At the Lockhart Residence, Wade sat in his chair, his eyes fixed on the news report, his expression darkening with every passing moment. "Tell the PR department to bury any information about Shane. If any media outlet dares to run a story on it, send them a cease-and-desist letter!"

"Yes, sir."

The new assistant, although quick to act, appeared nervous. His eyes darted around the room before he spoke in a hushed voice, "Mr. Wade... what should we do about Mr. Morris?"

"Tell him to come to my office! And bring Zion here immediately!" Wade's voice was filled with unmistakable fury.

He had given Ken strict orders to not involve the kid, but today, Ken had openly revealed Shane's background and true identity to the press.

Ken, who was always so calm and collected, would never make such a rookie mistake out of sheer impulse.

No, Ken had deliberately chosen to take the blame. He was willing to carry the burden, to help Zion navigate this mess as quickly as possible, so Zion could seize control sooner.

"Mr. Wade..." Ken's voice broke the silence as he entered the study.

Slap! Wade's hand connected with Ken's face in a sharp, resounding slap.

Ken remained still, his face unreadable. He stood tall, his gaze lowered but his posture defiant.

Every part of Ken seemed to communicate to Wade that he had no regrets about his actions.

"I know what you're thinking!" Wade snapped, his voice thick with anger. "Shane is innocent. By doing this, you're ensuring he'll never be able to hold his head up high, that he'll be the target of ridicule and gossip for the rest of his life."

"He's innocent, yes. But there are too many innocent people in the world. Too many who didn't deserve to die!" Ken's voice quivered, his emotions spilling over. His eyes were red as he stared at Wade. "People are driven by their emotions. We form connections, and Shane's mother put so much pressure on me. I had no choice. If anyone has to take the blame, it should be me... Zion had no idea what I was planning."

Wade stood motionless, his fingers trembling with frustration.
