Chapter 542 The sales associates were well-informed about the gossip of the upper class, so the news about Nigel had reached their ears. They were now abuzz with excitement. Carly raised her chin proudly. "Let me share something with all of you-I am the long-lost heiress of the world's wealthiest man!" The sales associates gasped in astonishment. "Oh my goodness, really? You're the Hampton heiress?" Lucy smiled brightly. "Indeed, it's true. Mr. Hampton is currently staying with our family.

He's here to escort Carly back to the Capitol." Carly handed the sales associate the elegant black card with gold lettering that Nigel had given her. "Feel free to charge this." The sales associate took the card and noticed the gold-embossed name on the back-Hampton. Their eyes widened in amazement. "Oh my, this is Mr. Hampton's card! She truly is the Hampton heiress!" "I can't believe the Hampton heiress is shopping here! I must take a photo and share it online!

This is a story I'll boast about for years to come!" Carly enjoyed the flattery. She had always been vain, and now she relished the attention and admiration. Just then, Tracy suddenly spoke up. "Celine, what brings you here?" Carly turned and saw Celine standing at the entrance with Hailey. Catching sight of Celine, Carly's smirk grew wider. "Oh, you're here? Last night, my father gave me this card and instructed me to shop to my heart's content.

Since we are acquainted and now that I am the Hampton heiress, why don't I purchase something for you?" Tracy chuckled. "Carly, you are so generous." Carly shrugged. "Naturally. I'll consider it a charitable act." Lucy pretended to disapprove. "Carly, how can you say that? Celine might feel offended. After all, you are the Hampton heiress." Then, she turned to Celine and mockingly said, "Celine, isn't it amusing how fate works?

You worked diligently to become the prodigy of Haffard University and earn the title of Dr. C, but what does it amount to? Carly is the Hampton heiress. Whether you are a genius or a doctor, you will end up serving the Hampton family. Carly was merely born under a lucky star. Some individuals are destined for greatness while others must accept their fate." Lucy's words carried a sting, clearly directed at Celine. Hailey was seething, but the reality of Carly's newfound status was undeniable.

"Carly, your identity as the Hampton heiress has shielded you. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here speaking so smugly." Carly smirked. "That's correct. With my father present, none of you can harm me." Tracy sneered, "Absolutely. In fact, Mr. Hampton personally assured my grandmother last night that as long as he's here, no one can harm the Tate family. If you were hoping to seek retribution for your father, Celine, you can abandon that thought." Hailey's anger flared. "You-" Celine halted her.

"Hailey." Hailey bit her tongue, suppressing her frustration. Celine stepped forward, locking eyes with Lucy. "How did my father truly die?" Lucy met Celine's gaze and smiled smugly. "Do you genuinely want to know? If you insist, I will disclose it to you." She leaned in, lowering her voice to a whisper. "Your father was poisoned. Hayden, Wayne, Hazel, Sonia, and I were all present.

We were the ones who bid him farewell." Upon learning the truth about her father's demise, Celine's slender fingers clenched into fists.

Even in his final moments, he refused to close his eyes. He just kept calling out your name."
