Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 103 The Proof

"The waiting period has passed, and both sides have agreed to the terms. Let's finish this," Kelly said, her voice steady, her decision unwavering. She had timed everything perfectly. There was no room for hesitation.

Eric stood before the counter, his hands at his sides, his shoulders stiff. For a long while, he said nothing. Then, at last, his voice broke the silence. "Kelly, must we do this now? It's not about the money-I just....

He stopped. There was no point in saying more.

Kelly tapped her fingers against the counter. "I'm not waiting."

Eric drew a slow breath, his brow furrowed. He hadn't expected her to be this determined.

"I'll give you ten minutes," Kelly said, shifting Faye in her arms. She turned away and took a seat.

The moment the call connected, he hissed into the receiver. "This was your idea. Now Kelly's forcing the divorce. She's using Faye to back me into a corner! I already signed the agreement-it's notarized. What now?"

On the other end, Clarissa sounded unconcerned. "What do you mean, 'what now? You don't have the money, so just tell her you don't have it. Give her a little each year. Drag it out."

Her voice dropped. "If she won't let it go... there are other ways."

Eric understood what that meant.

If Kelly disappeared, so would his debt.

He ran a hand over his face. "I'll handle it."
