Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Hubby 264 3/3 92 Chapter 264 Innocent but Burdened by the Treasure He Holds The next morning at a hotel in Stoneville, Melody and Oscar hurried over after hearing the news.

Kelly hadn't slept all night, sitting at the edge of the bed, guarding Jasper, afraid to close her eyes for even a moment. Her eyes were bloodshot.

"Kelly... Melody's voice was hoarse as she softly tried to comfort her. "I'll keep an eye on Jasper. You just need to sleep for a while..." Kelly seemed disoriented. As she tried to stand, her vision darkened, and she almost collapsed.

Melody quickly pulled Kelly into a hug. "Kelly, you need to get srest. You can't fall apart. We're not abroad. We're in Stoneville. The security here is top-notch, with cameras everywhere. Finding Zev is just a matter of time... They wouldn't dare to kill him." Kelly knew they wouldn't risk killing someone here.

. But this time, it was Clarissa going after Zev... She wouldn't kill him, but he might be tortured.

"The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. The Lockhart Group's wealth people have their eyes on it, and Zev is the sole heir, Oscar said quietly.

anmense. Too many "I used to think that as long as we were kind and didn't provoke bad people, we'd be able to avoid getting hurt." Kelly let out a bitter laugh, tears falling down her cheeks.

"The reality is nothing like that. An innocent man can be burdened by the treasure he holds. Zev was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, destined for a life that would never be peaceful.

"Kelly!" There was a knock on the door.

Oscar opened it.

"The test results are in. Shane's hair was sprayed with mugwort pollen, which caused Wade to have a severe allergic reaction. The pollen was on his body, too. There's no mugwort in Stoneville at this tof year. You were right-someone deliberately tried to kill him. The police have opened a case and are reviewing the hotel's security footage. From the tWade had his incident this morning, the only people who had contact with Shane were Wade's assistant and Clarissa.

Clarissa was also a key suspect.

Kelly frowned, feeling lightheaded as she leaned against the wall. "It's Clarissa, but knowing her, the assistant will likely take the blame." Sure enough, just after Kelly spoke, Ken received a call from the police informing him that the assistant had confessed.

Kelly turned to Ken. "Mr. Morris, you must have a way to make the assistant talk, right?" Ken looked at her.

If Kelly hadn't pointed it out, Ken wouldn't have thought that the person would use the child to plant the allergen 1/3 92% dened by the Treasure He Holds + Pearls sister. He's taking the blame... Clarissa must have given him a lot in return. His siblings are his weakness." Kelly nodded. "Then, I'll leave it to you." No matter what, she would make Clarissa pay for this! "About Zev..." She took a deep breath, and the combination of sleeplessness and stress caused her nose to bleed.

"You need to take care of yourself, Kelly," Ken said, his voice filled with worry.

Kelly lowered her head, pressing on her nose, her voice raspy. "It's been almost 24 hours since Zev's gone missing... We can't delay any longer.

She looked at Oscar. "Keep an eye on Clarissa." Oscar nodded. "I contacted the local police as soon as I got to the hotel. The security footage shows that Clarissa is still at the hotel and hasn't left." "You should rest for a while. Don't wear yourself out," Ken said, glancing at Oscar. "We'll split up and handle things from here." Kelly nodded and leaned back on the sofa, slowly closing her eyes.

But she couldn't sleep.

The moment she closed her eyes, all she could see was Zev.

Oscar and Ken left, leaving only Kelly, Melody, and Jasper in the room.

Jasper was very well-behaved, probably understanding what was happening, so he sat quietly on the bed without crying or causing a fuss.

Melody warmed a towel and placed it over Kelly's eyes. Even if you can't sleep, try to rest your eyes for a while." Kelly nodded, closing her eyes as she thought about what Clarissa might do to Zev at this monient.

She probably didn't have the guts to kill Zev. After all, if Zey died now, Jasper, as the legitimate son, would inherit Zev's fortune, leaving Shane with nothing.

What exactly was Clarissa planning to do?

"I heard from Oscar that Zev has been through a lot these past few years. You secretly went to Solmaris, and not long after, he followed you there. He searched for you for months and then got shot, needing an emergency transfer back from abroad. He barely survived. Luckily, the shot missed his heart, or he wouldn't have made it.

Melody sighed. "That poor boy. He spent six months in the hospital, and because of the trauma, he had to go N through more than a year of psychological therapy before they allowed him to leave and see you." Kelly abruptly sat up, pulling the towel off her eyes. "You mean ... he was in the hospital. undergoing over a year of psychological treatment?" 2/3 Durdened by the Treasure He Holds +8 Pearls

Orfold Melody looked at Kelly nervously. "H-he didn't tell you? Uncle Gary told Oscar to always keep an eye on Zev, to let him know immediately if there's any sign of stress or anything unusual." Kelly took a deep breath. "I know what Clarissa is planning to do to Zev now." In a panic, Kelly grabbed her phone and called Gary. "Uncle Gary, find the psychologist closely linked to Shane and the Lynches and track their movements Clarissa, she's very likely planning to use Zev's trauma to do something to him. We need to act fast!" Kelly feared that if they were too late, Zev would suffer even more mental anguish.
