Chapter 319 Zev Stands by Kelly

Clarissa's expression instantly darkened, furious at Kelly's words. "You're spouting nonsense!"

She glanced nervously around the conference room. "Don't listen to her nonsense!"

Kelly scoffed, then strode over to Zev's seat. With a commanding presence, she pulled Clarissa's chair toward her and sat down. "Clarissa, as the manager of the project department, you're responsible for its poor performance. Mr. Zion has been kind enough not to hold you accountable, yet you still insist on stirring up trouble."

"Kelly, who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak here?" Clarissa slammed the table, her voice seething with anger.

Kelly chuckled. "I'm the CEO's wife. You've been using that status to act high and mighty for years. Now that I'm using it openly, why are you panicking?"

She raised an eyebrow at Clarissa. "I heard you paid a visit to Thea in the hospital, trying to escalate tensions and cut off the Brooks' investment, deliberately pushing Lockhart Group into crisis."

Clarissa's allies, clearly unsettled, quickly spoke up. "Mr. Zion, your wife has no official position in the company. You should ask her to step aside."

The room grew tense as everyone exchanged looks. Ken's people, in particular, seemed displeased.

Zev cleared his throat, resisting the urge to applaud Kelly.

With a faint smile, he said, "I own 25% of Lockhart Group's shares under my father's name. When I got married, I gave them to my wife as a wedding gift. That makes her a major shareholder. And in our household, my wife has the final say- her authority even outweighs mine."

As his words settled over the room, shock rippled through the crowd.
