Chapter 38
38 38 Celine immediately headed back the way she came.
She saw Melody panicking and grabbing Adams arm.
Adam, Carly was abducted! By whom? Adams expression shitted instantly, Grandma! said Melody Grandma had some men take her away! What? The air seemed to freeze around Adam upon hearing those words.
It just so happened that Melody saw Celine, who was making her way to them.
Melody jabbed a finger in Celines direction.
Celine! You mustve been behind this! To Adam, she said, Adam, someone gave Grandma a picture before this.
It was a picture of you and Carly dancing at a pub.
Grandma was furious when she saw it and had some men take Carlyaway, Celines probably the person who gave Grandma the picture! Celines gaze turned cold.
Did someone give Mary a picture? Celine wasnt aware of that.
Adam, Celines a cruel woman! She knows Grandma adores her and will always have her back, said Melody, adding fuel to the fire.
She wants to take advantage of Carlys heart condition to get rid of Carly with Grandmas help! Melody had barely finished speaking when Celine felt Adams cold gaze on her, and he strode over to her.
Adam, 1 didn L Celine denied.
Adam spat coldly, Youd better pray that Carlys fine With that said, he stormed off, leaving Celine and Melody in the corridor Melody looked at Celine with a sadistic smile.
Celines face paled, knowing that Adam didnt believe her.
He mustve thought that she had sent Mary the picture.
She was indeed the most suspicious among all the people.
Dread washed over Celine, and she quickly headed back to Alvarez Residence.
When she arrived, she went to the study.
Before entering the room, she could hear Marys stern voice saying, Carly, how could you be so insolent? Adam and Celine are married, so hes your brotherinlaw How could you ruin their family? She carried on beating her, You left when you felt like it back then, and you came back after three whole years, Did you think you could still be Adams wife after all that? Youre so selfish and greedy! At ther moment, Carly was on her knees on the carpeted floor in the study.
Her face was drained of color as she muttered timidly, Thats not it..
Furious, Mary roared, Ill give you a chance to leave Adam alone and head back to whichever country you came from before you returned.
Dont ever come back! Carly was so terrified at Marys outburst that she started trembling.
Even so, she shook her head and said, Sorry, but I cant do that I love Adam, and I want to be with him forever, Mary was so mad that she started to tremble out of rage.
Do you have no shame at all? Ill teach you a lesson in your parents stead Alfred had been standing beside Mary all the whole.
He handed her a whip.
It was a tradition that ran in the Alvarez family.
Mary swung the whip at Carly, making the later yelp in fear.
The whip made a loud and crisp sound, but it didnt land on Carlys body.
It struck Adam instead.
Adam had barged into the study and hugged Carly so that she was entirely shielded in his arms.
The whip struck him heavily across the back.
