Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 176

Chapter 176 Reopening Kelly’s Parents‘ Fire Case

Kelly’s parents‘ deaths were a wound that had never healed in her heart.

Finished

Before he left, Zev wanted to help Kelly to reopen the case, to give her a glimpse of hope again. That way, even if he was gone, she could find something else to focus on, something to keep her from sinking too deep into sadness.

After getting into the car, he chuckled bitterly.

I don’t know if I can compete with Michael to get a place in Kelly’s heart after I die.

Oscar asked, “Do you want me to drop you back at the mansion?”

Zev snapped out of his reverie and shook his head. “Take me to Pinnacle Plaza.

Oscar hesitated, raising an eyebrow. Pinnacle Plaza? That entire building is full of law firms. What’s Zev planning to do there?

“It’s nothing… I just need to talk to Shaun about some matters regarding the insurance and inheritance from Kelly’s parents before their deaths,” Zev explained nonchalantly.

Oscar didn’t press him any further and drove him to Pinnacle Plaza.

Once Zev stepped out of the car, he walked briskly into the building, heading straight for the elevator and pressing the button for the 18th floor.

“Hi, Zev!” Shaun looked up in surprise as Zev entered his office.

Not many people knew Zev’s identity, but Shaun was one of the few he trusted. He was Zev’s brother–in- arms; a lawyer in Seaville who wasn’t very well–known but was respected for his honesty.

“I need to go over the will with you again, and I want to record a video of it,” Zev spoke anxiously.

He worried that if he was gone, Clarissa and Wade would certainly fight over his inheritance.

The shares of the Lockhart Group and everything his parents had left behind were all in his hands.

Years ago, Wade had given all his shares to Sylvester to bring him back into the family. When Sylvester died, those shares automatically passed to Zev. Wade had never resisted; in fact, he’d known all along that everything he worked for was meant for his children. That was also why he trusted Ken to stay by his side.

Wade had made it obvious to Ken that all of the shares went to Sylvester, and once he was gone, they

became Zev’s.

Zev knew Kelly was a doctor and had no interest in running the company, but holding these shares demonstrated his faith in Kelly.

She didn’t have to be involved in company management, but the company’s profitability and decision- making power on major projects were in her hands.

Clarissa had schemed for years to marry into the Lockharts, even going as far as using surrogacy to have a child. All for those shares. Yet, Zev would never give them to her.

“If I die and someone suddenly shows up with a kid, claiming it’s mine, won’t they still be entitled to a share of my inheritance? Even if I leave a will, the law still gives them a right, doesn’t it?” Zev muttered, paranoia creeping into his voice. He had to cut off any possibility of future trouble.

Shaun gave him a look of pure disdain. “So, you’re telling me you have an illegitimate child out there, yet you still claim to be devoted to your wife? If you were that devoted, maybe you wouldn’t have illegitimate children in the first place. Did you rush over here today because something happened outside?”

“Bah! Bah! Bah!” Zev looked irritated. “I’m clean! My heart, my body–everything belongs to my wife!”

Shaun scoffed. “Then what the hell are you so worried about?”

“I’m not worried. It’s because people’s hearts are unpredictable.” Zev sighed while sitting on the sofa; his emotions shifted rapidly.

Seeing that Zev had finally calmed down, Shaun’s expression was solemn. “All right, then keep an extra copy, just in case.”

At Gary’s Residence.

Instead of heading home after leaving Shaun’s office, Zev drove straight to Gary’s place.

“We were right. Lucas’s people are already watching me. Three of them today. Different locations. They’re waiting for me to make a move.” He sank into the couch, his brows furrowed.

Gary’s expression darkened instantly. “This is your doing.”

Zev had deliberately exposed his identity, practically baiting Lucas’s men into action.

“I couldn’t wait any longer. I wanted him to take the bait.” Zev exhaled sharply, his hands clenched into fists. “And this proves that Ken definitely has ties to Lucas.”

“Not necessarily. The Lynches and Lucas are connected, that much we know. If the old man let his guard down around Clarissa, she could’ve easily passed your situation along to Lucas.” Gary only mentioned possible scenarios.

Zev snorted. “You always find an excuse for him.”

Gary shot him a glare. “I’m just stating the facts!”
