Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 426

Chapter 426 The Long Game

“This is Seaville! In broad daylight, how can someone actually be plotting murder?”

From the shadows, Caden stepped out, holding up his phone and recording the scene.

“It’s nighttime,” Charles reminded him in a deadpan voice.

Caden glared at him. “I say what I damn well please.”

Just as the two were about to argue, Kelly sighed and stepped between them, separating them before. turning her gaze to Ryan. “We caught you red–handed, with evidence in hand. Rolf… no, I should call you Ryan. If we hand you over to the police, along with the crimes you’ve already committed, I think it will be the death penalty. What do you think?”

Ryan froze in place, gripping the knife in his hand tightly, his eyes darting between Kelly and Eric.

It was obvious–he had been set up. This was a trap, waiting for him to take the bait.

“You played me?” Ryan turned his murderous glare toward Eric, his killing intent intensifying.

“If you kill him now, it’ll truly be the death penalty,” Kelly warned, her voice calm and steady.

Ryan sneered. “A guy like him? A gold digger? I’d be doing you a favor by taking him out.”

“To me, he’s not the one who deserves to die,” Kelly said, locking eyes with Eric. “He just made his own choice.”

Eric paused momentarily, ashamed, as he lowered his head.

He didn’t dare and didn’t know how to face Kelly.

“Hah…” Ryan chuckled coldly, suddenly bolting toward the alleyway’s exit, trying to escape. But Kelly’s people had already positioned themselves at both ends of the alley. Ryan ran a few steps before realizing he was blocked, his grip on the knife tightening in frustration.

“Ryan. Actually, you still have a way out, and that’s to cooperate with me,” Kelly said calmly, looking at Ryan. “You’re following Beau for money, and you should know better than anyone what kind of person he is. There’s no need to be so loyal to him and work for him like this.”

Ryan frowned. “You want me to betray Beau?”

“Betrayal?” Kelly smirked. “Beau has far too many crimes on his hands. Even the tiniest bit of dirt you hand over would be enough to drown him.”

Kelly’s smile faded. “Hiring hitmen to kill–that’s a major crime. You’ve already killed for him so many times. If the police start investigating, he’ll throw you under the bus without a second thought.”

Ryan was silent momentarily before asking, “If I give you evidence against him, will you let me go?”

Kelly nodded. “I keep my word.”

Ryan hesitated, then scoffed.

“You still haven’t taken revenge on me for injecting you with that drug and locking you in a psych ward, have you?” Kelly simply looked at him and remained silent.

After a brief pause, Ryan pulled out a piece of paper and scribbled something down before handing it over. “I uploaded part of Beau’s criminal records to this cloud storage. Videos, photos–you’ll find them all there

Using such a method to store evidence. It was actually quite secure.

Kelly took the slip of paper and passed it to Charles and Caden. After quickly verifying the contents, they nodded in confirmation.

Kelly gestured to the men blocking the alleyway exit, signaling them to step aside.

Ryan shot Eric one last look before swiftly making his exit.

“You’re just letting him go?” Eric questioned anxiously. “He’s Beau’s lackey! He’s killed so many people for him. Your parents‘ deaths might even be connected to him!”

Eric had never gotten along with Ryan because he suspected that Ryan was involved in the fire that killed Kelly’s parents.

Kelly remained silent, watching Ryan’s retreating figure.

Oscar had found evidence that linked the fire that killed Kelly’s parents to the same arson technique used in the club fire that nearly took Zev’s life. While the incident happened years ago, and surveillance footage was nearly impossible to verify, there was one clue–a shadowy figure in a raincoat caught on camera. And that figure bore a striking resemblance to Ryan.

“I only promised to let him walk away. I didn’t say the police would,” Kelly said calmly.

Sirens wailed in the distance. Just as Ryan stepped out of the alley, Oscar’s men tackled him to the ground and restrained him.

He turned back, eyes blazing with rage, but Kelly and Caden had already slipped away through another

route.

Kelly handed over all the evidence to Oscar. This time, Beau was done for.

“Kelly, the evidence is enough to put Beau away, but he definitely has more crimes on him. I’ve already applied for an arrest warrant; it’ll be approved soon.”

Kelly received a call from Oscar on her way back.

This time, the evidence worked.

She sighed in relief and responded with a quiet hum before hanging up the phone. Now, it was in the hands of the police. There’s nothing more she could do.

Leaning back in her seat, she clenched her hands tightly.

She stared out at the city lights flashing by. She hadn’t dared to check the evidence Ryan had given her yet. She was afraid. Afraid that she’d find the truth behind her parents‘ deaths.

It had been almost nine years.

Time passed so quickly.

From the moment she left Seaville, chasing her dreams as part of a medical team in Oasisvale, to now. So much had changed.

“Kelly, you did great this time. Get some rest,” Caden said as he and Charles dropped her off. “Beau is a cunning old fox. He won’t go down without a fight. Whether you’re at home or at work, keep your bodyguards close.”

Kelly nodded.

“As for Zev… There’s a ton of speculation online, but I don’t think he’s dead. That guy’s got nine lives–he’s not going anywhere.” Caden added, trying to comfort her.

Kelly nodded again, but her heart was heavy.

Once alone, she felt exhaustion weigh down on her, barely holding back tears as she watched Caden and Charles leave.

“Zev… Where are you?” she choked out. “At least let me know you’re alive.”

Stepping into the empty living room, she was overcome with emotion.

She had been strong for so long but still couldn’t stop herself from breaking down.

Her life had been like a nightmare.

And she didn’t know when she would wake up.

Didn’t know when Zev would return.

At 3 am., her phone rang. It was Oscar.

Beau seemed to have received the news about his impending arrest and ran off.

Beau was like an old fox–cunning and sly. Oscar reminded Kelly to stay safe.
