Chapter 19 Did Eric Embezzle Kelly's Parents' Inheritance?

Finished

"Get away from me." Kelly shook off Zev and limped toward the door, searching for the unit number. She reached under a flower pot and pulled out a key- Melody had arranged everything for her in advance.

"Flower pots, shoes, under the doormat-

you're not allowed to hide keys in these places anymore. You might as well roll

out the red carpet for burglars, Zev muttered, his chatterbox mode fully activated again

Kelly ignored him and stepped inside.

The apartment was one of Seaville's older, run-

down units, but its location made the rent expensive. Fortunately, the place was clean and came with all the essentials, including a fridge.

Melody's husband had helped her find it. Apparently, it had belonged to his stepfather's parents. They

didn't feel comfortable renting it

to strangers, so they offered it to Kelly at a lower price.

Kelly was grateful.

"Sit still." Without waiting for a response, Zev scooped her up and placed her on the couch before crouching down to examine her ankle. It was already swollen and dislocated. Kelly glared at him, frustrated by his complete lack of respect for personal boundaries.

"Hold still," Zev said, reaching to reset her ankle.

Kelly immediately stopped him, fear flashing in her eyes. She didn't want him to touch it.

Zev glanced past her. "That painting behind you-what's it supposed to mean?"

Kelly instinctively turned to look.

"Ouch!" The moment she looked away, Zev grabbed her ankle and forcefully reset the joint.

Pain shot through Kelly's body. Her eyes welled up with unshed tears, burning with anger and frustration.

Zev grinned and pulled her

into his arms, soothing her like coaxing a child. "All done."

Kelly's breathing was uneven, her chest rising and falling sharply. Furious, she shoved Zev with all her strength, and in the heat of the moment, she almost unconsciously blurted out. "Go...!"

Zev's body froze. His grip on her shoulders tightened, his eyes filled with shock and excitement. "Kelly... did you just speak?"

Fout.

Kelly was stunned too. She opened her mouth, trying to say something, but no sound came

Had she really spoken just now?

Zev was beyond thrilled. He hugged her even tighter. "Come on, curse at me again. Say something"noveldrama

Kelly's eyes stung, and she struggled to push him away.

When she actually tried to speak, the words refused to come out.

It was as if she was under a spell, trapped by a mental block she couldn't break.

"Alright, don't panic." Zev reassured her, noticing her distress.

He was

still in a good mood. "No rush. We'll take it slow. You'll be able to speak again, I know it."

Kelly lowered her head, silent.

Zev might be annoying, but it seemed like he truly wanted to help her.

Eric, on the other hand

Kelly didn't even dare to think about Enic right now. Just the thought of him made it hard to breathe, the pain in her chest

almost unbearable.

"This place is a bit small but not bad. Melody really looks out for you. Zev commented

as he scanned the apartment like a radar, checking every corner for potential security risks.

Watching him poke around, Kelly barely had time to dwell on her sadness. She signed impatiently. "What are you doing?"

After rummaging through a drawer. Zev pulled out a toolbox and started fixing the creaky metal security door.

Kelly was surprised-he actually knows howtodothis?

Still not in a hurry to leave, Zev wandered into the bathroom for an inspection. When he came back, he casually advised her. "Don't use the outlet in there for the hairdryer. The wiring isn't separated for wet and Kelly sat on the couch, watching him without a word.

"If you need anything, use the money I left for you. Don't be stingy with it, Zev leaned against the doorframe, speaking as if it was the most natural thing in the world. "I risk my life for my job-

sure, the bonuses are kinda pathetic, but there's more coming. And hey, what's a man's paycheck for if not for his wife? Am I right! Ill give you every cent once I get my next

Kelly was at a loss for words. She had no idea how to get this shameless man out of her life.

"I checked with the hospital. They said I need about ten more days before I'm fully recovered and discharged. Ten days" Zev sighed dramatically. "I'm devastated" He reached out, clearly wanting to hug her ag Just as Zev was about to shamelessly cling to her again. Gary had finally reached his limit. He stormed up the stairs and kicked the metal door

The security door that Zev had just fixed creaked loudly again

"Can you please stop with the violent outbursts? Zev complained. He sighed, grabbed the toolbox, and fixed the door again before Gary yanked him away by the collar.

As the door finally closed behind them. Kelly let out a

deep breath of relief. At last-some peace and quiet.

But as the silence settled, so did an overwhelming sense of fear and sorrow.

She didn't want to be alone. She was terrified of being swallowed whole by this darkness. She needed to go somewhere safe. somewhere she could clear her mind.

She couldn't afford to break down yet. She still had to uncover the truth and help the authorities catch Lucas.

Leaving the apartment, Kelly headed to the cemetery.

Her parents had been only children, and most of their few remaining relatives no longer lived in Seaville. That meant Eric had handled all the funeral arrangements: When Melody asked him about it, Eric had said he buried them at Sunstone Cemetery

with him.

Originally, Eric had agreed to come with Kelly. But she didn't want to go wit

Just as she arrived at the cemetery, her phone

vibrated. It was Melody "Kelly. I looked into it for you." Melody's voice came through the line "Two years ago, your parents' old neighborhood was selected for demolition. They had three apartments in Silverglow the market price was nearly 60 million. A wealthy overseas businessman bought it. But here's the thing-

both the compensation and the sale money were processed two years ago and the funds were transferred to Eric."

Kelly's footsteps came to a halt. Over 80 million dollars in inheritance, but Eric hadn't mentioned a single word about it

Not only that, but he had sold her grandfather's house behind her back! She had explicitly told him that house was the root of their family, something that could never be sold. But she had been missing for five and Eric had wasted no time
