“Faye is still so young, and you sent her mother to prison!” Eric’s hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. “The only reason I even have a place in this hospital is because of Beau’s promotion. And now, you’ve put him in a difficult position…” His voice trembled with rage. “I could’ve had a bright future—I was set to be recognized at the end of the year, I had more opportunities waiting for me… But because of you… because of you…”

Everything was ruined.

However, more than anything, Kelly was back, and she wanted her share of the demolition compensation.

“Eric, everyone chooses their own path. But the path you’ve chosen lacks dignity.” Kelly’s voice was hoarse but firm.

“Dignity?” Eric scoffed bitterly. “Can dignity feed you? Why do you always act so self–righteous? Why can’t you ever consider others for once?”

Why did she have to drag everyone down with her?

“She doesn’t need to consider you,” a cold voice cut in. Zev walked over, leaning on his cane, positioning himself between them. “Did I hit a nerve, Eric? Now that Beau’s been removed as hospital director, you lost your biggest shield. You wanted to climb higher, right?

“Now, she’s my wife. And all she needs to do is what she believes is right.” His voice dropped lower. “So don’t provoke her again. Because every time I see you, I will hit you.”

Eric let out a dry chuckle. “You talk tough, but you’re just another man relying on power to act fearless. The moment you lose that backing, you’ll be nothing but a joke.” He turned to Kelly, his expression bleak. “Kelly, you brought this on yourself. Beau won’t let you go, and I … I can’t protect you.”

With that, he walked away.

Kelly slowly unclenched her fist, her gaze shifting to Darren, Melody, and Michael’s parents beside her.

By doing this, Beau would not go after anyone else.

She had made sure she was the only one left for him to target.

The chaos of the commendation ceremony spread across the internet in an instant. Since the higher–ups were involved, the media tried to suppress the fire, but Beau’s name skyrocketed to the top of trending topics.

Rumors swirled–some accused him of colluding with terrorists, while others dug up details of his overseas dealings from years ago.

This time, Beau could not sit still.

Before the disciplinary committee could officially investigate him, he preemptively resigned from his position as hospital director, citing the need to “recuperate at a health resort.”

Once a rising star in the hospital, lauded for his exceptional skills, he now found himself at rock bottom. without Beau to champion his cause any longer.

“Eric, you need to understand that all the problems you’re facing now are because of Kelly,” Beau told him firmly, making it clear that harboring any sympathy for Kelly was a mistake. “As long as Kelly remains unresolved, she’ll continue to be a threat to both of us.”

Eric kept his head down, saying nothing, though resentment towards Kelly simmered within him.

“Think it over,” Beau said, then gathered his belongings and left the hospital.

Following the scandal with the peacekeeping medical team, the director of the foreign liaison department and a few other minor leaders were scapegoated, but Beau managed to dodge any repercussions.

For a while, Beau found himself in a stable position, biding his time, waiting for the right moment to handle Kelly.

In the mall.

After months of rehabilitation, Zev had regained the ability to walk unaided. His dedication to his recovery and consistent exercise had sped up his healing process significantly.

“Finally able to walk around,” Zev remarked cheerfully as they walked through the mall, holding Kelly’s hand. “Do you need another layer? Aren’t you cold?”

The mall’s air conditioning made the air chilly, causing Kelly’s fingers to turn cold.

Without hesitation, Zev took off his coat and draped it over Kelly’s shoulders.

“You shouldn’t have cold drinks, but I can get you some snacks,” he said, showcasing his deep understanding of Kelly’s likes and dislikes–details he had learned quickly.

Kelly had not expected Zev to be so attentive to the little things.

“Kelly!” It seemed today was not a good day for them.

Just as they reached the second floor, they encountered Regina and Eric.

Regina clung to Eric’s arm, appearing very intimate, but Eric’s face was sour.

The stark contrast in their experiences at the hospital these past months was palpable.

“Who let you come to this shopping mall? Get out!” Regina’s voice dripped with arrogance, a trait that seemed ingrained in her very being.

“Does your family own this mall?” Kelly retorted sharply.

“This mall is under the Lockhart Group, which my family owns,” Regina declared proudly, bolstered by her connection to Clarissa, who was expecting the heir of the family.
