    Hailey was not putting on an act. She wasying her cards on the table and revealing her identity


    Carly’s brain was fried, unable to think clearly anymore. She could not believe Halley was Allie


    Carly and Melody had hunted high and low in Yorhine University for Allie. And now, the person they desperately wanted to make connections with


    Carly refused to believe it, thinking the heavens were ying a joke on her. Even Melody stood rooted to the spot.


    Haileyughed. “Carly, Adam says you really want to be my friend. So why aren’t you talking now? Weren’t you rather talkative earlier?”


    Hailey sat on the couch with Linda and the bodyguards standing behind her with reverence Meanwhile, Hailey watched a pathetic–looking Carly in


    Carly was stumped. She could not help but recall the <b>words </b>she said earlier to insult Hailey before discovering thetter’s true identity.


    Melody stuttered, “H–Hailey, you-


    However, Hailey shot a look at Melody, saying, “Don’t interrupt. I wasn’t talking to you.”


    Melody immediately fell silent


    Linda scoffed. “Melody, your father is only from the lesser branch of the Alvarez family. Mr. Alvarez helped him only because he begged Mr. Alvarez two years ago.


    “Meanwhile, you were smart enough to suck up to Mrs. Alvarez Senior. That’s how you got to where u are today.


    “Hmph. You got to where you are now with just pure luck. You have no right to interrupt Ms. Hailey,”


    Linda’s words instantly exposed Melody’s unimpressive background, leaving thetter’s face pale.


    Turning to Carly, Hailey said, “Oh, right. You gave me a limited edition beg yesterday.”


    Linda handed the bag to Hailey, who fiddled with it for a while. “The bag is quite pretty, but I don’t like it.” With a thud, she threw the bag into the bin. Carly froze with shock


    Halley continued to stare ar Carly and said, “I know Adam likes you and wants to marry <b>you</b>, but that has nothing to do with me.


    “To me, I only have one sister–inw, that is Celine. You will never rece her. You’ll never find the <b>easy </b>way out through me.”


    Carly’s face was as pale as a short. After all, Hailey had rejected her and even objected to her joining the Lamberts.


    There was no way Carly could marry Adam now that Mary <b>and </b>the Lamberts did not like her. Even worse, Hailey liked Celine and only approved her as the sister–inw.


    Finally, Carly lowered her ego and forced the words out. “A–Allie, surely there’s some misunderstanding between us. Celine must’ve badmouthed me to you I can exin things-”


    Hailey curled her lips. “Carly, <b>do </b>you know why


    Carly shook her head in response


    why Lasked you toe here today?”


    “Adam says you want to win my <b>favor</b>. So I wanted to see what you look like when you’re sucking up to someone. <b>I’ve </b>got to say, it’s really interesting.” Hailey pped for Carly. Humiliated, Carly clenched her fist so tightly that her fingers dug into her palm. Hailey had trampled on everything Carly had pride in


    “Get these two out of the house,” Linda ordered.


    The bodyguards behind them marched forward and grabbed hold of Carly and Melody.


    “Let go of me! Hailey, I’m the one Adam cares for the most. You wouldn’t dare to hurt a single halt on my head<b>.</b>” Finally, Carly used Adam’s name, However, Hailey got to her feet, not the slightest bit terrified.


    “Carly, let’s be clear about this. This is my house, not the Alvarez’s. Throw them out now.


    “Got it, Ms. Hailey,” responded the guards. Before Carly and Melody could even put up a fight, they were thrown out of the house, and the door was shut


    behind them.
