Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 424 Desperate Measures

On the way to the airport, Kelly felt her vision darken momentarily.

"Kelly, are you sure you want to go in person?" Hanson asked, 'his voice laced with concern. He was worried it wouldn't be safe for her to travel abroad.

"This case has already been blown up by the media. Even foreign news outlets are covering it. Patrick went to great lengths to orchestrate this, so he wouldn't dare have me killed now. If anything happened to me at this point, it would be a huge problem for him."

Kelly clutched a strand of hair containing Jasper's follicle and handed it to Hanson. "Make sure you oversee the DNA test. No matter what the results are, don't interfere. Don't try to stop anything. As long as we know the truth, that's enough."

She was certain that the body found overseas wasn't Zev's, but she had to play along with Patrick's act.

If she didn't, he wouldn't let his guard down.

She needed to buy herself some time.

When Kelly exited the plane, the local police were already waiting for her.

Hanson and the bodyguards flanked her, their eyes scanning the surroundings cautiously.

The officers offered their condolences, looking regretful.

Behind her dark sunglasses, Kelly ignored the flashing cameras from the media.

To their credit, the police worked efficiently. Within three days, they presented the DNA test results. They held a press conference to officially announce that the badly decomposed body was, in fact, Zev.

Dressed in a black dress, Kelly stood at the press conference, looking unsteady on her feet.

"Kelly, there's something off about the DNA test process," Hanson whispered in her ear.

Kelly gripped his hand tightly but didn't say a word.

She already knew the body was problematic.

Under normal circumstances, family members were allowed to view the remains. But in this case, the police had refused to let her see the body, merely collecting the DNA sample before hastily concluding the test and proceeding with burial.

When she requested further details, they claimed the body was too decomposed and posed a biohazard risk.

Kelly didn't push further. Standing at the press conference, she felt completely numb.

"Ms. Yeager, what are your thoughts on Mr. Lockhart's passing?"

"Ms. Yeager, as someone so young inheriting the Lockharts' billion-dollar fortune, how do you feel?

"Ms. Yeager-"

She remained silent, ignoring the flood of questions from both domestic and foreign reporters.

Taking a few unsteady steps forward, she collapsed onto the ground.

Unconscious.

"Ms. Yeager hasn't rested properly for days. Please stop harassing her!" Hanson snapped at the reporters, signaling the bodyguards to block them off. He then instructed the local police to call an armbulance.

News of Kelly fainting at the press conference quickly spread back home. Crimson Bistro.
