They met again.
Celine had just cried, and the sheen of tears made her clear, doe-like eyes glisten even more. She was looking at him too.

I'm your daughter now, and Celine must be jealous and upset. If it makes her feel better, I don't mind letting her take it out on me." Nigel turned his gaze to Celine. "I don't know what kind of grudge you have against my daughter, and I don't care. But there's one thing I want to make clear- I hope you'll stop bullying Carly from now on." It was a warning.
Celine met his eyes. "Mr. Hampton, maybe you should worry about Carly's heart condition instead. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll lose her just as quickly as you found her." At the mention of her illness, Carly immediately clutched her chest in discomfort. "Dad, my heart hurts. Celine is the only one who can perform my surgery." Nigel looked at Celine. "Nyour price. What will it take for you to operate on my daughter?" Celine stepped forward and coldly said, "Mr. Hampton, aren't you powerful enough to protect Carly and the entire Tate family? Surely, you can find a way to treat Carly's heart condition yourself." With that, she turned to leave.
Nigel let out a short, incredulous laugh. People were usually terrified of him. Even Carly treated him with both reverence and fear. Yet Celine never seemed intimidated by him.

Hailey's eyes lit up. Finally, Adam was here. She quickly rushed to kim, whispering, "Adam, Mr. Hampton wants to take Celine away to perform surgery on Carly. You can't let him. Celine is still pregnant." Carly, who had always harbored feelings for Adam, called out to him sweetly, "Adam..." Yet Adam didn't even glance her way. Instead, he strode confidently to Celine's side and grasped her other arm.
Adam looked at Nigel and firmly said, "Mr. Hampton, let her go." Now, Celine was caught between Nigel and Adam, each holding one of her arms.

Adam glanced at Celine before turning his sharp gaze back to Nigel. "Mr. Hampton, you're mistaken I'm not fighting you for her. You're the one trying to take my woman away." He declared it outright-Celine was his woman.
Celine's clear eyes shifted to Adam's handsome, dignified face.
Nigel's expression darkened slightly. "Adam, if Celine is your woman, then what about Carly? You're engaged to her." The will be updated first on this website. Cback and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
