hapter 412 Prepared for Whatever Game Their Way

Kelly, this situation Isn't urgent, but the finances can't wait Quentin said, his volee thick with fri He gazed at Kelly, letting out a tired sigh. "The police are still searching for Zlon. Before he return a plan to handle Lockhart Group's financial crisis.

Kelly sat frozen, her mind numb, the weight of his words pounding in her ears.

If it weren't for Wade's warning about the Wagners before his death, or if she hadn't forced Clarissa to spill the truth, she might have remained as blind as Zev, trusting the Wagners and Quentin just like before,noveldrama

Now that Lockhart Group was on the brink of financial ruin, everything Quentin said seemed so reasonable. Kelly could easily believe him, casily be swayed.

"Kelly, if you're unsure, why not sell the Wagner Group shares to the Wagners? You're all family. It won't make much of a difference, right?" Quentin urged, his tone gentle but persistent. "If you don't trust Shawn, then sell them to Patrick. He's Zion's uncle; he's not an outsider."

Kelly barely heard him, lost in her thoughts. But when Quentin mentioned Patrick, her mind snapped back.

Patrick was the chairman of the Wagner Group, but not its only major shareholder. Both Helena and Gary had stakes too.

Patrick's share was a third of their 60% control, just 20% of the total stock.

Years ago, Osbert had planned to pass Gray Group down to Helena. Gary, being a soldier, owned shares in the company but had no involvement in its operations. Helena had always managed them on his behalf.

Patrick, on the other hand, had never shown much enthusiasm for running the business. He lacked a natural talent for leadership, and his rigid, old-fashioned approach made him far less capable than Helena..

While Helena was in charge, Wagner Group thrived. But after her passing, under Patrick's leadership, the company remained steady-neither making major missteps nor achieving remarkable success.

Now that Shawn had taken over, there was finally some real

progress.

Kelly couldn't quite wrap her head around it. Patrick never seemed interested in corporate management. I heard that, back then, he even wanted to hand the company over to Helena entirely so he could travel the world. Osbert had blown up at him, forcing him to stay.

But if Patrick is after the shares... Why? He's already withdrawn from the company's leadership. What would he gain from them?

"Kelly?" Quentin asked, sensing her confusion but not pushing it. "Take your time to think it over. There's a lot to consider, and I'll leave you to it. Call me when you've made up your mind."

Once Quentin left, it felt as though the burden of the decision was now entirely on Kelly.

Without Zev, if she refused to hand over the shares to save Lockhart Group, she would be blamed for its collapse. She would carry that responsibility forever and not be able to face Zev upon his return.

But if she gave them up, she would be playing right into the hands of whoever was pulling the strings.

"Kelly, what did Quentin want?" Caden asked, hurrying over to her, concern clear in his voice. "Did Zev?"

Kelly shook her head. He said the company in franelal trouble and nords Wagner Group shares.

But Caden's worry was evident.

Sidney walked in, just finishing a phone call. His face was serious. "The United Firion found a brady in the desert... A male. They're still rumming DNA tests.

Kelly's heart skipped a beat, her vision blurring. "It can't be Zev. He can't be dead?

Sidney met her gaze, his expression serious. "Right now, it's not just about Zev. Lockhart Group is in trouble too, Kelly. You need to stay focused."

Kelly clenched her fists, feeling helpless. She didn't know how to handle this. She wasn't like Zev; she wasn't built for this. She was a doctor, not a businesswoman. "I can't..." Her voice broke with uncertainty.

She had zero confidence in this field as it wasn't her specialty.

"Why be scared?" Vincent's voice cut through the tension as he entered, breathless. He had obviously heard about Zev. "I thought you were always calm under pressure."

Kelly glanced at him, her eyes tired and red. "I've never faced anything like this."

"You're not alone," Vincent said with a small nod to Sidney. "If you trust us, just follow our lead."

“The two major projects are in jeopardy... This is a huge amount of money," Kelly said, her voice tight with anxiety.

I can't raise that much on my own, but Mr. Hardison, with you on board, securing 20% of the Wagner Group shares should be possible," Vincent said, offering a reassuring smile.

"Kelly's like family to me. I trust her," Sidney replied, though his eyes were still filled with caution. "I just hope you're not here to exploit the situation, Mr. Brooks."

"I trust him," Kelly said, her gaze steady on Vincent.

She was willing to place her trust in him.

"Very well." Sidney nodded.

"Quentin is the one behind this. He was the one who lured Zev away. He's also the reason everything inside the company is unraveling. Two major projects are collapsing due to critical errors, and then he turned around and told me to sell my shares to save the company ... " Kelly bit down on her fingernail, forcing herself to stay composed.

This is not the time to break down.

"I still have people inside. Right now, they think they're safe. The most urgent task

is getting rid of Quentin and eliminating the internal threat to Lockhart Group first." Hanson rushed over, locking eyes with her.

Kelly took a deep breath and gave a firm nod. "Okay...

I will go to Lockhart Group myself. I will take Zev's place and ensure I have full

control over the company's future.

I just need to hold on until he's back.

Chapter 412 Prepared for Whatever Came Their Way

I'm sure Zev will come back,

The enemy has revealed his intention.

Now, all I have to do is wait for his return...

After fighting hidden battles for so long, it's time to turn the tables.

"If neither of you knows who's behind this, we'll have to be cautious of both Gary

and Patrick. Vincent spoke softly beside Kelly, "Don't worry. Even without Zev, you've got us."

Kelly gave him a thankful look. It was surprising that the person she had once threatened was now the one standing by her.

"Thank you... I won't use your secrets to threaten you again," she said, a hint of guilt in her voice.

Caden leaned in. "What secrets, Vincent? What dirt does Kelly have on you?" Vincent's ears reddened. "None of your business. Hurry up and go get money with your brother.

...

Kelly raised her hand to silence them. "One more thing "She turned to Sidney and Vincent. "Once I announce the sale of the Wagner Group shares to you, it'll drag both of you into this. Whoever is behind this, they might be much more dangerous than we think."

She wanted them to be ready for whatever might come next.

Sidney scoffed. "Don't worry about me. The Hardisons have always been in the dirt. We're used to it."

He was helping both Zev and himself.

Vincent shrugged. "I only have one sister. As long as they don't touch her, we're good."

Kelly nodded, her mind made up. "Alright, then. We face it together."

They were ready to confront the unknown, the dark force pulling the strings.

And they would be prepared for whatever came their way.
