“You’ll stay at my place for now,” Darren said, offering the boy a temporary home and a layer of safety. “You don’t have to work right now. You’ve already helped me a lot. Once the heat dies down and the Lynches are dealt with, we can talk about what’s next.”

The incident at the club had shaken the foundations of the Lynches‘ empire. Within that circle, it was no secret that those clubs were under their control. Now, their name was utterly tarnished.

The boy clenched his hands tightly, his fear palpable. “You came to save me… They saw you too.”

With a bravado that bordered on recklessness, Darren retorted, “Heh. Let them watch. This is Seaville, and we have laws.” He felt no fear.

However, Kelly was terrified.

“Don’t worry. You can stay at Darren’s. I’ll have people protecting you both,” Zev reassured the boy gently.

The boy nodded and curled up quietly in the corner, saying no more.

Oscar, as he walked past, said, “Go ahead and talk. We’ve secured the perimeter, so you’re fine. We found something significant at the club–the Lynches are in serious trouble.” He shared a few private words with Zev before leaving without elaborating.

“There were illegal substances in the club,” the boy said in a small voice. “The police tried to confiscate them, and the Lynches attempted to destroy the evidence… but they didn’t get everything.”

Kelly said to Zev, “With Clarissa occupied by this chaos, we should seize the opportunity to eliminate the problem completely.”

Now was the perfect time. This scandal would drain Clarissa’s energy and focus.

Zev met Kelly’s gaze and nodded.

This was the time to drive Clarissa out of Lockhart Group once and for all, leaving no loose ends.

At Lockhart Group.

“Mr. Zion, here’s the remaining list of low–level employees whom Clarissa planted in the company. We’ve already turned the ones we could–most of them are just here to make a living. We’re keeping the capable ones, and we found reasons to quietly let the others go,” Hanson reported as he entered Zev’s office and glanced around.

He continued, “These were simple tasks, no real issues. Clarissa called in sick, claiming a bad cold, and asked for 2 weeks off … ”

Zev sneered. Half a month wouldn’t be enough.

According to Oscar, what the police uncovered at the club last night wouldn’t be wrapped up in just two weeks. Even if they couldn’t pin it all on Clarissa, she was listed as a stakeholder and would be required to

cooperate in every part of the investigation.

This truly was the best opportunity.

“Where’s Stuart Warren?” Zev asked, eyes narrowing at the personnel files in front of him.

Stuart Warren was a veteran figure within Lockhart Group and one of Clarissa’s biggest backers. Just like Ken, he had been one of Wade’s most trusted aides and held significant influence within the company.

…

“Mr. Zion Stuart manages the Montara and Hallowick,branches. His position in the company is nearly equal to that of Mr. Morris. If we try to remove him now, it won’t be easy,” Hanson admitted, clearly troubled.

Zev narrowed his eyes. “This is the best time to take Clarissa out of the picture. If we let the chance slip, she’ll come back stronger.

If they didn’t remove Stuart, they couldn’t truly cut Clarissa off. She could always ride his coattails back into power.

Kelly’s instincts were accurate; they had to act while Clarissa was ‘sick‘ and remove her as a threat for good.

“Mr. Zion, you’ve only recently assumed control. Targeting Stuart, with his experience and contributions, could cause significant unrest within the company.”

“Of course I won’t do it myself,” Zev said, raising an eyebrow. He wasn’t stupid.

He would borrow someone else’s hand.

“The only person who can bring down Stuart… is Ken.” Zev’s eyes glinted.

Hanson hesitated, his lips slightly parted in surprise.

“Ken and Stuart have never gotten along. Stuart has always looked down on Ken–an adopted son with no real name or standing, yet still trusted by Wade…” Zev motioned for Hanson to come closer.

Hanson leaned in.

“Spread a rumor. Say the new CEO, Zev, is a disaster–clueless, constantly making mistakes, blindly firing key personnel. Say Wade is furious and planning to strip him of control, and to hand the company over to Ken.”

Zev raised an eyebrow.

Stuart’s allegiance was never genuine; his support for Clarissa stemmed from a profound fear of Ken.

So now, Zev would toss fuel onto that fire. He’d let Ken and Stuart tear each other apart.

This way, even if the company erupted into a full–blown civil war, Zev would remain untouched.

Hanson looked at Zev in astonishment and gave him a silent thumbs–up.

Who claimed Zev was powerless? He had the board completely under his sway … He might not be a corporate shark, but he understood the art of dominion better than anyone.
