Clarissa clenched her fists as she stared at the phone screen. No matter how many times she dialed, the call wouldn’t go through.

She went straight to the HR manager first, determined to get some answers. Why had the victim’s family suddenly agreed to settle and receive compensation?

She reminded Zev, “Zion, I hope you really think this through. When your abilities don’t match your position, it’s best not to act recklessly. Someone won’t always be there to clean up your mess.”

Zev looked at Clarissa and taunted, “If you can outmatch Ken’s ability, then you can come to lecture me.” Clarissa’s expression darkened as she walked away.

The moment she was gone, Zev relaxed into his chair and dialed Kelly. “Honey, it’s settled.

“What should we eat for dinner?” Kelly inquired without missing a beat.

Zev, ever the carnivore, immediately suggested, “How about barbecued ribs and cowboy beef stew?”

“Fine, but you have to eat some salad too,” Kelly insisted, making sure he kept a balanced diet.

Zev answered reluctantly, “Ugh… fine.” He’d force himself to eat a few greens.

“By the way, the price of helping you keep Wade today is, we have to sacrifice your son. He’s staying at Lockhart Mansion tonight,” Kelly stated with resignation.

Zev’s eyes lit up instantly, suddenly energized. “Let him stay there for a while. He’s still young enough to be used without holding a grudge.”

Kelly fell silent.

Outside Lockhart Group building.

By the time Clarissa walked out of the building, the crowd that had gathered to make a scene had already dispersed. Security had also cleared out any remaining onlookers. However, a few reporters lingered, and Ken was speaking with a handful of senior journalists, briefing them on the upcoming press conference.

“When is the time of the press conference?” one of the reporters asked.

Ken smiled smoothly, completely at ease. “Apologies, but since Lockhart Group’s top management is currently transitioning, we’ll announce the exact date later.”

After all, this was Lockhart Group, the leader of Seaville’s business world. Everyone knew what was going on as soon as they heard about the recent changes in top management. It meant Wade Lockhart was preparing to step down.

“Excuse me! Will the next CEO of the Lockhart Group be Ms. Clarissa, or will it be Wade’s grandson, Zion?”

“We’ve heard that Mr. Zion has no interest in business and isn’t particularly skilled at it. Is that true?”

The

reporters buzzed with excitement.

Ken remained composed, his tone was calm yet firm. “The Lockhart Group belongs to the Lockharts. There’s no question that Zion will take over. As for Clarissa? She is neither a Lockhart family member nor an indispensable figure. I’m not sure why anyone would think Lockhart Group would be handed over to an

outsider.”

Just as he spoke, Clarissa stepped out from behind him, her face clouded with anger. Her hands clenched tightly at her sides.

“Ms. Lynch!”

“Isn’t Ms. Clarissa supposed to be the future wife of the Lockhart Group’s next CEO? Before Zion returned, wasn’t she the one managing the company? Isn’t this just a case of using someone and then discarding them? Does the Lockhart Group have no conscience?”

A few reporters who supported Clarissa started stirring the waters.

Ken turned his gaze to Clarissa for a brief moment before speaking indifferently. “First of all, before Zion’s return, Ms. Clarissa did serve as acting general manager. She was paid for her work, and the Lockhart Group never owed her a single cent. It wasn’t unpaid labor, so where does this ‘discarding after use‘ nonsense come from?”

He then shifted his focus back to the reporter who had asked the question, his presence commanding. “Moreover, over the past few years, Ms. Lynch has gained numerous benefits and connections through the Lockhart Group. None of those profits were turned over to the company, nor did they benefit the employees. We never demanded a single cent from her, and yet you claim we’re lacking in conscience? Tell me, who is the one lacking a conscience here?”

Ken had spent years navigating the ruthless business world. His aura was not something Clarissa could easily suppress.

Clarissa’s jaw tightened as she forced a steady voice. “Mr. Morris, what makes you so sure I’ve taken advantage of the Lockharts? I have worked tirelessly for this company and given birth to Wade’s grandson, I have contributed both in effort and sacrifice! And now, Zion, who knows nothing about business, suddenly walks in and takes over the Lockhart Group while you try to push me out? Isn’t that a little too hasty?”

In front of the press, Clarissa and Ken had officially declared war.

Meanwhile, on the second–floor staircase, Zev leaned against the railing, casually twirling a cigarette between his fingers.
