Chapter 270
“Who exactly is this Miss Genius C? We’ve never heard of anyone like this in Mercity.”
“Mr. Alvarez and Miss Genius C will appear together at the upcoming Pinnacle of Academic Symposium. We’re all looking forward to it!”
Carly sat on the sofa, her mood worsening by the second. Usually, she and Adam were the golden couple recognized by everyone in their social circle.
But now, the focus of everyone’s attention was on Adam and Miss Genius C’s first public appearance together. The anticipation for this event had already stolen her spotlight
Carly’s heart was filled with envy and hatred. She was overwhelmingly jealous of this mysterious genius.
Just then, Melody suddenly exclaimed, “Look! Celine is here!”
Adam, who had been holding a glass of wine, had been disinterested in everything that evening, his mood notably low. But upon hearing those words, his sharp, handsome eyes lifted, and he looked up
He saw Celine Tonight, she was wearing a sleeveless black mini–dress that perfectly hugged her slender waist. The flared skirt made her long, straight legs appear even more strikingly fair.
The moment she walked in, she instantly drew numerous pazes. Her silky, jet–black hair flowed softly down her back, and draped over her delicate arms was a cardigan
From his angle, he could only see her profile. Her face seemed smaller now, her skin radiant and fair, exuding an ethereal, cold beauty. This kind of aura was unparalleled in all of Mercity.
Carly also noticed Celine, and her eyes lit up. She had always considered Miss Genius Cher rival, secretly competing with her and harboring jealousy. But Celine, who came from the countryside, had never been worth her attention. Seeing her now, Carly felt a deep sense of superiority.
She smirked and commented, “I heard Celine was seriously ill a few days ago. Seems like she’s recovered now,
Melody sneered dismissively. “Adam had been wanting to divorce her for ages. Dragging it out for so long was already a favor to her, and she still had the nerve to fall sick?”
Benjamin’s gaze lingered on Celine. He had never liked her. “Well, it’s all sorted now. Adam has divorced her. Adam, when do we get to attend your wedding with Carly?”
The others began to cheer. “From now on, she’s no longer Ms. Tate, but Mrs. Alvarez,”
Carly beamed with pride, her smile full of satisfaction.
Adam glanced at Celine before withdrawing his gaze indifferently. He tilted his head back and drained the red wine in his glass.
Celine and Hailey had come to the bar to unwind. The two sipped on cocktails before Celine excused herself to go to the restroom.
In the corridor, a figure blocked her path. Celine looked up to see Carly.
Carly curved her lips into a bright smile and said, “Celine, I heard you fell seriously ill after your divorce from Adam. Are you feeling better now Celine’s gaze was icy. She replied, “Carly, our relationship isn’t close enough for small talk. If you have something to say, just say it.”
Carly held up a handbag and boasted, “This bag is a limited edition. Adam accompanied me to buy it,”
Celine’s lips curled slightly. “And?“
“This bag wasn’t purchased for me. It’s meant to be a gift for the youngest daughter of the Lambert family, Allie.”
Celine said nothing. She was aware that the Lambert family was Adam’s maternal family, though he had never taken her to meet them. She waited silently for Carly to continue
Carly stared at her, unwilling to miss any subtle change in her expression
She continued, “I’ll admit that Mrs. Alvarez Senior likes you, but Adam is worlding to introduce me to Allie and the Lamberts. He wants me to meet them. Celine, Adam and I are planning to get married.”
So Carly and Adam we
were planning to get married.
Right then, a tall, handsome figure appeared in their line of sight. It was Adam Carly immediately walked over and sweetly took ahold of his arm “Adan, I just told Celine the news of our upcoming wedding, ”
