Chapter 448
The murmurs of the crowd immediately quieted down
Lucy smirked triumphantly, “Celine, I know you hate me, but you can’t just stand by and let Carly die, can you?”
Carly quickly chimed in, “Celine, you know I have a heart condition. Adam even spent a fortune to ask you to treat me, but you refo so heartless?”
refused. You wanted to watch me die. How can you be
Carly and Lucy were tag–teaming, bringing up the issue of Carly’s heart condition to shift the blame onto Celine.
Celine had expected this. She knew the duo had come prepared with a plan to comer her.
Celine’s gaze was icy as she replied. “Carly, do you really not know why I didn’t want to save you?”
Carly immediately put on a pitiful expression. “Celine, what did I do wrong? I was just a child back then. Why are you talking out your hatred for Mom on me? I’m innocent!” “Innocent? Did you not conspire with those kidnappers to kill me?” Celine shot back.
Carly froze. Did Celine know?
Celine looked at Lucy and Carly with a cold smile. “Did you really think I wouldn’t find out? Those kidnappers were hired by you. You wanted me dead!” The crowd gasped in shock
Adam pursed his lips as he turned to Carly. “Carly, did you do this?”
you’d
u’d better have prod
proof!”
Carly quickly shook her head. “Adam, Celine is lying! Don’t believe her! Celine, don’t slander me like this. If you’re going to accuse me, Lucy immediately stood by Carly’s side. “Celine, I know you hate me, but don’t make up such outrageous lies. Carly is kind–hearted. How could we ever do something like that?” Just then, Perry appeared. “Mrs. Tate, Carly, you two really know how to act. The Oscars owe you both a Best Actress award.” “Mr.Marshall!”
The crowd parted to make way for Perry as he walked over to Celine’s side.
Perry turned to Adam. “Mr. Alvarez, don’t you find it suspicious why those kidnappers targeted both Celine and Carly and then forced you to choose between them?“” Adam’s cold, piercing gate locked onto Carly, making her shudder under its intensity.
Ferry pulled out a USB drive. “This contains the bank transfer records between Carly and Scarface. Mr. Alvarez, everything will become clear once you see this.”
He handed the USB drive to Adam.
Adam reached out to take it, but Carly suddenly snatched it away. “Adam, don’t look at it!
Adam’s expression darkened as he stared at Carly. “Why can’t I see it? Carly, I’m giving you one chance to come clean. There’s a big difference between you confessing and me finding out the truth myself.”
Carly was visibly shaken. She had thought their plan was foolproof, that no one would ever find out.
Celine was supposed to die in that warehouse. If she had died, none of this would have happened.
Celine shot Carly cold, mocking smile. “Carly, do you really think you can keep covering up the truth? Secrets don’t stay burled forever. You’re the one behind all of this!”
