Chapter 272
Carly was also furious. “Adam, look at her!”
They had all come to mock Celine, but instead, she completely turned the tables and humiliated them. How outrageous!
Adam watched her slender figure disappear into the distance with an unreadable expression. After a moment, he pressed his lips thin lips together and said,” Enough. Stop making a scene.”
Carly fell silent, forcing herself to suppress the anger she felt toward Celine. “Adam, you said you’d introduce me to Allie tonight. Where is she?”
She hadn’t forgotten her main objective. She needed to push forward her plan to marry Adam as soon as possible.
Adam had seen Hailey earlier. He softly said, “I’ll go find Allie.”
She quickly handed him the limited–edition handbag she was carrying, “Adam, give this to Allie. She’ll love it.”
Noticing that Celine was taking too long in the restroom, Hailey felt uneasy. She got up to look for her. Just then, Adam called out to her. “Allle.”
However, she ignored him completely and turned to walk away, but he stepped in her path. “Allie, you’re getting more and more impolite. You’re ignoring me now?”
ctually Allie,
Carly and Melody hadn’t been able to figure out Hailey was actually
Hailey was James‘ daughter, but she took her mother’s last name. That was why Carly despite their investigations.
Being the youngest child born to James in his later years, and with a birthmark on her face since birth, Hailey was doted on by the entire Lambert family and even by Adam
She glared at him with displeasure and said, “Adam, how could you treat Celine like that? Do you know how badly she fell ill after the divorce? She had a fever of 107 degrees for seven full days. Even when she was unconscious, she was crying-
His sharp eyes flickered, and he interrupted, “Enough. Don’t say another word!”
She froze.
Expressionless, he said with a low and magnetic voice, “We’re divorced. I don’t want to hear anything about her anymore.”
She looked at him in shock. She hadn’t expected him to be so heartless.
He handed her the limited–edition handbag he was holding. She caught the bag and frowned, asking “What’s this?”
“It’s a gift from Carly to you.”
What? Hailey immediately tossed the bag back to Adam. “Take it away! I don’t want anything from a mistress!”
He looked at her and said, “Allis, don’t be so unreasonable. Carly genuinely wants to be your friend. For someone as proud as her, she’s already tried very hard to win you over. You should at least try to befriend her.”
Befriend Carly?
“She’s the one trying to please me. I never asked for it. I’m not going to be friends with someone like her!”
He pressed his lips together and replied, “Allie, I’m planning to marry Carly. She’ll be family in the future.”
Hailey’s pupils shrank. “Adam, you’re marrying Carly right after divorcing Celine?”
Carly was his chosen woman. Marrying her had always been part of the plan, but he got into an accident and became comatose. Celine had entered his life during that time. She was merely a brief interlude.
He nodded and said, “Yes. I’m going to marry Carly.”
Hailey was speechless. After a moment, she relented. “Give me

He handed the bag back to her, and she sighed. Her tone was resigned as she said, “Fine. If you’re dead set on marrying her, then she’ll be family. I’m willing to befriend her.”
