The supervisor gave Zev a once–over. “This entire IF Square is owned by the Lockharts. Ms. Lynch’s sister is our boss. If she says you can’t come in, then you’re not welcome here.”

“Huh? Isn’t a mall supposed to be for customers? Are these even real rules” Zev retorted sharply.

Kelly gripped Zev’s arm, worried he might lose his temper. “If we knew IF was owned by the Lockharts, we wouldn’t have come. Let’s just leave.”

As they turned to go, Eric could not resist one last jab. “You know, almost every business district in Seaville is under the Lockharts‘ control. Even the apps you use to hail a cab or make payments are run by them. Unless you plan on leaving Scaville or giving up on a normal life, you’re stuck under their thumb.”

Zev paused, then turned back to Eric with a cold glare. “That’s their business. What’s it to you? Have you lost your mind?”

“Didn’t you hear? My sister runs the Lockhart Group,” Regina chimed in arrogantly. “Now get out, I’m offering you an easy way out.”

Eric’s eyes shifted to Kelly. “This is the reality, Kelly. You can’t fight the power of capital. I’ve told you before, he can’t protect you, nor can he provide the life you want.”

Kelly squeezed Zev’s hand. “The life we want is something you could never understand.”

Eric scoffed. “A life without money is bound to end in disaster. He convinced you to donate all your money, thinking it was for the best. What makes him so special? Nobody is immune to the allure of money and perks. Zev just wants to control you because he knows you won’t spend the money on him. He has you donate it all, so you’re both left with nothing, making it easier for him to control you.”

Eric believed Kelly was naive, and he patiently awaited the day she would come to her senses.

Zev looked at Eric, genuinely baffled by his logic.

“You’re talking about controlling someone? Aren’t you the one trying to manipulate your mistress by keeping her dependent?” Zev shot back, not one to back down easily.

Suddenly, he realized, “Oh, wait … she’s not your wife. She’s your mistress.”

Regina’s face darkened with fury. “Zev!”

“Don’t be fooled,” Zev continued, turning to Kelly and the others. “Watch out for this guy–he’s a top–tier manipulator. If he can treat Kelly and her family like this, don’t think he’ll treat your family any differently.”

Eric harbors deep ambitions, skillfully concealing them from those around him.

Beau, lacking sincerity, has consistently undermined him, never truly recognizing his worth. Inevitably, Eric will retaliate.

Regina snapped, “Get them out–now!”

Kelly, convinced by Zev’s reasoning, led him away.

Eric had argued that Zey could not offer Kelly the lifestyle she deserved, yet Zey was ready to challenge that

assertion.

“Honey, pick whatever you like, and we’ll buy it,” Zev confidently stated, holding Kelly close.

Kelly, feeling somewhat defeated, responded, “There’s no use arguing with them; we’re not like them.

“You really know how to make being broke sound noble, Regina mocked.

“Excuse me, but you both need to leave, the mall manager intervened, asking Kelly and Zev to exit.

The onlookers shifted their focus towards them, much to Regina’s delight.

“If this keeps up, I’ll have to act,” Zev warned, pulling out his phone to dial the customer service hotline.

Both Kelly and the mall manager were surprised by his initiative.
