Chapter 383 Deserves a Beating


    At Lockhart Group.


    Kelly took a break to bring lunch to Zev.


    "Mrs. Kelly..." The receptionist no longer tried to stop Kelly but looked at her uneasily.


    "What''s wrong? Did something happen?" Kelly asked.


    The receptionist nced around and whispered, "Mr. Zion was taken away by the police."


    Kelly furrowed her brows. Was rissa really this self-destructive? That wasn''t


    like her ....


    "Who knows about this?" Kelly asked quietly.

    The receptionist whispered back, "Ms. rissa called the police at a time when everyone could see."


    “Put out a statement: Mr. Zion is assisting police in their investigation into the assault on the doctor and yesterday''s witness intimidation case," Kelly instructed, then moved to a corner to call Oscar.


    "Oscar, Zev hit Beau yesterday. rissa called the cops," Kelly reported calmly. "Beau''s actions yesterday are enough for a criminal case."


    Darren had recorded everything; Beau was clearly involved with shady dealings at the club. She intended to expose it all to the media.


    "Zev knows how to handle himself. rissa''s goal is to tarnish his reputation," Oscar reassured Kelly.


    "I''m aware," Kelly said, her eyes darkening. If rissa wanted to ruin Zev''s reputation, she would ruin the Lynches'' reputation even worse. Let''s see who loses more.


    "rissa actually called the cops? Even Beau wouldn''t have dared," Oscar remarked, a bit surprised.


    "I suspect Shawn''s involvement," Kelly responded. rissa and Beau were too selfish to sabotage themselves -unless someone else was pulling the strings.


    And only someone like Shawn could manipte rissa to willingly go along with it.


    After all, rissa had shown a significant interest in Shawn back at the charity event.


    "Shawn has been in Seaville the whole time," Oscar confirmed, his voice lowering. "Last night, he had dinner at my dad''s ce. Came in at 7:33 P.M."


    Kelly was now almost certain it had been Shawn and rissa who secretly filmed Zev hitting Beau.


    After hanging up, Kelly went to find Ken.


    "Online videos about Zev beating someone are everywhere; someone''s deliberately trying to ruin him," Kelly exined. She wanted Ken''s help since Lockhart Group''s PR department was under his control.


    Ken frowned, appearing annoyed. "You knew it was a setup, and he still lost control?"


    Kelly remained silent, not offering any excuses.


    Zev''s actions, while reckless, weren''t entirely bad. At this stage, public perception wasn''t their main concern.

    "I''ll get our team to suppress the trending topic and take down the videos," Ken said, preparing to instruct the PR team.


    "No, don''t suppress the trending topic," Kelly shook her head, handing Ken a video and audio recording. "Suppressing the topic makes us look guilty. We need


    to prove that even if we did strike someone, we were in the right."


    Ken looked at Kelly with interest. "You mean..."

    "We''ll use their smear campaign to turn it around for Lockhart Group. After all, if they''re willing to spend money to defame us," Kelly gestured to the evidence, "we can use it to highlight Beau''s other misdeeds over the years-collected by Darren and Melody-during Beau''s tenure as hospital director. Nurses who were driven to breakdowns, doctors who were bullied, all willing to testify."


    Kelly continued, "We just need to promote Zev''s image as a just and loving husband. His impulsive actions can then be a lovable trait.”


    When someone is seen as standing for justice, even their impulsiveness can be seen as endearing.


    Ken nodded in understanding. "Got it."


    He looked at Kelly once more, appreciating her intelligence and meticulous


    nature. Knowing Kelly was by Zev''s side gave him peace of mind.


    "Thank you, Mr. Morris," Kelly said politely.


    Ken said nothing, but something in his expression dimmed. No matter how much


    he helped, Kelly and Zev always kept him at arm''s length.


    Police station.


    Zev sat in the mediation room, watching as a bruised Beau was wheeled in by rissa.


    "The Oscar owes you an award," Zev scoffed.


    rissa red at Zev. "It''s illegal to assault someone. It''s only fair you pay for it."


    Beau, meanwhile, seemed less confident. If it were up to him, he wouldn''t have called the police.


    He felt guilty, knowing that after his previous dismissals and now attacking Kelly, he had anticipated Zev''s retaliation and had hoped to avoid it.


    "I''ll ept the punishment. Fines, a 24-hour lockup-I''m okay with that. But don''t youe to regret it," Zev said evenly.


    Beau nced at rissa, silently asking why she would provoke Zev further. Zev and Kelly were both fiery and relentless...


    rissa pressed on, despite her own doubts. "Zev, hurting someone to this extent


    is going to hurt you, too. Let''s see how it ys out."


    This was her initiation gift to Shawn, and she had to see it through no matter what.


    "Zev stood up for what''s right!"

    "Exactly! That scumbag deserved a beating!"


    Outside, chaos erupted. Families of Beau''s victims swarmed the station, cameras


    shing, voices raised- demanding justice.
