Eric left the station with Faye while keeping a tight grip on her, making it clear to everyone that he was intent on keeping her away from anyone who might ask questions. His goal was obvious: to frame Zev.

Children’s testimonies were often viewed as truthful since people generally assume they wouldn’t lie. No one suspected that this young girl was being manipulated by her own parents.

Kelly sat uncasily on a long bench at the police station, her nerves frayed as she braced herself for the questioning ahead. She couldn’t help but worry whether Zev would be able to prove his innocence in the face of such manipulation.

“Go home, Kelly. Zev has me here with him,” Gary suggested when he arrived, a lawyer by his side.

Kelly remained stiff, her hands clenched into fists as she sat. Her eyes were red, filled with emotion as she looked up at Gary. “Am I the one always causing trouble for him?”

Gary’s face softened slightly, but his tone remained firm. “What do you mean, you causing trouble? This is his doing. If he chose to marry you, he should have known what came with it. A man has to be prepared for what’s ahead, take responsibility, and face whatever challenges come his way.

“Besides, I told him to think properly the day you two got married. When you are husband and wife, he’ll have to take on the responsibilities as your spouse.”

He sat beside her, his expression serious yet calm. “Life is full of hardships. Some say misfortune always finds the most vulnerable, but the road you walk is yours to choose. Complaining and blaming won’t help- it’ll only make things worse.”

Kelly sniffled, trying to hold back her tears. Gary’s son, Connor, had once mentioned that Gary had psychological issues, but to Kelly, he seemed perfectly clear–headed and reasonable.

“Go home and get ready, Kelly. The more Beau dreads you showing up at the Commendation Conference, the more important your presence becomes.” Gary said, encouraging her to leave. But Kelly shook her head firmly.

“I want to wait for Zev.”

Somewhere along the way, she had started to rely on him more than she ever thought she would.

“Ms. Yeager?” A lawyer appeared from the back, offering a reassuring smile. “Don’t worry. It’s not as serious as it seems.”

Kelly’s eyes filled with tears at his words.

It might not seem like a huge deal, but to a man, being accused of something like this was more than just a charge–it was a deep humiliation that would scar his reputation forever. Even if Zev were clea , the psychological toll would linger, and the rumors that would follow could destroy him. Besides, there were countless press reporting about this. Even if they didn’t manage to take photos of his face, he might not be able to survive the backlash if things got out of hand.

“Mr. Lockhart wants me to reassure you that he has everything under control. Don’t worry about the Commendation Conference. Speak your mind and don’t let anyone intimidate you. He’ll be there after the conference to take you home,” the lawyer said, his tone sincere and calm.

“Mr. Lockhart isn’t naive. He knows exactly how to clear his name, the lawyer responded, handing her Zev’s phone. “The police have already checked it, and there’s nothing to worry about. He said you should keep his phone. You might find an important video inside.”

Kelly froze, a memory flashing back to a conversation she had recorded when she first returned to Seaville -the one where Regina and Beau had been talking. Although Eric had deleted the video from her phone, Zev had kept a backup.

“Mr. Lockhart said it’s time to fight back.”

Kelly’s grip tightened around the phone.

“He’s right…”

The more Eric used fear to try to control her, the more determined she became to stand firm. If Zev hadn’t done anything wrong, then backing down would only make her appear guilty.

“I won’t back down on something he didn’t do,” Kelly said, her voice calm and unwavering.
