Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Always 53 Chapter 53 Regina Was Caught on the Spot Regina was a bit foolish. She had a cruel nature, but she lacked intelligenc The police apprehended her in the act Even if the lynchs wanted to shield her, they had to weigh their options carefully, Finished Eric likely hadn't anticipated Regina's arrest.

So when she didn't return hthat evening, he started to feel uneasy He worried that the situation would spiral out of control.

"Why won't she answer?" Eric repeatedly dialed Regina's number, but she never picked up. Frustrated, he gripped his phone tightly and tried calling Kelly instead.

Kelly ignored the call too.

Eric's gut told him something was definitely off.

"Where's Regina? Why isn't she responding" Clarissa asked after receiving instructions from Beau to figure out what had happened Eric's anxiety grew. She acted recklessly today, went to cause problems for Kelly, and hasn't returned. I can't get ahold of her! She better not have done anything serious to harm Kelly!" His tone carried a sharp edge, as if warning the Lynchs not to cross a line with Kelly.

However, when Regina had gone to confront Kelly with backup, he still left her.

Clarissa let out a mocking chuckle but chose not to expose him. Instead, she spoke calmly, "Our family has sissues to deal with right now, so I don't have tto worry about her. But even if Regina were to commit murder in Seaville, I'd still find a way to keep her from going to prison." She was arrogant and overly confident in her influence. And when it cto Kelly, someone without family or status, she had no reservations.

"Clarissa, don't be so extreme. Regina is Faye's mother, after all. I don't want my wife to end up with a criminal record Eric said, his voice carrying an unmistakable warning. He understood that Regina lacked the smarts that Clarissa possessed. Clarissa was simply using her as a pawn to eliminate someone.

She had even used her own younger sister.

"Eric, the reputation and status of my family are tied to all of us. You can relax. In Seaville, apart from the Lockharts, no one else is worth my attention. And soon, I will be the future lady of the Lockharts. Do you understand?" Clarissa stated, completely indifferent.

"There's no need to stress over Regina She'll be fine. She grew up in my home, cherished and indulged. It's natural for her to be a little headstrong and spoiled. Let her enjoy herself. She'll cback on her own. Trust me, she's aware of her limits and won't do anything truly reckless, Clarissa reassured, offering him an easy way to back down, "Kelly is still my wife. I hope you can return that heritage house to her. It's rightfully hers, Eric said in a low voice Clarissa smirked. "Hmm... you should think carefully about where your true loyalties lie. Eric, even though the money endel up with me, it was your investment, wasn't it? You own 20% of the Lynch Group shares. How can you expectto hand the house back to Kelly? Over the years, you and Regina have made plenty of profit from the company." Eric's hands curled into fists as he clenched his jaw. "The person who purchased the heritage house is a friend of yours, right? Can you introduce me? I want to buy it back." Chapter 53 Regina Was Caught on the Spot Finished and you invested it. So why blme?" She leaned back slightly and added, "Eric, if you want to rise to the top and stay there. you have to learn to put yourself first. Got it "You should figure it out on your own. Sthings are beyond Kelly's reach, no matter how capable she is. She stands alone, while we have a family" Once she finished speaking, she ended the call.

Furious, Eric threw his phone and violently kicked the coffee table.

He collapsed onto the couch, clutching his head in distress.

Was he suffering because his conscience still lingered? No, it was because Clarissa had placed all the blon him, leaving him with no escape.

He was the one who sold Kelly's house to fund his investments, m pocketed the compensation from the Ο demolition of Kelly's parent's home, and even took their hefty insurance payout. Now, he was trapped. There was nowhere left to turn.

"Daddy, why hasn't Mommy chyet? At the bedroom doorway, Faye hugged her stuffed bear tiginly, her voice trembling. Mommy always tellsbedtstories." Eric wiped his face, forcing a smile. “I called Mommy, but she has to work late tonight. So tonight, I will stay with you, okay?" Faye nodded. "Alright. But Daddy, you have to tella story" "What story do you want to hear!". Eric asked as he scooped Faye into his arms.

"I want to hear about the Little Mermaid." Faye wrapped her arms around him and softly asked, "Daddy, why did the Lane Mermaid give up everything for the prince, only to turn into foam? If he loved her, why did he marry someone else?" Eric suddenly stopped in his tracks, a stabbing pain spreading through his chest. "Daddy?" Faye's small voice called out.

"Faye, stay hand get srest. I'll ask the nanny to keep you company. Daddy has to step out for a bit. The hospital is really busy, okay?" in that instant, fear gripped Eric. He was terrified that something had really happened to Kelly.
