Nigel looked at Carly, unable to hide his disappointment. "Carly, shouldn't you be punished? How could you do
something like this?"
He had always known that Carly was a little spoiled and scheming, but when Celine told him she had hired
someone to commit a kidnapping, he refused to believe it. He couldn't accept that his own daughter could be so
fundamentally cruel.
Nigel was the head of a prominent family, and Fiona cfrom a prestigious lineage. They were both from
powerful backgrounds, so how could they have a daughter like Carly?
His disappointment ran deep.
However, Carly didn't seem to realize the gravity of her actions. Feeling wronged, she argued, "Dad, how could
you strikein front of others? This will just make Celine laugh at me! I'm your daughter, yet you always side
with outsiders!"
With that, Carly turned to storm off.
The bodyguards blocked her way, and Celine's voice cfrom behind her. "Ms. Hampton, did | say you could
leave?"
Adam coldly added, "Carly, you kidnapped Bella and my mom, and now we have all the proof. Do you really think
you can walk away from this?"
Carly turned to look at Celine and Adam, realizing that neither of them intended to
let her go.

Then, her gaze shifted to Grace. The warmth in Grace's eyes had disappeared, leaving only coldness. It was clear
that Grace's goodwill toward her was gone.
Now, Carly's only hope was Nigel.
She looked at him desperately. "Dad, I'm your only daughter. You wouldn't just let them takeaway, would
you?"
Nigel didn't respond.
Carly pleaded again, "Please, Dad, you have to protect me! My life can't be ruined!"
Nigel finally spoke. "I have to take Carly home."
Despite his disappointment in her, Nigel couldn't just turn his back on his daughter.
Celine wasn't surprised by his words. She knew Nigel would protect Carly. After all, he was a good father who
loved his daughter deeply.
"Mr. Hampton, it's because of your constant indulgence that Carly keeps crossing the line. You don't know what
she might do next. If you really love her, you need to teach her a lesson and help her beca better person,"
Celine said
Nigel paused, clearly agreeing with Celine's view on parenting. "Celine, | will be stricter with Carly from now on.

Adam turned to Celine. "Celine, how do you want to handle this? I'll follow your lead."
Celine nodded. "Alright, | trust Mr. Hampton. I'll wait for his resolution."
Carly let out a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat smug. As long as she
had the status of the richest heiress, she wouldn't face any real consequences.
Nigel gave the order. "Take care of things here. Carly, you're coming hwith me."
With that, he took Carly and left.
As soon as they were gone, Celine picked up Bella. "Bella, let's go home."
Grace turned to Celine. "Celine, thank
