Chapter 49
Celine noticed Adam standing with Carly, who had been discharged from the hospital. Carly was now clinging to Adam’s arm. The two looked like an It couple, perfectly matched and inseparable.
Robin scoffed, “Celine, Adam sure is devoted to Carly. Even after
r she stirred up trouble with Mrs. Alvarez Senior, he still acts like nothing happened and is back with her again.
Celine hadn’t expected to run into Adam and Carly at the bar. She was not surprised by how quickly they both had reconciled.
She smiled faintly and replied, “Is it news that Adam loves Carly?
This would have disappointed her in the past, but now she felt numb.
At that moment, the sound of high heels clicking approached. “Mr. Alvarez, Carly, what a coincidence.
Celine looked up and noticed that Tracy was also there.
Tracy wore a black strappy dress that accentuated her figure. Paired with her voluminous curls and red lipstick, she looked dazzling and alluring. As her gaze fell on Adam, her eyes sparkled with interest and infatuation.
Celine amusingly raised an eyebrow, assuming the night would be full of drama.
Carly hadn’t noticed Tracy’s feelings toward Adam Clinging tightly to Adam’s arm, Carly said with a sweet smile, “Tracy, what a coincidence!”
Benjamin’s excitement ruse. “Since everyone’s here tonight, let’s play a game together! Nathan and Celine, are you two in?”
Nathan looked at Celine. “Celine, let’s join in.”
Celine wanted to refuse, but Robin interjected and said, “Sure, let’s play!”
It was then that Tracy noticed Nathan and Celine were together. She asked surprisingly, “How did Mr. Lynch end up with Celine?”
Carly answered, “Tracy, you didn’t know? Mr. Lynch has taken a liking to her.”
“What?” Tracy gasped, “Mr. Lynch Bes Celine? She’s just a country bumpkin and is unworthy of him.”
Carly explained, “Tracy, Celine has become quite skilled at seducing men. Mr. Lynch is already under her spell.”
Tracy’s eyes filled with disdain. “How could our family produce someone like her? She’s utterly unpresentable.”
Carly’s smile grew broader.
At that moment, Adam broke out of her grip and walked off. As Carly’s hand hung in mid–air, her smile froze instantly.
Adam didn’t return to the hospital to accompany her the previous night. She had called him numerous times, but he didn’t answer once.
In all the years they had known each other, that was the first time he had treated her so coldly. Carly felt deeply insecure now. She was worried that some temptress might steal Adam away
She hurried after him, complaining. “Adam, why didn’t you answer my calls last night?”
Adam’s expression remained unchanged. His profile’s sharp and chiseled lines made him look cold and distant.
At that moment, Celine, Nathan, and Robin sat down. Tracy, Benjamin, and several other wealthy heirs joined the game too.
With everyone gathered, Carly had no choice but to drop the topic and settle beside Adam.
Benjamin said, “Alright! Since everyone’s here, let’s begin! We’re playing Truth or Dare.”
He took out a beer bottle. According to the rules, the beer bottle would be spun. When it stopped, the person at the neck of the bottle got to assign either a truth or a dare to the person at the opposite end.
The first round began
When the beer bottle stopped spinning, its neck pointed at Tracy while the bottom at Adam
The atmosphere immediately became lively as the first round drew Adam into the game.
Tracy smirked and cast asly glance at Adam. “Mr. Alvarez, let’s play Truch. So, tell us, have you consummated your marriage with your wife?”
Everyone present, except Nathan, who had just returned abroad, knew that Celine was Adam’s wife.
Tracy clearly wanted to know if Adam had ever been intimate with Celine.
