The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 618

"Celine is the root of all my problems. Once she's gone, everything will be mine," Carly declared coldly.

At that moment, she was fixated on one thing-Celine's death.

Lucy's gaze turned dark, and a dangerous glint crept into them. "Celine should have died long ago. I thought leaving her in the countryside as a child would do the job, but now... it's time for her to disappear for good."

Carly stared at her. "This is on you now. You need to handle it. I want you to kill Celine."

Lucy froze, disbelief washing over her. "What? Carly... you want me to do it?"

"Who else is there?" Carly retorted. "It's too dangerous to involve anyone else. Don't forget, Dad and Adam are both around. One wrong step, and everything will fall apart. It has to be you. You're my mother-you love me, don't you? You've always done whatever it takes for me."

In the past, Carly had distanced herself from Lucy, often treating her with disdain. But now, everything had changed. She clutched Lucy's hand tightly, her expression filled with desperation.

Lucy felt her heart soften despite everything. After all, Carly was her flesh and blood. "Alright, Carly. I'll take care of it."

Carly's face lit up as she embraced Lucy. "Thank you, Mom! I knew you'd come through for me. I love you. You're the best."

Lucy returned the embrace. "Everything I've done has always been for you, my dear."

With that, Carly's smile vanished, her expression hardening into something cold and calculating. Celine had to die. Hayden had to die. And soon, Lucy would have to die as well.
