Gary walked over with the leader, his expression serious.

Beau spotted them and immediately panicked. Rushing forward, he forced a smile. “The rest area isn’t here. Why did you come this way?”

The leader’s gaze darkened as he pointed at Beau. His voice was laced with anger. “Did you think I wouldn’t notice your underhanded tactics? What is this–blocking people from leaving?”

Beau stole a nervous glance toward the meeting room. “No, no one is being forced to stay. These individuals experienced unfair treatment in Solmaris. I was only concerned that they might cause a scene, making your job more difficult.”

Gary’s voice was cold as he cut in, clearly fed up. “Dr. Lynch, you certainly have a way with words.”

Beau’s expression stiffened, but with Gary and the other leaders present, he had no choice but to swallow his frustration.

The leader turned toward the door and asked, “Are these the members of our peacekeeping medical team?”

“Yes,” Gary said, stepping forward. “And these two are the parents of Dr. Michael Reed, who lost his life in Solmaris.”

The leader sighed, stepping forward to shake their hands. “My deepest condolences.”

Michael’s parents broke down in tears.

“If anyone has grievances to air, you can speak directly to me,” the leader said, his gaze shifting to Melody and Kelly.

Zev glanced at Kelly, silently encouraging her to speak up if she wanted to.

However, Kelly remained silent.

Beau, watching from the side, had not expected her to hold her tongue.

He let out a quiet sigh of relief, assuming she had decided to back down–after all, she would have to continue living in Seaville.

Seeing Kelly stay quiet, Melody and Darren also refrained from speaking, their eyes all landing on her.

Since no one spoke up, Gary checked his watch and reminded them, “If there’s nothing further, let’s get ready. The commendation ceremony is about to start, and the media is waiting.”

The leaders nodded and began making their way out.

Beau’s face turned grim as he quickly followed after them, desperately trying to justify himself. “I was only thinking about the bigger picture…

“Kelly.” Darren leaned in and spoke quietly.

Kelly simply shook her head, offering no explanation. Beau’s people, including Eric, were still watching.

Her goal was not just to bring Beau down–it was to expose him in front of the media. While the internet may have a short memory, public outrage was a force that could not be ignored. If Beau’s actions sparked enough backlash, the Lynch Group would inevitably suffer the consequences.

Even if a mere mayfly could not shake a tree, she would still give it her best shot.

“Ever since they teamed up with the Lockharts, they’ve become completely untouchable.” One of the rich kids turned to Caden, clearly not happy with the Lynches. “And that Clarissa? She’s something else. Jumping between men in our circle to climb the ranks–shameless. She even managed to seduce someone from the Lockharts.”

“No tricks, no success.” Caden clapped a hand on his friend’s shoulder. “Anyway, good work today. Take everyone back first–I’ll call you later for dinner.”

“We’re brothers, no need to be so formal,” the group responded, nodding before heading out together.

Kelly glanced at Caden, a hint of gratitude in her eyes. “Thank you.”

She had heard of him before–the heir to the Hardison Group, one of the most influential names in Seaville.

While not as dominant as the Lynches, they were still a force that no ordinary person could afford to offend.

“Sis-…” Caden stopped himself, chuckling as he scratched his head. “I mean, you’re welcome.” He then turned to Zev. “Zev and I go way back.”

Kelly blinked, surprised. How had someone from a family as powerful as the Hardisons become close friends with an orphan like Zev?

Caden smirked as if reading her thoughts. “Oh, before he joined the army, he used to race motorbikes. That’s how we met. He was wild back then–always pushing the limits. I didn’t like him at first, but you really get to know someone after clashing a few times.”

Kelly turned to Zev, studying him. Somehow, it made sense.

“Those were the reckless days…” Zev muttered, awkwardly pulling Kelly closer.

The room had fallen quiet. Standing off to the side, Eric observed the small interactions between Kelly and Zev, his emotions in turmoil.

He had tried several times to speak to her, but she never so much as glançed in his direction.

At the door, someone from the public relations team called out. “The commendation ceremony is about to begin! Everyone, let’s head over–and remember, do not speak out of turn.”

They did not care about most people speaking, but when it came to Kelly, there was a real concern that she might say something she should not.

“I’m right here. Don’t be afraid,” Zev whispered, squeezing her hand gently.

Kelly glanced at him, and for some reason, that simple reassurance gave her an unexpected sense of
