Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 348

Chapter 348 Zev Got Drunk

Finished

Hanson gasped, surprised. Quentin had just joined Lockhart Group and didn’t fully understand Zev yet. but Hanson did.

Kelly was Zev’s Achilles’s heel, his bottom line.

Zev could live without the Lockhart Group, but he couldn’t live without Kelly.

Everyone expected Zev to get angry, to turn against Quentin, but to their surprise, he remained calm.

Hanson was also a bit shocked that Zev didn’t get angry.

Quentin, Ken, Stuart, and Wade were all the same kind of businessmen. After years of navigating the whirlpool of interests, an arranged marriage was the quickest solution they could think of.

“If I weren’t married and didn’t have a partner, maybe I would have agreed to your proposal,” Zev replied to Quentin calmly.

In fact, he had known for a long time that this was how the business world worked, which was one of the reasons why he didn’t want to take over the group.

Just like Caden’s older brother, Sidney, who was also pressured by his family into an arranged marriage with a woman he didn’t love.

Sidney fought against it for a long time, even paying a heavy price for his resistance. After Sidney took control, he made sure to protect his younger brother, Caden, very well.

Although Sidney didn’t like Caden indulging in a lavish, carefree lifestyle, he never restricted his brother from having the freedom to love as he wished.

“But if I were to choose to abandon my wife and child for the sake of the company and profit, and marry someone who benefits me, then I would be a traitor, a man who forsakes loyalty for gain.” Zev thought of

Eric.

Back then, Eric, driven by profit, filed a death certificate for Kelly while she was still alive in Solmaris, and went on to marry someone else.

“Associating with such people will only bring harm to oneself,” Zev knew that Quentin understood this principle.

Quentin decided to leave Wagner Group and distance himself from Shawn because he knew that Shawn was a ruthless leader, not a gentleman.

He knew that eventually, Shawn would secure his position within Wagner Group, and once that happened, Quentin would never find peace again.

That’s why Quentin chose Zev.

By suggesting that Zev divorce Kelly, Quentin was not only testing Zev but also assessing his true character.

He needed to understand whether, alongside Zev’s ability to make decisive moves, he was also a person with a conscience–someone who could be trusted to support and help without hesitation.

It was clear that Zey had earned Quentin’s approval.

Quentin nodded and smiled. “If you’re not going to secure your position through marriage, then it’s all about raw power. Since you don’t have the formal background, you’ll need to work much harder than Shawn.”

Zev nodded resolutely. “I can do that.”

Hanson sighed, feeling a bit sorry for Zev. This was the most sensitive period of power transition at Lockhart Group, and Zev was exhausted. In a day of 24 hours, the time he could spend at home was very limited.

In addition to handling company matters, he also had to deal with the social events he disliked the most.

Connections were indeed an essential part of this circle.

All the pressure was forcing Zev to change, gradually transforming him from someone who despised flattery and false pleasantries into someone more diplomatic in handling situations.

“Tonight… the young heirs from Seaville’s circle are gathering. You’ve rarely attended these events before, but this time, you should definitely make an appearance,” Hanson said quietly.

These young heirs were mostly spoiled and idle, some had already taken over their family businesses, but many, like Caden, spent their days idly.

Yet, despite their carefree lifestyles, the influence of their families was undeniable.

Shawn was busy attending matchmaking events with high–society women, so Zev had to make sure to get along with the second–generation heirs.

Zev rubbed his forehead. “Got it.”

Even though he hated it, he still had to go.

At Zev’s residence.

Kelly had been taking care of the kids at home after returning from the hospital.

Zev hadn’t been home for a week; he mostly slept in the company’s lounge.

Kelly had also become busier at the hospital, sometimes working night shifts, and they might go half a month without seeing each other.

Couples who don’t see each other offen–their feelings slowly fade.

Many of the hospital staff were discussing their relationships with their husbands, saying that being a doctor wasn’t conducive to a harmonious family life. Often, they got so busy that they barely saw each other a few times a month.

“Daddy … ” Jasper missed his father, but it had been a long time since he had seen him.

“Zev drank too much. Can you come pick him up from Nightfall?”
