    Regina, unfazed by the wine dripping from her face, rushed to help Eric up. "Zev, who do you think you are to attack someone like that?"


    Zev''s voice was calm but carried a sharp warning. "Because you don''t know when to keep quiet.


    Regina opened her mouth to argue, but rissa quickly stopped her.


    Taking a step forward, rissa spoke in a gentle, pleading voice. "Zion, I''ve never wronged you. The child was born because your grandfather insisted. I never expected you to take responsibility. The baby is innocent. Do you really have to do this? This is a hospital banquet, with so many people watching, Must you humiliate me like this at every turn?"


    Zev''s grip tightened around Kelly''s hand. "ying the victim now, are you? When you were using my family''s name to torment my wife, where was all this helplessness?"


    His gaze swept over the silent crowd. "Listen carefully, everyone. I have only one wife, and that is Kelly. As for rissa, who''s been going around deceiving people under the Lockharts'' name, I have nothing to do with her."


    At the entrance, Melody and Darren rushed in, feeling relieved to see Zev standing up for Kelly.


    Kelly remained silent the entire time, yet Zev had given her all the security and respect she needed.


    rissa clenched her fists, eyes reddening with anger. "Zion, don''t go too far."


    Zev shot back, "The one crossing the line here is you. Before ming others, reflect on your own actions."


    The murmurs in the crowd grew louder. "Wait, rissa isn''t actually the wife of the Lockhart Group''s heir?"


    "Kelly is married? Wow, she really hit the jackpot. She''s now the heir to the wealthiest family in Seaville."


    "Why is rissa going around using the Lockharts'' name?"


    Whispers spread through the crowd, each remark further crushing rissa''s reputation under Zev''s heel.


    rissa stepped forward, her eyes cold with resentment. "Zion, Kelly, you''ll both regret this," she warned.


    Kellyced her fingers with Zev''s and calmly responded, "What a coincidence. This time, we''ve returned for the same reason as you."


    If they had returned, they weren''t going to back down.


    The Lynches would face the consequences it deserved.


    rissa let out a smirk. "Fine. Let''s see who wins in the end."


    Her gazended on Zev, full of disdain. "A spoiled rich boy like you? Sure, maybe you''re useful in a terrorist group, but running Lockhart Group? Beating me in the corporate world? You don''t stand a chance."

    involved in thepany''s affairs. Even if he returned to take over, what real influence did he have? In her eyes, he was just another privileged heir riding on his family''s name.


    Without genuine support from others, he is insignificant.


    A man so impulsive that he disregards his own family''s wealth is nothing more than a carefree troublemaker.


    Kelly fixed her gaze on rissa.


    Given the current influence of the Lynches, there is absolutely no reason for the Lockharts to feel threatened. rissa should be wary of upsetting Zev, yet she has the audacity to mock him directly.


    Where does rissa get such boldness? Could it be Mr. Wade? But Mr. Wade is Zev''s grandfather and has always stood by him in crucial situations.


    That means her confidence definitely doesn''t stem from Mr. Wade.


    Is there another person at the Lockharts secretly working with rissa? Could it be Ken?


    "Kelly, you actually married the heir of Lockhart Group?"


    "Kelly, you''re truly impressive."


    Right after rissa left, someone hurried over to greet Kelly. People will always


    be drawn to power, there''s no doubt about that.


    Without responding, Kelly simply took Zev with her and left.


    Still fuming after being kicked, Eric red at Zev and shoved Regina aside. "From now on, stay away from that lunatic."


    Eric was referring to Zev, whom he viewed aspletely unhinged.


    "How are Zev and Kelly still alive?" Regina snapped furiously. "Now that he''s returned, it''s clear he has no intention of marrying rissa. If she doesn''t be part of the Lockharts, what will happen to us?"


    Regina feared that without rissa marrying into a wealthy household, the Lynches'' status would be in jeopardy.


    After a brief silence, Eric finally spoke. "We''ve invested everything we own into the Lynch Group. My future is directly linked to the Lynches, which means, rissa, you have no choice but to marry into the Lockharts."


    "So what are we supposed to do now?" Regina asked, her voice filled with worry.


    "Kelly can''t possibly havepletely erased me from her heart. She only married Zev to get back at me. Besides, Zev will never fully trust Kelly. I''ll figure out a way to drive a wedge between them." Fric scowled, clutching his stomach in difort. That scoundrel Zev had yed dirty.


    Regina''s expression darkened. "You''re not just using this as an excuse to rekindle things with Kelly, are you?"


    "When will you finally start thinking more clearly? If you had even a fraction of rissa''s intelligence, you wouldn''t be in this situation,” Eric snapped. “I''ve already told you, my future is tied to your family. Even if I
