Stuart was clearly irritated. "Zion, remember I'm your elder, the one who stood by your grandfather and helped build the Lockhart Group from the ground up. Without me, there wouldn't be a Lockhart Group as you know it today. My words carry weight.".

Stuart was resorting to threats, given that Zev wasn't behaving as he wanted.

Using Kelly as a shield was beyond the pale.

Zev didn't indulge Stuart. Instead, he carried on with his act of being an incompetent figurehead.

"In our home, my wife truly calls the shots," Zev said timidly, glancing cautiously at Kelly.

"Sorry, but up until now, I've only heard Mr. Wade mention Ken. He instructed us to consult Ken whenever problems arise. As for you, aren't you just another employee?" Kelly said innocently, though it was a calculated provocation. "Ken also told us not to interfere with Lockhart Group, saying he's the one in charge.” Kelly's attempt to sow discord was blatant and unrefined.

But someone like Stuart would only get angrier at such provocations.

Sure enough, Stuart's face darkened as he spoke. "Zion, no matter what, the company's reputation must not be compromised. This stops here. Everyone needs to return to their posts immediately."

With that, Stuart ordered the legal and PR teams to head back.

"This time, we won't give an inch," Kelly said firmly to Clarissa.

If this situation didn't get resolved quickly, it might implicate her directly.

"Zion!" Stuart shouted, exasperation clear in his voice.
