Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 404

Chapter 404 Zev Is in Trouble

“I’ve been at Lockharts for over 30 years, ever since I was a child. Mr. Wade raised me, and I can never forget his kindness. Throughout my time with Lockhart Group, I’ve given my all, with no regrets. He paused, his gaze hardening. “But now that Mr. Wade is gone, Zev has pushed me out of the company. He was the one who got rid of me first, and I have to secure my own future.”

Ken’s meaning was clear; it was Zev who had forced him to leave.

“I’ve done everything I could, but Zev just doesn’t have what it takes to lead Lockhart Group. He’s dismantling the legacy built by his ancestors. I’m leaving with my team because I owe it to them. They deserve a better future, one I can help provide.”

Ken publicly criticized Zev’s incompetence.

“Enough of this,” Patrick snapped, his frustration mounting. “Zev went into the army right after graduation. He hasn’t had the proper experience. He needs time to learn.”

“Time?” An employee standing behind Ken shot back in anger. “We’ve been giving him time, but who’s giving us time? Zev’s young, but we’re not. We’ve dedicated years to this company, and all we want is a stable future. But ever since he took charge, things have been falling apart. He’s not even from this field–why couldn’t he just stay home and enjoy his wealth? Why did he have to take over the company?”

“Mr. Morris has dedicated so many years to Lockhart Group, putting in tremendous effort and making countless contributions. With Mr. Wade’s health declining in recent years, he hasn’t been involved in the company’s decisions for a long time. Isn’t it Mr. Morris who has been holding the fort for Lockhart Group? Yet, when Zev took over, he immediately went after the elderly, making us feel cold to the core!”

The veteran engineers and key employees who had followed Ken at Lockhart Group were shouting in anger, feeling that Zev lacked the skills and competence to lead.

“As the saying goes, ‘It’s not the second generation wasting money that’s the problem, it’s when they try to run a business.‘ Zev didn’t create something of his own, but instead, he brought chaos upon us. Lockhart Group is no longer just the property of the Lockharts–it belongs to all of us now.”

As the crowd grew more agitated, everyone began to point their fingers at Zev. This was likely the outcome that the person pulling the strings had been hoping for.

This was likely the outcome the person pulling the strings had anticipated.

Kelly remained still, carefully observing Gary and Patrick, yet neither of them revealed any signs of guilt.

However, deep down, Kelly knew that one of these men had the intention of completely bringing Zev down.

It was clear that Zev’s return to Lockhart Group and his early display of potential had already made some people uneasy.

“Kelly, I don’t have the authority to make a decision about this. This group …” Patrick said with a heavy sigh.

Gary remained quiet, his gaze lingering on Ken for a long moment before he spoke. “It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. You should discuss this with Zev.”

“There’s nothing left to discuss. He believes I’m responsible for his father’s death,” Ken said, not meeting Gary’s gaze. His voice was steady and resolute, as though he had already made up his mind and nothing could change it.

Chapter 404 Zev is in Trouble.

“Everyone’s choosing to side with Mr. Wagner because of his youth and potential. We re all willing rising star. Who would choose a second–generation heir who’s lazy and only knows how to throw badnins Shawn gave Kelly an apologetic look. “I’m sorry, Kelly. This isn’t something I can control. They chor me

Kelly glanced at Shawn and, at that moment, felt a wave of pity for everyone involved. Family, friendship, love–none of it seemed real.

Everyone was just a pawn in

one else’s game.

“Now that everyone has made their choice, on behalf of Lockhart Group and Zev, I respect your decision, Kelly replied, her tone composed and graceful.

“I won’t take up any more of your time,” Kelly said, casting a pointed glance at Clarissa before turning to leave.

“See her out,” Patrick instructed, nodding toward Shawn.

Shawn followed, stepping forward to press the elevator button for Kelly,

“There’s no need to see me off. Mr. Wagner is young and promising. It’s a shame to see him working so hard every minute to earn money alongside the employees. It seems a bit of a waste to send me off, Kelly said casually, her tone light.

Shawn stood quietly beside Kelly in the elevator, his silence speaking volumes.

“Is Mr. Wagner planning to completely sever ties with Lockhart Group from now on?” Kelly asked, her voice breaking the quiet.

The elevator’s surveillance cameras meant every word and movement was under observation.

Shawn had been thrust into the spotlight, becoming Zev’s main ‘antagonist.’ It was clear that the person pulling the strings wanted to see Zev and Kelly treat Shawn as their foe.

“Kelly … Zev simply isn’t made for leading a company. A corporation as large as this will inevitably collapse in his hands,” Shawn said, his tone grave. “You have to understand that managing a business requires perfection in every detail. One mistake and the whole system falls apart like a chain reaction…” He paused, glancing at Kelly before continuing, “You still have a chance to walk away. If you stay, I’m afraid he’ll drag Lockhart Group down. His current assets won’t be enough to fill the gaps. You should cut your losses while you still can.”

Shawn was clearly suggesting that Kelly should leave Zev–take the divorce as an opportunity to walk away with a fortune.

It was a way to safeguard her assets.

Though his words were blunt, they carried an underlying message.

They wouldn’t hold back in their pursuit of Zev.

With Wade gone, Zev was now completely exposed–an orphan with no one to shield him.
