Celine clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, breaking off in the process.
Her clear, sharp eyes turned red with a mix of shock, anger, heartbreak, and searing pain. Emotions intertwined within her heart, leaving her with an unbearable ache.
She had already suspected that Aaron had been murdered by these people, but hearing the truth still shook her to the core. It was the Tates. They had conspired to kill him, but what made it even more devastating was that these weren't just strangers一they were Aaron's own family.
Although Aaron had been adopted, he had always treated Sonia as his real mother.
When Sonia arrived, Aaron had stopped struggling. But it was Sonia who had personally poured the poison into Aaron's mouth.
The thought of Aaron's final moments—how much pain and hopelessness he must have felt—was almost unbearable. In his final moments, he had called Celine's name.
Tears welled up in Celine's bloodshot eyes.
She didn't know what Aaron had been thinking in his final moments. She had not seen him at his last moments. Trembling, her long lashes fluttered, and tears fell freely down her face.
Lucy watched Celine's pain with a twisted sense of satisfaction. This was the child of that woman, the burden that Hayden had sworn to protect. Seeing her in agony, Lucy felt an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.
Lucy smirked, "Celine, I'm not afraid to tell you all of this. Even if I do, there's nothing you can do about it."
Celine stepped back, but Hailey quickly caught her.
Hailey asked with concern, "Celine, are you okay?"
Celine shook her head. "I'm fine."
Hailey shot Lucy a furious glare. "You monster! None of you are human! Karma will catch up to you!"
Lucy sneered, "Karma? Where's it? We've been living just fine all these years. The Tate family is thriving, while you? Celine, you were abandoned in the countryside as a child. Carly stole your identity as Adam's savior, and now, she's the Hampton heiress.
A team of black-suited bodyguards flanked him, clearing a path through the crowd. Dressed in a tailored black coat, he exuded an air of absolute power and control. His butler followed closely behind, and Nigel's sheer presence caused a stir.
Carly's eyes lit up as she ran toward him. She eagerly linked her arm through his. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
Nigel looked at her with affection. "I came to check on you."
She smiled. "I'm fine, Dad. Don't worry."
The sales associates gathered around, excitedly whispering to each other. "Is that Mr. Hampton, the world's richest man?"
"He's so charming!"
The sales associates were practically swooning. In his early 40s, Nigel was in the prime of his life. With his wealth, status, and influence at their peak, he was the ultimate temptation, especially for young women.
