Revenge with My Undercover Cop Hubby
Chapter 163 Signing Away the Truth
Kelly did not dodge. She let Regina stab her.
If she got injured here today, Regina would surely be sent back to prison.
But the broken bottle never reached Kelly. Instead, it injured Eric.
Eric had stepped in front of Kelly, making
effort to avoid the blow.

Kelly looked at him, fully aware that his actions were not out of a desire to protect her–but to protect Regina.
Because if Regina had hurt someone else, that person would press charges. But Eric was different.
“Eric.” Seeing blood, Regina snapped back to her senses, staring at him in panic.
Eric glared at her in anger. “Have you had enough?”
Regina stood frozen, torn between grievance, rage, and fear. “Eric, I didn’t mean to! I just…
“Go home!” Eric’s voice was low and firm, leaving no room for argument.

“Why are you protecting her? You still love her, don’t you?” Regina sobbed in frustration.
Beau recognized Eric’s ‘strategic mindset‘ and said firmly, “Enough of this nonsense, get back!”
Regina threw a tantrum on the spot. “Why is no one on my side?”
Beau’s face darkened. “If you had even half Clarissa’s intelligence, I wouldn’t have to worry myself sick over you.”
He was disappointed–Regina wasn’t smart enough.
Causing trouble at a time like this was a foolish move.
Meanwhile, Melody had shielded Kelly and moved her to a safer spot, glaring at the Lynches with fury.
“I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving! I want to see what happens to her! She’s just an orphan–no one will come for her! That thug of hers won’t come for her!” Regina wailed, determined to witness Kelly’s downfall.
If Kelly refused to submit, Beau would never let her go on stage to meet the officials.
Kelly looked at her indifferently. “He will come for me.”

“Kelly, stop deluding yourself. This world is harsh. He’s not getting out, and he can’t come for you. Accept reality,” Eric said, pressing a hand to his wound. “Think carefully.”
Beau’s men escorted Eric away to get his injury treated, and Regina was forcibly removed as well.
Eric was sure that Zev wouldn’t be released anytime soon, nor could he be Kelly’s support.
As he passed Kelly, his gaze was complex. In a calm, rational voice, he told her, “Zev is just a nobody with no

“Lunch will be served in the conference room. If you need anything, let us know. Think carefully–only then can you attend the awards ceremony this afternoon,” Beau announced, his words carrying a veiled threat. If they didn’t comply, no one would be meeting the officials today.
“Keep an eye on them. Let me know once they have signed the confidentiality agreement,” Beau instructed the guards before leaving.
“This is outrageous.” Raymond slammed the table in anger. “There’s no justice in this at all!”
“We’ve been out of touch with society for five years. Reality is cruel to us,” Melody murmured as she sat down, feeling drained.
“We’re old, and we have no other wish but to seek justice for our son. We won’t sign. But you young ones. think carefully. This is about your future. Even if you sign, we won’t blame you,” Nydia said gently, trying to comfort Kelly and the others.
“I won’t sign.” Kelly shook her head stubbornly.
She had her own principles.
Signing that agreement meant burying the five years of suffering they endured in Solmaris. It meant Michael’s death for her would be erased as if it never happened.
She couldn’t accept that.
Melody remained silent for a long time. She didn’t want to sign either, but she feared for Oscar. She was afraid Beau would actually do something to him.
“We can’t all go down together.” Kelly squeezed Melody’s hand, her eyes red–rimmed but smiling. “You and Darren should sign. Leave the rest to me.”
She had no parents and no attachments.
As for Zev, no matter what, he still had the military. He still had Gary.
They would help him.
Melody shook her head. “Beau is using Oscar to threaten me. He’s very clever. He knows everyone’s weaknesses. But signing this agreement, it’s a mark that will never fade.”
Kelly shook her head. “Eric keeps saying I don’t understand how terrifying reality is, how powerful capital is. How could I not know? We weren’t brainwashed in Solmaris–we were just away.”
She knew this battle was unwinnable.
She knew that the weak could never overpower the strong.
Even if she exposed all of Beau’s wrongdoings, at most, he would be forced to resign from the hospital. He’d be fired. But it wouldn’t touch the powerful forces backing him. It wouldn’t affect Clarissa or the Lockharts’s
connections.
Even without his position, Beau would still be part of the elite class.

“We can’t all go down together. That’s why, Melody, you and Darren must sign,” Kelly said, her tone
thoughtful as she looked at them both.
She would bear all the pressure alone.
