Chapter Bi When Celine stepped out of the bathroom, Adam was already gone. He was likely summoned away by Carl Just then, her phone rang It was Lacy.
Carlyâs call. She curled her lips in selfâmockery.
Celine picked up the call Lucy said warmly, âCarly has invited some friends over today. Why donât you join us?â
Since when was Lucy so kind
Celineâs voice was calm. âAlright, Iâll head over now.â
Robin got the news and rushed over immediately. âCeline, I donât trust Lucy. That scumbag Larry is out of prison. Are you sure you want to go to the Tate Manor?
Celine remained composed. âThereâs something I need to confirm Robin was worried. So she decided to accompany Celine to Tate Manor.
The Tate Manor was bustling. Carly had invited several of her friends, including Benjamin and a few wealthy heirs from their social circle.
Benjaminâs expression darkened the moment he Celine. âCeline Carly answered with a bright smile, Benjamin, I invited her.â
âCarly, why would you do that? We want to hang out with her.â Benjamin clearly disliked Celine.
Celine wasnât angry at all. She blinked her long eyelashes and looked at Benjamin, the little tyrant of the group. Smiling faintly, she said, âI donât want to play with a rookie either.â Benjamin was exasperated. He wasnât rookie He was a pro!
The shame of being crushed in their last match still haunted him. He shot to his feet. â

Before he could get closer, Robin stepped in front of Celine. She spat coldly, âStay away from her, you scum! Donât you dare lay a filthy hand on her!â
Larry traze, adopting a pitiful demeanor.
âCeline, Iâm your adoptive father I raised you in the countryside. Now that youân âre marned into a wealthy family and living a good life, you decided to cut ties with me? Are you ashamed of me now?
Carly seized the opportunity, âCeline, thatâs not right. Heâs your adoptive father, after all. You should bring him home and take care of him properly.â
Celine fixed her eyes on Larry, who let vile grin slip beneath his humble mask. It was as if he were silently taunting her that she could never get rid of him, no matter what
