The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 563

Damn it! Lucy had been exposed!

Hayden had figured everything out!

What was she supposed to do now?

Panic gripped her as she stepped forward, her voice shaking. "Honey, no! You've got it all wrong! Celine is my biological daughter! Carly is Mr. Hampton's real daughter!"

Hayden's eyes blazed with fury as he pointed a finger at her. "You know my duty has always been to protect the true heiress of the Hampton family. That's why I never had children of my own! You knew how much this meant to me!"

"I know, Hayden! Please, calm down! Carly is the real heiress!" Lucy pleaded, reaching out to grab his arm.

"Don't touch me!"

With a shove, Hayden pushed her away.

Lucy stumbled back, crashing into the wall.

Hayden's chest rose and fell with anger, his patience snapping. "I'm putting an end to this right now! I'm going straight to Mr. Hampton and Celine. A DNA test will prove everything. Once Mr. Hampton, Carly, and Celine take that test-there will be no more lies!"

His decision was final. He was going to expose everything.

Lucy's entire body went cold. She shook her head desperately, her hands trembling.
