Carly scoffed. "I seem to recall Mr. McCormick is a married man. Isn't Celine supposed to be dating Perry? So why is she suddenly targeting Mr. McCormick? How shameless."
With that, she stepped forward. "Celine."
Celine turned, her gaze landing on Adam and Carly.
She raised an eyebrow and greeted them, "Mr. Alvarez, Carly—what a surprise."
"Celine, I'm sure you'd rather not be seen by us. Aren't you worried we might expose your little secret?" Carly said, her tone laced with sarcasm.
It seemed she had no clue that Celine was the founder of Alpite Pharma. Noticing Carly's disrespect, Owen immediately stepped in. "Ms. Carly, why are you being so rude?"
"Mr. McCormick, why are you defending her?" Carly shot back. "Does your wife know you're out dining with Celine?"
"I—"
Before Owen could respond, Celine raised a hand, signaling him to step back.
Owen took the hint and moved aside.
Celine's eyes glinted with amusement. "Carly, you clearly have something to say. Why not just come out with it? Are you suggesting that I'm having an affair with Mr. McCormick?"
Carly smirked. "Well, we all know Alpite Pharma is the largest listed medical company in the country—well-known, influential, and with an impeccable reputation.
"As its director, Mr. McCormick must face a lot of temptation. Celine, I can see why you'd try to use your charms to get his attention."
Owen shot her a look of disbelief, as if she were the biggest fool he had ever come across.
"But Mr. McCormick is a married man," Carly continued. "Celine, do you have no shame? Isn't Mr. Marshall enough for you? Why do you keep seducing taken men?"
Celine quickly realized Carly had misunderstood the situation, though it didn't surprise her. With a sly smile, she replied, "Carly, you know what they say—when someone's rotten inside, they assume the whole world stinks."

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
That’s just great! Let me guess, the truth won’t be revealed because Lucy and Carly poison those kidnappers and the doctors lol. In the end Adam will take Carly sides again lol! Same old same old....
