Chapter 197
As evening fell, Celine returned to Tate Manor, where a festive atmosphere enveloped the residence. It was beautifully decorated, resembling a grand celebration of a significant event. The maids were busy preparing food and drinks for the event.
Celine entered and overheard two maids in conversation. “Ms. Tracy has brought her boyfriend home tonight. Do you know who he is? It’s Dr. C!”
“Dr. C? Oh my gosh! I’m so excited. I can’t wait to see what he looks like today.”
“Ms. Tracy is amazing and can even win Dr. C’s heart,” the maids exclaimed, full of admiration.
At that moment, Sonia, Wayne, and Hazel came downstairs, looking formal and cheerful.
Sonia spotted Celine and coldly warned, “Celine, Tracy is bringing Dr. Chome for dinner tonight. Don’t offend him, or I won’t forgive you!”
Wayne and Hazel glanced at Celine indifferently. “Mom, Tracy, and Dr. C are arriving. Let’s head out and welcome them.”
Just then, a luxury car pulled up on the lawn of Tate Manor. Tracy arrived with Dr. C, wearing a stunning long dress and looking radiant.
She proudly introduced him to her family, saying, “Grandma, Mom, and Dad, this is Dr. C, my boyfriend.”
Sonia, Wayne, and Hazel gazed at Dr. C with smiles of satisfaction. “Dr. C, we’ve heard so much about you.”
Celine gazed at Dr. C, a strikingly tall and handsome gentleman dressed in an upscale shirt and trousers, adomed with an exquisite watch
He was a gentle and refined gentleman, easily deceiving ordinary people. Not surprisingly, Tracy became even more convinced of his reliability.
Dr. C smiled and said, “Hello, Mrs. Tate Senior, Mr. and Mrs. Tate. Here is the gift I brought.”
Then, the driver took out a bunch of valuable gifts.
Sonia grinned. “Thank you for the wonderful gifts, Dr. C. Please come in.”
Sonia invited them inside, but the crowd was so large that Celine got pushed into a comer and was ignored.
“Dr. C, Tracy, dinner is ready. We can dig in as soon as everyone gets here,” Sonia announced with a warm smile.
Tracy asked, “Grandma, who are we waiting for?”
“Carly and Mr. Alvarez are also joining us for dinner tonight. Let’s wait for them.”
Sonia tumed to Dr. C. “You might not know that Mr. Alvarez, the wealthiest man in Mercity, is my grandson–in–law.”
Dr. C smiled. “I have heard of Mr. Alvarez for a long time.”
Celine stood quietly in the corner, absorbing the unfolding drama. She was aware that Tracy had invited Dr. Cover for dinner, but she was clueless about Carly’s decision to bring Adam home as well.
She understood that the two families had always engaged in a subtle rivalry. With Tracy bringing Dr. Chome, it was only natural that Carly would respond by flaunting Adam. Both families were determined to outshine one another in this unspoken competition.
At that moment, another luxury car stopped on the lawn at Tate Manor. Carly emerged with Adam’s arm around her, followed by Hayden and Lucy.
Sonia quickly stood up. “Mr. Alvarez, Carly, it’s wonderful to see you both.”
Carly looked beautiful in a long dress and delicate makeup, looking charming.
Adam was wearing a black suit, looking handsome and noble. He entered the living room and asked Dr. C, “Are you Dr. C?”
Dr. C graciously extended his hand, saying, “Mr. Alvarez, I’ve missed you on two occasions. Allow me to handle Ms. Carly’s illness. It shouldn’t be a problem. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Adam glanced at Dr. C before extending his hand for a handshake.
Sonia radiated happiness as she held Adam with one hand and Dr. C with the other. “Carly and Tracy truly embody the pride of the Tate family. Now, I’m fortunate to have two remarkable grandsons–in–law, Mr. Alvarez and Dr. C. We’re truly blessed.”
