Chapter 62
Larry put on a pitiful expression. “Celine, I shouldn’t have come looking for you and embarrass you. As long as you’re doing well, that’s enough for me. I’ll head back to the countryside now.‘
He hamed to leave.
“Wait!” Benjamin called out to him.
Larry stopped in his tracks.
Benjamin turned to celine, his tone filled with anger. “Celine, are you even human? He’s your adoptive father, and you refuse to acknowledge him!”
The other wealthy heirs shared the same sentiment, growing even more disgusted with Celine. “Celine, not only are you from a poor background, but you’re also so selfish and cold–blooded. You look down on the poor and favor the rich!”
“How could Mr. Alvarez marry someone like you? You’re a stain on his reputation!”
The room erupted with accusations directed at Celine.
Standing beside Benjamin, Carly smiled in satisfaction
Robin wanted to speak up, but Celine pulled her back.
At this moment, Lucy stepped forward, teigning sincerity as she looked at Celine. “Celine, you’re indeed in the wrong. Larry is your adoptive father. You should take him back home.”
Lucy and Carly were confident that Celine wouldn’t expose Larry’s wrongdoings. Most people who had suffered such harm would choose to stay silent, swallowing the pain. This was Lucy’s cunning plan. She wanted Larry to torment Celine for the rest of her life, trapping her in darkness forever.
Celine’s clear eyes fell on Lucy’s face. “You brought him here, didn’t you?
Lucy stayed silent.
Celine’s Eps curved into a cold smile, one that didn’t reach her eyes. “So, you’ve known everything all along”
Lucy had abandoned her in the countryside, turning a blind eye. For a moment, Celine had thought Lucy didn’t know what happened to her.
But today, she was certain. Lucy had known everything–the hardships, the suffering.
Robin trembled with rage as she glared at Lucy
ma will get yu
get you, you
“So you knew everything? And you still brought this scumbag here? What kind
kind of mother are you? You’re not just biased–you’re worse than an animal! Karma wretched old hag!”
Lucy’s face darkened as Robin pointed and cursed her.
Carly stepped forward. “Celine, how could you not acknowledge your adoptive father?
Benjamin and the other wealthy heirs surrounded Celine, siding with Carly. “Celine, you’ve gone too far!”
Celine’s eyes shimmered with a sharp, cold light. “Robin, let’s go.”
Robin shot them a glare before following Celine out.
Carly felt pleased. She turned to Benjamin. “Benjamin, what’s up with Celine? Her adoptive father raised her, and she doesn’t even show a shred of gratitude.”
Benjamin looked disgusted. “Carly, you’re too kind. If Celine were even a fraction as good as you, things would be different. I’ll tell Adara and Nate about this–they’ll surely despise her too.”
Carly’s lips curled into a smile. “Benjamin, you’re the best.”
He laughed. “I can’t wait to celebrate your wedding with Adam.”
He then lett with the rest of them.
Carly felt content, her goal for the day was accomplished
Lury glanced at Larry, who was still staring lecherously in the direction Celine had gone. She smiled and said, “Larry, if you’re so obsessed with Celine, why not find a way to make her yours? Don’t tell me you’re incapable. After all, she blinded one of your eyes ten years ago.“”
Larry sneered. “I’ll make her pay for this eye. Don’t worry. She has something in my hands. She won’t dare disobey me.”
