Chapter 82
82 Bi When Celine stepped out of the bathroom, Adam was already gone.
He was likely summoned away by Carl Just then, her phone rang It was Lacy.
by Carlys call.
She curled her lips in selfmockery.
Celine picked up the call Lucy said warmly, Carly has invited some friends over today.
Why dont you join us? Since when was Lucy so kind? Celines voice was calm.
Alright, Ill head over now.
Robin got the news and rushed over immediately.
Celine, I dont trust Lucy.
That scumbag Larry is out of prison.
Are you sure you want to go to the Tate Manor? Celine remained composed.
Theres something I need to confirm Robin was worried.
So she decided to accompany Celine to Tate Manor.
The Tate Manor was bustling.
Carly had invited several of her friends, including Benjamin and a few wealthy heirs from their social circle.
Benjamins expression darkened the moment he saw Celine.
Celine, what are you doing here? Carly answered with a bright smile, Benjamin, I invited her.
Carly, why would you do that? We dont want to hang out with her.
Benjamin clearly disliked Celine.
Celine wasnt angry at all.
She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Benjamin, the little tyrant of the group.
Smiling faintly, she said, I dont want to play with a rookie either.
Benjamin was exasperated.
He wasnt a rookie He was a pro! The shame of being crushed in their last gaming match still haunted him.
He shot to his feet.
Celine, lets see if you dare play another match with me! Celine raised a brow.
oh, Im busy Benjamin nearly exploded.
You- Robin couldnt help laughing aloud.
It seemed like, aside from Adam, the only person Benjamin couldnt handle was Celine.
She believed that one day, Celine would have him completely under her thumb.
Just then, Lacy appeared and announced, Celin Celine, youre here since everyones gathered, Id like to introduce someone to you all Larry stepped into the room and stood before everyone.
Lucy smiled and said, This is Celines adoptive father from the countryside Benjamin and the others stared at Larry.
Ben, is this really Celines adoptive father? Why is he a oneeyed man Benjamin sneered.
It looks like Celine never had a good background shes not good enough for Adam.
Celines gazeturned icy as the scene unfolded.
She finally understood Lucys and Carlys plan.
They had brought Larry here today to torment her.
Larry walked toward her, reaching out as if to embrace her, Celine, its me.
Before he could get closer, Robin stepped in front of Celine.
She spat coldly, Stay away from her, you scum! Dont you dare lay a filthy hand on her! Larry traze, adopting a pitiful demeanor.
Celine, Im your adoptive father.
I raised you in the countryside.
Now that youn re marned into a wealthy family and living a good life, you decided to cut ties with me? Are you ashamed of me now? Carly seized the opportunity, Celine, thats not right.
Hes your adoptive father, after all.
You should bring him home and take care of him properly.
Celine fixed her eyes on Larry, who let a vile grin slip beneath his humble mask.
It was as if he were silently taunting her that she could never get rid of him, no matter what
