Hayden immediately pushed her aw

With that, he stormed oft

Lucy stood there frozen on the spot. With therge scratch marks on her face and neck, she looked like aplete mess.

At first, she thought of taking this as an opportunity to rekindle with Hayden. She didn’t expect that this would drive him further away.

She tumed to Cely and desperately clutched at her arms as if she was grasping for a lifeline “Carly, please let me exin.”

But Garly pushed her away coldly. “Mom, what’s gotten into youtely? I’m so disappointed in byou/b.

Hearing Carly’s remarks, Lucy seethed inwardly.

This was all Celine’s faul

Her heart filled with resentment. Life had been going perfectly before Celine returned, but now, nothing seemed to go her way

She despised Celine!

Suddenly, Hansel ran up to her and dropped to his knees. “I’m so sorryb, /bAunt Lucy!”

She immediately grabbed Hansel by the cor. “Hansel, what happened? bWhy /bCeline reced by Tracy?”

Hansel tried his best to gather his thoughts “Aunt Lucy, I can’t seem to remember what happened exactlyb. /bbI /bremember seeing Mr. Alvarez Then, Tracy showed up not long after

It was no wonder that she couldn’t find him

Hansel nodded

Suddenly, Lucy’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Carly’s wrist abruptly and said, “Carly, hurry up! Go find Mr. Alvitez immediately!”

Carly was puzzledb. /b“What?b” /b

Lucy was right. They haven’t lost just wrt.

Carly rushed off to find him

A virious smirk tugged on the corner of Lacy’s lips. Shritsed to let Celine win.

In her mind, she believed that as long as Adam loved Carly, there was no way that Celine would win

Back at Westwood Vi, Adam was still in the shower,

bCeline/bb, /bon the odier hand, was prepared to leave,
