"What if I told you... that your dad approved of me marrying Kelly?" Shawn's smirk widened as he intentionally provoked Oscar.

Nearby, Kelly and Melody were still talking, and Shawn seized the opportunity to get under Oscar's skin.noveldrama

Oscar slammed his hand onto the table, the chair scraping violently against the floor as he stood. Grabbing Shawn by the collar, he growled, "Consider this a warning: Zev isn't dead-he'll come back. If you keep talking like this, I might kill you."

Oscar had been itching to put Shawn in his place for quite some time.

"Ha... Oscar, you're still the same hypocrite as always," Shawn sneered.

"Hah. That's exactly how you should describe yourself," Oscar shot back, pushing Shawn away, his voice darkening. "Don't even think about getting close to Kelly. If you do, forget about any share of the Wagner Group."

Shawn leaned back on the couch, watching Oscar with a hint of amusement. "So, you want to fight me for it, huh? Even though I'm just a bastard, I've still got inheritance rights."

Shawn's smile twisted, almost mocking.

"Is that so?" Oscar's laugh was cold. "You should know by now-Patrick doesn't own any shares. He only holds them for someone else. Those original 20% shares? My grandfather gave them to me."

Shawn's face turned pale. He sat up straight, trying to catch his breath.

So that's why! No wonder Patrick has been so obsessed with getting Kelly's shares. No wonder he's been so fixated on it.

The pieces were falling into place now.

When Osbert passed, he left the shares directly to Oscar. Since Oscar wasn't involved in managing the company, Patrick only had them in trust.

На...

Now it makes sense. Osbert only left shares to Helena and Gary, but not Patrick. It seems the old man's known something before his death.

Seeing the change in Shawn's expression, Oscar thought he had struck a nerve. "I don't want to make things harder for you, but you'd better not get too greedy."

Oscar didn't care much about the group, but he wouldn't just give out anything that belonged to him.

Not without a fight.

Shawn didn't respond but shot Kelly a pale, troubled glance.

As Kelly and Melody walked over they overheard Oscar's words.

Shawn had succeeded in provoking Oscar, revealing something useful in the process.

Patrick had no shares, and he wasn't favored by Osbert.

Osbert had died shortly after his daughter, Helena's, suicide, though whether that was truly from illness was uncertain...

Kelly took a sharp breath. A man who would betray even his own father-what does that say about Zev, his nephew?

"Stop fighting every time you see each other. Oscar, you've misunderstood Shawn," Kelly said with a strained smile, pretending she hadn't heard the conversation. "He's helped me a lot, and I'm very grateful. If ..."

Her voice faltered for a moment before continuing, "If Zev doesn't come back, I think he'd want me to have someone who truly cares for me by my side."

"Don't let him fool you. Zev's not dead!" Oscar snapped, his anger flaring again. He slammed his hand onto the table before storming out.

"Hey, Oscar, what's gotten into you?" Melody called out angrily. She could only watch as Oscar stormed off.

"Kelly, don't mind him. He's just stubborn," Melody said with a sigh.

Kelly shook her head. "It's fine. Oscar and Zev have always gotten along well. I can understand if he can't accept this right now. I don't accept it either. I don't want anything to happen to Zev..."

Melody gave Kelly a knowing look. She understood Kelly well enough to see that even if something happened to Zev, Kelly would never remarry. She certainly wouldn't talk about it while Zev's fate was still

uncertain.

She could tell Kelly was hiding something.

Though Melody didn't know exactly what, she was determined to support Kelly. "Kelly, you're my best friend. We've been through life and death together. We may not be sisters by blood, but we're as close as sisters can get. Whatever you decide, I'm behind you. But Oscar..."

Melody sighed. "He's just got a stubborn streak. I'll try to talk some sense into him."

Kelly understood that Melody had seen through her intentions. She grasped her friend's hand and nodded.

The meal was tense. Melody left to find Oscar, and Kelly turned to Shawn, silently urging him to eat. "The food here's pretty good. Zev used to bring me here all the time."

Shawn watched Kelly closely, his gaze lingering on her for a long moment before he spoke, "Oscar won't agree to us being together.""

“Then we'll just have to wait. If Oscar doesn't agree, I won't know how to accept you either." Kelly raised an eyebrow.

Shawn didn't respond.

Kelly knew her words were meant for anyone who might be listening, but they were al the truth.

She wouldn't give up on Zev.

"If..." Shawn started to ask something, but then stopped. "I'll find a way to get Oscar to agree to you marrying me."

At least, we have to buy time.

Back home, Kelly went straight to her bedroom and immediately messaged Sidney, asking about the shareholding situation with Patrick.

Sidney replied that only a few people in the business world knew the truth. Patrick had hidden the fact that he only held the shares in trust extremely well.

Finished

It was clear that Patrick cared deeply about his public image-or perhaps he had no choice but to keep it hidden.

"Sidney, thanks for everything lately. I need you and Caden to take care of the kids for a little longer..." Kelly felt a pang of guilt.

"No problem," Sidney replied after a brief pause. Then he added in a quieter tone, "Have you seen the news?"

Kelly froze, her breath quickening. "No... I haven't dared look at the news lately."

Sidney sighed. "Whatever you see, don't jump to conclusions. As long as you haven't seen Zev's body or done a DNA test, don't believe it."

"Okay..." Kelly's voice trembled as she hung up, trying to calm herself. Don't look at it. It's-all fake.

But after her conversation with Shawn, she'd convinced herself that no news was good news until the bad news came later that day.

Despite knowing it was part of Patrick's plan to make her give up on Zev, Kelly couldn't stop herself from trembling. She had to see it.

She opened the news page, and a sharp pain squeezed her chest.

The news reported that the body of an Azerith man had been found in Oasisvale, suspected to be that of the missing CEO of Lockhart Group, Seaville's wealthiest

man....

The body was unrecognizable, the photo blurred, but the clothing and the watch matched what Zev had been wearing when he left.

Kelly refused to let herself believe it. She would never believe Zev was dead.

That night, Kelly couldn't sleep.

She curled up in a corner, unsure who to turn to for news about Zev.

She didn't know how much longer she could hold on.

Patrick was too powerful, and the darkness surrounding him was suffocating.

Without Zev, she couldn't fight back easily. Even with leverage or some evidence against him, making a move too soon would be too dangerous.

She was walking on thin ice.

The next morning, Kelly received a call from Hanson.

The Seaville police had contacted her, asking her to come to Oasisvale to identify

the body.

They needed a family member to provide a DNA sample to confirm the identity of

the deceased. Kelly's breath caught, and she repeated to herself that this was just another trap set by Patrick.

But she couldn't stop trembling.

Patrick must be behind this... This is his way of forcing me to give up on Zev

completely.
