"If there's nothing else, I'll be heading out." Kelly checked the time before turning to leave. "It's lunchtime, so I won't hold you up."

Thea glared at Kelly for a long moment, her face flushed with frustration, yet she couldn't get a single word

out.

"You-" Vincent was just as stunned, momentarily speechless. He couldn't understand why his warning had no effect. "Aren't you worried about making things difficult for Zion in the circle?"

"I'm a doctor. My only concern is treating patients. As for the so-called circle you mentioned, I neither understand nor care about it. If Zion has the guts to take over Lockhart Group, then he has what it takes to run it.”

Kelly shifted her gaze to Vincent. "In infectious disease research, we know that when a host carries a powerful virus capable of long-term coexistence, other viruses struggle to infect it."

Vincent frowned, clearly not following her point..

"Even viruses understand the importance of symbiosis. Surely, a wealthy family like yours does, too. If you're trying to use the Lockharts to pressure me, it won't work. Right now, the cost of open conflict between the Brooks and Lockhart Group is simply too high."

She then turned to Thea and continued, "Zion is short-tempered, headstrong, and reckless. If you provoke him, he won't hold back. Given the Lockharts' resources, I'd say the Brooks would be the first to fall. With the wealth and connections Sylvester left him, along with the Hardisons' support, Zion isn't going to lose this battle."

Vincent stiffened, staring at Kelly in shock.

Once the attention dies down, it'll all blow over. We can't afford to start a full-on feud with the Lockharts. We'll take it one step at a time." Vincent had no intention of completely breaking ties. He would proceed carefully and teach Zion, the inexperienced rookie, a
