Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Hubby 141 Chapter 141 Wade Stands Up for Clarissa Finished At the hospital, Kelly had her foot treated for the burn, and soon after, the police arrived to check on the situation.

Kelly had decided not to pursue charges, and neither did the other party. The issue was left unresolved. Kelly knew it wouldn't be worth continuing. The other side claimed they had been drunk, and it was likely the case would be viewed as excessive self-defense in the end.

As she waited for Darren to return with her medication, Kelly noticed Beau and Clarissa sitting nearby. Clarissa had deliberately chosen loose, comfortable clothes, forgoing her usual heavy makeup. She now appeared to be going for a natural look, likely attempting to highlight her so-called "pregnancy glow," dressed in a long shirt-dress and flat shoes, "Kelly, I heard you burned your foot at the restaurant across the street. Is it bad?" Beau asked with a feigned tone of concern, rushing over to get a better look at Kelly's injury. His insincerity was almost unbearable.

Clarissa stood with an air of superiority, her hand placed on her waist as if trying to showcase her pregnancy. She clearly wanted everyone to notice.

"Dad, I'm so exhausted from this pregnancy," Clarissa said sweetly, her voice dripping with false tenderness. "Wade wantsto rest, so I'm heading home. I'll let someone else handle the company for now." She deliberately made this announcement in front of Kelly, Eric, and the just-arrived Melody.

Melody's brow furrowed in frustration as she glared at Clarissa. "I really don't understand how Mr. Wade can't see through her." Clarissa let out a cold laugh, her voice laced with malice. "A few days ago, I was at a family gathering with the Lockharts. Your mother-in-law asked about you, and when I told her you were in Solmaris, she actually said it was a miracle you survived and cback... but she also thinks you've brought shto the Wagners." Melody's face shifted tically, her fists clenching in anger. It looked like she might snap. "Clarissa, you've been feeding lies to Hannah, haven't you?" No wonder she's been so cold towardlately.

Clarissa laughed again, but this tit was sharp and cutting. "I'm carrying a Lockhart's child now. If you want to hit me, go ahead. I'm the Lockharts' precious gem-no one would dare touch me. The heir to the Lockharts is growing inside me, and if you hurt me, and something happens to the baby, even Oscar wouldn't be able to protect you." The Lockharts still held more power than the Wagners, and Wade had a longstanding grudge against them due to his son's death.

Melody's hand froze mid-motion, her face burning with both fury and frustration. Her eyes glistened with restrained anger.

While others might not grasp the deep animosity between the Wagners and the Lockharts, Melody knew it all too well.

Though she was ready to fight, she didn't want to cause Oscar trouble.

It was clear that love had made her more cautious, more focused on protecting Oscar, even if it meant 1/3 Chapter 141 Wade Stands Up for Clarissa 0.63% Finished Clarissa pressed on, enjoying every moment. "You know, Solmaris isn't exactly the safest place for women. The men there are wild, willing to do anything for a woman. Plus, it has high rates of diseases like HIV. Who knows if you've cback clean? Hannah must be so scared.

Clarissa relished the sight of Melody struggling to stay composed, fully aware of her own untouchable status.

The Wagners were no longer a threat to her. She was now the mother of the only heir to the Lockharts. Just as Clarissa was about to speak again, Melody snapped. "Enough!" Instead of striking, Kelly stood up, stepping in between them. She raised her hand and slapped Clarissa across the face with a resounding smack. "Melody's too polite to do it. As for me, I wasn't blessed with parents, so it's only natural forto teach you a lesson." Kelly's message was clear. Don't get too comfortable. People who have nothing left to lose don't fear those in power. If Mr. Wade wants to throw his weight around, he can just cafterdirectly.

"Kelly!" Clarissa seethed, her face burning with anger.

"Kelly!" Eric shouted as he rushed forward, grabbing Kelly's arm. "She's pregnant! How could you hit her? Apologize right now! If Mr. Wade finds out-" "Find out about what?" a low, authoritative voice interrupted from nearby.

Wade appeared, leaning on a cane, his presence immediately filling the room. "Wade." Clarissa quickly changed her tone, rushing to embrace him.

"Don't run, dear. You're still early in your pregnancy." Wade smiled, but when he noticed Clarissa's red face, the smile quickly faded. "What happened to your face?" Eric anxiously looked at Clarissa, hoping she would let Kelly off the hook.

If Wade decided to take action, Kelly would undoubtedly bear the brunt of it.

Clarissa shot Kelly a threatening look, hoping to intimidate her into backing down and begging for forgiveness. Beau stood silently, watching the scene unfold.

"Wade, I-" Melody tried to speak up for Kelly, but she was quickly cut off.

"I did it," Kelly said quietly, cutting her off before she could say anything more.

Wade's gaze hardened as he glared at Kelly. "Do you have no manners, you brat? How could you slap people for no reason and act like you're justified?"

"Wade, she's Kelly, the one who sent my sister to jail. Now she's somehow favored by the higher-ups. She made a donation, cback as a hero of peace, and now she's so arrogant," Clarissa added, her voice dripping with mock sympathy. Wade scoffed, eyeing Kelly from head to toe. "So, this is the greedy, disrespectful little girl everyone's been talking about?" 000 14:13 Thu, 1 May 63% Chapter 141 Wade Stands Up for Clarissa Finished

Wade's anger flared. He slammed his cane against the floor with force. "This is outrageous! I'll call the qity.

and tell them she doesn't deserve recognition. She shouldn't be getting any praise tomorrow at the Commendation Conference!" "Mr. Wade!" Melody exclaimed, desperate to defuse the situation. Wade ignored her, his gaze fixed on Clarissa's swollen belly. "Anyone who dares touch a Lockhart must have guts." 190 1
