Chapter 41
41 41 Their eves met Looking at Adam earnestly, Celine did her best to explain, Adam, I didnt send that picture to Grandma.
I wont admit to something Ive never done.
© Gely tugged at Adams shirt.
Can you believe it? Shes still making excuses at this point! How shameless! spare was piercingly cold.
He ordered, Celine Tate, apologize now! Adams p with reddened eyes, Celine stood straight and refuted, Let me say it again.
I will not apologize because I didnt do it There was a dark look in Adams eys.
If Im not mistaken, your best friend Robin works in a small magazine company, right? Achill ran down Celines spine, making her shudder.
Did he want to make a move on the people around her? Carly and Lucy watched Celine with a condescending expression.
Celine curled her fists.
Adam had crushed her pride by letting the two women trample o over her.
Tears of humiliation welled in Celines eyes as she apologized slowly, Im sorry, Carly.
Cely smiled.
Tll let it go this time.
Dont do it again, okay? Lucy added, Celine, did you think youd win by having Mrs.
Alvarez Senior on your side? Mr.
Aharez doesnt even love you.
Colour drained from Celines face.
Adam marched out, leaving the three women in the ward.
Celine stared at Carly.
Is this the lesson you you were talking about, Carly? Carly smirked, stopping her act.
Im teaching you that as women, we should rely on men, not old hags.
Shocked, Celine blurted, Were you the one who sent the picture? Carly simply smiled without bothering to deny it.
Celine breathed sharply So you were the one behind all this! You sent the picture to Mrs.
Alvarez Senior on purpose to make her take action on you.
Thats a risky move! Youre not too dumb, after all.
Thats right, it was me who sent it.
Did you think Id suck up to Mrs.
Alvarez Senior when she doesnt even like me? Youre wrong, its her loss for not liking me.
I will make her lose her beloved grandson.
Celine stared at Carly in disbelief.
Thats Adams grandmother! Carly scored, So what? Shes just an obstacle to my success.
Youre crazy! Celine exclaimed.
She turned around and walked toward the door.
Just then, Carlys voice rang out from behind.
This is just a small lesson for you.
Remember, neither you nor Mrs.
Alvarez Senior are a match for me.
Gely couldnt see Celines expression because the latter had her back against them.
Celine slowly straightened her back.
The hurdation and shock were replaced with an icy smark is that so? Youre getting ahead of yourself, Carly, Celine thought When Celine stepped out of the ward, Adams figure came into view.
He stood outside the door with his phone in his hand.
Celine bad dialed Adams number earlier.
Thus, he had heard the entire conversation between Celine and Carly.
