The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 774

Celine countered coldly, "You're lying! Carly, we all heard it just now. You knew all along it was Anne who used the venom on Ms. Jakeman—your own mother—yet you still sided with the woman who tried to kill her!"

"That's right, Carly. We heard every single word clearly. Stop trying to deny it!" Hailey added angrily.

Nigel, Fiona, Adam, Celine, and Hailey were all staring at her with icy gaze, leaving Carly with no room to escape. She felt her heart sink to rock bottom.

Nigel turned to Anne. "Anne, don't you think you owe me an explanation?"

Nigel froze.
