Chapter 16
16 16 The next day, Celine sat on a wicker chat reading a book Inside the apartment Meanwhile, Robin was pacing angrily, cursing at the top of her lungs.
Whats wrong with that Tid he get kicked in the head or something? He left his wife alone to take care of that bitch Carly! And that CarlyUgh! Being a mistress is bad enough, but drugging herself? hats just pathetic! Robin was privuinely furious.
When she went to pick up Celine the previous night, she found her sitting on the ground, hugging her knees, When Celine raised her head, her face was streaked with tears, looking as forlorn as a stray cat abandoned by its owner.
Celine couldnt help but laugh.
Robin had been ranting about Adam and Carly since the night before, and her fighting spirit was truly impressive.
In truth, Celine had long learned how to heal herself even when falling apart.
She unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into her mouth.
The sweetness spread, bringing a faint smile to her face.
Robin, take a break.
Well deal with them soon enough and get retribution where its due.
Robin understood what that meantCeline was planning to teach them a lesson.Celine was tough, but it pained Robin to see her go through the agony of breaking herself down just to rebuild.
Just then, muffled sounds came from the storage room.
Celine set down her book and said with a small smile, Now, lets start with Mr.
The previous day, Celine had drugged Samson and had him brought to her apartment.
Celine and Robin entered the storage room where Samson was tied up.
His hands and feet were bound with a cloth stuffed in his mouth.
When he saw Celine, he began thrashing around furiously, Robin walked over and pulled the cloth out of Samsons mouth, The moment becould speak, Samsons face twisted with anger.
Celine Tate! How dare you drug me! Do you even know who I am? I know Dr.
C, and your mother owes me favors! Youre just some country girlhow dare you act so high and mighty? You should be grateful I even considered sleeping with you.
If you had any sense, youd lie down and let me enjoy your body! Robin rolled up her sleeves, ready to slap him across the tace, but Celine stopped her Celine stepped closer, towering over Samson as she looked down at him.
You say you know Dr.
Ch Samsons expression turned smug Of course! Youve heard of Dr.C, havent you? The medical prodigy, amiracle worker! Someone like you could never meet her.
But me? I know her personally! Celine raised an eyebrow, a faint smile playing on her lips.
Since you claim to know Dr.
C, then prove it.
Samson puffed up with arrogance.
Thave her number in my phone.
I can call her right now celine nodded.
Go ahead Call ber.
Robin then untied Samson.
Samson stood, pulling his phone from his pocket.
He really did have Dr.
Cs number.
He had sneaked into the hospital directors office and copied the number after Dr.
C was scheduled to perform surgery on Carly Samson said while grinning triumphantly, Celine, watch and learn.
Ill show you how powerful I am! He proceeded to dial the number, The phone rang, its melodic tone filling the room.
Then, it was answeredcalmly and without hurry.
Samsons face flushed red with excitement when the call got connected.
He immediately said ingratiatingly, Hello, Dr.
C? This is Samson Stone from Haven Hospital.
Ive admired you for so long.
Would it be possible for me to meet you in person? Very quickly, a sweet voice responded from the other end, Turn around.
Did she tell him to turn around? What did that mean? Suddenly, something felt off.
The voice sounded like it was coming from behind him.
Samson, who was still clutching his phone, slowly burned.
Standing there was Celine, holding her phone.
She gave him an amused look, ber lashes fluttering as she smiled faintly.
Stone, congratulations.
Now you really know Dr.C Samson froze in place.
He gasped, struggling to process what he was seeing Meanwhile, Celine stood there in a flowing dress, its hem brushing elegantly against her slender ankles.
Her serene smile had a hint of mockery, as though she were watching a clown perform tricks for her amusement.
Samsons legs gave out beneath him.
With a loud thud, he dropped to his knees betate her.
