"Carly, I''m your mother! How can you be so heartless..." Lucymented.


    With a thud, Carly dropped to her knees in front of Lucy, clutching at the hem of


    her pants.


    "Mom, I have no other choice. You have to disappear. If you love me, help me. I''m begging you."


    Lucy looked at Carly, her heart breaking into pieces. She suddenly let out a bitterugh.


    So, this was her fate.


    She should have known the moment Hayden died. The moment she lost his protection, she was next.


    The truth about Carly''s identity had to be buried at the cost of their lives.


    Lucy slowly closed her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Celine returned from the hospital.


    Her baby was healthy. But the doctor had warned her-her pregnancy was still unstable. She needed careful rest.


    However, something felt off about how Hayden died to save her.


    Celine looked at Sonia and asked, "Where''s Lucy?"


    Sonia''s eyes were red and swollen from crying. "Don''t mention that wretched woman. She killed my son! I want her dead!"


    Just then, Nigel approached. "Celine."


    Celine turned to him. "Lucy tried to kill me. Hayden took the knife for me and died instead."


    Nigel nodded. "I know."


    "Then do you also know that Carly was involved?"


    Nigel frowned. "What do you mean?"


    "Carly and Lucy entered together. Lucy may have been the one holding the knife, but Carly was also an aplice."


    Nigel frowned. "Celine, Carly is my daughter."


    Before Celine could reply, Adam spoke from her side.


    "Mr. Hampton, even if Carly is your daughter, you can''t just ignore her crimes. In fact, with her being your daughter, it''s your responsibility to discipline her."


    Nigel remained silent.


    Celine asked, "Where''s Lucy? I want to see her."


    Nigel replied, "She''s locked up. I''ll take you there."


    Celine nodded. "Alright."


    She needed to question Lucy about Hayden''s death. She had this nagging feeling that something was off.

    The three of them stepped inside.


    "Lucy, I need to ask you about Hayden''s—" Celine started to ask but stopped mid- sentence.


    Lucy was lying in a pool of blood.


    Celine''s eyes widened in shock. She rushed forward and chucked for a pulse.

    With that, Lucy had taken all the secrets along with her.
