was too much to fix, too much that needed his attention-the company, his grandfather's legacy, everything.

Ken's gone. That leaves only Fabian and Jacques. Both have ties to Wade. But... they're close with Ken. If Ken
