Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 Beau Wants Eric to Kill Kelly

At Kelly’s residence.

She had just finished cooking dinner when her phone rang. It was Oscar.

“Kelly, did Zev tell you yet?” Oscar’s voice carried a sense of urgency as he got straight to the point.

Finished

“Tell me what?” Kelly took a bite of the braised short ribs. It was a little salty, but knowing Zev’s taste, it was probably just right for him.

“Zev has found a new evidence. It proves that your parents‘ deaths weren’t just an accident, there was something seriously wrong. I’ve already submitted the evidence, and the authorities have approved a formal investigation. It won’t be easy since so much time has passed, but at least now we can establish that their deaths were murder, not an accident.”

Oscar shared the news with her over the phone, hoping it would bring her some relief.

The forks in her hand slipped and fell onto the table. Her emotions shifted instantly from calm to excited.

My parents‘ case is finally being reopened. Finally, a criminal investigation is underway.

Kelly’s vision blurred as tears welled up. For a long moment, she couldn’t say a word.

She had never even dared to hope that her parents‘ case would be reopened for investigation.

“Kelly?” Oscar’s voice carried a hint of concern. “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine. Thank you, thank you so much…” Her voice trembled, thick with emotion.

Oscar sighed. “You should thank Zev. He hasn’t stopped digging. He’s been running around the demolition zone every single day. And honestly, we should thank the Hardisons, too. They bought the development rights for that area, and while everything else was torn down, that one section remained untouched. If they had demolished it earlier, there would’ve been no evidence left to find.”

Kelly dropped to her knees, clutching her phone as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

So that’s what Zev has been doing these past few days. He’s investigating my parents‘ deaths.

“Honey, I’m home.”

Zev stepped inside and saw Kelly kneeling on the floor, crying.

Zev froze for a second, then panicked. He rushed forward and scooped Kelly into his arms, his voice laced with worry. “What happened? Did you get hurt? Where does it hurt? Kelly?”

He frantically looked her over, his hands checking for any injuries.

Kelly shook her head, her red–rimmed eyes locking onto his. Then, without a word, she lifted her arms and hugged him first.

Zev stiffened. For a moment, he was caught completely off guard.

Chapter 177 Beau Wants Eric to Kill Kelly

Finished

Although Kelly didn’t resist him as much as before, there was still a distance between them, especially when it came to physical intimacy.

Yet now, she was holding onto him willingly. It made his heartbeat stumble.

“Oscar informed me that my parents‘ case is being reopened,” Kelly mumbled against his chest, her arms tightening around him. “Zev, thank you.”

“This is good news. So, don’t cry,” he murmured, lifting her with ease and carrying her over to the couch.

Kelly barely had time to react before she found herself in an awkward position. She was sitting squarely on his lap.

Her face flushed. Maybe it was best to just play dead.

Growing up in a well–educated family, Kelly had always been the quiet, well–mannered type. Her experience with romance was limited. She had only ever dated Eric.

And Eric, well, he was a hypocrite; always maintaining a virtuous façade. Even when they were together, he never did anything that would leave her blushing.

However, Zev was different. He was completely unrestrained. She had once thought she would never, ever let a rogue like him touch her.

Back in Solmaris, she had been so determined that if he ever forced himself on her, she would rather die than give in.

Yet, here she was now. Not only was she tolerating his shamelessness, she was starting to get used to it.

Kelly nestled against Zev’s shoulder, her voice soft as she asked, “Zev, I used to treat you pretty badly, didn’t

I?”

Zev’s sense of grievance exploded on the spot. “Pretty badly? Kelly, you were heartless!”

If he started listing everything she had done to him, he could go on like a nagging old woman for hours.

Kelly chuckled and said nothing.

Zev looked down at the girl in his arms, suddenly cautious, as if even holding her required the utmost care.

He was afraid. Afraid that this moment wasn’t real.
