Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 424 Desperate Measures

On the way to the airport, Kelly felt her vision darken momentarily.

"Kelly, are you sure you want to go in person?" Hanson asked, 'his voice laced with concern. He was worried it wouldn't be safe for her to travel abroad.

"This case has already been blown up by the media. Even foreign news outlets are covering it. Patrick went to great lengths to orchestrate this, so he wouldn't dare have me killed now. If anything happened to me at this point, it would be a huge problem for him."

Kelly clutched a strand of hair containing Jasper's follicle and handed it to Hanson. "Make sure you oversee the DNA test. No matter what the results are, don't interfere. Don't try to stop anything. As long as we know the truth, that's enough."

She was certain that the body found overseas wasn't Zev's, but she had to play along with Patrick's act.

If she didn't, he wouldn't let his guard down.

She needed to buy herself some time.

When Kelly exited the plane, the local police were already waiting for her.

Hanson and the bodyguards flanked her, their eyes scanning the surroundings cautiously.

The officers offered their condolences, looking regretful.

Behind her dark sunglasses, Kelly ignored the flashing cameras from the media.

To their credit, the police worked efficiently. Within three days, they presented the DNA test results. They held a press conference to officially announce that the badly decomposed body was, in fact, Zev.

Dressed in a black dress, Kelly stood at the press conference, looking unsteady on her feet.

"Kelly, there's something off about the DNA test process," Hanson whispered in her ear.

Kelly gripped his hand tightly but didn't say a word.

She already knew the body was problematic.

Under normal circumstances, family members were allowed to view the remains. But in this case, the police had refused to let her see the body, merely collecting the DNA sample before hastily concluding the test and proceeding with burial.

When she requested further details, they claimed the body was too decomposed and posed a biohazard risk.

Kelly didn't push further. Standing at the press conference, she felt completely numb.

"Ms. Yeager, what are your thoughts on Mr. Lockhart's passing?"

"Ms. Yeager, as someone so young inheriting the Lockharts' billion-dollar fortune, how do you feel?

"Ms. Yeager-"

She remained silent, ignoring the flood of questions from both domestic and foreign reporters.

Taking a few unsteady steps forward, she collapsed onto the ground.

Unconscious.

"Ms. Yeager hasn't rested properly for days. Please stop harassing her!" Hanson snapped at the reporters, signaling the bodyguards to block them off. He then instructed the local police to call an armbulance.

News of Kelly fainting at the press conference quickly spread back home. Crimson Bistro.

This high-end restaurant in Scaville was never open to the public. It only served high-ranking officials, and no one knew who truly owned it.

There was no way to investigate its background. Frankly, no one cared enough to dig into a hidden restaurant tucked away in an alley.

Every time Beau visited this secret hideout, he took a long, winding route to avoid detection.

After making sure no one was following him, he entered. "Same private room as always."

The waiter greeted him politely and led him upstairs.

Inside the room, Patrick was already waiting.

"News of Zey's death has spread like wildfire. Kelly should give up now." Patrick took a sip of tea, looking

smug.

"Who would've thought that a nobody like Kelly would end up marrying the heir of the Lockharts? No one saw that coming." Beau wiped the sweat off his forehead.

According to the original plan, it should have been his daughter, Clarissa, who married Zev.

But things took an unexpected turn. Clarissa lost control of the situation, and Kelly married Zev instead. And now, after his death, she inherited the billion-dollar Lockhart Mansion.

"When the Lynches schemed against the Yeagers and plotted against Kelly's parents, did you ever think she'd rise to where she is today?" Patrick scoffed. "Once Kelly accepts Zev's death, she's supposed to marry into my Wagners. But if she insists on investigating her parents' deaths."

The meaning behind his words was clear. Clarissa was out of control. If she ever revealed the truth about what happened to Kelly's parents, Patrick would not hesitate to throw Beau under the bus to keep Kelly tied to the Wagners.

Patrick needed to sacrifice Beau to win Kelly's 'heart.'noveldrama

Beau's forehead was now drenched in sweat. He hurriedly wiped it away. “Mr. Wagner, we had a deal ... I handle the medical side of things, and you promised to protect me."

Patrick poured himself more tea. "Clean up your own mess. If you're too stupid to fix it, I'll have no choice but to abandon you. But if you dare say the wrong thing...

He looked at Beau meaningfully.

If he was no longer useful, he was as good as deadl

"Mr. Wagner. Don't worry. I'll take care of it." Beau gritted his teeth.

And by 'take care of it, he meant eliminating Clarissa.

Very few people knew the truth about what happened back then. Patrick was pushing him to act quickly. forcing him to eliminate his own daughter.

Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub.

With trembling hands, Beau took the teacup Patrick handed him and forced a smile. "Good tea... very good

tea...

"You have to be ruthless if you want to survive. She knows too much. And this isn't just about you-it's about me too. Understand?" Patrick's gaze was sharp. "I trust you, which is why I trusted your daughter. But if she gets in our way..."

"I understand. I understand." Beau nodded, plastering on a sycophantic smile.

If he wanted to live, he had no choice but to kill his own daughter.

His expression practically begged Patrick. I'll get rid of my daughter. Just don't kill

me.

"Alright, you have a company to run and plenty of medical lectures to attend. Get back to work, Dr. Lynch." Patrick waved him off.

Beau quickly stood, wiped his sweat, and left in a hurry.

He had been stalling, avoiding the moment when he'd have to deal with Clarissa.

But now, Patrick was growing impatient.

Patrick hated loose ends.

Taking out his phone, Beau called his men, his voice shaking as he spoke, "Do it."

In the past, he had only harmed strangers. But this time, he was ordering the death of his own daughter.

After returning from the Oasisvale, Kelly stayed in the hospital for three days. "Kelly! You have to help me... They're going to kill me! They're going to kill me!" Clarissa's panicked voice came through the phone.

Kelly looked out the window and let out a cold laugh.

She had expected this. Now that Patrick was determined to have her marry the

Wagners, and she was no longer an immediate threat, he finally had time to eliminate Clarissa.

"Clarissa, he's already decided to kill you. Are you still going to protect him? Did you get what I asked for? If you want to survive, you must burn your bridges and go all in." Kelly's voice dropped to a dangerous whisper.

"I got everything! Every piece of evidence I could find! Just save me, please, save

me!" Clarissa hau nowhere else to turn. She could only beg Kelly.

At this moment, Shawn couldn't be relied upon at all. His father, Patrick, was the

one who held the power.

How could he possibly be of any help?

"I'll have someone get you to safety. I can keep you alive for now, but if you want

to survive long-term, you must be useful."

Kelly hung up, clenching her fingers tightly.

Clarissa had completely fallen out with Patrick and Beau. She was a key witness

now. And Kelly had to protect her at all costs.
