Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 426 The Long Game

"This is Seaville! In broad daylight, how can someone actually be plotting murder?"

From the shadows, Caden stepped out, holding up his phone and recording the

scene.

"It's nighttime," Charles reminded him in a deadpan voice.

Caden glared at him. "I say what I damn well please."

Just as the two were about to argue, Kelly sighed and stepped between them, separating them before. turning her gaze to Ryan. "We caught you red-handed, with evidence in hand. Rolf... no, I should call you Ryan. If we hand you over to the police, along with the crimes you've already committed, I think it will be the death penalty. What do you think?"

Ryan froze in place, gripping the knife in his hand tightly, his eyes darting between Kelly and Eric.

It was obvious-he had been set up. This was a trap, waiting for him to take the bait.

"You played me?" Ryan turned his murderous glare toward Eric, his killing intent intensifying.

"If you kill him now, it'll truly be the death penalty," Kelly warned, her voice calm and steady.

Ryan sneered. "A guy like him? A gold digger? I'd be doing you a favor by taking him out."

"To me, he's not the one who deserves to die," Kelly said, locking eyes with Eric. "He just made his own choice."

Eric paused momentarily, ashamed, as he lowered his head.

He didn't dare and didn't know how to face Kelly.

"Hah..." Ryan chuckled coldly, suddenly bolting toward the alleyway's exit, trying to escape. But Kelly's people had already positioned themselves at both ends of the alley. Ryan ran a few steps before realizing he was blocked, his grip on the knife tightening in frustration.

"Ryan. Actually, you still have a way out, and that's to cooperate with me," Kelly said calmly, looking at Ryan. "You're following Beau for money, and you should know better than anyone what kind of person he is. There's no need to be so loyal to him and work for him like this."

Ryan frowned. "You want me to betray Beau?"

"Betrayal?" Kelly smirked. "Beau has far too many crimes on his hands. Even the tiniest bit of dirt you hand over would be enough to drown him."

Kelly's smile faded. "Hiring hitmen to kill-that's a major crime. You've already killed for him so many times. If the police start investigating, he'll throw you under the bus without a second thought."

Ryan was silent momentarily before asking, "If I give you evidence against him, will you let me go?"

Kelly nodded. "I keep my word."

Ryan hesitated, then scoffed.
