The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 495

Mary glared at Lucy and snapped, "And you! You shameless woman! How dare you show up here? You seduced your own brother-in-law, plotted against your own daughter, and Carly is just like you! Today, I'll teach you a lesson too!"

With that, Mary swung her cane down on Lucy.

A brutal beating followed, raining down on both Lucy and Carly. The two of them sobbed in pain.

As Hailey watched the scene, she almost wanted to clap her hands in approval. Mary truly lived up to her reputation. When she acted, she didn't hold back.

Once Mary was exhausted, she finally stopped and turned to Adam. "Do you realize your mistake now?"

Adam's expression remained indifferent. "Grandma, if you want to hit me, just say so. No need to make up excuses."

Mary was speechless.

Hailey shot Adam a sharp look. "Adam, do you even know that Celine is in trouble?"

Adam's tall, strong frame tensed instantly. "What happened to Celine? That's impossible. I just saw her earlier, and she was completely fine."

She had been more than fine—she had been full of energy, yelling at him and even hitting him.

How could something have happened to her so suddenly?

Mary interjected, "Celine is in the hospital!"

Adam's tone changed immediately, laced with tension. "She's in the hospital? Where is she? What happened?"

Mary glared at him. "Celine is pregnant. Did you know that?"

Mary gasped, shocked beyond words. "Is that what you think? You actually suspect Celine of carrying another man's child?"

Adam lowered his gaze and remained silent.

Mary raised her hand and delivered a hard slap across Adam's face.

The sharp, resounding slap echoed through the room. Adam's head snapped to the side from the force.

Silence filled the room, and the atmosphere grew heavy with tension.

Lucy and Carly exchanged glances as their minds raced with a thousand thoughts.

Leo stood frozen, not daring to make a sound. Mary and Adam had always shared a close bond, and this was the first time Mary had ever been so furious with him.
