Chapter 443
Adam’s expression instantly darkened when Celine told him to schedule an appointment. No one had ever dared to make him take a number and wait- Celine was the first.
“Mr. Alvarez, I’ll be going now,” she said.
With that, Celine strode off with her entourage, leaving Adam standing there in silence.
Just then, Leo came forward. “Mr. Alvarez, should I coordinate with Ms. Tate’s assistant to schedule an appointment?”
Before Leo could finish, Adam shot him a sharp glare.
Feeling wronged, Leo quickly defended himself. “Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Tate was just an ordinary Ms. Tate before, but now she’s Dr. C-the nation-renowned genius. Even billionaires have to make appointments to see her. I don’t think she’s doing this just to spite you.”
Leo had meant to console him, but instead, Adam’s expression turned even colder.
“If you can’t say anything useful, then shut up,” Adam said icily.
Leo fell silent.
Just then, Adam’s phone rang-it was James.
He pressed the answer button. “James, did you know about Celine’s identity all along?”
James chuckled. “Adam, sounds like you’ve finally figured out that Celine is Dr. C. Why are you blaming me now? Dr. C is your wife. If you didn’t know, how is that my fault?”
Then, James added, “Oh, wait. I almost forgot-Dr. C isn’t your wife anymore. You two got divorced.”
Adam wondered what kind of day this was. Everyone around him seemed to be taking turns stabbing him in the back.
James chuckled. “Adam, the Lambert family is hosting a banquet tonight in honor of Dr. C. You should come.”
Now that Celine had publicly revealed her identity, James-being her most prized mentee—had naturally arranged a formal celebration.
“I’ll be there,” Adam replied.
At the Lambert family banquet, Adam stood beside Mr. Lambert, surrounded by distinguished figures from the academic and medical fields.
One of them marveled, “Mr. Lambert, I never expected Dr. C to be such a young lady. To have achieved such medical mastery at her age-she truly is a legend.”
James beamed with pride. “Who would have thought? Celine was a genius at Haffard University and possesses an unparalleled talent in medicine. She’s indeed
unparalleled.”
Then, James glanced at Adam and smirked. “But I bet no one was more shocked than Mr. Alvarez, right?”
Adam, who was still in a sour mood, gave James a cool look. “James, you seem awfully happy.”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” James said
with a chuckle. “Dr. C is Ms. Tate If she were still your wife, I’d have to
salute you every time I saw you. That would mess up the hierarchy, wouldn’t it?” en FindNovel
Adam fell silent.
James shot him a meaningful look. “Feeling any regrets now?”
Adam wasn’t sure.
Just then, a stir rippled through the crowd.
“Look! Dr. C is here!”
Adam looked up.
Celine had arrived.
She wore a sleek black gown. Her long, jet-black hair was loosely pinned up, with a few strands curling against her snow-white neck. She looked effortlessly elegant, like an ethereal beauty untouched by the
world. Content belongwr
By her side, Hailey wore a flowing white gown, exuding a playful charm and
delicate elegance.
Together, the two of them were a breathtaking sight.
