Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

hapter 379 Clarissa Learned the Truth Behind the Kidnapping

After ending the call, Clarissa glanced at Charles, who stood at the doorway, frowning. She pivoted to face Charles. "Let's get out of here."

"You're leaving already?" The door creaked open, and Caden poked his head out. He challenged, "Didn't you say you wanted to marry me? Come on then-strip down so I can see what I'm getting. If I'm satisfied, I'll let you in."

Clarissa's eyes blazed. "You're disgusting."

He was exactly that. A shameless jerk.

Charles stared at Caden sinisterly. "Are you sure you want to see?"

Caden felt a chill run down his back and hurriedly explained, "No, no, never mind-

I don't want to see anything, clothed or not!"

His boyfriend said nothing. Charles yanked him into his arm and warned him quietly, "You and the kids are not leaving this house for a while."

Clarissa was not someone to be underestimated. Someone was clearly backing her. If she truly meant to harm Caden, Charles couldn't take that risk.

Outside, Zev and Kelly's car was already parked in the driveway. They saw Clarissa storming out in rage. "Word is you're marrying Caden?" Zev called as he got out, looking smug. "Are you that desperate? You wanted me before; now change your target to him. Guess you have no standard at all, huh?"

Clarissa shot daggers at him, then glared at Kelly. "I know you're both enjoying this, but don't get too full of yourselves.

"Shawn's lost control of the Wagner Group," Kelly purposely provoked her. "You got kicked out of the Lockhart Corporation. No shares, no leverage. What a shame. All that scheming for nothing. If I were you, I'd be sick with frustration." "You think you've won, Kelly?" Clarissa snapped. "You're a fool who can't see the bigger picture. Shawn losing power is just temporary. And your little winning streak? Just as temporary. You think I'm down? If I go down, I'm taking you all with me."

She spun on her heel to leave, but Kelly narrowed her eyes, processing Clarissa's words.

"Temporary." That's how Clarissa described Shawn's fall. And she wasn't entirely wrong. Shawn was Patrick's son-there was no way they'd keep him sidelined forever.
