Chapter 106 Chapter 106 He saw Lucy on the TV, and the smile vanished from Haydens face while he froze.
With a microphone in hand, the reporter said, Who says being a pickme isnt an economy? Hats off to this suspect, as shes the ultimate pickme.
Shes doing it with such flair, such passion… Hayden remained silent.
The three businessmen didnt bother hiding their distaste.
They pushed back their chairs and got up.
Hayden hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
Gentlemen, please wait… The trio glanced at him, their lips curled into a sardonic smile.
Mr.
Tate, youre really something.
We could never hope to match your charm.
With that parting shot, they walked out.
Today, the ultimate pickme, Lucy, had her moment of infamy.
Her antics dragged Hayden into the spotlight as a subject of ridicule among the businessmen.
Haydens face darkened as he threw the glass on the floor with all his might.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was Carly.
Dad, something terrible happened! The press conference was a disaster.
Moms been arrested! You need to get a lawyer and get her out now! Carly cried out.
Outside the police station, the night dragged on as Hayden, accompanied by a lawyer, finally managed to get Lucy released.
Lucys face was pale.
This was the first time in her life she had set foot inside a jail.

Honey, I can explain… The sharp sound of Haydens slap echoed in the room.
His hand left a vivid red imprint across Lucys face, her head snapping to the side from the force of the blow.
Haydens face darkened.
Youve made me a laughingstock! How the hell am I supposed to face anyone in the business world now? Lucy, youve ruined me! Lucy clutched her stinging cheek, but she dared not speak.
Her humiliation turned to seething anger toward Celine.
This was all her fault! Carly stood silently to the side, her expression indifferent as she watched Lucy get slapped.
She made no move to intervene.
In her eyes, Lucy was just a stepmother, not her real mother.
Dad, what do we do now? Hayden turned to Carly and said, Carly, Ive noticed Mr.
Alvarezs attitude toward Celine has changed.
Hes the key to everything.
You need to make sure he stays firmly in your comer.
Carly let out a cold laugh.
Lifting her chin proudly, she declared, Dad, do you think Celine actually believes Adam likes her? Shes delusional.
Ill show her her place soon enough.
Even now, Carly didnt see Celine as a threat.
Sure, Celine had won a few rounds lately.
However, when it came to Adam, Celine would never win.
She could try if she didnt believe it! Celine had just returned to Alvarez Residence when her phone buzzed.
It was a call from Carly.
Celine, are you free? Lets grab some coffee, Carly said.
