Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 422 Kelly Tries to Test Oscar

The entire night, Kelly couldn't find a moment of peace..

Flushed

Eric's words echoed in her mind, filling her with dread, while Zev's silence only deepened her anxiety.

Patrick

So it's really him.

For years. Patrick hid his true nature so well.

If the forces behind all of this truly are Patrick and his network... Melody is his daughter-in-law. During the trip to Oasisvale, he knew Melody was part of the medical team, yet he still ordered the Lynches to betray everyone.

The thought was horrifying-an unsettling realization.

She remembered a bitter conversation with Melody from back then, when Melody had vented about her mother-in-law. She'd complained about how the woman disapproved of her, preferring a daughter-in-law with a more prestigious background and a degree in business.

Yet, when it came to Patrick, Melody had only praise. She spoke of him as if he were a saint-generous, kind, humble. As the CEO of the Wagner Group, Patrick didn't act like a powerful man. He was modest, frugal, and never looked down on Melody for being a doctor.

Kelly hadn't thought much of Patrick at first. Even with her sharp instincts, she had been taken in by his charm.

Outside of a few obvious flaws-like Shawn and his mother-Patrick seemed like the perfect man.

He was admired for how well he treated Oscar's mother, appearing to genuinely care for her. Yet, behind the scenes, no one knew about his mistresses or illegitimate children.

He stayed out of the Wagner Group's operations and, to the public, seemed to lack significant power. But in the shadows, he controlled the largest black-market operation in the country.

He was so invested in Zev that he even had Shawn removed from his position-all for Zev's sake. It was unnervingly calculated.

Kelly curled up in bed, clutching Zev's pillow, whispering bitterly to herself, "If you don't come back soon, I might just have to remarry....

"1

. She laughed, but the sound was hollow.

Without Zev, she felt completely vulnerable.

If Patrick decides to act and Zev doesn't return in time...

I might have no choice but to marry Shawn, just to survive, to protect my children.

Kelly wasn't afraid of dying, but the thought of her sons growing up like Zev- entangled in the family's betrayals-was unbearable. She couldn't let that happen to Jasper and Shane.

"Zev, where are you? Even just a sign of life ... Let me know you're still out there..." Kelly's voice trembled, the weight of her fear pressing down on her chest.
