Bestfriend Divorced Me When I Carried His Baby (Kelly and Pierce) novel Chapter 176

Drunk and Tempted 

Connor’s POV 

“Dad.” 

I turned to look at Matt who just entered my study room. I signaled him to sit on the chair in front of my table but he didn’t oblige. He stood in front of me with a straight face. 

“What is it, son?” 

He scoffed. “Did you know that Kelly believed that her mother was murdered and that she’s suspecting us?” 

It’s nothing to be shocked about. I know that that’s why I’m doing everything to keep my family out of the 

hot seat. 

“I know.” 

His forehead creased. “Dad, will you just let her do that?” 

I chuckled. “Let her be, son. She’s just lonely. Once she realizes that she’s wrong, she’ll stop. 

“What if she won’t stop? What if she has evidence?” 

That alarmed me. I clenched my jaws and I stared at my son. “Evidence? She has evidence?” 

He shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t know. Maybe she has. That’s why she was so confident when she told me that her mother was murdered. W? 

I sucked my breath and shook my head. “Nothing. Go. I have some paperwork to finish.” 

“Paperwork? I thought Kelly stole your position?” 

I gritted my teeth and balled my fists under my table as I glared at the papers in front of me. “I’m 

consulting a lawyer regarding that matter. I will get my position back.” 

okay. I’ll leave for a while, dad. I want to keep an eye on Kelly and make sure that she won’t harm any of 

us.” 

I lifted my face and looked at him. “Yes, please. Tell me everything she’s doing. Make sure that she won’t notice you watching her.” 

“Yes, dad. Where’s Mason, by the way?” 

I rested my back on my swivel chair. “He went out. To unwind, I think.” 

He nodded. I watched my son leave my study room and call someone after I made sure he’s gone. 

[Hello?] 

I clenched my jaws. “Are you sure all the documents are burned down?” 

[Yes, Mr. Foster] 

pulled myself up and walked towards the door. I checked outside and locked the door after I saw no 

one. 

“She’s still investigating. My son is already so curious about what’s happening. Just make sure that Kelly will never find any more evidence that will prove my involvement in her mother’s death. I’m telling you, I’ll drag you with me if Kelly manages to bring me down.” 

Dank, and Tempted 

[The documents are all gone, Mr. Foster. I made sure of it so you have nothing to worry about.] 

“Good,” I said coldly before I ended the call and went out of my study room. 

“Where’s Matt?” I asked the maid who’s cleaning in the living area. 

“He left almost five minutes ago, Sir.” 

I nodded. I don’t want my sons to find out anything, especially Matt. That kid is righteous. He will never side with me once he finds out about the truth. 

***Matt’s POV 

I slammed my fists on the steering wheel as I took my earbuds off and threw it on the floor of my car. My chest was moving up and down rapidly in so much anger, disappointment, and frustration. 

I went to my father’s study room today and secretly installed an audio bugging device under his table. I was desperate to prove Kelly wrong, but a part of me wanted to believe her too so I put that thing in my father’s study room and….and…fck! 

“What the fck, dad!” I growled and cursed continuously under my breath. He’s involved, Kelly was right. She’s right. My family has been hiding a hideous truth. 

“ARGH!” I shouted again and clenched my jaws. He’s kind and I didn’t even see him commit mistake before so I didn’t expect him to be this evil 

He was involved in Eva Foster’s death. His own sister. His blood. This is fcking frustrating! 

I couldn’t accept it. I couldn’t! I looken to him. He was my role model. I became successful because of him. I did everything to make him proud of me because I’m proud that he’s my father but now…I don’t know. I feel…miserable! 

Instead of going to the company to watch Kelly’s move, I went to a bar. I feel like I’m going to explode The family I’ve been trying to protect doesn’t need protection because it’s not worth protecting. 

I don’t really drink but today I think I need this. I have to drown myself in alcohol or else I’d confront my dad about what I heard. I can’t do that. I’m still…in denial.
