Chapter 414 Two Equally Dangerous Choices

Quentin was sine that Kelly would eventually be forced to sell the Wagner Group shares she had inherited from ey to the Walmers.

After all, the Wagners were practically family, and Patrick was Zev's uncle.

They had meticulously planned everything, and their scheme seemed foolproof. The problem? They had seriously underestimated Kelly's sharp mind.

Even without Wade's warnings about the Wagners, Kelly had already begun to grow suspicious of them.

Despite the Lockharts' extensive resources, Zev's talents, and Ken's influence, they hadn't been able to detect even the slightest hint of danger. That in itself was unsettling.

Moreover, Ken's sudden defection-leaving Wade's side to join the Wagner Group-was a glaring red flag.

It was a sign to Kelly that she needed to be wary of Wagner Group's intentions.

"Kelly, are you really going to sell your Wagner Group shares to them?"

Before she could reply, Kelly received an unexpected call from an unfamiliar number. It was Shawn.

His voice sounded rushed and strained, as if he was being monitored or forced to keep his tone low. Somehow, he had managed to reach her using a different phone line.

Kelly frowned. "Lockhart Group is in a financial bind. I need to save the company." Her shares were now the only solution left. They had become essential.

"Don't sell..." Shawn's voice was tight. "Even if you have to sell, don't sell them to Wagner Group. Don't let Patrick get his hands on them..."

"Why?" Kelly hesitated, her mind racing. She was about to ask more questions when Shawn hurried on.

"Kelly, I don't have much time. I want to buy your shares, but I don't have enough money. If Wagner Group buys them under the company's name, Patrick and Gary will take control. Gary doesn't run the company, but that means Patrick would hold complete power over everything."

Kelly stood still as she processed his words.
