Nigel gazed at Carly with affection.
Hayden watched the scene with satisfaction while Lucy, standing off to the side, curled her lips into a quiet smile. Her scheming hadn't been in vain, after all.
…
That night, Carly returned to her room.
Not long after, Lucy followed her in. "Carly."
Carly's tone was cold. "What do you want?"
"Carly, I just came to see you. In a couple of days, you'll be leaving for the Capitol with Mr. Hampton. I can't bear to part with you."
Lucy was genuinely reluctant to let Carly go, but Carly didn't want to see Lucy at all. "I'm fine. You can go."
"Carly…" Lucy reached out to take Carly's hand.
However, Carly shook her off. "What are you doing? Why are you so annoying?"
Lucy froze. "Carly, is that how you talk to your mother?"
"Mother?" Carly sneered. "You're not my real mother. Mrs. Hampton is my mother. At most, you're just my foster mom."
Lucy stiffened. She had gone through so much trouble to swap Carly and Celine, ensuring that Carly would become a billionaire heiress.
However, she never expected that once Carly became the heiress, she would refuse to acknowledge her. She had poured all her love and devotion into Carly. Carly was her only hope.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
