Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 444 Zev's Return

Patrick entered the ward, his expression as composed as ever.

Seeing Oscar and Shawn standing guard in front of Kelly, he remained calm.

"What happened? I heard Kelly wasn't feeling well. How were you taking care of her?" Patrick was flexible and adaptable, not because he wanted to keep up appearances but because he understood that even if he dealt with Kelly in secret, he couldn't afford to sever ties publicly.

"It was my fault. I ate something from the fridge," Kelly replied with a light smile. If she was going to put on an act, she had to cominit to it.

Shawn shot a glare at Patrick, ready to cut ties, but Oscar spoke first. "Drop the act. All you want is for Kelly to bring the Lockharts' fortune into the Wagners! You don't care about people-only power."

Oscar didn't let Shawn speak. As the rightful heir, he had no duty to concern himself with Shawn's survival, but he was still a police officer.

Shawn was stunned and stared at Oscar, clearly not expecting him to take such a firm stand.

Patrick's expression darkened as he faced Oscar. "We're family. There's no need to be so vague. The Wagners. are the Lockharts' only remaining relatives now."

Even now, he was shamelessly pretending.

Oscar met his gaze, but Patrick remained confident that Beau wouldn't say anything.

"Dad, drop the act. Do you truly think we don't know what you've done?" The only thing missing was solid proof.

Patrick leaned back, his expression unchanged. "The law requires evidence."

He was challenging Oscar to prove it. "Without proof, what are you accusing me of? Defamation?"

Oscar frowned.

Patrick stood and turned to Shawn. "You should take notes from your brother, Oscar. Be more level-headed. Everything I've worked for who do you think it was for? You two."

He was trying to manipulate them, making it seem like they owed him their loyalty.

"If we work together, we can accomplish anything." Patrick's gaze shifted to Oscar. "If you're aiming for a political career, I'll back you every step of the way."

Then, he looked at Shawn. "If you want to prove yourself, I'll give you the chance. The Wagner Group and the Lockharts will soon be yours."

Finally, his eyes landed on Kelly. "Wise people understand the situation. The choice is yours. After all you're the mother of two children"

If she cooperated, he wouldn't harm her. But if she resisted, her children would become her atest weakness.

Kelly gripped the blanket tightly, staring at Patrick.
