Chapter 435 Patrick Is Clearing His Name

"I don't buy it," Kelly said, her face etched with suspicion.

She found it hard to trust Cecil.

After all, who knew if he could be trusted?

"Zev figured you'd doubt me, so he shared a secret that only the two of you know," Cecil casually leaned against the wall, his tone teasing. "He mentioned how you always forget to add salt when cooking, how you kick in your sleep-often knocking him off the bed. He also said you toss his toothbrush in the trash when you're mad, and that you..."

"Stop!" Kelly's cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Had Zev lost his mind? Why would he disclose everything? Was Cecil to be trusted? Why would he know these details?

Had Cecil claimed that Zev gave him their home security code, Kelly might still have doubted him; after all, who was to say it was not coerced? However, Zev revealing such intimate, quirky details of their life together nudged Kelly towards belief.

"You caught him, and he still shared this with you?" Kelly clenched her teeth.

"He reached out before heading to Oasisvale. We staged a bit of theater because it was time to wrap things up," Cecil flashed a sly smile.

This was the grand finale, allowing Cecil to return.

"What do you mean by that?" Kelly sensed the answer but needed confirmation.

"Apologies for the scare back in Congrelith," Cecil scratched his head. "Both Zev and I are undercover. I was there before him, under Lucas's orders, weaving through networks to collect evidence on the Drakonia crime syndicate. We've gathered what we need on Beau, just waiting for Zev to wrap his part."

Zev was piecing together evidence on the mastermind behind Beau, Patrick. So, as Zev had said, when he returns ... perhaps everything will be resolved. The net could either close tightly or unravel entirely.

Victory or defeat, it remained uncertain.

Kelly stood, stunned, processing the revelation.

Cecil, too, is an undercover agent...

His acting skills surpass Zev's.
