Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 409 Let's See Who's Smarter

Kelly's eyes were cold as she fixed Clarissa with a hard stare. She gestured lazily toward the chair aETUAR from her. "Sit down, and answer my questions properly.

Fury burned in Clarissa's chest. She stepped forward, her hands balled into fists, almost as if she were ready to smash the camera in front of her.

However, Kelly leaned back in her chair, her voice calm. "The footage is being uploaded live. If you try anything, I'll send it out. Got it?"

Clarissa shot Kelly a glare, the anger in her eyes clear, but after a tense moment, she reluctantly sank into the chair. "Kelly, you're trying to set me up."

"I want to cooperate," Kelly said evenly, locking eyes with her. "The real question is, do you want to cooperate?"

Clarissa's jaw tightened, and she remained silent for what felt like an eternity before finally speaking, "It's Beau."

"You had no part in this?" Kelly's fist tightened, her fingers trembling.

Beau. Kelly knew the name. The fire that had taken her parents' lives still haunted her with more questions than answers. Now, years later, even if there was evidence, pursuing it seemed nearly impossible. So much time had passed, and many crucial details had been lost with the destruction that followed the fire.

If Kelly wanted to find the truth and get revenge for her parents, she would need to use both Clarissa and Beau-let them tear each other apart, piece by piece, to reveal what had been buried for so long.

Clarissa avoided Kelly's gaze, her eyes flickering away nervously. After a pause, she finally spoke again. "Beau knew about your family's wealth. He knew everything about your parents, your grandparents ... about everyone in your family. They were all from Seaville. Your parents might not have been rich, but their property was worth a lot."

Back then, the Lynches had been in desperate need of money.

"And Eric?" Kelly's grip tightened on the edge of the table, her fingers shaking as she waited for the truth.

Clarissa clenched her teeth. "He didn't know. But Beau found a way to make him take the fall. Beau used your parents' deaths to blackmail him. And he used you to threaten him. If Exic didn't go along with it, if he didn't cooperate, Beau would make sure he ended up in jail with the Lynches."

Clarissa had to admit that Eric really did love Kelly in the beginning. He had searched for her like crazy after she disappeared. He was even willing to spend everything he had to find Kelly.

Her voice grew darker. "But there's more. Eric found out about your parents while they were stuck in the fire. My sister let it slip. He didn't want you to know, but he was scarred from that night. His whole back is burned. He almost died trying to save them. It was Beau's men who pulled him out."

Because Eric had been unable to save Kelly's parents, and had been seen at the scene, Beau used it to manipulate him. Beau threatened Eric with lies-he forced him to marry Regina, or else he would frame him for orchestrating the deaths of his in-laws, all for the insurance money.

At the time, the Lynches held all the power, and Eric couldn't fight back.

"Hah ... " Clarissa sneered. "After you disappeared, Eric even went to Solmaris. He never tol
