Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 369 Stripped

Gary arranged today's meeting, and to prevent Hannah from ruining things, he had Oscar and Melod› take her out in advance.

"Why should I leave? This is my house! If anyone should leave, it's them!" Hannah grumbled as she walked toward the door.

"Why don't you just behave a little? Don't embarrass yourself in front of Shawn Serena is graceful and well-mannered; you'll just make both Shawn and Serena laugh at you if you keep acting this way, Melody said sarcastically.

Since Shawn came to Scaville to take over Wagner Group, Melody had figured out how to handle Hannah.

It was true what they said-everything is in balance. One thing leads to another.

Hannah shot Melody a cold look. "Who are you working with?"

"You're my husband's mother, so of course I'm on your side. We should approach this situation with generosity and understanding. Oscar and I can take you shopping. Whatever you want, just swipe Oscar's dad's card and buy it. Only when you have the items in hand is it real," Melody replied, trying to steer things in her direction.

Melody pulled Hannah out the door, and as they got into the car, she continued giving suggestions. "Think about it. You and Patrick are both getting older. You need to look stunning to make people take notice. As for Patrick, he's just an old man. Why bother competing with him? He doesn't serve any purpose anymore. Wouldn't it be better to just use his money for yourself?"

Oscar opened the car door, nearly bumping his head, and looked at his wife helplessly, who was always coming up with these ideas.

He didn't quite understand what she meant by "no real use."

Hannah thought for a moment and then lifted her chin arrogantly. "Do you think I can't compete with that cheap woman?"

"Of course you can't," Melody replied. "But in terms of grace, maybe a little. Honestly, you still look good for your age. I know a fantastic beauty salon that does great anti-aging treatments. I'm a doctor, and I can vouch for it. But it's expensive."

"How expensive could it be? Take me there. Our family can still afford it," Hannah huffed.

"You should go by yourself; I'm worried they might scam you," Melody coaxed gently.

Hannah glanced at Melody. "I'll get you a card too."

Melody nodded eagerly. "Okay, thank you."

Oscar glanced at his wife's spineless expression in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but laugh. "Honey, my salary is in your hands, right? Are you telling me you can't afford it? Just use my card."

"No!" Hannah snapped and glared at Oscar. "Drive to IF International. I'm going to max out his card today!"

Melody excitedly nodded. "Hannah, look at my hands. Aren't they a bit dry?"

"Just go buy it!" Hannah said confidently.

Melody spoke up again. "Hannah, I saw a bag at the counter a while ago. It was a

bit pricey, so I didn't buy it. But today, I saw the store girl's story, and it's in stock..."

"Go buy it!"

Melody's smile was so wide, it almost couldn't close.

She'd be benefiting from this situation.

Oscar and Melody took Hannah and left Patrick's house, bringing a rare oment of peace to the household.

Shawn sat beside Patrick, his head down, sulking in silence.

"I called everyone here for dinner today so you could all get to know your own family. Do you understand?" Gary looked at Zev and Shawn.

"There's no need for you two to be at each other's throats all the time. Shawn is capable-I've heard about the results he's achieved since taking over Wagner Group." He shot Zev a pointed look. "Zev, on the other hand, can be a bit immature and reckless. He's spent years in the military, and even though he's now in charge of Lockhart Group, I'd say luck played a big role in that."

Zev bristled. "What do you mean, luck played a big role?"

"Shut up,"

Gary snapped.

Zev huffed but held his tongue.

"Shawn, you're brothers. We're all family. Our family has always been united, and

I want you to help Zev. Work together instead of constantly competing-otherwise, people in our circle will just sit back and laugh

at us."

Gary's gaze lingered on Shawn. He had come here today to play peacemaker, hoping to put an end to the endless fighting between the two. After all, in the end, it was the family that would suffer the most.

Ever since the fire, Gary had feared that Shawn and Zev's feud would spiral out of control.

But he had investigated the incident thoroughly and confirmed that Shawn had nothing to do with it. That was the only reason he was willing to step in and mediate.

If Shawn had been involved in that fire, Gary wouldn't have wasted his breath. He would've dealt with Shawn directly.

However, Shawn remained a Wagner by blood, and Gary wished to offer him an opportunity.

That being said, if Shawn ever truly chose to stand against Zev, Gary wouldn't hesitate to side..ith Zev.

It wasn't just because Helena had entrusted Zev to him all those years ago. More importantly, Gary had watched Zev grow up-he knew exactly what kind of person Zev was.

"I need his help? Please." Zev scoffed. "I don't care about business politics- everyone relies on their abilities. But if he dares to come after my Honey, I'll make sure he regrets it." He slammed his hand on the table as a warning.

Patrick let out a tired sigh and rubbed his temples. "Look at yourself. You're a grown man, but you still act like a child. You've had that temper since you were little."

Zev shot back, "And what about your son? Don't you see what he's been doing?" "Watch how you talk to my dad!" Shawn slammed the table as well. Tension exploded between them again, and the two looked ready to fight.

"Enough!" Patrick's voice rang out, firm and authoritative. He turned to Shawn. "Zev is your brother. He's family. What you did-trying to take business from Lockhart Group-was out of line. Starting tomorrow, your decision-making power

in the company is suspended. Any major decisions must go through me."

Patrick had just openly stripped Shawn of his authority.

Kelly froze mid-bite, startled by Patrick's move.

So he was protecting Zev.

Shawn's gaze burned into Patrick, his fists clenching tightly. Without another

word, he stood up, left his food untouched, and walked out.
