Zev gave Ken a cold stare. "If my dad were here, you would be afraid."

Ken paused, then smiled and stood up. "You handled yourself well this time- better than I expected. You kept your power in check and struck back at the right moment. But don't rush for too much too soon."

He turned to Kelly. "Kelly is more composed than you. You should listen to her when you're facing challenges."

Kelly met his gaze but said nothing.

"Clarissa has been in the Lockhart Group for over two years, gaining influence in many departments. Winning over Maggie was a smart move. You need to fix this fast and eliminate any risks."

Ken gave one last piece of advice, though it seemed he had more to say. But knowing Zev didn't want to hear it, he walked out.

Kelly stared after him, confused. What truly happened back then? How did Ken survive and choose not to defend himself when everyone misunderstood him? Why did only Wade trust him, keeping him around and even offering him shares? If Ken was truly a threat, why would Wade invite trouble to the Lockharts? Wade's approach was different from Zev's, but he wasn't naive.

In the past, when rumors spread about Ken colluding with kidnappers to betray Sylvester, did Wade never question him? Even Gary thought Ken had some issues.

"Move, you're heavy." Kelly felt uncomfortable with his weight pressing against her and gently tried to push him away.

"No..." Zev stayed close, holding onto her tightly, not wanting her to escape.

Kelly laughed, linking their fingers together. "Let's go home. Jasper and Shane are waiting. It's Shane's birthday
