Chapter 453 Tough Road

Gary's hand stiffened suddenly, his breath quickening as he looked up at Ken.

Ken met his gaze, his eyes slowly reddening.

He didn't speak again; he only smiled-a heart-wrenching smile.

Back then, Sylvester knew there was no going back. Those men were out for his

life, so even if the Lockharts paid a hefty ransom, it wouldn't save him.

Since it was a situation where death was inevitable, Sylvester thought... he might as well send Ken back.

One of them had to make it out alive.

Ken was young, and life had already been tough on him...

Sylvester wanted him to survive.

So when they provoked the kidnappers, and the kidnappers forced Ken to commit murder, Sylvester understood.

As long as he died, Ken would have a slim chance.

But he ... had to die by Ken's hand.

Those men needed to ensure they had "evidence" of Ken committing murder to keep him under control.

"They left evidence of me killing Sylvester and told me that even if I didn't join them, I couldn't escape... They threatened me, and I agreed. That's why they let me go." Ken's voice was hoarse.

Patrick's men thought they could control Ken this way. As long as Ken didn't explain, everyone would suspect him, and all the pressure would fall on him.

Moreover, Patrick believed that Ken, being capable, would eventually serve him. So many years ago, Patrick planted Ken within the Lockhart Group, thinking he could destabilize it during Zev's crisis.

Patrick never anticipated that Kelly, a mere woman, could stabilize the situation after Ken left. He also didn't expect Ken's allegiance to be a facade...

"When I returned to Seaville and everyone misunderstood me, only Mr. Wade believed in me. He said he trusted me-that his son Sylvester ... might have been betrayed by someone close but would never blame me..." Ken lowered his head, tears falling on his hands.

Wade had been like a mentor to Ken

He confided everything to Wade, who didn't blame him for Sylvester's death, understanding that Sylvester had willingly sacrificed for Ken.
