Chapter 495
Mary glared at Lucy and snapped, “And you! You shameless woman! How dare you show up here? You seduced your own brother-in-law, plotted against your own daughter, and Carly is just like you! Today, I’ll teach you a lesson too!”
With that, Mary swung her cane down on Lucy.
A brutal beating followed, raining down on both Lucy and Carly. The two of them sobbed in pain.
As Hailey watched the scene, she almost wanted to clap her hands in approval. Mary truly lived up to her reputation. When she acted, she didn’t hold back.
Once Mary was exhausted, she finally stopped and turned to Adam. “Do you realize your mistake now?”
Adam’s expression remained indifferent. “Grandma, if you want to hit me, just say so. No need to make up excuses.”
Mary was speechless.
Hailey shot Adam a sharp look. “Adam, do you even know that Celine is in trouble?”
Adam’s tall, strong frame tensed instantly. “What happened to Celine? That’s impossible. I just saw her earlier, and she was completely fine.”
She had been more than fine-she had been full of energy, yelling at him and even hitting him.
How could something have happened to her so suddenly?
Mary interjected, “Celine is in the hospital!”
Adam’s tone changed immediately, laced with tension. “She’s in the hospital? Where is she? What happened?”
Mary glared at him. “Celine is pregnant. Did you know that?”
The word “pregnant” struck a nerve in Adam. He clenched his fists and said, “I know.”
Mary was furious. “You knew she was pregnant, yet you still chose to spend time with this shameless
Carly? Adam, do you even have an et
conscience? Celine isn’t alone anymore-she’s carrying a child! She needs someone to take care of her!”
Adam pursed his lips. “If she’s pregnant and needs care, then arrange for someone to take care of her.”
Mary pointed a trembling finger at him. “What are you saying? The child in Celine’s belly is yours! Is this how you act as a father?”
Adam looked at Mary. “Did Celine tell you the child is mine?”
Mary was stunned. “Celine is still
unconscious. She hasn’t told menet
anything. Wait, what kind of
question is that? Of course, the child is yours! Who else could it be?”
Adam remained silent.
Hailey caught on to the implication. “Adam, what are you saying? Do you doubt that the baby is yours?”
Mary gasped, shocked beyond words. “Is that what you think? You actually suspect Celine of carrying another man’s child?”
Adam lowered his gaze and remained silent.
Mary raised her hand and delivered a hard slap across Adam’s face.
The sharp, resounding slap echoed through the room. Adam’s head snapped to the side from the force.
Silence filled the room, and the atmosphere grew heavy with tension.
Lucy and Carly exchanged glances as their minds raced with a thousand thoughts.
Leo stood frozen, not daring to
make a sound. Mary and Adam had always shared a close bond, and this
was the first time Mary had ever been so furious with him.
