    Kelly had an odd feeling today after Jasper tumbled off the slide.


    At times, you just have to rely on your gut feelings.

    "Let''s head home first." Zev shot a quick look at Kelly in the rearview mirror, hinting for her to hold onto the child securely.


    Kelly scooped up Jasper, who was tugging at his father''s hair and burst intoughter. "Why did they have to mess with your son? He takes after you, always remembering a grudge and getting even."


    Zevughed. "That''s just his sharp mind, just like mine


    Kelly scoffed but didn''t argue further.


    Stoneville.


    Wade agreed to let Zev and rissa''s child take a paternity test. So, under the guise of a project coboration in Stoneville, the entire family made their way there.


    ?


    "Hmph." Wade couldn''t tolerate watching Zev dote on Kelly like an obedient pup, so he let out a cold huff But Zev seemed to enjoy getting under his skin. He wiped Kelly''s lips after meals, made sure her coffee wasn''t too hot, stayed close to her all the time, and even sneaked in little kisses now and then.


    Kelly could only sigh. They weren''t usually like this.


    "What an embarrassment," Wade muttered under his breath.


    Zev, however, remained unfazed.


    Meanwhile, rissa looked displeased the entire time.


    "Wade, Shane became unwell as soon as he got to Stoneville. The change in environment caused a fever, so he won''t be able to attend the paternity test. However, I''ve already collected some of his hair follicles, so the test can proceed as nned." rissa had anticipated this and handed a small stic bag to Wade''s assistant, Nn.


    Wade didn''t dwell on it and simply nodded. "Make sure to take good care of him." rissa acknowledged his words with a nod.


    Zev exchanged a knowing nce with Kelly. They had already figured out what was happening.


    They were well aware that she had taken their son''s hair in advance to pull off a trick.


    "Grandpa, since Shane is sick, we should wait for another day. The sample is likely contaminated, and if that''s the case, the results won''t be valid. If the test falsely states that Shane isn''t my child, it would be a huge problem." Zev stepped forward confidently, swiftly snatching the stic bag from Nn''s hands.


    With a so-called “idental" tear, the bag ripped open, and the hairs fell out, carried away by the breeze.

    "Zion!" rissa''s body stiffened in fury, her voice shaking with anger.


    She shot Zev a murderous re, looking as though she wanted to strangle him.

    Zev smirked, raising an eyebrow. "Oh dear, my mistake. No worries, there''s no need to rush. Let Shane recover properly, and once he''s better, we can try again.


    Turning his attention to Jasper, Zev grinned. "Good news, Jasper. No needles today! Come on, I''m taking you to Stoneville''s amusement park. It''s huge."


    As Zev walked away with Jasper and Kelly, Wade was shaking with rage. "Zion! Don''t think you can change anything by intentionally stalling for time!"


    Zev curled his lips into a mocking grin. "I''m not the one stalling on purpose." His gaze shifted toward rissa.


    rissa clenched her fists tightly, biting down on her lip. Without a DNA sample for the test, she had no choice but to endure it. "Wade, Zion is right. Shane isn''t feeling well. Let him rest and lower his fever first. There''s still time to checkter."


    Right now, it was rissa who needed to stall for time.


    Wade gave a slight nod in response to her words.


    "Kelly, if this child doesn''t belong to the Lockharts, your arrogance won''tst much longer," Wade scoffed, signaling for Nn to wheel him away.


    rissa shot Kelly and Zev a resentful re.


    She had no one to me but herself.


    Now that the paternity test had been exposed, she had no choice but to move to her backup n, targeting Zev directly.


    Watching rissa leave, Kelly''s eyelid twitched. She murmured under her breath, "She''s getting desperate ..."


    "When fate seeks to ruin someone, it first drives them to madness," Zev said while lifting the child into the car. "I''ve already told Caden to hire some bodyguards. From now on, you and Jasper must always have protection nearby."


    Kelly nodded, assuming just one or two bodyguards would be enough.


    But when they arrived, she was startled to find six or seven towering men dressed


    in ck surrounding them.


    "Isn''t this a bit excessive?" she whispered.


    "Better safe than sorry," Zev replied with a smirk.


    Kelly hesitated before sighing. "Alright, if you say so."


    Though, she had to admit that it was a bit too shy.

    At a hotel in Stoneville.


    rissa stepped into the room, her gazending on Shane ying on the carpet.


    A surge of anger overtook her, and she swept the ornaments off the table in a fit of rage.


    Damn, Zev!


    "Move fast! Have Assad''s men take Zev away!" shemanded. She refused to believe he was truly unshakable.


    Even a normal person wouldn''t escape her methods. She had ways to drive them


    to madness. And Zev? With his severe psychological trauma, he was an even easier target,


    If he fell into her grasp, she wouldn''t show a shred of mercy.
