Kelly looked at Regina and smiled. “So arrogant. Do you think the world belongs to the Lynches?”

“I can’t speak for others, but you, Kelly–no parents, no family, no one to rely on. What are you, really?” Regina sneered, sitting arrogantly next to Beau.

“Did Eric not tell you? I have a husband. He’ll come pick me up when the awards ceremony is over,” Kelly said calmly.

“Huh?” Regina laughed. “That little punk? That worthless nobody? Kelly, you’re really pathetic. Are you so desperate to prove you’re not unwanted that you’d just marry some random guy? You’re beyond hope.

“He won’t come for you,” Eric interrupted before Kelly could respond. “Kelly, he’s been accused of child molestation. It’s a serious crime. You need to understand that.”

Eric lowered his voice, continuing to threaten her. “If you can’t keep your mouth shut, don’t blame me for making things worse for him. Once he’s in prison, he won’t have an easy time. I’ll make sure of it.”

Kelly stared at Eric, listening to his threats. “He said he’d come for me, and he will. I believe him!”

Eric was so angry he could barely breathe. “Kelly!”

“Threatening us like this–you’re really something,” Darren said sarcastically.

“Beau, you’re quite the big shot, aren’t you? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you’re the director?” Melody glared at Beau.

“I heard Oscar fell out with his family because of you and moved out. If something were to happen to his career now, like a suspension or worse, your life wouldn’t be so comfortable, would it?” Beau spoke calmly, using the most composed tone to deliver his threats.

“Beau!” Melody glared at him, her anger boiling over. She wanted to rush forward and strangle this despicable man.

“We’re all adults here. No need to get so emotional,” Beau said nonchalantly, his words only fueling their

rage.

Some people reveled in their superiority, using their power to crush others as if they held the power of life and death over those beneath them. They thrived on pushing people to the brink.

“And you, Darren, your parents aren’t getting any younger. I heard they’ve spent a lot of money and energy looking for you these past few years, and they even got scammed out of a fortune. They even sold their house. If you lose your job now, who will care for them in their old age? Hmm?” Beau knew exactly how to manipulate people’s fears.

“And for you two,” Beau turned to Michael’s parents.

He was systematically breaking them down. “I’m truly sorry for your loss. Losing a child at your age devastating. I want to make it up to you, to give you the best I can, but the dead can’t come back to life. You can’t live in grief forever. Your son would want you to move on, wouldn’t he?”

Beau looked at Michael’s father. “You can’t let sorrow and hatred cloud your judgment. You’re a man. You need to take care of vour wife.”

your negligence, my son wouldn’t have died.”

Beau nodded. “I admit I made mistakes. But even if you report me to higher authorities, even if I’m punished, the worst that’ll happen is I’ll step down as director. I’ll retire early. But what does that really change for me? Do I even care about this position? Mr. Clarke, who handled the peacekeeping force, was responsible for the oversight. Even if he goes to jail, will that bring Michael back?”

Beau was despicable. He made it clear to everyone that the Lynches’s power was unshakable. Even if he lost his position as director, they would still suffer under his influence.

And even if responsibility was assigned, someone else would take the fall for him. It wouldn’t land on his head.

The meeting room fell into silence. Kelly and the others glared at Beau, their anger palpable. They wished they could tear him apart.

How could someone be so cruel?

It reminded Kelly of something Michael once said. “Kelly, the human heart is the hardest thing to understand in this world. That’s why I prefer animals. A dog will always be a dog, but sometimes, people aren’t really people.”

The problem was that they couldn’t fight against the power of capital without climbing to a higher position.

Beau, backed by the Lynch Group, the Lockhart Group, and other powerful conglomerates, acted without fear.

To him, Kelly and the others were nothing but clowns, ordinary people who could be crushed at any

moment.

“Think carefully about what I’ve said. You’ll have lunch here. Eric will bring you some food,” Beau said with a smile, standing up to leave.

He was sending a clear message to his people: don’t let Kelly and the others leave. If they cooperated, they could attend the afternoon awards ceremony. If not, they’d be trapped here, cut off from the outside world.

“This is outrageous!” Darren exclaimed, his voice filled with frustration.
