Chapter 267 rissa''s True Colors Revealed


    On the way to the hospital Kelly watched rissa, who didn''t seem nervous. "Wade was kind to you. You


    don''t look sad at all."


    "Does sadness have to be obvious?" rissa scoffed.


    "Zev''s in trouble, and no one knows where he is. Wade and Ken are both out of the picture... The Lockharts'' world is falling apart," Kelly said, looking at rissa. "But let me make one thing clear. I''m Zev''s legal wife and the only legal heir of the Lockharts. If you want to fight me for it, I suggest you give up now."


    rissa chuckled: "Kelly, you sure talk big."


    Kelly snorted but didn''t say anything else.


    rissa was in a great mood and didn''t bother to argue with Kelly.


    Right now, she didn''t see Kelly as a threat at all.


    Maybe


    ... one day, if she was in a bad mood, she might kill Kelly too.


    At the hospital, in the underground parking lot.


    By the time Kelly and rissa''s car reached the lower level, the police had already sealed off the area.


    "There''s been an incident downstairs. No entry. Park upstairs."


    Kelly and rissa got out of the car and looked at the entrance to the


    underground parking lot.


    rissa deliberately asked, "Hey, what happened down there?"


    "There was an explosion. Someone''s dead. You two shouldn''t go down there," the


    officer waved his hand, signaling Kelly and rissa to leave quickly.


    rissa smirked and turned to head toward the hospital ward.


    Kelly walked behind her, her voice low. "Ken was perfectly fine, How did he end up killed in an explosion?"


    rissa didn''t respond to Kelly.


    Kelly didn''t say anything more.


    Once they reached the upper floors, Kelly fell into silence for the rest of the way.


    "Ms. rissa! You''re finally here!" The secretary rushed over, tears streaming down her face, her eyes red, "What are we going to do? We don''t know what to do. Mr. Morris is dead. Wade''s gone too. What should we do?"


    rissa quickly reassured her. "Don''t worry, I''ll take care of it. Where''s Grandpa?" The secretary, crying, pointed toward the hospital room. "He''s still in there. The doctor said... The family needs to sign the papers and then take him to the morgue."


    CUIOTS Revealed


    Other staff members began to sob as well.


    rissa pretended to wipe away tears as she walked toward the room.


    Kelly tried to follow, but rissa coldly stopped her. "Wade doesn''t want to see you. Stop her."


    At rissa''smand, the secretary and staff quickly stepped in to block Kelly.


    rissa shot Kelly a provocative nce.

    She had already started to see herself as the CEO of the Lockhart Group.


    She was certain that sess was within her grasp.

    In the hospital room.


    rissa stood beside the bed, sobbing. Wadey on the bed, his face pale and lifeless, his stillness making him look particrly haunting.


    The room was empty, and suddenly rissaughed as she pulled the white she avoiding looking at his face.


    ver Wade, obviously


    "Grandpa, you can''t me me. If there''s anyone to me, it''s you," rissa chuckled, sitting down beside him. "If you hadn''t insisted on having Zev bring Kelly and that little bastard back, I wouldn''t have been in such a rush to see you go... You''ve already been so sick. I just wanted you to live out your days in peace."


    Such a shame, but everything was forced by the circumstances.


    "When you get there, you can me your grandson Zion. If he hadn''t been such a jerk and left someone else''s sperm, would I have gone to such lengths for nothing? I went through ten months of pregnancy to have Shane, thinking I''d get the Lockharts'' shares, only to find out the kid isn''t even a Lockhart! Someone like you, who cares so much about bloodlines-if you were still alive, wouldn''t all my work be pointless!" rissa''s voice wasced with anger and resentment. "It''s all Zion''s fault. He''s the one who deserves to die. Kelly, too! Who does she think she is? A woman who''s been married twice, spent all those years in Solmaris, and still somehow manages to marry Zion and enter a wealthy family!


    "Does she deserve it?" rissa lowered her voice as she questioned Wade.


    She definitely believed Kelly didn''t deserve it.


    She believed she was the one deserving of the Lockharts, the elite family


    "Don''t worry. Under my leadership, the Lockharts will only grow stronger. I''m doing this for you, saving the Lockharts... Didn''t you say yourself that Zion isn''t it to run thepany? You saw my potential, which is why you wanted Zion to marry me, to create a strong alliance and make up for his weaknesses... I''ll make sure to sake good care of thepany for your legacy."


    rissa chuckled.


    That fool Zion, abandoning a trillion-dor family fortune to struggle on his own.


    rissa wiped her eves, pretending to sob, but the smile at the corner of her lips was impossible to hide.

    "And then there''s Ken. Didn''t you always say that after you were gone, he''d have shares in the Lockhart Group too? At first, I was worried he might try to take them from me, but who would''ve thought that he, being so close to you, coudn''t wait to join you?


    "Please don''t hate me." rissa stood up, nning to find the doctor to sign the papers.


    "Bastard!" Wade''s voice, muffled under the white sheet, was thick with anger.


    "Cough, cough, cough... "The sound of coughing followed, triggered by his anger.


    rissa almost stumbled, her eyes wide with panic as she looked at Wade, struggling to breathe beneath the sheet.
