Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444 Zev’s Return

Patrick entered the ward, his expression as composed as ever.

Seeing Oscar and Shawn standing guard in front of Kelly, he remained calm.

“What happened? I heard Kelly wasn’t feeling well. How were you taking care of her?” Patrick was flexible and adaptable, not because he wanted to keep up appearances but because he understood that even if he dealt with Kelly in secret, he couldn’t afford to sever ties publicly.

“It was my fault. I ate something from the fridge,” Kelly replied with a light smile. If she was going to put on an act, she had to cominit to it.

Shawn shot a glare at Patrick, ready to cut ties, but Oscar spoke first. “Drop the act. All you want is for Kelly to bring the Lockharts‘ fortune into the Wagners! You don’t care about people–only power.”

Oscar didn’t let Shawn speak. As the rightful heir, he had no duty to concern himself with Shawn’s survival, but he was still a police officer.

Shawn was stunned and stared at Oscar, clearly not expecting him to take such a firm stand.

Patrick’s expression darkened as he faced Oscar. “We’re family. There’s no need to be so vague. The Wagners. are the Lockharts‘ only remaining relatives now.”

Even now, he was shamelessly pretending.

Oscar met his gaze, but Patrick remained confident that Beau wouldn’t say anything.

“Dad, drop the act. Do you truly think we don’t know what you’ve done?” The only thing missing was solid proof.

Patrick leaned back, his expression unchanged. “The law requires evidence.”

He was challenging Oscar to prove it. “Without proof, what are you accusing me of? Defamation?”

Oscar frowned.

Patrick stood and turned to Shawn. “You should take notes from your brother, Oscar. Be more level–headed. Everything I’ve worked for who do you think it was for? You two.”

He was trying to manipulate them, making it seem like they owed him their loyalty.

“If we work together, we can accomplish anything.” Patrick’s gaze shifted to Oscar. “If you’re aiming for a political career, I’ll back you every step of the way.”

Then, he looked at Shawn. “If you want to prove yourself, I’ll give you the chance. The Wagner Group and the Lockharts will soon be yours.”

Finally, his eyes landed on Kelly. “Wise people understand the situation. The choice is yours. After all you’re the mother of two children”

If she cooperated, he wouldn’t harm her. But if she resisted, her children would become her atest weakness.

Kelly gripped the blanket tightly, staring at Patrick.

Leave Kelly out of this, Shawn said, scowling as he stood protectively in front of her

Patrick gave Shawn a meaningful look. “Don’t be so hasty. Think it over carefully. Don’t shut every doo have three days.”

With that, he left.

A heavy silence followed before Oscar spoke, “He’s laying it all out, but we have no proof.

Shawn and Kelly both understood–that was Patrick’s final warning.

She had three days to decide. If she gave in, she would marry Shawn and live in comfort. But if she refused, she would mean going against Patrick—and that meant he would come after her and the children.

Shawn leaned against the wall, saying nothing.

“Beau won’t talk. He’s keeping everything to himself,” Oscar said, looking at Kelly.

The choice was hers.

She remained silent, leaning against the headboard.

There was nothing to be afraid of. She still had three days.

Three days had passed since Kelly was discharged. The deadline had arrived.

Instead of going home, she went to the heritage house.

Cecil was nowhere to be found. The old butler was sweeping the courtyard.

She greeted him before stepping inside.

The house was as pristine and cold as ever, holding memories that belonged to her alone.

“Zev, if you don’t come back soon, I’ll marry someone else,” she whispered.

She didn’t know how to protect herself and the children anymore.

Zev was gone, and Beau refused to expose Patrick’s crimes. She had no way to fight back in such a short time.

“I’m not dead yet, and you’re already thinking of marrying someone else?”

The backyard window swung open. Zev and Cecil climbed in from outside.

Kelly froze, then shot up from her seat, eyes locking onto Zev.

He was thinner, his hair cropped short beneath a baseball cap. He smirked, the same defiant look in his ey

“Zev …” Her voice came out hoarse as her legs felt heavy.

He stretched his arms out toward her.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed forward, throwing herself into his embrace.

Zev held her close, comforting her with a smile. Honey, I’m back.

“I thought you weren’t coming back…” Kelly choked up, trembling as she cried.

“I was wrong,” Zev admitted his mistake, knowing he was the reason she had cried,

“Don’t worry. I’m here now.” His voice was low and soothing.

“Zey… “Kelly clung to him.

He sighed and kissed her forehead.

“Okay, enough! I’m still here, you know. Can you at least look at me?” Cecil complained.

“Ignore him, Honey,” Zev said, scooping Kelly up and heading toward the bedroom.

They had too much to say to each other.

Cecil plopped onto the couch with a groan. “Your wife is pregnant. Be careful.”

Zev ignored Cecil completely, carrying Kelly inside and holding her tightly.

“I have some evidence, but it’s not enough to bring Patrick down yet,” Zev admitted. “But as long as I’m here, I won’t let him touch you.”

Kelly nodded, finally feeling a sense of security.

As long as he was safe, she had nothing to fear.
