Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 440 Patrick Forces Kelly to Marry Shawn

Beau has been in custody for some time now, and he refuses to cooperate.

Oscar considered using threats or leveraging Clarissa and Regina to coerce Beau, but Beau is selfish and indifferent to his daughters' fates..

If he had any decency, he would not have committed such heinous acts to begin with.

Beau's silence is stalling the investigation. The more evidence they gather, the more it points back to him.

Meanwhile, Patrick has been active, essentially bribing everyone connected to Beau, including his arrested associates, all pointing fingers at Beau.

They clearly want Beau to take all the blame.

Despite facing certain death, Beau remains tight-lipped. He is clever enough to realize that as long as he is not convicted, he can continue living day by day in jail.

Having committed countless wrongs, he knows he is doomed to face retribution. "Beau is stubborn and cold-hearted. He doesn't care about his daughters, much less his grandchildren," Oscar said frustratedly to Kelly.

He was appalled by such callousness.

"Beau is the epitome of selfishness. But now that he's caught, what does he have to lose by not revealing the crimes of those behind him?" Kelly pondered aloud.

Oscar paused, then looked at Kelly thoughtfully. "Are you suggesting that someone still has leverage over Beau?"

This leverage could be key to making Beau talk.

However, what could this leverage be? "Clarissa and Regina can't be used to sway Beau. The man has a heart of stone and will never harm his children." Kelly furrowed her brow.

Yes, he would not, but back then he was willing to sacrifice Clarissa just to survive

Not caring about his own daughter, just to keep himself alive?

So why is he still fighting so hard when he is already close to the grave?

"I'll figure out what leverage they have over Beau," Kelly said, resolute as she faced Oscar.

They needed to act fast.

Finding Beau's leverage would make those behind him truly desperate, revealing more about their operations.

Zev was also trying to return as soon as possible, and she needed to accelerate their efforts for return. "Okay, stay safe," Oscar told Kelly. "I'm currently suspended, facing a lot of restrictions, and they even won't let me contact Beau or be involved in the interrogation. Thankfully, some of the people leading this are

former classmates and juniors."

Oscar felt almost powerless now.

Kelly realized that while Patrick was malicious, he would not let his son face danger unnecessarily. Suspending Oscar was actually a way to protect him.

Oscar also knew that Patrick might be orchestrating everything from behind, which is why he had divorced Melody-to keep her safe.

After Oscar left, Kelly used a public phone near Aville Medical College to call Eric. She arranged to meet him at their old hangout from their university days. Following the issues with Beau, Eric had taken over the medical institution, and all business aspects of the Lynches that were not seized were now under his control.

Eric had finally gained the upper hand and no longer had to tolerate Beau's disdain.

Kelly waited for Eric at a restaurant near the campus, and he showed up within ten minutes, looking hurried.

"Has he reached out to you?" Kelly inquired.

Eric nodded. "He asked me to compile evidence against the organization, expose Beau's crimes, and organize a press conference claiming I found the evidence while going through Beau's possessions."

Kelly nodded in approval. "Publicizing the crimes and holding a press conference will also safeguard you."noveldrama

This move would allow Eric to distance himself from the scandal.

However, Patrick was unlikely to let Eric escape easily; he was determined to pin the crimes on Beau. "Why is Beau so terrified of Patrick? He's already in prison with no chance of release, so why does he continue to keep quiet?" Kelly pondered aloud to Eric.

Having endured years as Beau's son-in-law, Eric was privy to some inside information.

"Beau is extremely traditional, favoring sons over daughters, and he disregards women entirely, not even considering his son-in-law worthy," Eric said, his fists clenched as he faced Kelly. "He's arrogant about inheritance, constantly stressing the importance of having a son to carry on the family legacy..." Kelly considered Eric's words. "Are you suggesting he might have an illegitimate son somewhere?" Eric nodded. “It's just a theory for now, but while I was auditing the organization's finances, I noticed discrepancies. Beau diverted funds multiple times, transferring his own money to offshore accounts, then redistributing it in a way designed to launder it. Once the money reached a certain account, it became untraceable." They had no way to track these offshore accounts or follow the money trail precisely.

Kelly began to piece things together, suspecting Beau might indeed have a son outside.

Thus, his daughters' lives were expendable to him.

Inheritance was all that matters.

He saw his daughter as merely an asset for accumulating wealth or as expendable in his criminal dealings.

But his son, he would protect rigorously, ensuring the boy stayed untainted by his criminal activities.

"Any leads on this son? He's protected him so well that it's all untraceable." Kelly massaged her temples. “We're running out of time. If we don't get Beau to talk and get control over Patrick soon, both you and I are at risk."

Patrick might soon coerce Eric into committing crimes to leave evidence against him, effectively grooming him as the next scapegoat.

And Kelly faced pressure to marry Shawn.

Kelly wanted to stall, to delay any action until Zev could return.

A message from Shawn popped up on Kelly's phone; Patrick had invited her to dinner that evening.

Clearly, they were pressing for the marriage again.

Even if Oscar caused a disturbance, it would not make much difference this time.

Kelly needed to quickly uncover Beau's vulnerability, compel him to talk, and at least temporarily curb Patrick's actions.

"Beau has always been cautious, especially now that he's cornered, trying to secure his son and his assets," Eric shared, equally concerned.

Indeed, no evidence of Beau could be unearthed.

Kelly massaged her temples, troubled by how time-consuming it would be to investigate his illegitimate child.

"But... “Eric interjected apprehensively, “He returns to his hometown annually to honor his ancestors. Could there be a possibility there?"

Eric's speculation was tentative. "I'm not entirely sure, as Regina and Clarissa always accompany him during those visits, and I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary."

Kelly clenched her teeth in frustration. "We don't have much of a choice; we'll have to take a chance."

Suddenly, Kelly's phone vibrated.

It was Shawn on the line, a clear sign of Patrick's eagerness for them to wed.
