ight want to get that checked out first.”
David glanced at Hamden’s bruised face and chuckled. “Mr. Tate, you might want
with that, they got into their cars and drove off
Hayden returned to the living room. His face was dark with anger. He walked up to Lucy and roared, “Look at what you’ve done! You made me look like a complete fool!” Lucy was still reeling from the fiasco herselt. She didn’t understand what went wrong she thought that she had everything planned out perfectly!
She tugged at Hayden’s sleeves. “Honey, please! Let me explain…”
away and picked up his blazer. “I new want to see you again!”
Hayden immediately pushed her aw
With that, he stormed oft
Lucy stood there frozen on the spot. With the large scratch marks on her face and neck, she looked like a complete 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 explain.”
But Garly pushed her away coldly. “Mom, what’s gotten into you lately? I’m so disappointed in you.
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 sorry, Aunt Lucy!”
She immediately grabbed Hansel by the collar. “Hansel, what happened? Why Celine replaced by Tracy?”
Hansel tried his best to gather his thoughts “Aunt Lucy, I can’t seem to remember what happened exactly. I remember seeing Mr. Alvarez Then, Tracy showed up not long after
I had already inhaled the aphrodisiac at that point and couldn’t tell who was who..
Carly jumped up from her seat in shock, “What did you say? Adam was in the room too?
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 puzzled. “What?”
“If Mr. Alvarez was in that room, that means that he must’ve inhaled the aphrodisiac. We haven’t lost just yet. Hurry up and go findhim. You mustn’t lose your chance of becoming his woman tonight!”
Carly’s eyes widened with realization. Why hadn’t she thought of this earlier? it Adam was under the influence of an aphrodisiac, he would undoubtedly need her tonight. Carly biber lips nervously. She hesitated. She had not fully ghen in to Adan just yet.
She was always cautious about how she approached relationships, maintaining her boundaries until she felt it was truly the right time.
That was why she only flirted playfully with him but never let things go further than that.
Tonight, she was willing to make an exception on one condition–he had to divorce Celine
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 Villa, Adam was still in the shower,
Celine, on the odier hand, was prepared to leave,
Although Adam had inhaled the aphrodisiac, he clearly didn’t need her help. Therefore, there was no reason for her to stay, Suddenly, hec phone rang it was Nathan.
celine answered the phone. “Celine, where are you? Let’s go racing tonight,” Nathan’s lively volce echoed through the phone. Just then, the bathroom done opened, and Adam stepped out. His body was sumended by a cold mist from the shower.
