Kelly, this situation Isn't urgent, but the finances can't wait Quentin said, his volee thick with fri He gazed at Kelly, letting out a tired sigh. "The police are still searching for Zlon. Before he return a plan to handle Lockhart Group's financial crisis.

Kelly sat frozen, her mind numb, the weight of his words pounding in her ears.

If it weren't for Wade's warning about the Wagners before his death, or if she hadn't forced Clarissa to spill the truth, she might have remained as blind as Zev, trusting the Wagners and Quentin just like before,

Now that Lockhart Group was on the brink of financial ruin, everything Quentin said seemed so reasonable. Kelly could easily believe him, casily be swayed.

"Kelly, if you're unsure, why not sell the Wagner Group shares to the Wagners? You're all family. It won't make much of a difference, right?" Quentin urged, his tone gentle but persistent. "If you don't trust Shawn, then sell them to Patrick. He's Zion's uncle; he's not an outsider."

Kelly barely heard him, lost in her thoughts. But when Quentin mentioned Patrick, her mind snapped back.

Patrick was the chairman of the Wagner Group, but not its only major shareholder. Both Helena and Gary had stakes too.

Patrick's share was a third of their 60% control, just 20% of the total stock.

Years ago, Osbert had planned to pass Gray Group down to Helena. Gary, being a soldier, owned shares in the company but had no involvement in its operations. Helena had always managed them on his behalf.

Patrick, on the other hand, had never shown much enthusiasm for running the business. He lacked a natural talent for leadership, and his rigid, old-fashioned approach made him far less capable than Helena..

While Helena was in charge, Wagner Group thrived. But after her passing, under Patrick's leadership, the company remained steady-neither making major missteps nor achieving remarkable success.

Now that Shawn had taken over, there was finally some real

progress.

Kelly couldn't quite wrap her head around it. Patrick never seemed interested in corporate management. I heard that, back then, he even wanted to hand the company over to Helena entirely so he could travel the world. Osbert had blown up at him, forcing him to stay.

But if Patrick is after the shares... Why? He's already withdrawn from the company's leadership. What would he gain from them?

"Kelly?" Quentin asked, sensing her confusion but not pushing it. "Take your time to think it over. There's a lot to consider, and I'll leave you to it. Call me when you've made up your mind."

Once Quentin left, it felt as though the burden of the decision was now entirely on Kelly.

Without Zev, if she refused to hand over the shares to save Lockhart Group, she would be blamed for its collapse. She would carry that responsibility forever and not be able to face Zev upon his return.
