Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 371 Pressure Is on You

Kelly glanced at Zey and let out a sigh. "Looks like Caden will have to reveal his true identity?

Zey cleared his throat. "Let Clarissa keep him occupied. It's not like she has anything better to do"

Kelly sighed again, feeling helpless. At least Shane was still young-they still had plenty of time to help him heal from the emotional scars.

Clarissa would stop at nothing for her own interests, but in the end, it was the child who suffered the most.

The moment Kelly stepped into her office at Seaville Hospital, she was met by a group of impeccably dressed individuals in suits, each carrying a briefcase.

"Ms. Yeager, we represent Ms. Lynch as her legal counsel. We are here to..." The lead attorney stepped forward to speak.

Kelly cut him off. "How did you even pass the bar exam?" She crossed her arms. "This is a hospital-my workplace. If you have any legal matters to discuss, you should be contacting my attorney, not showing up at my job.”

The lawyer gave a polite smile before responding, "Apologies, Ms. Yeager, but as legal representatives, we have the right to seek you out at your workplace after multiple unsuccessful attempts to reach you."

Kelly's expression remained calm but firm. "Then tell me, after failing to reach me, did you even try contacting my husband?"

The lawyer hesitated before replying, "Mr. Lockhart..."

"Shane's custody is entirely up to my husband. I have no say in the matter. Instead of coming to me, you should be taking this up with Lockhart Group directly." Kelly's tone left no room for argument. "Now, please leave. You're disrupting the hospital's operations. If you refuse, I'll have no choice but to call the police."

The lawyers exchanged glances before one of them spoke again. "We've already been to Lockhart Group, but Mr. Lockhart ..."

"In that case, we'll wait for the court summons." Kelly gestured toward the door. "There's nothing more to

discuss."

"Ms. Yeager, I understand this is a difficult situation," the lawyer said, trying to maintain his composure. "But Shane is neither Mr. Lockhart's biological child nor yours. Ms. Lynch underwent IVF under the belief that the child was biologically Mr. Lockhart's, which is why she gave birth and entrusted him to your care. However, now that it has been proven otherwise, Ms. Lynch has the legal right to reclaim custody."

The lawyers had come well-prepared, presenting documents that detailed Clarissa's IVF process and evidence proving that, for years, everyone had mistakenly believed Shane was a Lockhart by blood.

"She came ready for a fight," Kelly murmured, glancing over the documents. It was true-Clarissa could claim she hadn't known about Shane's DNA results and use that as grounds to fight for custody.

That was precisely why Zev had chosen to transfer Shane's custody to Caden in the first place.

"But I'm afraid she's in for a disappointment Kelly smiled, pulling out a document of her own "Shane's custody doesn't belong to Zev or me. It belongs to Caden."

The lawyer froze, his expression shifting to shock. "What do you mean? You transferred Mr. Shane's custody to someone else? Then what about inheritance..."

"Don't worry. Everything Shane is supposed to inherit will still be his-he won't lose a thing. But as for Clarissa, if she thinks she can get anything, she's dreaming. Biologically speaking, Shane is registered under his real father, which makes perfect sense."

Kelly had no intention of keeping things under wraps any longer. She simply pulled out the DNA test results for Caden and Shane and tossed them onto the table, putting an end to the lawyers' persistent badgering.

The lead attorney held the document in stunned silence for a long moment. "Erm... we'll need to verify the authenticity of this paternity test..."

"Suit yourself. So, are you leaving now?" Kelly gestured toward the door again.

The lawyers, now visibly sweating, quickly grabbed the report and made their exit.

If Clarissa wanted to fight for custody against the child's biological father- especially when she had willingly given up her rights in the first place-her chances of winning were slim.

Not to mention, Caden's financial situation and family background were leagues ahead of Clarissa's.

Once the lawyers left, Kelly picked up her phone and called Caden. “Looks like the pressure is on you now. I'm swamped with work, so as for public opinion... '

"Don't worry, I got this." Caden patted his chest confidently. "Come on, with all the dirt on her, does she really think she can win a custody battle? I'll make sure she becomes famous soon enough."

Clarissa had ties to the Beluga Club scandal, and if she wanted to fight for custody, it would inevitably turn into a battle of public perception.

Kelly knew that in the coming days, Caden would use the media to bring all of Clarissa's past scandals to light. Someone like her, combined with the toxic environment of the Lynch family, was in no way fit to raise a child. Even if the case went to court, the judge would consider these factors.

"What about Shane? We should keep this from him as much as possible. He's still

a kid-he doesn't need to know too much," Kelly said with concern. She feared that if Shane found out, he might become depressed. After all, he was still sensitive at heart.

His mother had abandoned him without a second thought, and now she wanted him back.

"He's doing just fine. He's glued to Jasper 24/7-they can't be apart for even a minute,” Caden said with a chuckle. "Oh, by the way, I heard Shawn has lost all decision-making power at Wagner Group. He's a joke in the social circle now." The rich kids who had always been envious of Shawn or had grudges against him were now watching his downfall with glee.

"He thought he could compete with Zev? Come on, between a legitimate nephew and an illegitimate son, it's obvious who Patrick favors more." Caden sounded quite pleased with how things were

ing out.

But something about it made Kelly uneasy. She couldn't put her finger on it, but something felt off

Just as she hung up with Caden, another call came in. It was Shawn.

"Kelly, I've stepped away from the Wagner Group for now. I haven't been feeling well, so I'm taking a break. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow morning. Can you come with me?" His voice was hoarse, like he had been crying or hadn't slept well.
