The Divorce Prescription

Several bodyguards entered and restrained Lucy.

Sonia cradled Hayden's body, weeping bitterly. "Hayden! Hayden! I should be the one to die instead of you! I shouldn't be the one to bury my child!"

The Tates began preparing for Hayden's funeral.

Carly, however, was restless. She was terrified that Lucy might let something slip as she was still in Nigel's custody.

Carly went to find Nigel, who was speaking to Eren in his study.

She quickly hid outside the door and eavesdropped.

Inside, Nigel asked, "Has Lucy confessed anything?"

Eren responded in a low voice, "She's keeping her mouth shut, refusing to say anything. But the fingerprints on the knife belong to her, and the evidence against her for murder is solid."

Eren then hesitated before adding, "Sir, what exactly are you hoping to uncover?" Nigel pressed his lips together thoughtfully. "I don't know. I just have this feeling that Lucy is hiding something. And whatever it is, it's related to Carly."

Eren was surprised. "Ms. Hampton?"

Nigel stood up and walked over to the window. "Haven't you noticed something strange about Carly? We both know how she was poisoned-she did it to herself. If I'm not mistaken, her real target was Celine."

Eren nodded. "Sir, I've served you for many years. I must say, Ms. Hampton's character leaves much to be desired. On the other hand, I've interacted with Ms. Celine—she's intelligent and straightforward."
