Chapter 377 Clarissa Wants Caden to Marry Her

Kelly stared at Eric, finding him almost laughable.

He claimed he’d never let anyone who hurt her go unpunished. Please.

“Kelly, listen to me. We need to be patient now,” Eric whispered, lowering his voice as he tried to sound strategic. “The sharpest mind in the Lynches is Clarissa. Take her out of the picture, and the rest crumbles easily.” He leaned in, continuing his scheming. “I’m slowly gaining the trust of the person behind Beau. Once I’ve earned it completely, I can replace Beau altogether. Then

“Stay away from my wife.” Zev’s voice cut through the hallway as the elevator doors slid open, and he saw Eric pester his wife.

Eric drew his brows together and glared at Zev in irritation.

He’d always carried a quiet arrogance–believing he was better than Zev in every way.

He thought Zev lacked class, lacked skills, and had nothing going for him except his family name.

Eric had always assumed that if he put in even a little effort, Kelly would come back to him.

He was even under the delusion that what they’d shared was irreplaceable.

“You don’t speak English or something?” Zev stepped up, wrapping an arm protectively around Kelly. “If words don’t work, I’m happy to settle this the old–fashioned way–with fists.”

Eric scowled at Zev’s cocky, streetwise attitude. He couldn’t understand how Kelly could tolerate someone like him.

Zev reminded him of some lowlife hanging out at the street–arrogant, brash, and without Nothing about him was deemed normal.

And of course, elite and cultured men like Eric hated the type of men like Zev the most.

Kelly knew Eric couldn’t stand Zev.

class.

But that was precisely what Zev enjoyed–watching Eric hate him and yet be unable to do a thing about it.

“What do you have besides fists and impulsiveness?” Eric snapped.

Zev smirked smugly, driving him mad. “I’ve got more money than you.”

“You-” Eric was seething. And it was true–he couldn’t compete with the Lockhart fortune. “That Lockhart empire of yours? You’ll run it into the ground eventually.”

Zev just pointed at Kelly. “I have a wife.”

That did it. Eric’s face turned red with fury, and he stormed off, too angry to speak.

Clearly, Zev’s shamelessness was the only way to deal with someone like Eric.

“Was he bothering you again? Zev asked, still fuming. “Want me to punch him?”

Kelly sighed and pulled him into the elevator, closing the door behind them. “Eric’s working his way into

the good graces of the guy behind Beau. Don’t stir the pot just yet–he might still be useful.

Zev huffed jealously. “Shawn’s useful. Eric’s useful. Vincent’s useful. But me? I’m useless, huh??

Kelly laughed softly. “You’re my husband. What would I use you for?”

Zev raised an eyebrow. “Fair point.”.

Kelly shook her head. Somehow, Zev always managed to make her smile. “Mr: Lockhart, with all those rumors and your busy schedule, how do you even have time to come pick me up from work?”

She narrowed her eyes and pulled out her phone, tapping into the news app.

As expected, the top trending story was “Lockhart Group’s CEO Spotted Getting Cozy With Secretary. Zev instantly looked guilty.

He had clearly rushed over the moment he saw the headline, terrified his wife would see it and get mad.

“Darling, let me explain,” he blurted out. “She’s new. HR hired her, and she literally threw herself at me. I fired her on the spot and told Hanson to blacklist her from the whole industry. Next time I need a secretary, I’ll have Hanson double–check everything.”

Zev was nearly in tears. “It’s dangerous being a man these days. They come at you out of nowhere. It’s terrifying! Can’t you just quit being a doctor and come work as my secretary instead? Please? I’m scared.”

Speechless, Kelly massaged her temples. This man–he could drive her crazy and melt her heart all at

once.

“Starting tomorrow, no more gym for you. Eat all the junk food you can. Get fat. No one will try anything then,” she teased, pinching his cheek.

“No way! What if you stop loving me when I get fat?” Zev was alarmed. He was extremely disciplined, terrified that she’d stop wanting him.

He was particularly concerned about the numerous eager suitors who were persistently pursuing Kelly. “I’m taking Shawn in for a colonoscopy tomorrow,” she said casually, not intending to hide it from Zev. She couldn’t, knowing full well Zev would explode when he found out.

“What?! You’re going with him? No! Absolutely not!” He snapped, just as she expected.
