Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby
Chapter 153 Faye’s Allegations Against Kelly
+8 Pearis
Oscar’s father, Richard Wagner, was a man whose presence was impossible to ignore. In his middle years, he carried an undeniable authority that commanded attention. When he spoke, it wasn’t to defend his wife–it was a display of his dominance over the younger generation.
Oscar stood close behind Melody, his stance protective, his voice even but firm. “The one who should control his wife is you. I’ve got my own work, my own income, and my bonuses. Melody is a doctor, and her pay is just as good as mine. No matter how powerful you are, when you get sick, you still need a doctor. And when something goes wrong, you still need the police.”
Fuming, Richard stormed into the room. His face turned an unhealthy shade of red as he took in the disarray surrounding him. He began to berate them. “You spend all your time with those women gossiping over tea. What are you doing bothering them?”
Oscar gently grasped Melody’s hand and began guiding her out, with Kelly quietly trailing behind, not interfering.
“Kelly, thank you,” Melody said softly, squeezing Kelly’s hand in appreciation.
“I didn’t really do much. Oscar said everything that needed to be said,” Kelly replied with a smile, though the hint of envy in her eyes was evident. In tough situations, people relied on sheer willpower to survive. Kelly had never been that lucky. When she returned to the country, her source of hope had fallen apart. But Melody, her beacon of light had always chosen her.
As they walked away, Gary’s car pulled up outside. He hurried out, his face full of concern. “What’s going on? Is everything alright?”
Zev, also in the car, quickly reached for Kelly, his face filled with worry. “Why didn’t you call me?”
“Because you’re injured, and you’re no help,” Gary muttered. “If I hadn’t had to drag you into the car, we’d have gotten here much earlier.”
Ignoring Gary’s comment, Zev gently pulled Kelly into the car, his voice soft and calming. “Are you okay? Is your foot hurting?”
Kelly shook her head. “It’s not about me. It’s Melody. Her mother–in–law is really awful.”
Oscar exchanged a few words with Gary before leading Melody away. After a brief farewell between Kelly and Melody, Oscar closed the car door behind them.
“If you marry me, you won’t have to worry about mother–in–law problems,” Zev said with a hint of pride.
“But even if my mom were alive, it wouldn’t be an issue,” Zev continued, his voice quieter now. “S” – would have understood and treated you well … ”
He trailed off, the realization that it was all impossible settling in. Death couldn’t be undone.
Kelly squeezed his hand. “We’re good like this. We’re all each other has.”
They didn’t have families left to turn to.
“Hannah’s nothing but trouble,” Gary muttered while getting in the car, clearly wanting no part in the
drama.

“I came to see how your family is mistreating the peacekeeping hero and bullying my niece–in–law, Gary replied with a scoff before driving off.
Richard fumed, muttering to himself, “Both of them–no respect at all. One can’t even call me ‘Dad, and the other can’t even talk to me properly.”
The Wagners were a large family, with Gary being the youngest, Richard The oldest, and the second sibling being Zev’s mother.
Kelly stole a quick glance at Zev in the car. Is it just my imagination, or did he subtly recoil, almost as if trying to hide from someone’s gaze? Maybe it’s simply a reflex, a habit developed from his line of work.
“It’s Clarissa,” she said, her voice heavy with frustration. “She somehow got her hands on a video of us from that hotel in Solmaris. Melody and I were nearly assaulted by those men, but Zev stepped in and saved us. But Clarissa–she edited the footage, cutting out the crucial moments, and sent it to Hannah.”
Gary’s expression darkened, his anger evident. “Clarissa is exactly like Beau–heartless and calculating. And Mr. Wade, as usual, is blind to it all, defending her without question.”
Zev’s brow furrowed, his tone tense. “He’s been blind to it for a long time now. Clarissa’s really becoming a serious issue.”
As the car neared the gates of the compound, Kelly saw Faye outside the guardhouse. She was sitting on the ground, her eyes swollen from crying, refusing to leave. Two police officers stood nearby, seemingly speaking with her.
Faye looked up, her eyes locking on Kelly in the car. “Kelly! Kelly, don’t send me away! You said I’m on your household registry!” she cried out, running after the car, desperate to stay with Kelly.
Kelly didn’t respond, but her grip on Zev’s hand tightened.
“Kelly…” Faye continued to wail, chasing the car, but then tripped and fell hard to the ground.
Gary slowed the car and stopped, muttering, “Call her father.”
The officer shrugged, “We already tried. Her dad is out of town for work. We’ve called other relatives, but no one is answering.”
“Ms. Yaeger, sorry, but this girl refuses to leave. We can’t take her away. She’s resisting. I see she’s listed under your name if you’re her mother-”
…
“I’m not her mother,” Kelly interrupted, her voice firm. “Sorry, I have nothing to do with her. Let her go.”
Faye, still sobbing, had knocked out her baby teeth in the fall. Blood filled her mouth as she screamed in pain. “You don’t want me anymore?”
Kelly frowned and pulled out her phone, dialing Eric’s number. I thought he cares the most about his daughter. Or is it all just a front?
The phone kept ringing, but Eric didn’t pick up.
“Maybe we should … take her back?” Zev suggested quietly.
With Gary along, they could drop Faye off at Dawn’s place.

Thinking she was being taken home, Faye ignored her aching mouth and scrambled into the car.
But instead of heading home, Gary made a U–turn, driving straight to Eric’s house.
When they arrived, Faye refused to get out of the car.

Kelly, losing patience, got out, grabbed Faye by the strap of her backpack, and pulled her out of the car, forcing her inside the building.
Zev inhaled sharply, turning to Gary. “If we ever have kids, we’ll need to teach them early to not mess with their mom.”
Dawn arrived just then, laughing and chatting with her daughter, clearly returning from shopping. But as soon as she saw Kelly, her expression darkened. “You have the nerve to come back here. What do you want at my house?”
Kelly pushed Faye down at Dawn’s feet. “Watch your granddaughter. Next time, I’ll just throw her in the river.”
Dawn’s eyes went wide as she saw Faye’s bloodied face. She crouched down, frantic. “Who did this to you?”
Faye wiped away her tears, glaring at Kelly with hatred. “She did it!”
