Someone walked in.
Celine quickly lunged at that person with the silver needle in her hand. But she missed.
The person swiftly dodged her and grabbed her wrist. "Celine, what are you doing?" His voice was cold, with a hint of anger.
Celine froze, and the needle slipped from her hand, clattering to the floor. It was Adam.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Adam released his grip on her wrist. He carefully scanned the room, and his gaze quickly landed on Hansel. "Who is he?"
Adam had noticed Hansel sneaking around and following Celine downstairs. So, he decided to follow him upstairs.
Just as Celine was about to respond, she heard footsteps approaching from outside. It was time for Lucy to face the consequences of her actions. She grabbed Adam's arm and quickly pulled him behind the curtains.
The door slammed open, and someone walked in.
"What—" Adam started, but she immediately cut him off.
"Shh! Be quiet," she whispered urgently.

Back in the hall, Carly, Hayden, Lucy, and
Sonia were happily chatting with several businessmen. Wayne and Hazel, on the other hand, stood off to the side, their eyes filled with jealousy

Sudden, a sharp scream echoed through the hall
Everyone in the hall froze Murmurs began to spread as everyone started to grow curious about what had happened.
“Mrs. Tate, I saw Celine going in there..”
“Celine?” the crowd murmured in disbelief. “Isn’t she the country bumpkin? She’s not having an affair in there, is she?”
Sonia slammed her walking stick on the floor angrily. “I knew she was a disgrace! How dare she cause trouble at my birthday banquet!”
Lucy and Carly exchanged a quick, satisfied glance. All the influential people in Mercity were here today. If Celine were caught in the act, her reputation would be completely destroyed.
Lucy pretended to slow deep concern. “I don’t believe that Celi
With that, she opened the door
Celine would do something like that I need to see it for myself.”
Inside, there were two figures entangled on the bed. Hansel was on top of a woman, ripping her clothes off
