Sonia explained, "Celine's father wasn't my biological son. He was adopted. Over the years, Carly has always been by Lucy's side, so naturally, Lucy treats her as her own daughter."
She offered a brief explanation.
Nigel didn't respond right away. Instead, he turned to Celine. "Celine, I'll believe you for now."
Celine said, "Thanks, Mr. Hampton."
"But I need you to cure Carly."
Celine arched her brow as she said, "Mr. Hampton, you just said you believe me. If I wasn't the one who poisoned her, why should I be the one to cure her?"
Lucy snapped, "Celine, do you think Mr. Hampton is being too polite with you?"
Sonia said, "Celine, you should know your place. No one talks to Mr. Hampton like that."
Celine ignored them both. She kept her gaze on Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, I have no obligation to cure Carly. Are you asking for my help?"
Nigel studied her, taking in her calm intelligence. Suddenly, he smirked.
She really was interesting. No one had ever spoken to him this way before.
Nigel nodded. "Yes, I'm asking for your help. Celine, please cure my daughter."
Lucy glared at Celine with pure hatred, as if she wanted to burn a hole through her with just her eyes.
Nigel was actually indulging her. Was this the power of blood ties?
Family always came first.
Celine was Nigel's biological daughter and also the heiress of the Hampton fortune.
Celine asked, "Mr. Hampton, is this how you ask for a favor? Without showing any sincerity?"
Sonia and Lucy were livid. "Mr. Hampton!"
Celine smiled as she said, "Thanks, Mr. Hampton."
Her eyes gleamed with clever mischief, like a fox sizing up its prey. Nigel felt his mood lighten to see this. "Now that I've agreed, will you cure my daughter?"
Celine nodded. "Sure. Could you lead the way?"
Then, Nigel took her to Carly's room. She lay still on the bed. Her face was ashen, and her lips were tinted blue. It was a clear sign of poisoning.
Celine said, "She's been poisoned."
Lucy remarked, "Did we need you to tell us that? Mr. Hampton already called in top doctors, but none of them could cure her."
Nigel asked, "Celine, are you able to cure her?"

So it's Fiona and Nigel story now? Not Celine and Adam? What happened to this story? What I want I want is for them to find the truth about their real daughter.. you're just making the story long when will Carly punished with all her wrong doings.....
Now for next I want the two of them to know their daughter is always with them this whole time. Don't go another path now dear Author coz I'm getting tired of seeing Carly's name ruining Celine's life....
All I want is Nigel and Fiona to discover Celine as their daughter and kill that Carly b*tch πππ...
