Shawn frowned and glanced at Kelly before deliberately saying, "Dad, you're being too impatient. We have our plans, so there's no need to-"

Patrick shot him a sharp look, instantly silencing him.

The tension in the room was palpable. After a moment of silence, Patrick finally spoke, "You're getting married tomorrow."

Kelly kept quiet, avoiding Shawn's gaze. If she dared to refuse, Patrick would likely send his men to drag her there tomorrow morning.

"Come have dinner," Patrick ordered, making them sit down under the heavy atmosphere.

Hannah, familiar with her husband's temper, sensed the growing pressure.

"I'm not feeling well. I'll skip dinner and rest in my room," she murmured, instinctively avoiding his mood.

At the dining table, Shawn hesitated before speaking, "Dad-

"Just eat," Patrick cut him off.

His mood was off today-clearly, something had upset him. Most likely, it was Zev's 'death.'

After all, Zev was his biological nephew.

Kelly ate dinner in silence, feeling as if it were her last meal.

By the time they left, Patrick had already retreated to his study, his expression grim.

"I'll take you home," Shawn said with concern. As they stepped out of the living room, he lowered his voice. "What's your plan?"

Shawn had intended to take Kelly back himself, but before he could act, Patrick's driver had already opened the car door and gotten in. "Mr. Patrick asked me to drive you both home."

It was clear that Patrick had dropped all pretense-he wasn't hiding his intentions anymore. He was going to keep them under surveillance and apply pressure.

"Let's just rest early," Kelly said, looking at Shawn with a smile. "Tomorrow morning, we're getting married."

He was caught off guard, his face tense with uncertainty.noveldrama

Is she truly willing to marry me?

With the driver keeping an eye on them, Shawn didn't dare ask further.

After they arrived home, he took Kelly's hand. "We'll go to City Hall together in the

morning, so let's stay together tonight."

She hesitated briefly, then nodded.

Watching them step out of the car, the driver made a call to Patrick. "They're

home. I'll take them to City

Hall tomorrow."

Patrick had no patience left. No matter what obstacles arose, he was determined

to see Kelly and Shawn legally bound.

Even if it meant resorting to extreme measures.

"Patrick's losing it. Are you truly going to marry me tomo stepped inside.

Shawn asked anxiously as soon as they

Kelly was quiet for a moment before meeting his gaze. "Is there any way to stall for more time?"

Shawn frowned. "After tonight, no matter what happens, Patrick will make sure we go."

Kelly took a deep breath.

She had already sent Oscar to dig into Beau's background, searching for his rumored illegitimate child- Beau's weak spot. If they could expose him, they could force him to talk.

But there was no way Oscar could find that illegitimate child overnight.

If Beau confessed, Patrick would be dragged into the mess.

Even if they couldn't find hard evidence immediately, at least Patrick would be occupied. That would buy her some time.

Rubbing her forehead, Kelly sank onto the couch.

At that point, delaying any further seemed impossible.

"If we don't show up at City Hall tomorrow morning, Patrick might take drastic action," Shawn said, sitting beside her. "Kelly, maybe we should just go along with it and get the marriage certificate first."

With Zev presumed dead, Kelly was now technically a widow and free to remarry at any time.

She stayed silent for a long time before finally saying, "Let's hold off a little longer." "Patrick isn't stupid. No matter what excuse we come up with, he'll be suspicious," Shawn warned.

No matter what they did tonight, Patrick would be watching.

Kelly bit her finger, deep in thought.

Just then, her phone rang. She answered it quickly, feeling tense.

It was Oscar.

"My mom said my dad's acting strange today. Did he try to force you to marry Shawn?" he asked, clearly worried.

Oscar was currently in Fernville, investigating Beau's past. He couldn't come back yet, but he was concerned for Kelly's safety.

"He's getting impatient,” she admitted. Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Can you track down Beau's son by tonight?"

If Beau confessed, Patrick would be implicated.

"He's hidden his son well-there aren't any leads" Oscar sighed. "He doesn't have

many close relatives in his hometown, so we've hit a dead end."

"Are there any young men in his family younger than Regina?" Kelly asked nervously.

At that point, they had no choice but to take a risk.

"There are a few," Oscar replied. "His uncle has a grandson who's 18, and his cousin has a 22-two-year-old

son."

Most of the others were much younger.

Kelly thought for a moment. "Clarissa mentioned that Beau changed about eight years ago. That's when he stopped caring about his daughter. She could sense the shift in him."

That meant his illegitimate son had to be young.

"If he's going to such lengths to protect this child, he must be around eight or nine," she speculated.

Beau was already past his prime, yet he was still fighting to hold onto power. He must be doing it for his son.

"I see," Oscar said, his tone sharp. "There's only one person who fits-Beau's old mansion's butler has a grandson who's eight."

Kelly bit her lip. "Oscar, we have to try. Get a photo of that boy and pressure Beau into talking."

"This is risky. A paternity test takes time. What if we're wrong?" Oscar hesitated. "Patrick is out of control. If I don't get married tomorrow morning, he might kill me instead," Kelly said grimly.

She wasn't afraid to die-but with Patrick's paranoia, anything could happen.

“I understand. I'll have my team test him tonight," Oscar said before hanging up.

He was already on his way back.

If Beau implicated Patrick, the authorities would have to detain him for questioning. As long as the interrogation didn't exceed 48 hours, he must comply.

At least, it would buy Kelly two days-enough time for the paternity test. Shawn didn't leave that night. Part of it was to ease Patrick's suspicion, but more importantly, he wanted to ensure Kelly's safety.

"We should sleep in the same room. He followed her as she entered the bedroom.

The maid was Patrick's spy. She was there to keep watch.

Kelly frowned and gestured to the floor. "Then you sleep there."

Shawn sighed. "Do I have to sleep on the floor?"

"Then sleep in the bathroom." She pointed toward the door.

Without arguing, he sat on the floor, accepting his fate.

Neither of them managed to sleep. At 3:00 a.m., Kelly received Oscar's call.

"You were right! Beau talked-he said Patrick is the one behind everything, but he

hasn't provided any proof yet."

So far, all they had was Beau's word. He was still holding back.

"That's enough." Kelly exhaled, a faint smile appearing.

Even if the police only questioned Patrick, she'd at least get a moment to relax.
