Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 421 Find Out If Oscar Was Truly Someone She Could Rely On

Kelly walked back into the living room, where Nancy, looking nervous, emerged from the kitchen holding) plate of fruit. "Mrs. Lockhart, please have some fruit. You should rest later"

Kelly glanced at Nancy and offered a faint smile. "Okay..."

She knew she couldn't afford to act rashly until Zev returned.

The last thing she wanted was to provoke the forces behind everything that had been happening, especially when this rare moment of peace felt so fragile.

At least the two children were safe, staying with the Hardisons, far away from harm

Once Nancy had left, Kelly let out a quiet sigh of relief, her body sinking into the couch. She stared at her phone, her mind wandering.

Fatigue was beginning to weigh heavily on her. Sleep had been elusive for weeks, her rest disrupted by the smallest noises. Every time her phone buzzed, her heart would race, desperately hoping it might be a message from Zev.

Nearly a month had passed since he'd disappeared. Despite the saying that "no news is good news," the silence was unsettling. She couldn't seem to shake the anxiety gnawing at her.

Her eyes welled up, and a familiar ache tugged at her chest. Kelly knew she had to stay strong, but even the toughest of facades needed a moment to break.

Then, her phone vibrated.

Kelly leaped up in alarm, snatching the phone from the table. When she saw an unfamiliar number, her heart skipped. She quickly answered, her voice trembling with hope. "Hello?"

She wanted so badly for it to be Zev's voice.

But it wasn't.

"Kelly, it's Eric," came the voice on the other end.

Kelly blinked, surprised. Eric ... It's been a while since we last spoke.

"Is something wrong?" she asked, rubbing her temples in an effort to stave off a growing headache.

"Zev's in trouble, isn't he?" Eric's voice carried a note of worry. "Kelly, you can't handle everything on your own. Lockhart Group is too large for you to manage by yourself."

"What are you trying to say?" Kelly's emotions tangled as she absorbed Eric's words.

Maybe Clarissa was right-Eric was not directly involved in the conspiracy against my parents, But despite everyng I still can't forgive him. The sting of betrayal is still too raw.
