The supervisor gave Zev a once-over. "This entire IF Square is owned by the Lockharts. Ms. Lynch's sister is our boss. If she says you can't come in, then you're not welcome here."

“Huh? Isn't a mall supposed to be for customers? Are these even real rules" Zev retorted sharply.

Kelly gripped Zev's arm, worried he might lose his temper. "If we knew IF was owned by the Lockharts, we wouldn't have come. Let's just leave."

As they turned to go, Eric could not resist one last jab. "You know, almost every business district in Seaville is under the Lockharts' control. Even the apps you use to hail a cab or make payments are run by them. Unless you plan on leaving Scaville or giving up on a normal life, you're stuck under their thumb.”

Zev paused, then turned back to Eric with a cold glare. “That's their business. What's it to you? Have you lost your mind?"

"Didn't you hear? My sister runs the Lockhart Group," Regina chimed in arrogantly. "Now get out, I'm offering you an easy way out."

Eric's eyes shifted to Kelly. "This is the reality, Kelly. You can't fight the power of capital. I've told you before, he can't protect you, nor can he provide the life you want."

Kelly squeezed Zev's hand. "The life we want is something you could never understand."

Eric scoffed. "A life without money is bound to end in disaster. He convinced you to donate all your money, thinking it was for the best. What makes him so special? Nobody is immune to the allure of money and perks. Zev just wants to control you because he knows you won't spend the money on him. He has you donate it all, so you're both left with nothing, making it easier for him to control you."

Eric believed Kelly was naive, and he patiently awaited the day she would come to her senses.

Zev looked at Eric, genuinely baffled by his logic.
