Chapter 29
“Ahh!“Carly’s scream forced Adam to slam on the brakes, bringing the Rolls–Royce to a sudden halt.
Gasping for air, she was visibly shaken. “Adam, why were you driving so fast?
Adam’s expression remained dark. He glanced ahead, noticing that the Lamborghini he had nearly caught up to had already sped off into the distance during his brief stop.
Pressing his lips together, he asked, “Are you okay?
Carly nodded and replied, “I’m fine”
She then added bitterly, “I can’t believe Celine is now cozying up to Nathan, Did you see her dancing in the club earlier? I bet she spent her time in the countryside learning tricks to seduce men after dropping out of school at 16! That woman has no shame!”
Adam’s gaze humed icy as images of Celine dancing alluringly on the dance floor replayed in his mind. Carly was right–Celine clearly knew how to seduce men. That must be why Nathan, who had such high standards for women, fell for her charm
“Adam, did you finalize the divorce with Celine today?” Garly asked.
“Not yet,” Adam replied.
Carly was taken aback. “Why not? I thought you went to settle it today.”
“Grandma is very fond of Celine. Considering her health, I decided to postpone the divorce for now” Adam explained.
Mary intervened in the divorce?
Adam and Celine’s divorce had to be finalized soon–no one, not even Mary, could stand in her way!
Half an hour later, Adam arrived home, parking his Bolls–Royce on the lawn of Alvarez Residence. Entering the living room, he found it empty. Celine was nowhere to be seen.
His irritation grew. She should have been home by now, Nathan must have dropped her off long ago. Unless they had gone somewhere else together.
Pilling out her phone, Adam dialed her number. When she answered after a brief ringtone, he asked coldly, “Celine Tate, why aren’t you home yet?11
Celine replied calmly, “Have you forgotten, Mr. Alvarez? I told you I won’t be returning to Alvarez Residence anymore.”
Adam retorted, “How am I supposed to explain that to Grandma if she doesn’t see you? Get back here this instant! Why do you insist on staying out? Who are you even with?
