Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 Two Equally Dangerous Choices

Quentin was sine that Kelly would eventually be forced to sell the Wagner Group shares she had inherited from ey to the Walmers.

After all, the Wagners were practically family, and Patrick was Zev’s uncle.

They had meticulously planned everything, and their scheme seemed foolproof. The problem? They had seriously underestimated Kelly’s sharp mind.

Even without Wade’s warnings about the Wagners, Kelly had already begun to grow suspicious of them.

Despite the Lockharts‘ extensive resources, Zev’s talents, and Ken’s influence, they hadn’t been able to detect even the slightest hint of danger. That in itself was unsettling.

Moreover, Ken’s sudden defection–leaving Wade’s side to join the Wagner Group–was a glaring red flag.

It was a sign to Kelly that she needed to be wary of Wagner Group’s intentions.

“Kelly, are you really going to sell your Wagner Group shares to them?”

Before she could reply, Kelly received an unexpected call from an unfamiliar number. It was Shawn.

His voice sounded rushed and strained, as if he was being monitored or forced to keep his tone low. Somehow, he had managed to reach her using a different phone line.

Kelly frowned. “Lockhart Group is in a financial bind. I need to save the company.” Her shares were now the only solution left. They had become essential.

“Don’t sell …” Shawn’s voice was tight. “Even if you have to sell, don’t sell them to Wagner Group. Don’t let Patrick get his hands on them…‘

”

“Why?” Kelly hesitated, her mind racing. She was about to ask more questions when Shawn hurried on.

“Kelly, I don’t have much time. I want to buy your shares, but I don’t have enough money. If Wagner Group buys them under the company’s name, Patrick and Gary will take control. Gary doesn’t run the company, but that means Patrick would hold complete power over everything.”

Kelly stood still as she processed his words.

“I’m in a weak position at Wagner Group right now,” Shawn continued, his voice strained. “But the reason I can still influence things is because Patrick doesn’t yet have full control. His shareholding is limited, so despite his title as chairman …

“Protect yourself!” The line crackled, and suddenly, Shawn’s voice was cut off.

Kelly stood there, staring at the phone in her hand. It was clear now.

For years, Patrick hadn’t been the true power at Wagner Group. He was merely a figurehead, practically an employee working for Wagner Group all these years.

The shares had been split between him, Helena, and Gary.

Kelly had once suspected Gary more due to his stronger influence, but now it seemed that Patrick could be just as dangerous–or perhaps both were involved.

Who was truly behind everything, and whether both siblings had hidden motives, would only be uncovered with the truth and evidence.

Her heart was pounding as she stared at her phone.

Is Shawn under Patrick’s thumb now? Has Patrick anticipated this call?

The last words Shawn had spoken–telling her to protect herself–kept echoing in Kelly’s mind.

If she gave up the shares, she would be vulnerable. It was clear now that the only way to stay safe was to hold onto them for the time being.

Selling them wasn’t an option–not yet.

But if she didn’t sell, how could she resolve the financial crisis threatening Lockhart Group?

“Kelly, the Wagner Group representatives are here. Mr. Hardison and Mr. Brooks are with them.” Hanson entered the room, interrupting her thoughts.

Kelly paused, taking a deep breath. “Let Mr. Hardison and Mr. Brooks in,” she said, her voice steady.

She needed to talk to Sidney and Vincent.

Both Sidney and Vincent had risked buying shares in Wagner Group, but they knew what was at stake. Wagner Group’s 10% share wouldn’t have much impact on them personally, as it was a family–run business.

Sidney and Vincent were helping Kelly out of goodwill, not for any significant financial gain.

Kelly bit her lip, trying to steady her thoughts.

I have to stay calm until Zev comes back.

“Kelly, what’s going on?” Sidney asked as he walked in, noticing her pale face. Vincent looked equally concerned.

“Shawn told me not to sell the shares. He said they’re my lifeline,” Kelly explained, turning to face both men.

They exchanged thoughtful looks. “He’s right,” Sidney said after a pause. “Once you hand over the shares, you become a target. If something happens to you, your children will inherit everything, and whoever is behind this can easily control Lockhart Group once they possess those shares.”

Tyb ”

If they get rid of Zev and me, our children will become their puppets.

Kelly’s mind was racing. It seemed that when Sylvester and Helena passed away, they had the same thought.

They attempted to turn Zev into a puppet, but they hadn’t counted on Wade’s strength or Zev’s decision to attend military school.

And when Zev returned, he wasn’t as easy to manipulate as they had hoped.

It wasn’t until Quentin arrived at Lockhart Group that the plans to remove Zev really started to pick up

steam.

Zev trusted Quentin, so he revealed his true abilities to him. But Quentin saw Zev as a potential threat and moved quickly to neutralize him before he became too powerful.
