Chapter <b>38 </b>
Celine immediately headed back the way she came. She saw Melody panicking and grabbing Adam’s arm. “Adam, Carly was abducted!”
“By whom?” Adam’s expression shitted instantly,
“Grandma!” said Melody “Grandma had some men take her away!”
<b>What</b>?
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 Celine’s direction. “Celine! You must’ve been behind this!”
To Adam, <b>she </b><b>said</b><b>, </b>“Adam, someone gave Grandma <b>a </b>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, Celine’s probably the person who <b>gave </b>Grandma the picture!
Celine’s gaze turned cold. Did someone give Mary a picture? Celine wasn’t aware of that.
“Adam, Celine’s 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 Carly’s heart condition to get rid of Carly with Grandma’s help!
Melody had barely finished speaking when Celine felt Adam’s cold gaze on her, and he strode over to her.
“<b>Adam</b>, 1 didn “L” Celine denied.
Adam spat coldly, “You’d better pray that Carly’s fine”
With that said, he stormed off, leaving Celine and Melody in the <b>corridor </b>
Melody looked at Celine with a sadistic smile. Celine’s face paled, knowing that Adam didn’t believe her. He must’ve thought that she <b>had </b>sent Mary the picture.
She was indeed the most suspicious among all the people. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .
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 Mary’s stern voice saying, “Carly, how could you be so insolent? Adam and Celine are married, so he’s your brother–inw How could you ruin their family?”
She carried on beating her, “<b>You </b>left when you felt like it back then, and you came back after three whole years, Did you think you could still be Adam’s wife after all that? You’re so selfish and greedy<b>!</b>”
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, “That’s not it..“”
Furious, Mary roared, “I’ll give <b>you </b><b>a </b>chance to leave Adam alone and head back to whichever country you came from before you returned. Don’t evere back!”
Carly was so terrified at Mary’s outburst that she started trembling. Even <b>so</b>, she shook her head and said, “<b>Sorry</b>, but I can’t 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? I’ll teach you a lesson in your parents‘ stead”
Alfred had been standing beside Mary all the whole. He <b>handed </b>her a whip. It was a tradition that ran in the Alvarez family.
Mary swung the whip at Carly, making theter yelp in fear.
The whip made a loud <b>and </b>crisp sound, but it didn’tnd on Carly’s body. It struck Adam instead.
Adam had barged into the study and hugged Carly so that she <b>was </b>entirely shielded in his arms. The whip struck him heavily across the back.
