Kelly wore arge bandage on her forehead, faintly stained with blood. Herplexion pale and her eyes were rimmed with redness.
The bandage was Melody''s idea, suggesting it would make Kelly appear more sympathetic.
As they moved through the reporters and onlookers, Kelly gently supported a journalist who was about to fall, her voice soothing. "Are you alright?"
For a woman, beauty could be a weapon, and there was no shame in that.
The reporter, taken aback by Kelly''s kindness and appearance, quickly nodded. "Thank you...”
Journalists were used to being ignored, especially by someone as striking as Kelly. With her injured forehead, she looked both beautiful and vulnerable.
"I apologize, everyone. I''m Kelly Yeager, Zev Lockhart''s wife." Kelly''s presence was immediately disarming, making people feel at ease.
"Mrs. Lockhart, why did Mr. Lockhart hit Mr. Lynch? Was it because of you?" "Mrs. Lockhart, can you exin?"
"The PR department will provide a statement," a PR representative interjected, shielding Kelly and speaking firmly.
"It''s alright," Kelly said quickly, raising her hand to touch her forehead, further winning public sympathy.
This was a trick Kelly had learned from observing rissa. Life is a drama, and acting skills are crucial.
"Beau Lynch was once the director of Seaville Hospital. During his tenure, he embezzled and epted bribes, using his position to exploit and harass medical staff. This led to a nurse dying of heart failure at her desk due to forced overtime and a young female doctormitting suicide by jumping from the hospital''s administrative building. His mistakes resulted in our peacekeeping medical team''s five-year hostage ordeal...
it''s never just thest Kelly''s smile was bitter. "You ask why Zev lost control and hit him. I can only say straw that breaks the camel''s back. Zev is a passionate man who has held back for a long time."
Kelly nced at rissa, who was rushing out of the police station. rissa seemed to realize what Kelly was about to reveal.
Kelly smirked and faced the reporters again. "Everyone is aware of the recent Beluga Club incident, and the Lynches are implicated. It''s well known Beau bribed witnesses, used his status to force his way into the inpatient department to intimidate a witness, and even assaulted me."
"This Beau is a protector of criminals, a mobster! He deserved that beating!" "Zev did nothing wrong; Beau deserved it."

The crowd shouted angrily, their rage stoked by Kelly''s calcted words, likely causing a media frenzy.
rissa''s face darkened, but she was relieved that Kelly hadn''t mentioned her involvement with the Beluga Club.
She still didn''t understand why Kelly refrained, but she quickly stepped forward. "Kelly, we need to talk."
Kelly ignored rissa, heading towards the police station.
In the mediation room, Beau spoke in a low voice. "Zev, continuing this won''t benefit you. You''ve just taken over Lockhart Group...

"Do you know why I have the confidence to sit here and waste time with you?" Zev sneered.
"It''s because no matter what happens to me, I''m confident my wife can hold everything together and secure the home." Zev raised an eyebrow, speaking proudly. "But your daughter, she''ll drag you out as a scapegoat at the crucial moment. She''s clearly already given up on you as her father..."
Zev was deliberately sowing discord, and Kelly''s omission of rissa and the Beluga Club was likewise meant create division.
Reporters would associate the me with Beau, and a desperate rissa would have to plead with Beau to protect her.
This was the unspoken harmony between husband and wife.
Beau''s face twisted with realization. Combined with what Regina had previously said and his own knowledge of rissa, he knew this daughter couldn''t be always relied upon to act in mutual interest.
Just as Beau was about to speak, Kelly entered with the legal team.
"Mr. Lynch, are you certain you want to press charges against Mr. Zion? You should understand that your external injuries don''t definitively prove that Mr. Zion caused them, nor do they meet the standard for a criminal case. Even if you insist, the most that could happen is..."
Thewyer didn''t finish before Beau interrupted. "If Zev apologizes publicly and admits his mistake, we can let this go. After all, Shane''s father and I are family." Beau was clearly scared now.
But rissa was in a bind. If she retreated, Kelly and Zev would seize the opportunity to crush her. If she pressed forward, they would fight her to the bitter end!
"Beau, have you still not understood the situation yet?" Kelly''s coldughter was harsh. "Whether to press charges isn''t your decision, it''s up to your daughter." Beau looked at rissa, who had just entered.
rissa''s face was grim. Her trump card was Shane, but it wasn''t the right time to y it. She had to resort to using Stuart as a mediator.
Stuart was apany veteran who had been with Wade since the beginning, and Zev wouldn''t dare ignore
him.
"Zev, don''t rush. Let''s sort this out one step at a time," rissa said, sitting down and deliberately stalling.

She had already sent Caleb to find Stuart.
Kelly smirked, realizing that rissa was seeking backup.
Zev raised an eyebrow at Kelly, signaling that everything was going ording to
