rissa smiled and pulled out a check. "You tell Kelly to fill in any amount she wants. Whatever she writes, we''ll pay."
Eric eyed her warily.
"You make her write down the amount she wants, force her to say it, and keep the evidence. We''ll use her of ckmail," rissa said calmly.
This tactic always worked for rissa.
Whenever she dealt with someone causing trouble or demandingpensation, the goal was always the same: money. rissa would intentionally provoke them, get them to demand arge settlement, and utter threatening words, only to actually send over the amount they named. Afterward, she would call the police, using them of extortion.
Eric tensed up, his brow furrowed as he looked at rissa. "You want to put Kelly behind bars?"
"Don''t worry," rissa said, her voice calm. "We''ll just file the case as a way to trade it for another one. We''re not actually going to put her in prison. If she agrees to withdraw the case, forgive Regina, pretend the incident never happened, and recant her statement, then we can drop the charges and go through with the ckmail usation. That way, she''ll behave." rissa gave Eric''s shoulder a light pat.
Beau spoke up, adding, "I know you care about Kelly, but right now, she won''t listen to anyone. We can''t let Regina serve three years in prison, can we? Don''t worry, we''re not going to send Kelly to jail."
rissa pushed further. "If you wouldn''t do it for Regina? Think about Faye-she''s had a fever sincest night, crying and calling for her mother." She knew where Eric''s weaknessy, and she aimed for it.
Eric clenched his fists, speaking in a low voice. "I won''t do it. Regina was in the wrong from the start. If she hadn''t hurt Kelly, she wouldn''t be facing prison."
With that, Eric walked away.
rissa smirked coldly. "Such a hypocrite.
"Dad, don''t worry, I have a way to make Eric agree," she said confidently.
Beau nced at his daughter, knowing that rissa was the one who most resembled him.

"Sometimes, you can''t get what you want without a little sacrifice," rissa murmured. She walked out or the office and called the maid who was taking care of Faye. "Is Faye still running a fever?"
"She''s cooled down," the maid quickly answered.
"I want her to have another fever tonight, understand?" rissa asked.
The maid hesitated but agreed. "Y-yes, Ms. rissa."
"When her feverer hack cand the child to Fric''s mother She''s staying at Eric''s ce now" ricen

At Kelly''s ce.
Melody stayed by Kelly''s side, helping her with the hospital discharge procedures before heading home.
"Oscar''s still at the station. Your professor''s case iscking key surveince evidence, but since the footage is inconclusive, we can''t define it as a suicide yet. Don''t worry, once we find the critical evidence, it will be ruled a homicide, and a full investigation will follow," Melody reassured Kelly.
Kelly clutched her pillow tightly and nodded.
"I heard you saw a psychiatrist today. How did it go? Were you able to speak yet?" Melody asked, her concern evident.
Kelly shook her head.
Not yet.
"Don''t rush it. Taking your time is fine. Just being willing to ept help is the best start," Melody said, hugging Kelly. "We all have to live well."
Kelly nodded again.
"I made some pasta; want to try it?" Zev called from the kitchen, wearing a teddy bear apron as he cooked.
Melody shuddered, feeling a bit ufortable.
Could you imagine? A tall, muscr guy stood at six feet two, with tattoos all over his arms, wearing a sleeveless shirt and a teddy bear apron, making spaghetti.
“Is this guy the lion you tamed?” Melody whispered to Kelly.
Kelly shook her head. She hadn''t expected Zev to wear the apron left behind by the house owner.
It felt out of ce, yet oddlyforting.
Kelly peeked at Zev. He wasn''t as intimidating when he wasn''t angry, though he still looked fierce.
Melody raised an eyebrow and looked at Zev. She threatened, "I don''t have proof that you''re an armed foreign militant, but don''t think you''ll get away with bullying Kelly. This is Seaville, and my husband''s a detective."
Zev nodded. "She''s the one bullying me. When have I ever bullied her?"
Melody nced at Kelly, then at Zev. There was something going on here.
"You''d better give up on this idea. A man like you, wandering from ce to ce, doesn''t deserve someone like Kelly," Melody said protectively.
Zev raised an evebrow and grinned "Once I get things sorted out I''ll marry her"

Just as Melody was about tosh out and chide him for dreaming of having someone he couldn''t have, the doorbell rang.
Zev went to answer it. Standing outside were Eric and his mother.
The moment Dawn saw a man inside, she exploded. "I told you! She''s been cheating on you behind your back. Look, she''s been keeping men in the house!" "Everyone,e see. This is my daughter-inw, keeping men in the house while my son''s away. A man and a woman, alone together in the same room. She''s trying to cheat on him!" Dawn shouted, her voice high-pitched.
Eric''s face turned red with embarrassment. "Mom, stop yelling."
Dawn huffed. "Just look at her. Why are you keeping someone like her? Get a divorce., She''s at fault here- make her leave with nothing!"
