Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 419 Shawn Helps Kelly Out

Kelly had not only tackled the financial troubles at Lockhart Group, but she had also managed to bring order back to the company

Her swift actions left everyone stunned.

Yet, the person most caught off guard was Quentin.

For years, Quentin had always seen Zev as a threat because of his impressive lineage. With Helena and Sylvester being business prodigies, Zev was bound to become a powerful figure, even without formal training. Quentin feared that, eventually, Zev would jeopardize his own ambitions.

But what Quentin hadn't expected was Kelly.

In less than a month, Kelly had efficiently neutralized every challenge Zev had left behind. Everyone was taken aback by how quickly and decisively she took control.

Quentin had believed that Kelly, a widow with a young child and no experience in managing a company. would crack under pressure. He thought she'd become emotional, easily manipulated, and simply sell her shares when cornered, letting him take charge.

He assumed, based on his narrow understanding of women, that she would be so overcome by fear and insecurity that she'd depend on him for everything.

But instead, Kelly had turned the chaos to her advantage, swiftly removing him from Lockhart Group and eradicating the seeds of trouble he had planted, all in less than two weeks.

"Mr. Ashford, weren't you so sure you'd win Zev and Kelly's trust? You promised that if anything happened to Zev, Kelly would just fall in line. What happened to that?" Shawn mocked, a sarcastic smile twisting his lips.

When Quentin had left Wagner Group, he'd tried to intimidate Shawn, but it wasn't until later that Shawn learned of Quentin's true intentions-he had approached Zev and Kelly with a hidden agenda.

Unfortunately, they had underestimated Kelly./

"Shawn, you're nothing but an illegitimate son. If you aren't aligned with Wagner Group, you'll never inherit it. Stop with your little schemes. Without someone giving Kelly a heads-up, she wouldn't have connected me to her suspicions so quickly," Quentin spat, slamming his hand on the table.

The elders at Wagner Group had always looked down on Shawn, viewing him as an unworthy, illegitimate

son.

Shawn simply chuckled, a cold grin playing on his face. “Not recognizing your own stupidity can be danger."
