Chapter 416 He Will Return

"Kelly, Zion is still in Oasisvale, and his fate is uncertain. At a time like this, it would be wise to avoid stirring up any internal disputes within the group," Quentin said, his voice low and threatening as he addressed Kelly before the others arrived.

Zev's life hung in the balance, still controlled by Quentin.

Although he didn't explicitly state it, Kelly understood exactly what he meant.

"Isn't it better if he's dead? That way, I could inherit all of Lockhart Group's assets," Kelly replied with a smile. "Mr. Ashford, I'm not Ms. Helena. I won't throw my life away for love. My life is still worth living, especially after what I've been through... I intend to make the most of every day I have left."

Quentin's face darkened, his brow furrowing as he stared at Kelly with a complicated expression. "You don't care about Zion's life at all?"

"I'm carrying another child. Jasper and Shane are my children too. When they grow up, they'll take care of me. As for Zev... I only married him because he was going to inherit Lockhart Group," Kelly said with a laugh, leaning back in her chair. "Now that he's in trouble and the company's in turmoil, let's stop pretending. We all came to Zev for the benefits, didn't we?"

Quentin scowled, deepening his frown. "I'm not like you."

"Not like me? How so? Oh ... I never planned to take his life, but you do," Kelly shot back sarcastically, pushing him. "Mr. Ashford, you were once favored by Ms. Helena. She gave you a chance. But not only have you repaid that kindness with betrayal, but you're now trying to take her son's life."

Kelly fixed her gaze on Quentin. “I'm just sitting back and reaping the rewards."

"Kelly, do you really think you can do nothing and reap the rewards?" Quentin's face darkened further, clearly angered by her words. "With that kind of malicious attitude, you won't last long."

"We're all here for personal gain. Why act so righteous? How are you any different? You betrayed the person who helped you for profit; are your intentions not malicious?" Kelly laughed, glancing at the door as others began to file in.

"I've called everyone here today to announce something," Kelly said as she stood, addressing the people gathered in the conference room.

The room buzzed with whispers as no one understood why Kelly had called them together.

Quentin's face clouded with frustration as he gripped a pen tightly in his hand. I've underestimated Kelly ...

"Under Zev's leadership, Lockhart Group didn't experience explosive growth, but it made steady progress. Getting to where we are now is an accomplishment in itself-just holding steady is a victory. This shows that Zev had some ability," Kelly said, laying some documents on the table. "But as soon as Zev was out of the picture, someone tampered with two of our key projects.

"The crisis we're facing right now is entirely due to an insider's betrayal."
