Chapter 556
Celine tugged at Perry’s sleeve and shook her head. “Perry, it’s fine. I’ll go to Tate Manor.”
Perry lowered his voice, saying, “Celine, this has to be a setup. If you go to Tate Manor, you’re walking straight into a trap.”
Celine glanced at Eren and said, “I trust Mr. Hampton. He won’t let anything happen to me.”
Perry still wasn’t convinced. “But Celine…”
“Perry, just let me go to Tate Manor. I want to see what kind of poison Carly was exposed to.”
Upon seeing the quiet determination in her clear eyes, Perry had no choice but to relent. “Alright then, just be careful.”
Celine nodded. “I will.”
Eren said, “Ms. Celine, this way please.”
Then, Celine left with Eren.
Hailey and Robin tried to step forward, but the bodyguards blocked their way. They could only watch anxiously as Celine was led away.
“Celine!” they called out, worry written all over their faces.
Celine gave them a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
She stepped into the sleek black car, and it sped off into the distance.
Robin anxiously asked, “What kind of scheme is Carly pulling this time?”
Hailey frowned. “She’s the daughter of the richest man in the world, and now that she has his backing, she’s acting out again. I just don’t get it. How does someone like her have such luck? How can the world’s richest man have a daughter like that?”
Neither of them could make sense of it.
Just then, a Rolls-Royce Phantom sped toward them.
Adam had arrived.
He rushed out of the car and ran up to them. “Celine! Where is she? Did she leave?”
Hailey looked at him and said, “Mr. Alvarez, you’re too late.”
Adam turned toward the airport, feeling his chest tightening. Was he too late again? Had he missed her?
“Celine…”
“Mr. Alvarez, Celine didn’t leave. Mr. Hampton took her to Tate Manor.”
Adam froze. Then, he looked at Hailey and asked, “Can you tell me everything?”
For a moment, he had thought Celine was already gone.
“Mr. Alvarez, there’s an arranged marriage between the Alvarez and Hampton families. Both Mr. Hampton and Carly are after Céline, so she could be in danger in Tate Manor,” Robin said.
Clenching his fists, Adam said, “I’m going to get her.”
Without another word, he got into his car and sped toward Tate Manor.
Celine was brought to Tate Manor The moment Lucy saw her, she shot to her feet and shouted, “Celine
What did you do to Carly? What kind of poison did you give her?”
Celine looked at Lucy calmly and asked, “How do you know it was me?”
“Who else could it be? That day at the boutique, Carly was fine until she spoke to you. As soon as she got home, she fell ill. The doctor confirmed she was poisoned!”
While pointing at Celine, Sonia condemned her, “Celine, how could you? Were you trying to kill Carly by poisoning her? How could you be so cruel?”
Celine’s lips curled into a faint smile. Her gaze swept over Sonia and Lucy before she let out a soft chuckle “Oh? So you do understand that poisoning someone is cruel.9 thought you didn’t. ‘FindNovel
“After all, when you two worked together to poison my father, did you not think
that was cruel? What gives you the right to stand here and accuse me?”
Sonia’s expression turned grim. “Celine! Who gave you the right to speak to me that way?”
Lucy looked at Celine with a cold expression and said, “Celine, you’ve gone too far this time.”
Lucy raised her hand, aiming to slap Celine across the face.
