"Ms. Kelly, we''ve been informed that the donation you made to the research institute is considered joint property between you and Mr. Eric. Is that urate? You''re used of using Mr. Eric''s daughter to take money from him and donate it, and now you''re allegedly threatening to take his daughter as well. Can you confirm this?"
The reporters pressed in, their cameras shing relentlessly, demanding answers.
Zev moved forward, positioning himself between Kelly and the reporters, pulling her closer with a protective stance. "You''re filming in our home without permission. This is an invasion of our privacy. I could take legal action for this." The reporters exchanged uneasy nces but remained silent.
Eric, enraged, pointed directly at Zev. "This man is a smuggler and a terrorist! He''s kidnapped my daughter! Just look at the injuries on her face! I believe he''s been abusing children! He should be arrested immediately!"
He turned toward Faye, who was standing stiffly, visibly shaken and frightened.
"Faye, tell the police and me what he did to you. Don''t be scared. Tell us exactly what he did," Eric coaxed, trying to force her into making an usation.
If Faye were to use Zev of abuse or wrongdoing, it could destroy Zev''s life.
Kelly, sensing the cold calction in Eric''s voice, felt disgust flood over her. How could a person be so selfish, so willing to manipte even their own child?
Her frustration grew, and she looked at Faye, her voice low but full of venom. "Eric, you''re willing to sacrifice your daughter''s reputation and innocence just to hurt someone else. That''s truly terrifying."
Zev let out a bitterugh, his eyes locked on Faye as he spoke. "There''s security footage showing exactly how this little girl came running to us, crying. I had already notified the local police. You''re using us of kidnapping, Eric? You might want to reconsider your story before you make such a bold im."
Zev couldn''t believe how shameless Eric had be.
Eric narrowed his eyes, ring at Zev, before turning back to Faye. "Faye, don''t be afraid. Tell me who hurt you. Was it him?"
Faye was frozen, the shing cameras making her heart race. She didn''t dare speak a word, trapped under the pressure of the situation.
A police officer, after reviewing the security footage and confirming the earlier call from Zev, spoke, "Th footage from the security camera shows the child arriving here on her own. The police station had alrea received a report about her."
The officer kneeled down in front of Faye, speaking gently, "Kiddo, who did this to you?"
Eric lifted Faye''s sleeve and noticed more bruises on her arms. "Faye, tell me who did this. Was it this man? Did he hurt you? You don''t have to be scared anymore- we''re here to protect you."
Eric pulled Fave close to him. ring at Zev as if expecting an answer. "Even if she came here on her own.

"Don''t be afraid, sweetie," the officer said softly, gesturing for the reporters to stop snapping pictures and keep quiet. He crouched and asked Faye in a calm tone, "Can you tell me who hurt you?"
Faye''s eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head. "It wasn''t Mr. Zev," she whispered.
"It was Stan," she cried, her face contorting with emotion. “Grandma and Stan were trying to take my toy, and Stan shoved me down. Grandma said I''m just a girl, that I don''t matter." She sniffled and her voice wavered as she added, "She even told Aunt Casey and her husband to live with us. She said we''re all going to live together now. I don''t want them in my house. I hate them."
Eric was frozen. Seeing the wound on Faye''s forehead, he spoke again frantically, "Faye, are you too afraid to speak the truth? How could your grandma do this to you? It must be Mr. Zev, right? You''re too scared to tell us, aren''t you?"
Kelly could no longer hold back her anger. "Eric, stop putting words in her mouth. I thought you were terrified of her being hurt or influnced. Who''s the real one causing her pain right now?"
Eric faltered, clearly ufortable, but refused to show any real guilt. After a moment of hesitation, he grabbed Faye in his arms and began to move toward the door.
"You''re just going to leave like this? Your daughter ran away, and we were the ones who took her in. Now you''re turning your back on us? You''re just like the wolf in those old fables, only biting when it suits you," Zev snapped, his anger rising as he gestured to the reporters. "The truth is clear. The police are here, and you all had better sign a statement agreeing not to spread any false information. If you do, we''ll pursue legal action."
Eric red at Zev, refusing to back down. "Don''t pretend like you''re the one in the right. Even if you didn''t hurt my daughter, I''ll never let her be alone with someone like you."
Zev''s voice became steely. "Apologize to my wife, then leave. It''s that simple." Eric nced at Kelly but refused to apologize.
"If you don''t apologize to me and my husband, I will call the police. You entered my home without permission, brought reporters in, invaded our privacy, and spread malicious lies about my husband," Kelly stated firmly, standing protectively in front of Zev. "Eric, apologize to us now, or I''ll make sure you''re all over the headlines tomorrow, whether or not the Commendation Conference happens."
Eric froze, his face a storm of rage and disbelief. His pride was wounded, and for a moment, he didn''t know how to react.
He red at Kelly as if questioning why she was taking Zev''s side.
Kelly stood her ground, unwavering. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Eric clenched his teeth and spoke through his fury. "I''m sorry. I acted out of fear when Faye didn''te home from school. I v scared..."
