Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby

Chapter 380 Your Man's With Me

“Zev, look what kind of mess you've dragged me into," Caden grumbled like a bitter housewife, plopped right by the front door, and grumbled at him.

Kelly had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.

"Mommy!" Jasper called out. He and Shane had been staying at Caden's place for a while now, and honestly, Caden had become a decent father.

"What are you drawing, Jasper?" Zev walked over, noticing his son covered in paint, completely absorbed in his masterpiece.

Jasper flashed a toothy grin, bright and innocent like a puppy. "Drawing Daddy!" The picture? It was a wild scribble of what looked like six people in one big family. "This is Daddy," Jasper pointed at the stick figure on the far left. "And Mommy" The one with braids.

"Jasper,” he said, pointing at the two tiny kids in the middle, "and Shane."

Zev squinted at the rightmost pair. "And these two holding hands?"

"Dada Charles and Dada Caden."

Caden couldn't help but laugh. "So we're all one big family now, huh?"

Shane, meanwhile, was deeply focused on a picture book, already showing signs of being a straight-A student type.

"I bet Shane's going to be a little genius when he grows up," Kelly said warmly.

"What about Jasper?" Zev ruffled his son's hair with a playful frown.

"Well..." Kelly took a dramatic breath and looked up, as if praying for the right words. "Maybe... like you. A little thug?"

"What? Why does he have to be a thug?" Zev was unwilling to accept that.

Kelly chuckled. "Alright, back to business. Clarissa's trying to protect herself, but I don't think she's going down without a fight.”

"She's trying to marry me, wants to blow things up, and tie herself to my family," Caden said, lounging on the couch like a smug cat. "She wants us, especially my brother, to help Shawn. Obviously, Shawn wants to oust his old man and take control."

Kelly turned to Zev. "Looks like Shawn's been planning this behind the scenes for a while."

"Uncle Patrick isn't the most capable guy, but he's not easy to deal with either. Is Shawn trying to rope in the Hardisons? He's still green," Zev muttered.

"Patrick's always planned to hand the company to Shawn. But Shawn's your classic crown prince- impatient and thinking the king's in the way. He wants the throne now," Caden said, sitting up.

"When did you get so sharp?" Zev teased.

Finished.

Caden snorted. "Please, my brother told me all this. Shawn's been calling him non-stop. Clarissa's suddenly desperate to marry inc. Anyone with a brain can see what they're up to."

Clarissa and Shawn were clearly in it together. Shaw her to get what he wanted. couldn't marry her right now, but he sure could use

"The Hardisons run a huge chunk of the Scaville market. If Shawn gets their support, that's his ticket to taking over. But Sidney is cool-headed and calculated- he's not easily swayed," Kelly said, eyes on Caden. "Sidney's only real weakness is you, his little brother. As long as nothing happens to you, he won't budge.

Caden sprawled out again, cocky as ever. "I'm a jerk. Clarissa's not going to scare

me.

"She's met her match in me," Caden added, smug. "I'm not afraid of her."

Clarissa had once tried every trick in the book on Zev, bur

to Caden, it was nothing. His reputation wasn't great to begin with-he had nothing

to lose and no plans to marry anyone. So if she caused drama, he'd let

her.

"Relax. She's got nothing on Caden," Zev grinned smugly.

"I'm starting to think grabbing that random pack of condoms that night was the

best decision I ever made," Zev said, oddly proud.

Instantly, both Kelly and Caden shot him a cold glare.

"Kelly," Caden said through gritted teeth, "this man isn't it. Divorce him. I'll introduce you to someone decent."

Kelly nodded seriously. "You know what? It might be a good idea."

Zev immediately dropped to his knees beside her. "Babe, I'm sorry. I messed up.”

While they joked and bickered, Clarissa was already making moves. Ever since Charles had left the house, she'd been in touch with Assad's people.

"Why hasn't Charles come home?" Caden mumbled over dinner with phone to his ear. Charles wasn't picking up. "He always disappears on me like this. I'm starting to think he's got a secret family or something."

Zev stared at him, completely done. "Stop being such a drama queen. Give the guy some space."

"Space?" Caden rolled his eyes. "Do you know how popular he is in our circle? It's a dog-eat-dog world out there. If I don't keep an eye on him, he'll get eaten alive."

Zev covered Kelly's ears. "Don't tell people we're related."noveldrama

Caden grinned cockily, purposely revealing it to Kelly. "Did Zev ever tell you? Back

in high school, a guy liked him so much he went completely nuts-cornered him in the restroom."

Zev gave him a look that could kill. "Shut up."

Kelly pushed Zev's hand off her ears, all ears now. "No, no, go on-I want the whole story."

Zev sighed and clenched his jaw. "I swear, I had no idea he liked me. I thought he

wanted to fight, so I.... well, I decked him in the restroom."

Kelly and Caden rolled their eyes at the same time.

Just then, Caden's phone buzzed.

He answered casually.

"I've got your man."

Caden replied, "Pfft, I've got your dad. Are you crazy?"

Then he hung up.

Kelly and Zev looked at him. "What was that?"

"Nothing. Scam call," Caden shrugged it off.

The phone rang again.
