Chapter 431
Adam had met Dr. C before?
Adam couldn’t recall when he had. He shot Celine a penetrating glance.
He always felt that Celine was hiding something.
Now, Celine’s clear eyes were twinkling brightly, and even Adam felt a tingle.
At that moment, Sonia and Lucy stepped out. Sonia called, “Celine.”
Celine looked toward Sonia. “Mrs. Tate Senior, do you need something from me?”
Sonia looked at Celine. “Celine, have you brought your dad’s ashes back and found a place for him?”
At that, Celine let out a cold laugh. “Mrs. Tate Senior, would you be so kind as to ask about my dad’s ashes?”
“Sonia, how can you say that? Aaron, after all, is my first son. I am his mother.” [3]

“Mrs. Tate Senior, my dad is already gone. Who are you even saying these words to? My dad was never your biological son. My dad was adopted by you.”
Sonia and Lucy froze. They hadn’t expected Celine to know about this matter.
“Celine, how did you know? Lucy asked.
Celine stepped forward, closing in on Sonia and Lucy. “Mrs. Tate Senior, back then, you hurried to get pregnant to secure your position in the family, but when you couldn’t conceive for a long time, you ended up adopting my dad.
“As soon as my dad joined the Tate family, you got pregnant. You were pregnant with Hayden. In fact, Hayden is your first son, and Wayne is your younger son. Both of these sons are the apple of your eye.
“You’ve always been biased. My dad knew he wasn’t your biological child, so he always yielded. He truly treated you as his own mother, built his career from scratch, and wholeheartedly supported his two younger brothers while fulfilling his filial duty to you.
“Whether as a son or as an older brother, he never did anyone in the Tate family any injustice! He had already repaid your adoption kindness from back then!”
Celine’s words landed with force, and Sonia and Lucky stepped back. They really hadn’t expected that Celine knew about those past events. What means had she used to find all this out? Celine then looked at Lucy. “My dad truly loved you. He married, loved, protected, and spoiled you. As a husband, he owed you nothing. Yet, what did you do to my dad!”
Lucy, as if she had been caught off guard, instantly bristled. “Celine, what do you mean by this?”
“You don’t know what I’m talking about? You know all too well what you did to my dad. I really don’t understand how you can so comfortably enjoy the wealth and luxury my dad left behind. “Haven’t you ever dreamed in the middle of the night that my dad would turn into a fierce ghost to come and claim your life?”
Lucy’s face turned pale. “Celine, what on earth are you talking about?”
She raised her hand and directly slapped Celine’s face.
However, Celine reached out and grabbed Lucy’s wrist, stopping her from hitting.
Lucy gasped. “Celine, I’m your mother, after all. How dare you hit me, you ungrateful child!”
In Celine’s beautiful, sharp eyes, a cold gleam flashed. “Mom? You’re the one to talk!”
With a forceful jerk, Celine sent Lucky reeling. Lucy lost her footing, staggering a few steps backward before crashing straight into the wall in utter disarray.
Sonia and Lucy looked at Celine in shock, fuming. “You’ve gone too far! Celine, you’ve really gone too far!”
“Celine, do you think that just because you’re dating Mr. Marshall, you can act lawlessly? Men are never to be trusted. Once Mr. Marshall no longer wants you, you’ll just be a worthless housewife!”
Celine wasn’t in the least angry. “Is that so? Let’s see,
then!”
She then turned and left.
At that moment, Adam’s tall, upright figure blocked her path. Celine glared at him. “As for you, let’s wait and see!”
With that, Celine left immediately.
Adam stayed silent.
“Mr. Alvarez, Celine is really out of line. How dare she mouth off to you? Has she lost her mind?” Sonia shouted.
