    It took him a long time to process the fact that Zev was the heir to the prestigious


    Lockhart family.


    His expression darkened, and his voice dropped, "Zev... is the heir of the Lockhart family. Why didn''t rissa say anything carlier?"


    "Ms. rissa just found out herself." Andrew chuckled.


    Eric spun around, seething, ready to confront rissa.


    But after a few steps, he paused, something crossing his mind. Pulling out his phone, he sent a message to Kelly, "Kelly, thank you for helping me take care of Faye. I''ve been so busytely that I couldn''t manage. I really appreciate your understanding."


    He immediately transferred 20,000 dors to her. "Buy something nice for you and Faye."


    Inside the car, Kelly''s phone buzzed with Eric''s message.


    Since Zev wasn''t in any condition to drive, Caden had taken the wheel.


    Only now did Kelly understand why Caden, the youngest son of the Hardisons,


    was so willing to y sidekick for Zev-because Zev was the heir to the Lockhart Group.


    "Who''s texting you?" Zev''s voice carried a hint of jealousy.


    "Eric," Kelly answered inly.


    Zev''s face darkened, and he looked away, sulking.


    Amused, Kelly handed him the phone.


    Feigning indifference, Zev huffed, but his hands told another story. He immediately grabbed the phone, refunded Eric''s transfer, and sent him a WhatsApp contact along with a message, "Send the money to my husband instead. In our family, he handles the external affairs, and I handle the internal affairs."


    Kelly rested her head against his shoulder, a small, resigned smile tugging on her lips.


    But her heart was still unsettled from everything that had happened.


    "Bad guy," Faye piped up, tilting her head, "can I sleep with Kelly tonight?"


    "Dream on." Zev shot her a wary re.


    Kelly frowned, her tone serious as she looked at Faye, "I''m willing to let you stay with us, but he is my husband. When you''re a guest in someone''s home, you must respect the host. Besides, we are your elders."


    Faye lowered her gaze, her voice soft and hesitant, "I understand..."

    Zev''s eyes gleamed with triumph, and he felt his aches fade away. Wrapping his arm around Kelly, he shot Faye a triumphant look. "See? I''ve got my wife backing


    me."


    From the driver''s seat, Caden sighed, his expression helpless. "Could you not rub


    it in? There''s a single guy suffering over here."


    Zev, sharp-tongued as ever, shot back, "You''re single because you''re useless. Not my problem. I''ve got someone who wants me."


    Caden ground his teeth in annoyance and mmed the brakes in front of a building. "Get out. All of you."


    Kelly chuckled softly, taking Faye''s hand as she and Zev stepped out of the car together.


    Caden also got out of the car and looked at Zey. "Uh... I..."


    Seeing that Caden had something to say to Zev, Kelly took the initiative to speak up, "You two talk. I''ll take Faye upstairs first."


    Caden hesitated, looking at Kelly until she was out of earshot before finally speaking, "Your grandfather... has he talked to you? Does Kelly know about your identity now?"


    "Not just Kelly-everyone knows now." Zev''s expression darkened.


    As expected, once Ken knew, everyone else would find out, too.


    Caden sighed. "Zev, revealing your identity right now isn''t good, is it? Sidney told me to pass on a message- you''re in deep trouble. He saw the ident footage. It''s clear they want you dead."


    Zev frowned, covering Caden''s mouth, and nced in the direction where Kelly had left. "Keep your voice down."


    Once Kelly was far enough away, Zev sighed in relief. "I know. As soon as I leave the country, Lucas'' people will definitelye after me."


    "With your current condition ... " Caden lowered his voice. "Look at you. You can''t even hold a gun. Never mind a gun, can you even hold a knife? You''re asking for death! Your rehab doctor said it''s going to take at least six months for you to live normally, let alone go on a mission!"


    Zev''s face hardened, his brow furrowing as he thought it over. After a long silence, he spoke, "Don''t worry about it... If they won''t let me go, I''ll go on my own."


    Caden stared at him in disbelief. "Go out there and get yourself killed? You''re really going to risk your life like this?""


    "Help me with something..." Zev wanted Caden to help him leave the country.


    "Not happening!" Caden snapped. "Zev, are you crazy? Are you really going to risk your life for Kelly? You''re scared they''ll go after her if you dy too long, huh?"


    Caden knew Zev wasn''t just doing this for the mission. Military obedience was instinctive, but if it weren''t for Kelly ...


    "What the hell are you yelling about?" Zev rubbed his temples. "I just want to finish this mission quickly and get rid of Lucas. The situation in Oasisvale is changing fast. If Lucas gains power again, it''s not just me and

    Caden leaned against the car door, silent for a long time. "I can''t help you with this... I''m sorry. Gary predicted you''d act on your own. He had already warned Sidney. You know Sidney only listens to Gary....


    Behind the neighborhood''s wall, Kelly kept Faye''s mouth covered. Hidden in the shadows, her eyes cast downward.
