“If Zev finds out, he might barge into the Lynch Residence and tear Beau apart,” Oscar said, taking a deep breath.

“He might. After all, that’s his fiery persona. He has nothing to lose and everything to gain from beating up Beau–both letting off steam and maintaining his image. A win–win.” Kelly chuckled.

Oscar couldn’t help but laugh. Zev really had met his match with Kelly.

“The Lynches are in serious trouble this time. Even the media coverage is beyond Beau’s control. The big fish behind them has surfaced, hasn’t it?” Kelly asked, her eyes on Oscar.

Oscar glanced around before nodding. “Everything is under control,” he assured her. He and Gary had been lying in wait, ready for the real power behind the scenes to show themselves.

Once they flushed out the big fish, they could trace the connections back and clean out the mess at Oasisvale.

“Do we have any suspects?” Kelly inquired.

Oscar nodded. “We’ve locked onto a few.”

Ever since the Lynches‘ troubles began, he had tracked anyone interfering with his investigation or trying to sway him through upper management. One by one, he’d investigate them all until he found his target.

Kelly sighed with relief. Darren and that boy had played a crucial role this time.

“Kelly!” Melody burst into the treatment room just as Oscar received a phone call.

“Hello, Dad?” Oscar took the call, stepping outside.

“Tonight?” He frowned, glancing back at Melody. “Got it, I’ll check.”

He hung up and turned to Melody. “Dad wants us home for dinner tonight. Shawn’s coming. Are you going?”

“Nope,” Melody replied bluntly, then noticed Kelly’s injured forehead. “Who did this? Beau? I’ll kill him.”

Kelly quickly grabbed Melody’s arm with a knowing smile. “Give Zev a chance.”

Let him handle it. It was his time to shine.

Melody thought it over and nodded. “Right, we’ve been keeping him around for moments like this. I’ll call him right now.”

Oscar then addressed Melody, “Shawn’s going to be at the house. Mom might lose it. Shouldn’t we go back to keep an eye on things?”

Melody, preoccupied with her phone, nodded absently. “I know.”

Just as she was about to dial, her phone rang. It was Hannah calling, of all people.

Melody was astonished. “Is the sun rising in the west? Your mom is actually calling me.”

“Hello?” Melody answered, choosing not to use any affectionate terms she couldn’t bring herself to say,

“Melody, come home with Oscar for dinner tonight. Patrick brought that woman and her brat back? Hannah said hesitantly, clearly trying to make peace with Melody,

Hannah once saw Melody as an enemy. But now, with stronger opposition, she sought an alliance, knowing that having Melody and Oscar on her side gave her more leverage.

Melody raised an eyebrow, glancing at Oscar. “Fine, I’ll try to persuade him. He’s been incredibly busy?

“Oh, thank you! I’ve called him many times and he doesn’t pick up. I have no idea what he’s so busy with Hannah sounded relieved, happy that Melody was willing to extend this courtesy. “Melody, please make sure he comes home.”

“Alright.”

Melody hung up and burst out laughing. “Your mom knows how to rally allies now.”

Oscar and Kelly laughed as well. “Melody is clever, knowing how to make herself indispensable,” Oscar said.

Melody hugged Kelly proudly. “Of course, thanks to your great teachings.”

Kelly had taught her well–if she didn’t want to divorce Oscar, she had to find ways to ‘manage‘ her mother- in–law.

Hannah was surprisingly easy to handle. Once she realized how much Melody meant to Oscar, she had no choice but to back down.

At Lockhart Group.

Zev had just finished a meeting and threw the project proposal onto his desk. “Seriously… just because Clarissa’s not here, I can’t make a decision?”

Hanson tried to calm him down. “Mr. Zion, no need to keep up the act. There’s no one around. Don’t break anything.”

Zev glared at Hanson–then swept everything off his desk to the floor.

If you’re going to act, do it thoroughly.

Tugging at his tie, Zev felt a simmering anger he couldn’t vent. Breaking a few cups wasn’t enough.

“As soon as Clarissa got into trouble, Stuart came back and started opposing Ken at every turn. The fought in the meeting just now!” Hanson said excitedly.

Zev leaned against the desk, saying nothing.

Everything was going according to plan, yet Zev couldn’t shake his growing frustration.

Ken was smart. He must have noticed someone was stirring the pot, so why was he playing along so readily?
