Chapter 615
Hayden opened his mouth, attempting to speak, but only incoherent, garbled sounds escaped.
“Celine, why can’t he speak properly yet?” Sonia asked.
Lucy felt a slight relief. She was terrified that Hayden might suddenly speak and expose everything, but he still couldn’t form coherent words.
She quickly moved closer, gently taking Hayden’s hand in hers. “Honey, what’s wrong? Is there something you need to tell me? I’m here for you take your time.”
While watching him carefully, Celine replied, “I’ve used silver needles to help him regain consciousness, but he’s not able to speak just yet. He’ll need more time to fully recover.”
“Don’t worry, Hayden. You’ll get better soon,” Sonia reassured him.
Hayden’s bloodshot eyes remained locked on Lucy, his silence speaking louder than any words could.
Just then, the maid rushed in. “Mrs. Tate Senior, I have good news!”
Sonia looked up. “What is it?”
“Mrs. Tate Senior, Ms. Carly has woken up!” the maid exclaimed.
What? Carly was awake?
Lucy’s face lit up with joy. “Really? Carly’s awake? That’s incredible!”
Sonia couldn’t hide her excitement either. After all, Carly was the daughter of the wealthiest man, and her recovery would bring immense wealth to the Tate family. “Quick, prepare the car! I need to see Carly!”
Celine’s expression darkened. She hadn’t finished the antidote yet, yet Carly had awakened on her own. This was certainly odd.
Inside the room, Carly had finally woken up and was sitting on the bed. Nigel stood by her side, watching over her. “Carly, do you feel any discomfort?” he asked.
Though her complexion was slightly pale, Carly appeared to be in great spirits. As the daughter of the wealthiest man, she was relishing the prime of her life.
She wrapped her arm around Nigel’s, leaning into him with a playful pout. “Dad, I still feel a little dizzy.”
“Should I call the doctor?”
“It’s fine, just stay with me, Dad. That’s all I need.”
At that moment, Celine, Sonia, and Lucy entered the room. Lucy’s face lit up with joy as she exclaimed, “Carly, can’t believe you’re awake! What happened? How did you get poisoned? You really scared me!”
Equally relieved, Sonia added, “Carly, we’re so glad you’re awake. You mean so much to us. If anything had happened to you under our care, how could we ever face Mr. Hampton?”
Carly’s lips curled into a confident, almost smug smile.
Celine watched her closely, noting that Carly appeared to have made a recovery from the poisoning.
“Dad, do you know why I suddenly got poisoned?” Carly spoke up. “Someone did this to me on purpose!”
Sonia and Lucy were both stunned. “Carly, who would poison you? Who would dare harm the daughter of the world’s wealthiest man? The audacity!”
Nigel spoke softly, trying to calm Carly. “Do you know who did this?”
Without hesitation, Carly pointed straight at Celine. “Dad, it was Celine who poisoned me!”
Celine stayed composed, not a trace of surprise on her face. She had been expecting this accusation.
The room fell silent as everyone turned their gaze toward Celine. Lucy was the first to react, jumping to her feet. “Damn it, Celine, so it was really you who poisoned Carly, huh?

“Mr. Hampton, I told you before that Celine was behind this, but you didn’t believe me. Now that Carly’s awake and pointing the finger at her, surely you believe me now right?”
Nigel frowned but said nothing.
Celine stepped forward, her eyes locking with Carly’s. “If you’re going to accuse
me of poisoning you, do you have any proof to back it up?”
Carly immediately responded, “Dad, the moment I spoke to Celine that day, I started feeling ill. It has to be her.”
