Chapter 313 Thea Is Spoiled by the Brooks
Seaville Hospital.
Zev used dropping off Kelly as an excuse to check on Thea.

He had no desire to be here, but since he was now leading the Lockhart Group, making enemies wasn’t an option.
By the time he reached the inpatient department, Thea had already been admitted.
“We all know Thea’s condition–she’s prone to depression. Her family practically pampers her, scared that a music career was too stressful, so they pushed her into film industry instead. Her brother dotes on her endlessly, making sure nothing ever happens to her.”
The manager sighed and glanced at Vincent Brooks, who was rushing over anxiously. He was Thea’s elder brother, a major player in the business world. Everyone in the industry knew him.
With his backing, Thea had a smooth ride in the entertainment industry–no conflicts, no obstacles, and no one daring to cross her.
“Mr. Brooks, I apologize. It’s my fault. I wasn’t keeping an eye on Thea. She…” the manager said nervously, though she couldn’t bring herself to fully admit the mistake. “Thea posted on Twitter, and it seemed fine to me, but somehow it upset Kelly. She’s relying on the Lockharts and Zev’s influence—”
“She can’t count on the Lockharts‘ power. If she messed up, the Lockharts won’t back her up,” Wade said, stepping out of the elevator. He spoke curtly to his assistant, “Call Zion. Tell him to get over here with Kelly -she needs to apologize!”
The assistant hesitated, unsure, but then went to make the call.
Vincent quickly approached to support Wade, his face serious. “Zion has gone too far this time. How could he let Kelly provoke Thea like that? You know how good Thea is to Zion.”
Wade nodded. “I also like Thea.”
Meanwhile, in the ward, Thea was still crying, her eyes swollen as she knocked things off the table. “Why di you all save me? Just let me die!”
She was acting like a spoiled princess.
“Thea! Stop that nonsense!” Vincent said sharply, trying to calm her down. “Your health is more important than anything. Don’t forget your promise to me.”
Through her tears, Thea complained, “I just posted on Twitter to reminisce about my past. How could Kelly comment like that under my post? Who does she think she is?”
Vincent frowned, a bit upset himself. “This isn’t your fault. It’s Kelly’s. I’ll talk to Zion and make sure he deals with this.”
The manager spoke nervously, “But … Mr. Zion seems to be quite protective of Kelly.”
“He better not be!” Vincent replied sharply, glancing at Wade cautiously.

Thea snorted. “What’s the point of her apologizing?”
She wanted Zev to divorce Kelly and marry her instead.

Vincent sighed, turning to Wade, “Kelly has no real background or ability. She’s just a doctor–she can’t offer Zion anything he needs. He needs connections and support.”
Wade’s face soured. “I’m getting too old to deal with those young people.
“It’s not a huge deal yet. Zion just needs some tough lessons. After some setbacks, he’ll understand what’s truly important,” Vincent said dismissively, thinking that all the lovey–dovey wás immature. Marriage should be about weighing benefits.
“Vincent, stop criticizing Zion like that.” Thea sobbed, defending Zev.
Vincent was about to comfort her when there was a knock at the door.
Zev leaned against the doorframe, knocking deliberately. “What’s going on? Why all the drama?”
Thea’s eyes lit up when she saw him.
Vincent noticed how lovesick his sister was, but he couldn’t change it. They had spoiled her for years, and whatever she wanted, the family made it happen.
“Zion…” Thea cried as she wiped her eyes. “Did you see Twitter? Look at what Kelly said.”
“My wife meant no harm. I thought she was being considerate. She even asked if she should delete the tweet, but I told her not to. If she deleted it, it would look like the Brooks were pressuring her, and that would be worse for you,” Zev explained, having already made his judgment.
Vincent’s expression darkened. “Are you going to disregard our relationship just to protect her?”
“Vincent, I’m here because of our relationship. Your sister’s behavior needs to be addressed. She’s attempted suicide multiple times because of her stubbornness. Who would want to marry someone like that? If she were brought into a marriage, it’d just be constant suicide threats. It’s terrifying to think about.”
Zev sneered, looking disgusted.
Wade slammed the table in anger. “Zion! Watch what you say!”
On the bed, Thea burst into tears again. “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have … ‘
“Zion!” Vincent also shouted angrily.
Zev’s face remained expressionless. “You’re not helping her. It’s not care but indulgence. Keep spoiling her, and one day, she might do something extreme. By then, you won’t have anyone to blame.”
Zev was annoyed, feeling that he had already shown respect by coming here.
“Zion, I heard Shawn is coming back and might take over the Wagners!” Vincent said, now directly threatening Zev.
If Zev didn’t comply, the Brooks would back Shawn, and in the end, the Lockharts would be the ones to suffer.
