Their eves met
Looking at Adam earnestly, Celine did her best to exin, “Adam, I didn’t send that picture to <b>Grandma</b>. I <b>won’t </b>admit to something I’ve never done.”

spare was piercingly cold. He ordered<b>, </b>“Celine Tate, apologize <b>now</b>!”
Adam’s p
with reddened eyes, Celine stood straight and refuted, “Let me say it again. I will not apologize because <b>I </b>didn’t do it”
There was a dark look in Adam’s eys. “If I’m not mistaken, your best friend Robin works in a small magazinepany, right?”
<b>Achill </b>ran down Celine’s spine, making her shudder. Did he want to make a move on the people around her<b>? </b>
Carly and Lucy watched Celine with a condescending expression.
Celine curled her fists. Adam had <b>crushed </b>her pride by letting the two women trample o
over her.
Tears of humiliation welled in Celine’s eyes as she apologized slowly, “I’m sorry, Carly.”
Cely smiled. ‘T’ll let it go this time. Don’t do it again, okay?”
Lucy <b>added</b>, “Celine, did you think you’d win by having Mrs. Alvarez Senior on your side? Mr. Aharez doesn’t even love you.” Colour drained from Celine’s 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. “I’m teaching you that as women, we should rely on men, not old <b>hags</b>.”
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. That’s a risky move!”
“You’re not too dumb, after all. That’s right, <b>it </b>was me who sent it. Did you think I’d suck up to Mrs. Alvarez Senior when she doesn’t even like me?
“You’re wrong, it’s <b>her </b>loss for not liking me. I will make her <b>lose </b>her beloved grandson.” Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Celine stared at Carly in disbelief. “That’s Adam’s grandmother!”
Carly scored, “So what? She’s just an obstacle to my sess.”
“You’re crazy!” Celine eximed. She turned around and <b>walked </b>toward the door.
Just then, Carly’s 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 couldn’t see Celine’s expression because thetter had her <b>back </b>against them.
Celine slowly straightened her back. The hurdation and shock were reced with an icy smark
is that so? You’re getting ahead of yourself, Carly,” Celine thought
When Celine stepped out of the ward, Adam’s figure <b>came </b>into view. He stood outside the <b>door </b>with his phone in his hand.
Celine <b>bad </b>dialed Adam’s number earlier. Thus, he had heard the entire conversation between Celine and Carly.
