Hubby 177

Chapter 177 Beau Wants Eric to Kill Kelly

At Kelly's residence.

She had just finished cooking dinner when her phone rang. It was Oscar.

"Kelly, did Zev tell you yet?" Oscar's voice carried a sense of urgency as he got straight to the point.

"Tell me what?" Kelly took a bite of the braised short ribs. It was a little salty, but knowing Zev's taste, it was probably just right for him.

"Zev has found a new evidence. It proves that your parents' deaths weren't just an accident, there was something seriously wrong. I've already submitted the evidence, and the authorities have approved a formal investigation. It won't be easy since so much time has passed, but at least now we can establish that their deaths were murder, not an accident."

Oscar shared the news with her over the phone, hoping it would bring her some relief.

The forks in her hand slipped and fell onto the table. Her emotions shifted instantly from calm to excited.

My parents' case is finally being reopened. Finally, a criminal investigation is underway.

Kelly's vision blurred as tears welled up. For a long moment, she couldn't say a word.

She had never even dared to hope that her parents' case would be reopened for investigation.

"Kelly?" Oscar's voice carried a hint of concern. "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine. Thank you, thank you so much..." Her voice trembled, thick with emotion.

Oscar sighed. "You should thank Zev. He hasn't stopped digging. He's been running around the demolition zone every single day. And honestly, we should thank the Hardisons, too. They bought the development rights for that area, and while everything else was torn down, that one section remained untouched. If they had demolished it earlier, there would've been no evidence left to find."

Kelly dropped to her knees, clutching her phone as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
