Even if Zev insisted on not marrying Clarissa, Wade would never to let Kelly into the Lockhart family.
“Do you really think you can measure up to the Lockharts?” Wade sneered again. “The Lockhart family is powerful and wealthy. Do you think our heir would marry a divorcee with a bad reputation and a scandalous personal life?”
“Mr. Wade, that’s enough…” Ken stepped forward, softly reminding, “You are the elder, no matter what, you ought to exhibit some grace fitting your position.”
Kelly clenched her fists tightly and turned to leave.
“Dr. Yeager, won’t you stay for a meal?” Ken quickly caught up with her.
“Let her go! I’m making myself clear today. As long as you don’t divorce Zev, he will never inherit the Lockhart Group. He won’t get a single brick from the Lockharts! I’ll consider my grandson as good as dead!” Wade’s face was contorted with anger, whether his words were in a fit of rage or serious, they were indeed extreme.
Ken sighed, unsure how to calm the situation.
-Kelly stopped in her tracks, her eyes welling up with tears.
“Dr. Yeager.” Ken continued to follow Kelly, offering to drive her. “It’s a long way back to the hospital. Let me take you.”
“No need.” Kelly avoided Ken. “After causing such a scene with Mr. Wade, if I don’t divorce Zev, he won’t get the inheritance. The one who benefits most from this is you, isn’t it?”
Kelly’s voice was cold.
Ken remained silent.
To outsiders, Ken might be an adopted son and not a Lockhart by name, but he had been managing the Lockhart Group for years.
How could he easily hand over the fruits of his labor to a greenhorn like Zev?
“Walking back will be troublesome.” Ken still instructed the driver to take Kelly.
He stood at the entrance, only returning to the dining room after Kelly had left.
Wade, still fuming, how needed his medication.
“Mr. Wade, treating Kelly like this… aren’t you afraid you might regret it later?” Ken asked quietly.
“Regret? The one who will regret it is Zion! He’s willing to give up the family inheritance for that woman! He even wrote me a letter severing ties! All because of that woman’s instigation!” Wade slammed the table in anger. “Without the Lockharts, with all his injuries from the army, how does he think he’ll support himself?”
Wade’s anger only grew the more he spoke.

“Zion’s letter stated that if you continued to meddle and ruin his marriage with Kelly, he would rather leave the Lockharts with nothing than divorce her. How could you…” Ken sighed.
Wade’s obstinate nature meant he probably wouldn’t listen.
Wade snorted, shifting all the blame onto Kelly. “Enough, you can leave now.”
Ken wanted to say more but simply sighed and turned way.
At the kindergarten, Caden drove Zev and Connor to pick up Faye.
“Isn’t this girl Kelly’s ex–husband and his mistress’s daughter? You’ve got a big heart, like a saint.” Caden looked at Zev in confusion. “This isn’t like you.”
“You don’t understand,” Zev raised an eyebrow. “This is my indirect way of neutralizing a threat.”
Caden’s mouth twitched. “Neutralizing a threat by raising his daughter?”
“Think bigger,” Zev said, holding his left arm, sweat forming on his forehead from the pain.
“Your arm shouldn’t be lifting anything heavy. Unless you want it useless,” Caden scolded. “Maniac.”
Zev didn’t respond, leaning back in the seat for a moment to gather his strength.
“Regina is trouble. She’s pregnant and unstable, adding enough strain on Eric already. By letting Kelly temporarily take care of Faye, it will create more friction between Regina and Eric. Regina isn’t stupid; she’ll see through Eric’s ploy to use Faye to keep Kelly around. I’m making them turn on each other,” Zev said quietly.
Caden was astonished and gave Zev a thumbs up. “Who would’ve thought … If this were in some ancient place drama, you’d at least be a high–ranking consort.”
“Please, I’m the Empress,” Zev retorted, not pleased with Caden’s choice of rank.
Caden was speechless. “Men in love… terrifying.”
“School’s out,” Zev said as he got out of the car, intending to pick up Faye, only to see her being shoved down by a little boy.
At home, Faye might be a handful, but outside she was timid, reduced to sitting on the ground crying.
“Why did you hit her?” Zev frowned at the boy who hit her.
“She doesn’t help my mom and grandma. She deserves it,” the chunky little boy huffed.
Zev understood. This must be Stan.
“Get out of my house. I don’t like you,” Faye cried, hiding behind Zev.
“Hmph, that’s my grandma’s house. I’ll stay as long as I like. Your toys are mine too,” Stan said smugly.
A taxi stopped, and Kelly got out, just in time to see Stam bullying Faye.

She was about to intervene when she saw Regina, looking worse for wear, rushing over to grab Faye, yelling at Eric. “She’s my daughter! How could you give her to Kelly? You just want to use her to stay connected with Kelly!”
Regina then turned to Kelly, shouting, “You shameless woman!”
Kelly frowned, noticing Regina’s erratic state, signaling Zev to keep his distance.
Zev immediately took a big step back, watching as Eric came over.
“Regina, stop making a scene!”
“Mommy, it hurts…” Faye cried, frightened as Regina’s grip tightened.
“Faye, come home with me. I won’t let my daughter stay with that wicked woman. Kelly … you just want to take everything from me!” Regina screamed. Suddenly, bright red blood trickling down her leg.
Regina froze, looking down, clutching her stomach.
