Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter The Calm Before the Storm

Kelly brought the two children to visit Gary, but only Connor was home.

"Where's your dad?" Kelly asked.

"My dad hasn't come back for a long time. I heard he's busy," Connor answered as he opened the door and let Kelly and Faye inside.

Faye, holding Leo, glanced at Kelly.

"Are you being looked after by the nanny recently?" Kelly asked.

Connor nodded.

Kelly was silent momentarily as she looked around Gary's house and nodded. "For the time being, Faye and Leo might have to stay here with you. Is that okay?"

Connor happily nodded. "Sure, I'm so bored by myself. I can attend school with Faye, and the nanny can care for Leo."

mpound, it wasnoveldrama

Kelly nodded. In the military family safe, after all.

Moreover, this was Gary's house. Patrick wouldn't suddenly come here to harm the two children, no matter what.

"Faye, call me if anything happens," Kelly said, ruffling Faye's head.

Before leaving, Kelly glanced at the bathroom in Gary's house. His toothbrush and other items were neatly arranged, with a disposable cup on top to prevent dust. He hadn't been back for a while.

Was he on a mission?

Kelly didn't think too much about it and left on her own.

Not long after returning to the company, Kelly saw the news. A large number of adverse reports about Beau were released, accusing him of illegal smuggling, human trafficking, organ trading, murder, and other heinous crimes.

It even emerged that the medical team's kidnapping during a peacekeeping mission years ago was also his fault. He had intentionally sold the medical team to Oasisvale.

Because many war zones in Oasisvale lacked medical resources, and training a doctor in Drakonia takes five to eleven years or even longer, most of the elite members from Seaville Hospital's infectious disease department had been in that medical team, which was sold to Lucas by Beau.

When this news broke, it shocked the world.

People had heard of human trafficking, but this was the first time they'd seen a whole medical team being trafficked.

Michael, who had sacrificed his life for the country, was again mentioned. Calls for

him to be recognized as a hero and martyr grew louder

Kelly sat in her office, trembling as she read the news.

Chapter 433 The Calm Before the Storm

These were things Beau had done, but releasing these details would make only Beau to take the fall

Beau was already in a situation where survival was impossible.

But for Patrick to use him as the perfect scapegoat, he would extract the maximum value from him.

All netizens heavily criticized and cursed Beau, but Beau had 'disappeared'. Everyone thought he had been hiding for so long because he was the mastermind behind everything. Still, no one knew that Beau had actually been kidnapped.

Kelly guessed that Patrick would definitely make Beau show up or drop some hint

in the short term. Otherwise, Beau's value would never be fully realized.

Beau had been clever all his life; by now, he should have realized that his fate was sealed.

"Has the police still not found Beau?" Kelly called Oscar.

Oscar was busy and stressed. Even though he had been suspended from his position, he hadn't stopped searching for and investigating Beau.

"Beau is involved in too many cases. In fact, many things eventually lead back to him. This man, likely to survive," he said. Even if the police caught him, he'd be sentenced to death.

he's not

"But if he stays alive in police custody, his value can be fully exploited. Once Beau is dead, it'll be much harder to uncover who's behind him," Kelly pointed out, and Oscar clearly understood.

But the problem now was that they couldn't find Beau.

They didn't even know if he was alive or dead.

"He definitely won't die right now. The people behind him will make sure he shows up occasionally to stir up public hatred," Kelly said, her voice firm. "Take the chance and capture Beau." She looked at Oscar, urgency in her eyes. "He's our only hope."

This was the final showdown. In a certain sense, if Beau had died, the other side would have already won.

Because once the crime was pinned on Beau, even if Clarissa came forward to reveal that there were others behind him, it wouldn't be very credible.

The evidence chain would be broken with Beau.

Half a month later.

Oscar had been suspended for a month, and when he secretly searched for Beau, Beau finally 'appeared'.

Someone spotted him eating at a seaside restaurant, proving that Beau was still alive and on the run.

As of now, Beau was indeed still alive.

But for how long he would live, no one could predict how the people behind him would act.

The rumors inside Lockhart Group about Kelly and Shawn had grown more outrageous. Many people sa. the baby Kelly was carrying wasn't Zev's but Shawn's.

Patrick also stopped pretending, personally approaching Kelly to urge her to marry Shawn.

Chapter 433 The Calm Before the Storm

"Mr. Wagner," Kelly didn't expect Patrick to personally come to Lockhart Group. "About Zion, I apologize." Patrick's acting was compelling, making it seem like he was truly sad.

"Zion's accident left me shaken for a long time. It was hard to accept when I heard about your relationship with Shawn at first. But Shawn said he would take care of you and that he could be good to both of Zion's kids. If you were with someone else, there's no guarantee they'd treat the children well."

Patrick sighed, appearing to be genuinely concerned for his son. "Right now, the rumors about you and Shawn are getting out of hand. It's not good for either of you to keep going like this. Kelly, if you're willing, why don't you and Shawn settle your relationship? I won't oppose it, so those bad rumors don't affect you both."

Kelly looked at Patrick, knowing he was losing patience.

Having solved Zev's problem and used Beau as a scapegoat, he was now ready to close his net.

"Mr. Wagner, I'm sorry my relationship with Shawn affected you. Zev has just passed, and now the employees in Lockhart Group are very excited. It wouldn't be the best moment if I marry Shawn now."

Kelly wanted to delay things a little longer.

"The Wagner and Lockharts are already so closely tied; there's no need to care so much. A marriage between the two families would be more beneficial than harmful. They're all people who prioritize profit, and once they taste the benefits, they won't have much to say," Patrick said, his tone less gentle than before, clearly showing his dwindling patience.

Kelly knew it was time to back off. "I understand, I'll discuss this matter with Shawn."

Patrick nodded, seemingly satisfied with her answer.

"Think carefully, you are still young," he said and left. Soon after, Shawn arrived.

It was clearly to discuss the 'marriage alliance.

Patrick couldn't wait any longer, afraid that if things dragged on, there would be complications.

"Did Patrick come to see you?" Shawn entered the office and softly asked.

Kelly nodded. "He wants us to get married."

"What do you think?" Shawn looked at Kelly.

Kelly paused for a moment before nodding. "Marriage would indeed benefit both

sides."

Shawn looked surprised, silently staring at Kelly. "Are we really going to get married?"

Kelly nodded.

At least, they could announce their engagement and marriage to lower Patrick's

guard and distract him giving Oscar time and an opportunity to find the living

Beau.
