“Ms. Kelly, we’ve been informed that the donation you made to the research institute is considered joint property between you and Mr. Eric. Is that accurate? You’re accused of using Mr. Eric’s daughter to take money from him and donate it, and now you’re allegedly threatening to take his daughter as well. Can you confirm this?”
The reporters pressed in, their cameras flashing relentlessly, demanding answers.
Zev moved forward, positioning himself between Kelly and the reporters, pulling her closer with a protective stance. “You’re filming in our home without permission. This is an invasion of our privacy. I could take legal action for this.”
The reporters exchanged uneasy glances but remained silent.
Eric, enraged, pointed directly at Zev. “This man is a smuggler and a terrorist! He’s kidnapped my daughter! Just look at the injuries on her face! I believe he’s been abusing children! He should be arrested immediately!”
He turned toward Faye, who was standing stiffly, visibly shaken and frightened.
“Faye, tell the police and me what he did to you. Don’t be scared. Tell us exactly what he did,” Eric coaxed, trying to force her into making an accusation.
If Faye were to accuse Zev of abuse or wrongdoing, it could destroy Zev’s life.
Kelly, sensing the cold calculation in Eric’s voice, felt disgust flood over her. How could a person be so selfish, so willing to manipulate even their own child?
Her frustration grew, and she looked at Faye, her voice low but full of venom. “Eric, you’re willing to sacrifice your daughter’s reputation and innocence just to hurt someone else. That’s truly terrifying.”
Zev let out a bitter laugh, his eyes locked on Faye as he spoke. “There’s security footage showing exactly how this little girl came running to us, crying. I had already notified the local police. You’re accusing us of kidnapping, Eric? You might want to reconsider your story before you make such a bold claim.”
Zev couldn’t believe how shameless Eric had become.
Eric narrowed his eyes, glaring at Zev, before turning back to Faye. “Faye, don’t be afraid. Tell me who hurt you. Was it him?”
Faye was frozen, the flashing cameras making her heart race. She didn’t dare speak a word, trapped under the pressure of the situation.
A police officer, after reviewing the security footage and confirming the earlier call from Zev, spoke, “Th footage from the security camera shows the child arriving here on her own. The police station had alrea received a report about her.”
The officer kneeled down in front of Faye, speaking gently, “Kiddo, who did this to you?”
Eric lifted Faye’s sleeve and noticed more bruises on her arms. “Faye, tell me who did this. Was it this man? Did he hurt you? You don’t have to be scared anymore–we’re here to protect you.”
Eric pulled Fave close to him. glaring at Zev as if expecting an answer. “Even if she came here on her own.

“Don’t be afraid, sweetie,” the officer said softly, gesturing for the reporters to stop snapping pictures and keep quiet. He crouched and asked Faye in a calm tone, “Can you tell me who hurt you?”
Faye’s eyes welled up with tears as she shook her head. “It wasn’t Mr. Zev,” she whispered.
“It was Stan,” she cried, her face contorting with emotion. “Grandma and Stan were trying to take my toy, and Stan shoved me down. Grandma said I’m just a girl, that I don’t matter.” She sniffled and her voice wavered as she added, “She even told Aunt Casey and her husband to live with us. She said we’re all going to live together now. I don’t want them in my house. I hate them.”
Eric was frozen. Seeing the wound on Faye’s forehead, he spoke again frantically, “Faye, are you too afraid to speak the truth? How could your grandma do this to you? It must be Mr. Zev, right? You’re too scared to tell us, aren’t you?”
Kelly could no longer hold back her anger. “Eric, stop putting words in her mouth. I thought you were terrified of her being hurt or influnced. Who’s the real one causing her pain right now?”
