Chapter 351
Bocah Tame is Hunang Dull 351
Celine interrupted Carly’s scolding. “Hold on! Carly, you have it all wrong. I didn’t seduce Mr. Alvarez last night. It’s actually quite the opposite. In fact, I fought him off. But he took advantage of my fever and vulnerability to have sex with me.”
Carly couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Adam was constantly surrounded by stunning women and never struggled to attract their attention. Yet, despite her numerous attempts to connect with him, he always brushed her off, claiming he wasn’t in the mood or was too busy with work. He always maintained an image of extreme self-control. Hence, it was impossible for him to exploit Celine’s illness to have sex with her.
“Impossible! This is nonsense!” she retorted, turning to Adam. “Mr. Alvarez, since you’re here, could you let Carly know if I’m speaking nonsense?”
Adam glanced at Celine and replied, “What she said is true.”
Hearing his confirmation, Carly completely broke down. Observing the look of distress on her face, Celine sneered. “Carly, did you ever consider the possibility of being cheated on while you were playing the mistress? Mr. Alvarez can’t control himself. Next time we meet, you better back down, or I’ll make sure you face such betrayal once more.”
With that, she left. Carly was at her breaking point; she hadn’t expected Celine to survive this confrontation. To make matters worse, Celine and Adam had slept together, and now she felt as though she had sabotaged herself. The pain was overwhelming. Adam had no words to justify his actions. The dim light barely revealed his striking features, casting shadows over his expression.
“Carly, I’m sorry. My feelings for Celine—”
“Enough! Stop talking!” Carly shouted, tossing her bag to the floor.
Celine gathered her luggage, ready to return to Mercity, when Randall and the others approached her. Leaning in, Randall whispered, “Celine, I just witnessed Adam arguing with his girlfriend.”
“Yeah, I saw that too. His girlfriend is furious. She even threw her bag. Why were they fighting?”
Celine simply remained silent with a smile.
As Celine made her way back to her dormitory, Halley enveloped her in a warm embrace. “Celine, I’m glad you’re back.” She presented Halley with the gift she had brought back from Marland. They talked for a while before Celine fell asleep, her slumber extending into the next day.
When she awoke, she realized that she had been sleeping exceptionally well lately, perhaps even a bit too much. As she retrieved her phone, a message from Perry caught her attention. “Celine, are you back? Let’s meet.”
Celine replied, “Let’s meet at Alpite Pharma then. I haven’t been there for a long time.”
Perry responded, “As the founder of Alpite Pharma, you seem a bit lazy.”
During a bustling moment at Alpite Pharma, Adam decided to register for VIP access and brought Carly along to obtain her medication. Upon their return from Marland, Carly had experienced some heart discomfort, so she asked Adam to stay by her side. Tracy and Lucy joined them, discussing the newly launched heart medication by Alpite Pharma.
“It’s highly effective for the heart and has gained popularity within the medical industry,” they noted. The founder of Alpite Pharma is celebrated for its remarkable development. Six years ago, they registered the Alpite Pharma brand, specializing in medicinal partnerships with major hospitals nationwide. It also became a publicly listed large medical entity.
“Lucy remembered, I believe Alpite Pharma officially launched its products on April 11, and it appears to be referred to as the Legend 411.”
Tracy nodded. “That’s right.”
