Chapter 85 Zev Cheered Himself Up
+50%
Finished
Eric stood frozen, unable toprehend that Kelly wouldment he was nowhere near as good as Zev, someone from the lower rungs of society.
He was a man with a strong sense of pride. Eric''s family background wasn''t privileged, and when he first came to Seaville to study, he felt inferior about his humble origins. But he had confidence in his own abilities and achievements. As long as it wasn''t about his family''s background, he was always self-assured and bright.
Eric believed that he had worked hard to escape his small-town life. He was his parents'' pride, with grades that stood far above the rest; he was the local genius who had made it out.
He was the teacher''s favorite, the model student, a recipient of schrships andpetition prizes.
Eric stood high above, looking down at everyone below him.
He considered himself superior to people like Zev, who was an orphan,cked education, and had a respectable background. In terms of knowledge, Zev was a brute who only knew how to fight. As for wealth, Eric was now a part of the elite ss in Seaville, with a watch worth millions, while Zev was a nobody who could only rent a house.
A thug who hade back from a war-torn country was nothing more than a good-for-nothing loser in
his eyes.
And yet, Kelly had the audacity to insult him by saying that he was worse than Zev
Kelly''s breath was a little uneven as she stood in front of Zev.
She truly believed that she was speaking the truth.
Eric was nothingpared to Zev. He was an undercover who had endured pressures no one could understand during his five years in Solmaris.
Zev''s faith was unwavering. His mind was only focused on his country, his organization, and discipline.
He had a single goal; even if he died in a war-torn ce even if no one remembered his name, even if he turned to dust, he would stillplete his mission and dismantle the terrorist cells led by Lucas.
For five years, Zev had been a prominent figure next to Lucas. Women were brought to his bed daily, yet he never touched any of them, using Kelly as a shield.
He adhered to his instincts, kept his desires in check, and never used his position for personal gain. His mission was clear; destroy the terrorist organization. Not once had he betrayed that goal.
Even when Lucas''s men deliberately made him drink an aphrodisiac, making his whole body burn with need, Zev merely soaked in a cold tub, enduring without touching Kelly.
And what about Eric? The opulent life of the city, the allure of the nightlife, even before Kelly had left Seaville, he had already slept with Regina.
Haha!
She had been missing for only three years, and Eric had already applied for her death certificate.

Chapter 85 Zey Cheered Himself Up
She had been gone for five years, and he already had a wife, kids, and a warm home.
"You think I''m worse than him? You''re insulting me." Eric truly felt humiliated by Kelly''s words.
What was Zev, a lowlife from the bottom of society?

"Comparing you to him is an insult to him." Kelly, now celing the effects of the alcohol, pulled out her phone and yed a recording.
She couldn''t be bothered to speak to Eric anymore.
"How could you say I''m worse than him? He has no family, no education, no ability, and no savings!" Ericughed. "Kelly, it''s been five years, and you''re still living in some fantasy. This is the real world."
Eric was no longer the person he once was.
He was now the youngest chief surgeon at Seaville Hospital; his abilities and aplishments were well known to everyone.
Eric was the head of the neurosurgery department, a person everyone admired and tried to please. Pharmaceutical reps and hospital doctors alike all fawned over him. He was the prime candidate to be the next hospital director, someone carefully groomed by Beau for the position.
And soon, he will be the youngest hospital director of Seaville Hospital.
Eric was on top now, step by step moving upward. He believed he was someone everyone wanted to be associated with.
As for Kelly, her five years in Solmaris had blinded her to the realities of life.
"Kelly, I''m not ming you. Take your time with the divorce. City Hall gave us a month of cooling-off time. No rush to file the papers," Eric said gently. He knew that as long as he didn''t agree to the divorce, even if Kelly tried to file, there would be a cooling-off period of six months to a year.
"You''ve been out of touch with society for too long. You can''t see the truth anymore. Even though Melody and Oscar have been helping you since you came back, friends can''t support you forever. The money you make at the pharmacy is barely enough to cover your own living expenses," Eric said quietly, trying to reach for Kelly''s hand.
He thought Kelly hadn''t experienced enough of life''s hardships yet.
What could someone like Zev do after returning from Solmaris? No education, no skills, and what was his muscr build worth? Was he supposed to go work on a construction site?
"Divorce!" Kelly gritted her teeth, forcing the words out
She wanted the divorce.
Eric had promised her that he would grant it.
"Kelly" Eric sighed, thinking that she would regret this decisionter.
If you''re a man, just be straightforward. You had remarried; what''s the point of
clinging to her?" Zev spoke up, his voice low.

Chapter 65 Zev Cheered Himself Up
When Kelly said Eric was worse than Zev, his heart race.
He knew Kelly was probably just trying to provoke Eric
But Zev felt that he still had some value to Kelly, which wasn''t necessarily a bad
thing.
"Rest well," Eric said, avoiding her gaze, wanting her to rest properly.

"You refuse to divorce because you''re afraid I''ll ask for the house and demolitionpensation, right?" Kelly asked him.
If she said now that she didn''t want any of that, Eric would probably divorce her immediately, scared that she might change her mindter.
Eric frowned, looking at Kelly. "Do you really have to twist everything I say? After
all these years together, do you really think I don''t care about you? When it came
down to it, I chose you without hesitation over Regina."
