Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

hapter 401 Ken Took the Core Team With Him

Caden stood off to the side, his posture stiff with unease as if he were a child caught in the act of wrongdoing.

Zev, burning with fever, lay motionless in bed, not uttering a single word.

A subtle tension hung between them.

Kelly prepared a bowl of oatmeal for Zev. When she stepped into the room and noticed their gloomy expressions, she lowered her voice and asked, "Did you two get into an argument?"

Without much strength, Zev retrieved a thermometer and muttered, "With a fever of 103.1°F, do you really think I have the energy to fight with him?"

Kelly placed a gentle hand on Zev's forehead, worry evident in her eyes. "Eat something first, okay? Taking fever medicine on an empty stomach won't feel good."

But Zev had no appetite-he just wanted to sleep.

Seeing no other choice, Kelly tried to persuade him again. "If you don't eat before taking medicine, your stomach will feel even worse."

"It's miserable..." Zev muttered, rolling over and wrapping himself tightly in the blanket, stubbornly refusing to eat.

Kelly gently patted his back, trying to comfort him.

Zev let out a low grunt but still wouldn't budge.

Fevers always brought unbearable discomfort-body aches, sore muscles, and even deep, throbbing pain in the bones.

What worried Kelly the most was Zev running a fever. His past injuries-damage to his bones, muscles, and deep fascia-made everything worse. The buildup of lactic acid during a fever amplified his pain, making it far more excruciating than usual.

Since Zev still refused to eat, Kelly lowered her voice and issued a quiet threat. "Fine, then. I'll cancel the family doctor's visit and take you straight to the hospital. We'll get you admitted, and I'll have the nurse give you a full examination."

For Zev, getting admitted to the hospital was already a nightmare-but enduring a nurse's examination was an even worse ordeal.

He'd rather suffer at home than step foot in that place.

Zev abruptly sat up and, with a defeated expression, scarfed down the bowl of oatmeal.

Scowling at Caden, he muttered, "Why are you still hanging around here? Go to the hospital and look after

Charles."

Caden's eyes turned red as he stared at Zev, feeling a sense of injustice. "So... are we still good?"

Kelly was completely lost.

Since when did those two become friends?

"Speak clearly-what do you mean by 'good'..." Zev nearly choked in frustration.

Caden hesitated before mumbling, "Can we still be friends?" He was terrified that Zev might cut ties with him and Sidney for good.

"What's your deal? This has nothing to do with you. I'll sort things out with your brother once I'm better. Now get out-I'm not inviting you to stay for dinner," Zev said, turning his gaze away.

If the Hardisons were truly involved, he despised them. But what terrified him more was the thought of losing his best friend... and Sidney, who had always been like family to him.

He had already lost so much.

Caden stayed where he was, unwilling t both him and Sidney.

After a long pause, Zev finally broke the silence. "Take Shane and Jasper with you. My wife is exhausted from looking after me, so you can keep an eye on them."

Only then did Caden nod vigorously, quickly scooping up the two kids and running off.

Once Caden had gone, Kelly quietly asked, “What did he do to upset you? Why does he seem so scared of you all of a sudden?"

"He's feeling guilty... tightly.

"Zev pulled Kelly close, wrapping his arms around her

His body felt unnaturally hot, likely from the fever, and even his breath seemed to burn.

"Zev..."

.." Kelly hesitated before speaking again. "Before Mr. Wade passed, he told me that there might have been multiple people behind your dad's kidnapping. After all these years, if the real culprit hasn't been caught, it can only mean one thing-Seaville must be trying to protect that person..." She gently patted Zev's back.

It was a harsh reality, one that might be too cruel to bear.

Zev stayed silent, though his breathing grew more labored.

Kelly could sense the weight pressing down on him. He must have understood everything by now.

He knew that his father's death couldn't have been the work of just one person.

Kidnapping a powerful figure from this country involved a vast web of people, resources, and financial connections.

"Mr. Zion." The doctor entered the room.

Kelly got up, ready to pour Zev a cup of hot water, but before she could, Hanson hurried in.

"Mr. Zion!"

"Mr. Zion... there's an issue..." Hanson gasped, his eyes locked on Zev. "Ken... Ken has joined the Wagner Group, and he's taken... the key technical staff from our project and engineering departments with

Ken wasted no time jumping ship after Wade's death to join another company.

"Shawn has officially taken control of Wagner Group, and I have no idea when he and Ken teamed up.noveldrama

Chapter 401 Ken Took the Core Team With Him

Shawn managed to steal Ken and the core team from Lockhart Group. With Patrick unable to rein in Shawn anymore, Shawn has completely flipped the situation," Hanson raged. "Ken, that traitor, and Shawn, the crafty villain." Kelly stared at Hansoni in shock, then shifted her gaze to Zev.

Ken... turned against us?

What was he thinking? What did he hope to gain?

It seemed clear now that Shawn was as devious as they had suspected, using withdrawal as a strategic move to advance. If Ken really had joined forces with Shawn, then Patrick would have no chance of maintaining control over the group's direction.

But is it really as it seems?

"Shawn, Ken!" Zev completely lost control, his emotions boiling over.

He gripped his fists tightly, his anger radiating from him.

All his hatred was now focused solely on Shawn and Ken.

Anger and hatred could easily distort his perception ....

Feeling uneasy, Kelly quickly averted her gaze. She had to get to Ken and find

out what this was all about.
