Hubby 171 Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby Chapter 171 Grandpa Discovered Zev's Identity 61% Finished "We apologize for not monitoring more closely, and we'll address this issue promptly. Thank you for your constructive criticism," Ken regained his composure, approached Zev, and patted his shoulder with a smile in his eyes.

Zev grimaced and stepped back, dodging Ken's touch.

Ken paused, his hand suspended in mid-air for a moment, and a flicker of disappointment crossed his face before he managed a smile. “I'm Ken. I apologize on behalf of IF Shopping Center for any inconvenience you've experienced today," Kelly was taken aback. Despite being a high-ranking executive within the Lockhart Group, he was remarkably down-to-earth and kind.

"Let's leave, Zev," Kelly suggested, gripping Zev's hand, ready to move on from the encounter.

"Why are you letting them leave just like that? My nis Regina, and do you know who I am? My sister Clarissa is married to the heir of the Lockhart Group. You could easily have him thrown out, couldn't you?" Regina blurted out impulsively.

Eric quickly intervened, pulling her aside as he saw Ken approaching. "That's enough!" It seemed everyone in the Lynches had their motives, except for Regina, who often lacked tact.

"Are you instructingon how to handle my duties?" Ken's presence grew commanding, his voice deep and authoritative.

Kelly glanced up at Ken. He stood about 6 feet tall, his demeanor mature and composed, wearing a pair of rimless glasses that framed his thoughtful eyes, embodying the suave, authoritative CEO often depicted in .

Despite his age, he had the look of a distinguished gentleman, fitting perfectly into the 'charming uncle' archetype.

"Don't look at him, look at me," Zev said sharply, tugging Kelly's chin towards him, visibly annoyed at her attention being diverted. "He's not better looking than I am.” Kelly sighed, slightly exasperated by his jealousy.

"So you're Ken? I've heard about you from my sister. You're the orphan the old man took in, working under the Lockhart Group. Can't you prioritize what's truly important?" Regina snapped, her face red with anger.

Eric struggled to restrain her.

Ken's demeanor swiftly cooled as he regarded Regina with a clinical detachment. "Ms. Lynch, your parole was on the grounds of a mental condition, correct? Such a volatile illness requires vigilant supervision by a guardian because if anything happens, the guardian is also liable." Ken's penetrating gaze then shifted to Eric.

"Sorry. Let's go," Eric muttered, pulling a resistant Regina away.

Regina visibly unset was dragged away by Fric despite her proteste 1/3 IVIUIT, S IVidy Chapter 171 Grandpa Discovered Zev's Identity 61% Finished He seemed about to say something but ultimately shook his head and led Regina away without a word.

"I apologize for today's inconvenience," Ken said to Zev with a friendly smile. "As a gesture of our commitment to better service and safety, feel free to enjoy your shopping today-anything you choose is on us." This offer left everyone, including Eric and Regina who were still nearby, stunned. Regina clenched her teeth in frustration, resentful of Kelly's seeming good fortune.

Zev, however, was visibly displeased. "No thanks," he said tightly, his demeanor tense and his eyes dark with irritation.

Kelly noticed Zev's unusual behavior; he seemed particularly hostile towards Ken. Ken simply continued to smile, making no further comment.

"This guy doesn't know how to accept kindness," the mall manager muttered.

Zev stepped closer to Ken, lowering his voice to a harsh whisper. "Be careful what you say. I wouldn't want any careless talk making its way back to my grandfather." With that, Zev briskly walked away, pulling Kelly along with him.

Ken's demeanor shifted as soon as they left. He turned to the mall manager with a severe look. "How can someone like you, who only knows how to appease, be fit for management? Conduct a thorough review, and if any misconduct is found, it will result in termination." He then addressed the crowd that had gathered, their phones out. "If you can assurethat none of this footage will be leaked, I'll make sure each of you receives a gift." Outside the mall, Zev marched quickly, his expression dark.

Despite his evident anger, he maintained a firm grip on Kelly's hand, pulling her along swiftly.

Kelly, struggling to keep up, finally spoke. "Can we slow down a bit? Your legs just got better." Zev halted and said icily, "Honey, every tI see that Eric, I just want to punch him." Kelly gave a resigned smile. "Is it just Eric and Regina making you angry?" Somehow, it seemed like most of his ire was directed at Ken, the high-ranking executive from the Lockhart Group.

"I don't want to stoop to the level of those sc*mb*gs. We're supposed to be celebrating our three-month wedding anniversary today. Let's forget them and go enjoy ourselves. There's a nice restaurant nearby, not too spicy-just how you like it." Zev changed the subject and steered Kelly toward the restaurant adjacent to the mall.

Zev was profoundly different from Eric.

He seldom said "I love you" or made grand romantic gestures, yet his actions were consistently thoughtful 213 Chapter 171 Grandpa Discovered Zev's Identity [361%L, Finished

After she had a bad reaction to a spicy meal and beer one time, Zev had since avoided taking her to cat overly spicy foods. However, knowing her taste for a bit of spice, he would find places that offered just the right amount of flavor. "Why do you always know what I like?" Kelly asked softly. She was curious; she had never expressed her food preferences explicitly, especially not in Solmarisn, where everything had tasted bland.

"Why would I need to ask? If I'm unsure if you'd prefer chicken or fish, I'll get both and see which one you eat more of. It's simple," Zev shrugged, thinking it was no big issue.

That had been his approach back in Solmaris too when Kelly struggled couch with aphasia and could not speak. He had not asked; he would simply observe and act accordingly. Loving someone could be very straightforward.

The difference between love and indifference was always clearly visible.

Back at Lockhart Mansion, Wade sat in the courtyard, looking at childhood photos of Zion and Sylvester, his eyes glistening with tears.

When Ken arrived, he found the old man still wiping his eyes.

"Mr. Wade," Ken approached quietly, breaking the silence gently. "I saw Zion today at the mall." The old master paused, his hand stopping mid-motion as he looked up sharply at Ken. "What?" 200
