---- Chapter 775 Anne red at Fiona with abject hatred. "Are you happy now, Fiona? You stole Nigel from me. You stole the title of Mrs. Hampton. Everything you have now was supposed to be mine!" Fiona scoffed. "Anne, you''vepletely lost it. You were the one who coveted someone else''s husband and used Yoruzen witchcraft to hurt me. You brought this on yourself!" Anne slowly stood up. "So what if I did? Your own daughter doesn''t even like you. She''d rather be with me!" Then she turned to Carly. "Carly, do you really want Fiona to be your mother?" Carly knew it was time to choose.

    She walked over to Anne''s side. "I don''t want her." Fiona''s heart ached terribly. Carly was her only child with Nigel, but Carly kept pushing boundaries and disappointed her repeatedly. Carly hadn''t grown up around them, and Fiona med herself for that. She felt like she had failed as a mother. Now, watching Carly choose to stand beside someone as maniptive as Anne, Fiona tried to stop her. "Carly!" ---- "Don''t talk to me!" Carly snapped. Fiona froze. Nigel reached out and pulled Fiona into his arms. Carly said, "You two are my biological parents, but you''ve never really loved me.

    You never gave me what I wanted. It was always Ms. Warwick who helped me. From now on, I''m staying with her. "If anything happens to me, it''s on you. You failed me since the day I was born-you pushed me into this!" "Carly!" Fiona''s face turned pale. Upon seeing Fiona''s devastated reaction, Anne felt a wave of satisfaction. This was her revenge. If nothing else, Carly was the perfect weapon with which to stab Fiona in the heart. Anne looked at Carly. "Carly , who do you want as your mother?" "Ms. Warwick, I want you as my mother." "Good. Then call me Mom." Fiona tried to stop her.

    "Carly!" Nigel gave Carly a firm look and said, "Carly, think carefully. If you hurt your mother like this, you may never ---- be able to take it back." Carly looked Anne straight in the eye and called out, " Mom." Hearing Carly call Anne "Mom" sapped all of Fiona''s strength immediately , and she almost copsed to the ground. Nigel held her tightly in his arms. Feeling how cold and shaky she was, he wrapped her up in his warmth, trying to lend her some of his strength through that. Celine looked at Carly in disbelief.

    "Carly , how could you acknowledge someone like her as your mother?" Hailey spat, "Ugh, Carly! You''re disgusting!" Carly didn''t care. Sticking with Anne was her only way forward now. She had worked so hard to n all of this. She couldn''t ept losing it all now. Anne, basking in triumph,ughed. "Fiona, you lost your daughter. You deserve this!" Celine''s eyes narrowed. "Anne, you''re the root of all of this. 20 years ago, you tried to hurt Fiona. 20 yearster, you went after Adam. You''re the worst of the worst!

    Tell us-how did you learn Yoruzen witchcraft?" Anne answered , "Years ago, 1 met a master of Yoruzen ---- witchcraft by chance. She saw potential in me and took me in as her apprentice. She taught me everything." Celine nodded. "Just as I thought. Now hurry up and get rid of the venom!" With a wave from Adam, a team of bodyguards surged in, surrounding both Anne and Carly. Adam said coldly, "You''re not getting away, Anne. If you don''t get rid of this venom today, you won''t live to see tomorrow."style
