"Zev, if I die, you won''t survive either." rissa pressed herself against the elevator''s cold metal wall, her wide eyes fixed anxiously on Zev.
The tight, enclosed space of the elevator made the air feel stifling, causi rissa to struggle for breath.
Panic gripped her.
Of course, she was terrified. Who wouldn''t be scared of dying?
"You must have forgotten what I do for a living," Zev smirked, his towering frame reaching up as he pushed open the maintenance hatch on the ceiling before pulling himself out.
"Zev!" rissa was already sobbing uncontrobly. "I beg you, don''t abandon me here!"
Tears streamed down her face as she banged on the elevator door, her desperate screams echoing in the empty shaft. But at this hour, the executive office on the 19th floor was deserted. No one would hear her cries.
The elevator was merely stalled. It wasn''t in danger of crashing down or suddenly moving again. As long as the technicians didn''t arrive, rissa would remain trapped inside.
Even though her life wasn''t at risk, the psychological torment was unbearable for her.
Zev knew she wouldn''t dare involve the police. She was determined to get her hands on the Lockhart Group, and offending Wade would ruin everything.
rissa hadmitted countless wicked acts, so for someone like her, being stuck in an elevator was far more terrifying than it would be for an innocent person.
After jumping out of the elevator shaft, Zev found a sign that read "Maintenance. Out of Service" and ced it in front of the elevator. Then, without a care, he strolled back to work.
Since Wade wasn''ting to the office today, his assistant and secretary weren''t around either.
It wasn''t until three hourster that someone finally discovered rissa trapped inside.
Thepany''s maintenance team forcibly pried open the elevator doors, only to find rissa slumped on the ground, looking disheveled and drained. Fear had left her weak, and her throat was raw from screaming.
"Call an ambnce! Hurry!"
Security personnel pulled her out of the elevator, but before she could take another step, she lost
consciousness.
They immediately called for medical assistance and rushed her to the hospital. Meanwhile, at the chairman''s office.
Zev lounged back on the couch, his feet propped up on the coffee table, waiting for Wade to arrive and

"How could you be so reckless? Do you think an elevator is a toy? Are you trying
to bring disaster upon yourself?" Wade shouted furiously.
Zev caught the cane mid-swing, rose to his feet, and spoke with deliberate intensity. “This was only a warning. If she crosses the line again, I will kill her. At worst, one life for another!"
"p!" Wade, seething with rage, pped Zev across the face.
Unfazed, Zev let out a cold chuckle. "I''ll take a paternity test with Jasper but rissa must also bring that so-called Shane for a test as well."
Wade trembled with rage, his hands shaking uncontrobly. "That Kelly has led you astray!"
"Without Kelly, I''d be even crazier. Don''t believe me? Test me." Zev let the cane drop from his grip, letting it tter to the ground.
The fury in Wade''s eyes flickered with exhaustion, and he staggered before sinking onto the couch, gripping its armrest tightly. "Fine, fine! Nn, make the arrangements for the paternity test!"
The assistant, Nn Zipser, swiftly stepped forward and whispered cautiously, "Mr. Zion said that the test can''t be conducted in Seaville. It has to be done in Stoneville. Gary ... has already set everything up."
Wade red at Zev with frustration. "What? Did you find someone to fake the results?"
"I''m worried that if we do it in Seaville, the Lynches might be the ones to trick us," Zev replied firmly.
He added, "The paternity testing center in Stoneville operates withplete transparency, so there''s nothing to worry about. However, I have one condition. If rissa''s child is not biologically rted to me, she must resign from the Lockhart Group, and you cannot interfere with my marriage to Kelly!"
"That depends on whether Kelly''s child is truly of our family''s bloodline!" Wade snapped back.
"Fine." Zev agreed with a nod.
At Seaville Hospital.
rissa jolted awake, gasping for air as she sat up abruptly, her face filled with panic.
"Zev!" she yelled furiously, her fists clenched tightly.
"Ms. rissa, Kelly has consented to a paternity test for her child with Zev. Mr. Wade insists that you and Mr. Zion must also do the paternity test ... "Wade''s assistant stepped into the room, speaking in a low voice.
rissa''s expression darkened. “Hmph, even if Kelly''s child truly belongs to Zev, I can make it so he isn''t."
"But Kelly and Zev have insisted that the paternity test be conducted at the center they specifically chose in Stoneville," the assistant added hesitantly.
rissa''s face grew even more grim. "What did you just say?"
Zev and Kelly were shrewd, already expecting that she might try to manipte the test results.

rissa''s eyes darkened with an unsettling chill, a sense of foreboding creeping into her mind.
Could it be that Zev was aware of a problem with the sperm he had left behind?
"Caleb!"
She urgently called for her assistant, Caleb Conard.
The assistant hurried through the doorway. "Yes, Ms. rissa."

“Obtain a sample of Shane''s hair follicles and discreetly send it for a paternity test using Mr. Wade''s blood sample," she instructed, her anxiety rising.
Since Wade visited the hospital daily for checkups, acquiring his sample was far easier than getting Zev''s.
rissa''s unease deepened.
Zev was far too confident. What if the sperm he had left wasn''t actually his?
If that were true, then everything she had done would be nothing but a cruel joke.
No. That possibility couldn''t exist. It must not.
