Chapter 104
Lucy’s mind buzzed, her thoughts freezing for a moment. She suddenly recalled that when Larry escaped, she had indeed taken him in. Shocked, she turned to Celine. “Was it you?”
It was Celine who orchestrated Larry’s release through Leo. She had anticipated that Larry would run straight to the Tate family.
Celine met Lucy’s gaze with an innocent expression and a faint smile curling her lips. “I don’t understand what you’re accusing me of, Mom. You don’t owe me an explanation. Save it for the authorities.”
“How dare you!” Lucy’s voice cracked.
From the distance, Larty, how retrained by the police, let out a desperate cry. “I don’t want to go to jail! Mrs. Tate, save me! Please, save me!”
The crowd’s eyes shifted sharply to Lucy. The whispers started, spreading like wildfire. Her reputation as a good mother was completely ruined.
Lucy’s expression changed as she panicked. “Shut up! Make him stop!”
The reporters started discussing among themselves. “Didn’t that man go to prison ten years ago for molesting a child? Are we supposed to believe she didn’t know?
“And she still associate herself with someone who harmed her own daughter? What kind of mother does that?”
“Didn’t you hear? Mrs. Tate’s the ultimate pick–me. First for Hayden, now for Carly.”
The phrase “ultimate pick–me” hit Lucy like a slap to the face. She didn’t like that nickname and was flushed with anger.
“No, it’s not like that! That’s not true!” She wanted to defend herself, but the two officers standing on either side of her gripped her arms firmly and escorted her away.
Carly stayed frozen in place. She panicked, and her face went blank.
With that, she turned and walked away.
Robin couldn’t hold back a laugh as she hurried to follow Celine.
Benjamin stood there in silence. Did she just ask him to have some nut milk for his brain? Was she implying that he was stupid?
Whatever guilt he had felt moments ago vanished in an instant. His face darkened as he shouted, “Celine! Come back and explain yourself!”
It was then that Carly approached Benjamin, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She couldn’t afford to lose him. “Benjamin, I don’t know how things turned out like this. I had no idea Larry was such a monster.”
Benjamin’s expression turned sour at the mention of Larry. “Don’t bring up that bastard. He’s done for. He’ll rot in prison! And Carly, don’t blame yourself. You’re kind and beautiful. You were deceived like the rest of us.”
