Chapter 523
Hayden made the call, and a satisfied smile appeared on Lucy’s face.
Her daughter had finally reached this moment. She was about to soar!
Lucy walked out from the stairwell. Sonia, Tracy, Wayne, and Hazel were all looking at her anxiously. Sonia asked, “Has Hayden made his decision?”
Lucy nodded. “Yes, he’s on the phone right now.”
Sonia excitedly tapped her cane against the floor. “Yes… Excellent.”
Tracy still looked confused. “Grandma, who is he calling?’
“Tracy, you don’t need to know the details. Just understand that a major figure from Capitol is coming to Mercity. We need to prepare for his arrival.”
Tracy looked at Sonia and Lucy. Both of them seemed revitalized, their eyes gleaming with excitement. Even though Tracy didn’t know who this person from Capitol was, she could feel it-this person had the power to change the fate of the entire Tate family.
Even Adam and Celine might be powerless to stop that from happening.
“So, we don’t need to save Carly anymore?” Tracy asked.
Lucy smiled. “Yeah. That person from Capitol will handle it. We have nothing to worry about.”
Celine returned to her apartment.
Perry sighed. “Celine, so this is why you came back to Mercity to find Mr. Alvarez. So, you two have a history. But it’s a shame that he mistook someone else for you. All these years, he’s been protecting Carly instead.”
Hailey and Robin had also come back with them.
Robin scoffed. “I think Mr. Alvarez must’ve been blind all these years. Celine was married to him for so long, yet he had always sided with Carly and had hurt Celine so much. Celine, you’d better not forgive him so easily.”
Hailey nodded. “Celine was almost forced onto the operating table by Carly’s people. If Celine hadn’t escaped, both she and the baby would’ve been in danger. Mr. Alvarez is such a fool!”
Even though Adam was Hailey’s cousin, she refused to take his side.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
The ringing continued urgently due to the incessant pressing by the person
outside. They seemed to be in a hurry.
“Who is it? I’ll get the door.”
Hailey walked over and opened it.
Standing outside was a tall, refined figure-Adam.
Hailey frowned. “Mr. Alvarez, what are you doing here?”
Adam’s gaze swept past her. “Where’s Celine? I need to see her.”
He tried to step inside, but Hailey blocked the doorway.
“Mr. Alvarez, why are you looking for Celine? You should go find Carly- instead. She has a heart condition and needs you by her side every second of the day.”
Adam could hear the thick sarcasm in her voice, but he knew he
deserved it. He had been in the
wrong. But right now, he only
wanted to see Celine. He ha@too
much to say to her.
“I need to see Celine. Step aside.”
Hailey stood firm. “Mr. Alvarez, this
is
see
home. Even if you
ant to
you need to acquire her
permission first.”
Adam clenched his fists at his sides. “Fine, go ask her. Tell her I want to see her.”
“Please wait here, Mr. Alvarez.”
Hailey shut the door and walked back into the living room.
Robin looked at her and asked, “Hailey, who is it? It’s Mr. Alvarez, isn’t it?”
