Ken stood outside the door for a long time, momentarily lost in thought before smiling. Whether it was true or not, he never would have imagined Wade including him in the inheritance. Just then, Zev opened the door and immediately spotted Ken. His eyes shed with hatred. "Heh... Ken instinctively grabbed Zev''s wrist. "Zion... don''t worry, I don''t want anything from the Lockharts." "Don''t touch me! Disgusting." Zev jerked his hand away and walked off without looking back.
Ken remained still, his fingers slightly tense.
He lowered his head, smiling bitterly before stepping into the room.
"Mr. Wade... the project team just called ..."
Wade steadied himself against the couch and waved a hand. "Forget about the project for now. I need you to handle something in secret. No one can know."
"What is it?" Ken asked in a low voice.
"Get a strand of Shane''s hair and have it tested. Make sure no one finds
Ken took a deep breath.
This time, Wade took Zev''s words to heart.
out."
"Come with me to check on the child." Deep down, Wade still didn''t want to believe Zev.
He genuinely liked Shane.
rissa said the child was sick, and he wanted to see for himself whether it was true.
In rissa''s room.
Shane curled up in the corner, clutching his toy tightly too afraid to meet rissa''s eyes.
rissa paced back and forth, her expression tense as she anxiously thought over something.
A thought suddenly struck rissa, and her gaze turned cold and ruthless as she looked at Shane.
Without hesitation, she grabbed him and dragged him into the bathroom, pouring cold water over his head.
She needed Shane to get sick.
Anything to buy herself more time while Wade still trusted her.
Shane was terrified. He didn''t even dare to cry, only trembling uncontrobly, his small body shaking
nonstop.

Someone as small as hint probably couldn''t understand that a mother could refuse to love her own child.
To her, he was just a pawn
But even at his age, he understood envy.
He envied how Jasper had a mother and father to hold him ...
While he had no one.
"Mommy..." he choked out between sobs, desperately trying to awaken some trace of motherly love in
rissa.
But this woman had none to give.
To rissa, Shane was just a pawn. Now that he was no longer "pure", she
wanted to get rid of this burden -there was no room for motherly love.
Shane cried until his voice was hoarse. After being drenched in cold water, his body started burning with fever.
"Mommy..."
rissa dragged him out of the bathroom, his wet hair dripping onto the floor. She pushed him onto the balcony. "Stay here. Don''te inside."
Shivering uncontrobly, Shane curled up in the corner, waiting for his mother to let him back in.
rissa sat on the couch, impatiently scrolling through her phone, waiting for news from Assad''s people.
She needed to get rid of Zev as quickly as possible-he was a threat. Only then could she take her time dealing with Kelly.
Without Zev to rely on, she wanted to see what Kelly could do.
Knock, knock, knock. A voice came from outside.
"rissa, it''s me," Wade hade to see Shane.
rissa sprang to her feet, hurried to the balcony, and pulled Shane back inside. She quickly dried his hair- with a towel before leaning down to warn him, her voice low. "No matter who asks you anything, don''t say
a word."
Shane, terrified, nodded before she tucked him under the nket.
Taking a deep breath, rissa steadied herself and went to open the door. "Grandpa."
Her performance was wless-her eyes turned red. "Shane is running a fever."
Wade stepped inside, worried as he looked at the trembling child in bed. "Shane? I''m here."
Seeing Shane''s damp hair and flushed, feverish cheeks, it was obvious-he was truly sick.
Thinking back to Zev''s words, Wade hesitated.
Zev''s words, Wade he

At least, the child was truly sick.
"Why is his hair wet?" Wace asked quietly.
Without missing a beat, rissa replied, "He was sweating. It hasn''t dried yet."

Ken went over to the bed and, right in front of rissa, touched the kid''s hair, plucking a few strands in the process.
Too caught up in her own guilt, rissa didn''t notice-for now.
"This fever isn''t normal. You need to take the child to the hospital right away. I''ll have Zion go with you," Wade insisted. The family doctor had limitations-he couldn''t run blood tests.
rissa hesitated for a moment before realizing this was the perfect opportunity. "Grandpa, will Zion agree to go?
"The child is innocent. He has to go, no matter what!" Wade didn''t hesitate and immediately called Zev. "How about I go instead?" Ken offered, hoping to take Zev''s ce.
"You''re so busy, and thepany still needs you. It''s better for Zion to go with me. Besides, Grandpa needs someone by his side too." rissa quickly declined.
Ken frowned. It was obvious-rissa was determined to have Zev go with her. But... something felt off. The child''s fever was strange. His hair was wet, but so were his clothes. And the nket was cold and dry.
That meant Shane had only just gotten under it before they walked in.
This woman... she won''t even spare her own child. What is she up to?
