Chapter 265
After the divorce, Adam and Celine had not been in contact. This was the first time he had heard any news about her. She had fallen seriously ill.
Carly immediately curled her lips into a smile. There was a mix of pride, sympathy, and ridicule in her eyes when she said, “I never thought she would be so deeply in love with you, Adam.”
Tracy sneered as well. “With her circumstances, she’ll never find another man like Mr. Alvarez. Thinking about it, that really is pitiful,”
Carly tilted her head and looked at Adam with a playful doubt. She teased, “Adam, Celine is sick As her ex–husband, shouldn’t you give her a call to comfort her?
Adam’s expression remained indifferent, his handsome and dignified features calm. He looked at Carly and replied, “Alright. I’ll call her now.”
Then, he reached for his phone as it to make the call
Her expression changed immediately, and she shouted, “Don’t you dare!”
He curled his thin lips into a smirk and remarked, “You literally just asked me to.” He had only been teasing her. He had no intention of calling Celine at
all
Contented, Carly pouted her red lips in a playful buff at him.
Tracy chimed in, “I really can’t stand the two of you. Should I leave now and stop being the third wheel?”
Adam stood up and said, “I’ll give you two some space.” Then, he turned and walked out.
“Carly, you and Mr. Alvarez are so inseparable now, but poor Celine is miserable.”
Carly leaned back against the headboard, feeling completely satisfied. She thought her act of slitting her wrist this time had been totally worth it. “Celine noods to take a good look at herself. She’s a woman from the countryside with no education or job actually, and she thought she could compete with me for Adam? I’ve only sent her back to where she belongs.”
“Carly, keep it up, Get Mr. Alvarez to marry you soon. Grandma is still hoping we could hold weddings for both families at the same time.”
Getting Adam to divorce Celine was only the first step. Next, Carly had to ensure he married her. Even without Tracy’s reminder, she knew exactly what she needed to do.
“Tracy, didn’t Dr. C show up today?
At the mention of Dr. C, Tracy’s face flushed with excitement
“Dr. C couldn’t make it to a major surgery today, but I have great news! A while ago, our families pooled together one billion dollars. Grandma even mortgaged Tate Manor.
“Now, the money has doubled. Our family fortune has skyrocketed!
Carly’s eyes lit up “Really?”
“Of course, it’s true. Don’t you trust Dr. C?”
“I trust him. Of course, I do. How could Dr. Cever deceive us?”
She was overjoyed. It seemed that without Celine, the bad omen of the family, the Tate family’s fortunes were increasing
“Tracy, how are things going between
you.
Land Dr. C2”
Tracy immediately extended her hand, revealing a diamond ring on her ring finger. The massive diamond sparkled brightly, dazzling anyone who looked
She undled sweetly and said, “Dr. Chad already proposed to me, and I said yes.”
Seeing the diamond on Tracy’s hand made Carly’s heart flutter. However, she didn’t feel envious in the slightest because she knew Adam would give her
Leven bigger diamond. He was not the type of man to let her envy any other woman
“Carly, we’re all just waiting for the good news about you and Mr. Alvarez now. When the time comes, our family hosting two weddings together will surely be the talk of the mutine Mercity.”
Carly added confidently and said, “Don’t worry. That day is coming very soon”
Aden was standing tall and composed in the corridor. Leo approached with a folder in hand.
“Mr. Alvarez, these are the documents that require your signatures for today.”
