Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Social Media Showdown

Faye settled in at Kelly’s place, and it wasn’t until 10:30 p.m. that Eric finally called.

Eric’s position didn’t require him to work the night shift in the emergency room, and his concern for Faye had become increasingly half–hearted.

“Kelly, has Faye gone to your place again?” Eric asked nervously.

“Did you know Faye’s hearing aid is broken?” Kelly shot back.

“Hearing aid’s broken? Oh, my mom said she sent it in for repair,” Eric explained quickly.

“Do you understand what it means that she can only hear from one ear? She must focus ten times more than the other kids to hear the teacher’s words. She’s at that age now, and you expect her to live on self- discipline? Without the hearing aid, she’ll fall behind in her studies. She already has depression tendencies, Eric. If you’re not going to take care of her properly, send her to a welfare home. Some people out there know how to be better parents than you.” Kelly was furious.

“Kelly, you’re misunderstanding. My mom’s just trying to help. Faye gets mocked by her classmates when she wears the hearing aid, and my mom’s worried it’ll affect her mental development,” Eric quickly defended his mother.

“Your mom, your mom, are you still sucking on a bottle?” Kelly was getting fed up with Eric. The more she thought about the past, the more frustrated she became.

She felt like she had once been blind to love this man, and now she just felt like throwing up.

“Kelly, you can’t always be so hostile toward me. I’ve been trying to change these years, and I’ve been reflecting on myself. I know you’re worried about Faye because of me. You’d have no reason to care about her if it wasn’t for me. She’s still Regina’s daughter. Why bother caring about her so much.”

To Eric, Kelly was the last person he thought would care so much about Faye. But the fact that she did meant she was still hanging on to him.

“Kelly, did you see the entertainment news? The paparazzi caught Zev having dinner with that big star, Thea. They looked really close, Eric reminded Kelly, implying Zev was unreliable.

“Aren’t you about to marry Regina?” Kelly asked, amused.

“Kelly, I told you, give me some time. I don’t really plan to marry her. Right now, I just need some time. There’s some stuff I can’t tell you clearly, but soon, the Lynches won’t be able to control me anymore. They won’t be able to push me around like this,” Eric lowered his voice, full of frustration.

He’d waited for the right moment, biding his time to bite back at Beau.

Kelly, always sharp, picked up on the meaning behind Eric’s words.

Eric was brilliant and had a strong sense of pride. He wouldn’t let the Lynches keep pushing him around, letting Beau treat him like a dog, or Clarissa look down on him. Once he had the chance, he’d definitely strike back.

“Kelly, trust me. I only agreed to give Regina a wedding to lower Beau’s guard.” Eric hesitated before speaking again. “I can’t say too much.”

Kelly leaned against the balcony railing and thought for a moment.

Eric thinking this way only meant one thing. He had gotten involved with the people behind the Lynches.

Those people were trying to pull Eric in, slowly eroding Beau’s power and eventually getting rid of him.

This may be a good opportunity. Let Eric and the Lynches go head–to–head, and as things progressed, find out exactly who was behind all of this.

“Wait, wait. After all these years, you’ve had me waiting from 18 until now. How much longer do you want me to wait? Should I wait until we’re both six feet under?” Kelly deliberately pushed Eric’s buttons.

“It won’t be much longer.” Eric took a deep breath. “Beau is too greedy, and it’s already causing a lot of people to be unhappy. The Lynches have made too many enemies. I’ve been waiting all these years, and the opportunity has finally arrived.”

Kelly gave a mocking laugh. “Then wait until you get the chance and crush Beau. Only then come back and tell me all this.”

“Kelly.” Eric tried to say something more, but Kelly had already hung up.

Sitting on the balcony, Kelly stared at the night.

It was true that Beau was greedy, and the Lynches had been too dominant these years. If Eric wanted to replace him, who knew whether that would be good or bad for them?

Kelly opened her phone and checked the trending topics on Twitter for the day.

It was lively.

Songstress Thea had successfully transitioned to acting and was now famous as an actress, earning the double crown of songstress and actress, the “chosen one.”

The male lead in Thea’s movie First Love was revealed to be none other than Zion Lockhart, the heir of the Lockhart Group and the grandson of Wade Lockhart.

Zev had abandoned his first love to marry another woman, and Thea had been crying every day since.

Zev and Thea were seen meeting at night. Was it rekindled love or just catching up?
