Zev had been taken into an interrogation room, while a female officer crouched beside Faye, speaking to her in a soothing tone.

Perched on a worn-out bench, Faye hesitantly described what had allegedly happened to her, her small voice breaking at times.

Kelly, who had been with Zev the entire time, immediately intervened. "Zev was never alone with her."

A lawyer-one Kelly instantly recognized as being affiliated with Clarissa-gave her

Kelly wasn't surprised. She had suspected all along that Eric's real goal was to use Zev as leverage against her.

And sure enough, he got straight to the point.

"If you have something to say, say it here. I'm not going anywhere with you."
