Chapter <b>59 </b>


    Celine didn’t respond.


    The maid immediately mocked her “Celine, do you really think of yourself as the eldest daughter of the Tate family? Let me remind you, the Tate family only has two daughters- Carly and Tracy<b>” </b>


    “That’s right! Ms. Tracy is now Dr. C’s assistant, and Ms. Carly will soon be Mrs. Alvarez. But look at you–you’re nothing!” Another maid chimed in.


    pand take the soup upstairs!” theyrged.


    “Hurry up a


    The two maids clearly looked down on Celine.


    celine remained silent. She simply took the soup and made her way toward the room.


    As she entered the hall, Adam, who was talking to a <b>few </b>other businessmen, noticed her. He frowned


    Wasn’t she supposed to be the eldest daughter of the Tate tamily? Why was she acting like a maid? Was this the kind of treatment she received at home?


    Adam’s expression hardened. He couldn’t believe that Celine, who was usually hold and defiant with him, had suddenly be quiet and submissive in front of others


    So, it seemed that she one dared to act out toward him.


    The room was empty when Celine entered. Just as she ced the soup on the table, she suddenly caught a strange scent in the air.


    Although the smell was faint and colorless, her sharp senses immediately picked up on it. Within the next second, her eyes closed, and she copsed onto the bed.


    Momentster, the door creaked open, and someone slipped inside.


    It was Hansel Garcia Lucy’s nephew. He was known for being a yer.


    Hansel made his way to the bed and leered closer to Celine, who was passed out on the bed.


    “Why didn’t Aunt Lucy tell me this country bumpkin was so pretty? Looks like I hit the jackpot tonight.”


    Hansel reached for the hem of her clothes.


    “You’ve got no one to me but yourself. If you hadn’t insisted on <b>the </b>position of Mrs. Alvarez, none of this would’ve happened.


    “You’re all mine now! Aunt Lucy will lead the others in soon. Your reputation will bepletely ruined–it‘ be such a scandal that even Mrs. Tate Senior won’t be able to protect you! Adam will surely divorce you and marry Carly.


    “<b>And </b>just in case you try to deny itter, I’ll take some explicit photos and videos of you… That way, you’ll have no choice but to obey me from now on.”


    He chuckled darkly.


    Suddenly<b>, </b>Celine opened her eyes


    Hansel froze. “H–How are you awake?”


    Celine looked at him coldly. “I was only pretending to be unconscious. Otherwise, how else would <b>I </b><b>have </b>learned about Lucy’s interesting little n?” Hansel’s expression turned pale. “Y–You!”


    Before be could react, Celine swiftly grabbed a packet of powder and threw it at him.


    Hansel’s vision blurred. He immediately copsed onto the bed, unconscious. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Celine sneered coldly. She didn’t expect Lucy to try the same trick twice. Couldn’t shee up with something new?


    Nevertheless, Lucy did step up her game this time.


    While Carly was enjoying her time in the spotlight with Adam downstairs, Lucy was trying to ruin her–hoping to tarnish her reputation <b>with </b>explicit photos


    How could any mother do that to her own daughter?


    As Celine stood <b>up</b>, <b>a </b>n formed in her mind–she wanted to give Lucy a taste of her own medicine.


    As she reached for the door, she froze on the spot. There was someone outside who was trying to open the door.


    <b>Celine </b>was curious about who it could possibly be. <b>She </b>quickly hid behind the door, her eyes sharp and alert. She moved her hand <b>to </b>her waist, where she quietly pulled out <b>a </b><b>silver </b>
