Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 421

Chapter 421 Find Out If Oscar Was Truly Someone She Could Rely On

Kelly walked back into the living room, where Nancy, looking nervous, emerged from the kitchen holding) plate of fruit. “Mrs. Lockhart, please have some fruit. You should rest later”

Kelly glanced at Nancy and offered a faint smile. “Okay…”

She knew she couldn’t afford to act rashly until Zev returned.

The last thing she wanted was to provoke the forces behind everything that had been happening, especially when this rare moment of peace felt so fragile.

At least the two children were safe, staying with the Hardisons, far away from harm

Once Nancy had left, Kelly let out a quiet sigh of relief, her body sinking into the couch. She stared at her phone, her mind wandering.

Fatigue was beginning to weigh heavily on her. Sleep had been elusive for weeks, her rest disrupted by the smallest noises. Every time her phone buzzed, her heart would race, desperately hoping it might be a message from Zev.

Nearly a month had passed since he’d disappeared. Despite the saying that “no news is good news,” the silence was unsettling. She couldn’t seem to shake the anxiety gnawing at her.

Her eyes welled up, and a familiar ache tugged at her chest. Kelly knew she had to stay strong, but even the toughest of facades needed a moment to break.

Then, her phone vibrated.

Kelly leaped up in alarm, snatching the phone from the table. When she saw an unfamiliar number, her heart skipped. She quickly answered, her voice trembling with hope. “Hello?”

She wanted so badly for it to be Zev’s voice.

But it wasn’t.

“Kelly, it’s Eric,” came the voice on the other end.

Kelly blinked, surprised. Eric … It’s been a while since we last spoke.

“Is something wrong?” she asked, rubbing her temples in an effort to stave off a growing headache.

“Zev’s in trouble, isn’t he?” Eric’s voice carried a note of worry. “Kelly, you can’t handle everything on your own. Lockhart Group is too large for you to manage by yourself.”

“What are you trying to say?” Kelly’s emotions tangled as she absorbed Eric’s words.

Maybe Clarissa was right–Eric was not directly involved in the conspiracy against my parents, But despite everyng I still can’t forgive him. The sting of betrayal is still too raw.

“Kelly, holding on to the shares in Lockhart Group and the Wagner Group is like holding a ticking bomb. We’re just regular people… You need to let go of the shares. Sell them, take the kids, and leave Seaville,” Eric urged, his tone desperate.

Eric was telling her to leave–to disappear as far as possible.

He knew the danger all too well. He was already deeply enmeshed in this mess, and there was no ARMEN Once you were in, you were trapped.

The forces behind everything were targeting Clarissa, and Eric was fully aware that if he didn’t obey their

mida

orders, he’d be next.

I made a terrible choice… Eric’s voice cracked with regret. I thesught that if I could climbs my way to the top, become someone important. I could protect you… But now I see it was all for nothing. No matter how hard 1 tried, I’m still nothing. I thought I could protect you, but

He had stumbled into hell. And there was no going back. He was pulled into this mess, and now he was paying the price.

“Kelly. If you can get away, do it now,” Eric said, his voice trembling

He was scared–terrified. He knew he was cornered, and escape was no longer an option.

“Eric, tell me… Who are you working for now?” Kelly’s voice became cold, filled with dread. A sinking feeling settled in her stomach, as if she knew Eric wouldn’t come out alive.

Even if she couldn’t forgive Eric, she didn’t want him to destroy himself.

If Eric had aligned himself with Beau and those behind him, that meant he was working with the Wagner those responsible for Sylvester’s kidnapping. More troubling still, they were part of the criminal syndicate involved in black–market organs, illegal dealings, and other illicit activities.

This was the same group that had been under investigation by the police and military for years. The very same organization Zev had spent five years infiltrating to expose.

These were the most powerful criminals, at the top of their twisted empire. If anyone crossed them or betrayed them, they would be erased without hesitation.

That was why Clarissa had been too afraid to speak of them.

A chill spread through Kelly’s body, her fingers going numb. She didn’t wait for Eric’s answer. All she could hear was his shaky breathing on the other end. /

He already knew.

“You’re a medical genius. You’re the only one at Seaville Hospital who can perform delicate surgeries. You could…” Kelly hesitated, not daring to finish her thought.

Eric’s talent was invaluable, but if he became a target for the criminal syndicate, he would be nothing more than a victim on their operating table.

“Kelly…” Eric’s voice was faint, almost pleading. “I have one request. Faye… she really cares about you. I know I’m being selfish, but… this is the only way.”

He couldn’t protect himself anymore, and he knew that if he stayed on this path, it was only ar

time before it all fell apart.

He wanted Kelly to look after Faye.

“I’ll take care of Faye,” Kelly promised softly. “But you need to stop now. Cut your losses, go to the police, confess everything…”

Kelly didn’t want Eric to be lost forever.

“Kelly… you’re too naïve. Do you think they got to where they are by following the rules? If calling the cops worked, they’d have been arrested years ago…” Eric’s voice cracked, frustration and desperation seeping through.

“Kelly, listen to me. Sell the shares, turn them into cash, and take the kids far away from Seaville. Leave the country… No, the safest thing is to move within the country, change cities… “Eric was sobbing now, his words turning into an anguished plea.

“Eric, I’m in this too. Even if I sell everything, they won’t leave me alone. They’ll come after me. Instead of running, let’s fight together. Even if it’s hopeless, let’s fight with everything we have. What if the storm passes and we see the sun again?”

Kelly stood up, her resolve hardening) She wanted to convince Eric to stand and fight with her.

“Zev couldn’t even win this fight … ” Eric laughed bitterly.

“No… He’ll come back. I believe in him,” Kelly said, her voice steady and determined.

Silence hung on the line for what felt like an eternity. Finally, Eric spoke again, his voice barely above a whisper. “It’s Patrick.”

The moment Eric said that name, it became clear. He had made his decision.
