Chapter 352 Your Son Is My Son
Wagner Group.
Standing by the window, Shawn ended the call, his expression grim.
“Find out who made a move on Zev at a time like this!” he shouted angrily, slamming a cup onto the table.
Idiot. Which idiot did this?
Zev was at the club, meeting wealthy heirs from the business world. Anyone who dared to target him now would make it look like Shawn was behind it.
“Dammit …” Shawn rubbed his temples, frustrated. He hadn’t expected Zev, of all people, to benefit from sheer dumb luck–recklessly rushing into the fire and somehow winning everyone’s favor.
Now, the Sommers from Horizon Bank saw Zev as their savior. Their whole family even went to the hospital to visit him!
Meanwhile, Shawn had been in Seaville for so long, trying to set up a meeting with the head of the Sommers family. After three attempts, he had finally secured one–only for this mess to happen.
Heh…
Shawn narrowed his eyes, letting out a laugh–more out of frustration than amusement.
But, I enjoy a good challenge.
If Zev were that easy to take down, it wouldn’t be fun.
With a smirk, he looked at his visibly shaking assistant. “Call Clarissa over.”
When Clarissa arrived, her expression was just/as grim–she had obviously seen the news.
Zev’s reckless decision to charge into the fire and rescue people completely changed how the Sommers and several other influential families in the business world viewed him. The Sommers even praised him publicly in front of reporters. Now, Lockhart Group’s stock, which she had nearly driven to collapse, was skyrocketing. Worse, the companies that had agreed to cut ties with Lockhart Group in favor of partnering with Wagner Group were now reconsidering.
It could be said that after being crushed and suppressed by Shawn, Zev had finally turned the tables.
And he did it beautifully.
“The fire–who was behind it?” Shawn asked in a low voice as soon as Clarissa walked in.
“It wasn’t me.” Clarissa looked tense. “I’m not that stupid. If it were me, I would’ve only targeted Zev. But that night, there were so many people …”
So many wealthy heirs–she wasn’t foolish enough to take that kind of risk.
Shawn snorted, knowing Clarissa wasn’t that stupid, but Beau was another story. “Go ask your dad and tell him to keep his hands clean! This time, he practically handed Zev a victory–what an idiot

Clarissa was shocked but didn’t argue. It sounded like something Beau would do.
Finished
“You know exactly how much trouble and mess this has caused for me and Wagner Group,” Shawn said, his expression dark. “If it happens again….
”
He would make sure both Clarissa and Beau disappeared from Seaville.
Clarissa’s heart sank, and she quickly said, “Got it… I’ll go home right now.”
Beau really messed up this time.
Zev and the Sommers would definitely hold Shawn responsible for everything that happened.
You…”
“Shawn,” Clarissa said, her concern for him showing. “I’m sorry … You …
Shawn leaned back in his chair, unfazed and in good spirits. “It doesn’t matter. Let him have his moment. As long as you idiots don’t keep dragging me down.”
Clarissa clenched her fists. “I understand.”
Seaville Hospital.
Zev was lying in bed, wrapped up like a mummy.
Kelly almost laughed but managed to hold it in.
For such a minor burn, Zev was making it look worse than the time he almost died.
“Zion, take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll handle it for you!” Kasper’s dad said, in his usual easygoing manner. He patted Zev on the back.
Kasper was the only son of the Monroes. This time, Zev had saved Kasper’s life–but he had also saved the Monroes‘ legacy.
Kasper sighed helplessly. “Kelly, Zion, don’t mind my dad. He’s just like that…
A few of the rich heirs were now treating Zev affectionately, like their best buddy.
Kelly held back a laugh, pretending to look concerned. “Don’t worry too much, Mr. Monroe. The burn area isn’t that large. He’ll be fine after about ten days or so.”
“Just a little more, and his face would’ve been ruined! The doctor said, if it had hit any higher, he wouldn’t have made it,” Caden chimed in from the side, playing along with Kelly. “Aren’t you Zev’s wife? You don’t even feel sorry for him.”
