Chapter 429
Celine knew it was time for her to step into the spotlight
The Tate family had caused her father’s death, and it was about time for her to settle this blooddebt they owed her
And then there was Adam. He had been desperately searching for Dr. C, hadi’t he? Fine, sho’d tell him bersell.
Meanwhile, in the CEO’s office of Alvarez Group’s headquarters, Adam sat at his desk going through documents.
The pen in his hand moved swiftly across the page as he signed his name in bold, decisive strokes.
Just then, Leventered and spoke in a low voice. “Mr. Alvarez, there’s news about Dr. C‘“
The pen in Adam’s hand paused mid–sticke. He slowly looked up at Les and said, “Go on.“”
“Sir, Dr. C’s contact has just confirmed that Dr. Cwill be attending the banquet tonight. Dr. C has officially arrived in Mercity and has requested to meet you there
Adam fell into deep thought. He had been searching for D. C for quite a long time. After multiple missed encounters and that scandal with a lake Dr. C, the real deal was finally here. Tonight, he would see for himself who this legendary Dr. C was
With a smirk, he answered, “Sure. We’ll meet at the banquet tonight”
Adam arrived at the VIP ward
That morning. Lucy had called, claiming that Carly’s heart had been acting up again, and she needed Adam to accompany her
The moment he entered the ward, he found Carly in a
rin a cantrum.
“Adam! What happened with you and Celline last night? Why were you with her? I know she must’ve seduced you! She deliberately bought a house arross from yours just so she could keep Tempting you!”
“Carly.” Adam’s deep voire interrupted her rand
She turned to look at
ent to find Celine last night,” he said.
‘Twas the one who went to t
The answer shocked Carly so much that she froze in place.
Then, as if in denial, she quickly covered her ears
“I don’t want to hear it! Adam, I only left because I went abroad! That’s the only reason Celine got the chance to take my place in the marriage! I don’t blame you for what happened with her, but don’t let her deceive you!
“She may be highly educated, but for the past few years, e’s just been a housewife: refuse to believe that a woman like that could ever catch your eyed
“I admit, Celine is beautiful, and she knows how to manipulate men. Isn’t that how your relationship with her started! She must have pleased you in bed, and now you’re willing to entertain here. But let’s be honest–this isn’t love. She’s just using her body to serve you!
“Adam, the one you love is me!!
Adam’s elegant, chiseled fare remained untable. Truth be told, Carly wasn’t entirely wrong, Celine sute knew how to handle him in bed.
Images of last night on the couch flashed in his mind–her soft curves, the subcle changes in her body….
Just the thought of it made his throat feel dry.
Holding her in his arms all night had been torture.
Labely, he found himself wanting to go to her. Even he didn’t understand what was happening to him.
Adam knew his own type – he was drawn to intelligent, accomplished women with independent careers and strong personalities.
Celine was a genius, but she had become a housewife and hadn’t worked in years. She didn’t fit his type at all.
And yet with her, everything felt different
He didn’t even know when it had started
Carly clutched her chest, her face pale. “Adam, my heart hurts. The doctor said I can’t handle stress. I don’t want to hear things that make me upset.”
Adam pressed his lips together for a moment. “Dr. Chas arrived in Mercity.”
Carly fell into a momentary daze, and then her eyes up with excitement.
“Is it true, Adam? The real Dr. Cis finally here?”
Just then, Sonia, Lucy, and Tracy entered the ward, all looking gidly with anticipation.
