Clarissa, who was supposed to be taking extra care during the first few months of her pregnancy, suddenly sat up straight, eyes locked onto her phone screen.

Her fingers trembled as she let go of the injection syringe in her hand.

The man in the video is Zion? He’s the heir of the Lockhart Group? No, this is impossible. Isn’t he Zion? The same street punk who had been protecting Kelly?

Standing up abruptly, Clarissa raised her hand and bit the pad of her finger in frustration.

Zev is Zion. Ha… no wonder, no wonder the young master of the Hardisons, Caden, began going above and beyond to help Kelly. Would a young master from the upper echelons of society ever involve himself in Kelly’s trifling matter? It turns out the root of the problem lies here. It’s Zev!

As everything clicked into place, Clarissa felt panic creeping in. Hasn’t Zev already registered his marriage with Kelly? Or is that just for the show? If this is real, the so–called future lady of the Lockhart Group will become nothing but a joke. This is unacceptable. I can’t let this happen.

More than that, but what qualifications does Kelly have to marry Zion? I’ve gone through so much, put on countless performances, and played my cards perfectly to get Mr. Wade to choose me as the family’s future granddaughter–in–law. And why Kelly? She’s just a parentless orphan. How can she have such a good fortune?

Hatred simmered in Clarissa’s eyes as her grip slowly tightened into a fist.

Huh, men! I don’t care whether Zev loves me or not, or whether he even likes me, it doesn’t matter. I’m not like those foolish women who throw themselves at men, fighting over them like love–struck idiots. I won’t lower myself to such a pathetic game.

Yet, I have to get rid of Zev and Kelly discretely. Neither of them can be left alive. Only if both Zev and Kelly die outside can the child in my womb and I legally inherit everything.

“Wait …” Clarissa had just been about to step out when a thought suddenly struck her.

Zev is a traitor to Lucas. Right now, his official identity is that of an orphan–a nobody, a street punk. So, Zev is actually an undercover agent sent by the military to infiltrate Lucas‘ organization.

“Hahaha.” Clarissa laughed.

What a stroke of luck. I’ve been racking my brain for a way to get rid of him, and here it was, served on a silver platter. I can use Lucas to finish Zev off once and for all.

Even though Lucas had escaped and couldn’t re–enter the country, he still had plenty of mercenaries stationed in Seaville. Wally was just one of them. All she had to do was tip Lucas off about Zev’s true identity, and Lucas would stop at nothing to eliminate him.

After all, Zev was the sole heir of the prestigious Lockharts in Seaville. Killing Zev was similar to extorting a significant sum of money from the elderly man.

A slow, satisfied smile curled at Clarissa’s lips as she stepped out of the room.

At the demolition zone.

Zev stepped out of Kelly’s old home, walking through the narrow alleyway. He took a few steps before slowing down, tugging the brim of his cap lower over his eyes.

Wow, so fast! I only met with Ken yesterday, and today, someone is already tailing me.

Sensing movement behind him, he picked up his pace, heading straight for the alley’s dead end. The men following him exchanged glances, then silently drew their knives, ready to strike.

“Found him!”

Oscar stood waiting at the end of the alley, flanked by several police officers.

The pursuers froze, immediately turning on their heels and disappearing into the shadows.

Zev glanced sideways, his lips curling into a cold smirk. “The wiring in the demolition zone is old. If it’s exposed to an open flame, it could trigger an explosion. But the thing is, if a fire starts inside a house and causes the wiring to explode, the external main switch should trip automatically unless someone tampered with it from the outside.”

Oscar gave a firm nod. “I looked into it. The year before Kelly left for the peacekeeping force, this entire area underwent a major circuit change. While the internal wiring in the houses remained outdated, the external circuits were completely rewired. In the event of an electrical explosion, the main breaker outside should have tripped. It has a built–in leakage protection system.”
