Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137 Dawn Took All of Kelly’s Mother’s Jewelry

Eric furrowed his brows, his expression stiff. “Money doesn’t matter. I don’t care about it.”

But did he really not care? Over the years, he had grown rich off that very money.

His current fortune was enough to allow him to buy back the shares in Lynch Group. The Lynches had yet to secure their place with the Lockharts, so the value of their shares was still low.

“So, what do you actually want, then?” Kelly asked, narrowing her eyes, wondering what game Eric was trying to play now.

“I heard they’re coming to the hospital to do an’interview, and they plan to present you with a Commendation for your team’s peacekeeping work and your donation of the relocation funds,” Eric said, looking at her seriously. “Kelly … when the city officials are there, please be careful with what you say. The higher–ups‘ relationships are complicated…”

Kelly let out a sarcastic laugh. “And what? Are you trying to tell me what to say? Just spit it out, Eric.”

“Since that money was supposed to be mine too, I hope you’ll mention me during the Commendation. At the very least, it was our joint donation to healthcare progress,” Eric’s eyes were locked on Kelly, his tone pleading.

Kelly’s laugh grew bitter as she realized how absurd he was being. “Why would I bring you up in something like this? If it were you, would you have let me donate that money? No. So why pretend it’s a joint donation? That money is entirely mine, no doubt about it, because you already signed the divorce agreement.”

“Kelly…” Eric’s voice grew more insistent. “After everything we’ve been through, you really have to push us to this point? Do we really need to draw such a sharp line between us? Just mention it was a joint donation, for the sake of our history…

“For the sake of what history? Eric, are you seriously out of your mind?” Kelly looked at him, disbelieving. “Do you think I’m still the same naive person I was five years ago? The way you treated me is the exact way I’m treating you now–that’s what I told you back when we were together.”

Eric clenched his fists, his frustration mounting. “Kelly, this is just a small thing, just words! The higher I rise in the hospital, the more I can protect you. Why don’t you get it? This world is all about status and connections!

“If I rise, it benefits you too! Can’t you see that?” Eric’s anxiety was palpable. “Beau is practically untouchable now. He could destroy you in an instant. Look at Darren, still stuck in the emergency room, working himself to exhaustion. He’ll burn out soon. Just recently, a young nurse dropped dead from a heart attack- people’s lives don’t matter! Only if I make it to the top can I protect you. Do you get it?”

Kelly stood still, taking a deep breath. She was starting to understand why Darren had signed up again….

“Dr. Gray, focus on your little fame game. Good luck,” Kelly said, walking past him without sparing him a second glance.

Eric stood there, fuming as he watched her walk away. “Kelly, I didn’t think you’d be so petty about money. What about the two years I spent taking care of your parents?”

“That was your duty as their son–in–law,” Kelly shot back, her patience running thin. She turned to face him fully. “Because you helped look after my parents for two years, I didn’t ask for our house, did I? Did I ever

the valuables at my parents‘ house? Where did the jewelry go after the fire? What about the antiques, the calligraphy, and the paintings my father kept in the cellar? Where are they now?”

Her voice shook with fury. “Do you want me to list every single thing you took from me?”

Kelly had refrained from mentioning these things earlier because her parents hadn’t taken the proper steps to protect their assets, and there was no proof. Both she and Eric knew it, but without concrete evidence, bringing it up would only lead to a long and fruitless argument.

She was simply too tired to waste any more time on him.

All she wanted was for the divorce to be finalized.

Eric stood frozen, speechless.

The items she was referring to, his mother had taken them all and sent them back to the family’s hometown. She had even hidden Kelly’s mother’s jewelry.

Eric had no words to defend himself.

It was only through marrying Kelly that he had achieved his current standing.

“Kelly, I’m sorry… I just couldn’t stand the thought of you being with someone like Zev. I’m afraid he’ll ruin you,” Eric said, his voice laced with shame, though he was still trying to save face.
