Celine woke up early that day and dragged Hailey along with her. âHailey, letâs go. Iâll take you somewhere fun.
Celine, where are we going? Everyoneâs heading to the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium today. I heard that Mr. Alvarez and the genius girl are making a joint appearance.â Haileyâs eyes sparkled, ready to gossip.
Celine curved her lips into a sly smile. âThatâs exactly where weâre going.â
Hailey was stunned. What?
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the venue. The event was bustling with renowned academic elites from all walks of life. The lively atmosphere was almost electrifying From a distance, Celine spotted a few familiar faces. Melody was among them, surrounded by classmates from Yorhine University.
The public confession from Ewan a few days ago had turned her into a laughingstock, but she had quickly leveraged her fatherâs connections to secure an invitation to this event With her classmates tawning over her, Melody had regained her pride. Today, she carried herself with confidence, a smug smile never leaving her face. Celine noticed other members of the Tate family like Sonia, Carly, Lucy, Tracy, Hazel, and the extended family members.
seemed like the whole family had come. Just as they had said, they were here to witness the genius girlâs glory.
Carly was the first to spot Celine. âCeline, what are you doing here?â
Tracyâs haughty gaze fell on Celine brinuming with disdain. âThis is the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium, Celine. You dropped out of school at 16. Are you here to embarrass the Tate family?â
Soniaâs tone was cold and stem. âCeline, leave now. This event is by invitation only. Do you even have one?â
Celineâs clear eyes calmly met their judgmental pazes. She shook her head. âNo. I donât have an invitation.â
Of course, she didnât. The Tate family wasnât surprised in the slightest, To them, it wouldâve been strange if Celine have an invitation.
Lucy chimed in. âCeline, then youâd better leave before security kicks you cut in front of everyone.â
Just then, Melody approached with her classmates, a muching grin plastered on her face. âOh, isnât this campus legend, the Goddess of ?
Her classmates immediately joined in on the ridicule. âThe Goddess of Sleepâs actually awake and attending the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium? Thatâs hilarious!â
Melody looped one arm through Carlyâs and the other through Tracyâs, grinning smugly. âLet me introduce you all. These are the Goddess of Sleepâs sisters. But unlike her, theyâre accomplished âTracy here is a PhD graduate from the Ivy Plus Program, and Carly graduated from the Summit Scholars Program. Meanwhile, Celine is just the Goddess of Sleep!â
Tracy and Carly had always been praised for their stellar achievements, earning them the title of the Tate familyâs rwin jewels.
classmates burst our laughing. âCeline, arenât you even a little ashamed?â
âYeah, Celine. Go back to sleep instead of embarrassing yourself here The mockery was relentless, but Celine wasnât . On the contrary, she smiled brightly at them.
Halley, however, was livid. These people were going too far!
Pointing at Sonia and Lucy, she shouted, âWhat kind of family are you? Youâre supposed to be Celineâs mother and grandmother, but youâre the one leading the charge to humiliate her! Are you even sure Celine is your real family?â
Celine was used to this treatment. She had long accepted that having a family like hers was no different from being an orphan That sentence hit Sonia hard. Her flickered for a split second. Though Celine was indeed Aaronâs biological daughter, she had always favored .
After all, Hayden had brought Carly back from the capital. Carly wasnât even Haydenâs biological daughter. Her real dad held a status so lofty it couldnât be put into words, Carlyâs background was truly extraordinary.
Of course, this secret was buried deep within Sonia and Haydenâs hearts. It wasnât something they would ever reveal.
Sonia looked at Celine coldly and said, âCeline, donât ever tell people Iâm your grandmother, I donât have a granddaughter like !â Halley was stunned. She hadnât expected Sonla to be so heartless even saying something like that in public. Her fury boiled over. âWhat?â
