The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 449

Carly froze in panic. "I..."

Her eyes darted to Lucy in desperation.

Without missing a beat, Lucy stepped forward. "It wasn't Carly! It was me! I was the one who contacted Scarface and planned the whole kidnapping!"

Celine watched Lucy carefully. She was really willing to take the fall for Carly.

Celine sneered, finding it ironic how Lucy was willing to protect Carly like a devoted mother.

She was Lucy's biological daughter, yet Lucy had always treated Carly like her own while casting her aside. What had she done to deserve this?

No matter how cold she tried to be, the betrayal still stung.

Gasps spread through the crowd.

"Mrs. Tate, was it really you?" Hailey questioned. "Mrs. Tate, Celine is your own daughter! You actually hired criminals to kidnap her? Were you trying to have her killed?"

Lucy hadn't expected the truth to come out like this, but she couldn't let Carly take the blame. If she did, her reputation would be ruined, and Adam would never forgive her.
