The commotion was too loud for Kelly and the children to ignore.

She handed Jasper to Shane and got up to head to the kitchen.

Shawn, with a small cut on his lip, looked at Kelly with a hurt expression. “Kelly, maybe Zion doesn’t want me here. I’ll leave.”

Kelly rubbed her forehead and turned to scold Zev in front of Shawn, “What are you trying to do?”

Zev was angry. “He started it!”

“Are you still a child? Don’t you have any self–control? You can’t solve everything with violence,” Kelly said, upset, before looking at Shawn. “Let me take care of that cut.”

Shawn nodded, shooting a taunting look at Zev, who was irritated and threw the utensils on the ground.

Shawn followed Kelly to the side, where she started treating the cut on his lip.

As a doctor, she did it carefully, but Shawn winced, noticing a redness near his eye. “I thought you wouldn’t like guys like Zev.”

Kelly paused and met his gaze. “I used to think that too, but I’ve come to see that he has his good qualities.”

Shawn muttered, “It’s just because the guy you liked hurt you, so you settled for second best.”

Kelly went silent, tossing the cotton swab in the trash. After a moment, she said, “You should head back. Thanks for the gift for Shane.”

“Kelly,” Shawn said, standing and looking at her. “You deserve someone better.”

She simply smiled, not responding.

Watching him leave, Kelly leaned against the doorframe, deep in thought.

Shawn knew that if he wanted to gain power in the Seaville business circle, the fastest way was to take down the Lockharts.

He was sure that Zev was just an impulsive fool, so he planned to target the Lockhart Group.

“He’s just a jerk,” Zev muttered, frustrated, standing in front of Kelly. “And you even scolded me for him.” She looked helplessly at him. “There’s no need to resort to violence.”

His acting was overdone.

Zev also sensed that Kelly’s scolding wasn’t just for show. “He’s trying to seduce you. He’s interested in you.”

“Do

you truly think he’s interested in me?” Kelly smiled helplessly. “I don’t have that kind of appeal. Shawn knows exactly what he wants. He thinks if he can take me away, he’ll easily deal with you.”

She wasn’t foolish–Shawn was just using her as part of his plan.

Zev snorted. “I don’t care. You still scolded me.”

“You’re still throwing a tantrum?” Kelly sighed. “Shawn is more dangerous than Clarissa, and you still haven’t dealt with her yet.”

Zev went quiet, grabbing Kelly’s wrist and pulling her into his arms. “No rush,” he said, sounding confident.

“Sorry, Mrs. Kelly has a rule about uninvited guests,” the butler’s voice called out. “Hey, what are you two doing?”

There was a commotion by the gate, and the butler had trouble stopping the people, eventually letting them inside.

Kelly frowned as she saw Clarissa and Regina, both carrying gifts and walking in with Eric.

“I can call the police for trespassing,” Kelly warned coldly.

Clarissa smirked. “Even the police can’t get involved in family matters. Shane is my biological son. If I don’t attend his birthday, can we call it a celebration?”

She shot Kelly a provocative look. “After all, I gave birth to him and endured the most on his birthday.”

Kelly looked grim, refusing to let Clarissa inside. “You gave up custody. How dare you come here? Either leave or I’ll call the police.”

“Kelly, it’s Shane’s birthday. We just want to be here with him.” Eric stepped forward, trying to reason with her.

Zev looked furious. “You’re so shameless. Do you think there are no men in this house? Leave now, or I’ll make you.”

Eric frowned at Kelly. “Mr. Wade said we could see the child.”

“Leave now. This is my house. Go find the one who invited you,” Zev advanced, pushing them back.
