Chapter 447

The crowd surrounded Sonia and Lucy, marveling at how they could have raised such an exceptional daughter like Celine.

Tonight's banquet was filled with elites from all walks of life-the very people Sonia had always dreamed of impressing.

Sonia, who had spent her life chasing vanity and prestige, longed to stand on the highest stage and be admired by everyone.

She had pinned all her hopes on Carly and Tracy, indulging in the fantasy of Carly marrying Adam and Tracy securing a future with Dr. C, believing they would be her ticket to the top.

To her surprise, Celine had effortlessly accomplished what Carly and Tracy had failed to achieve.

Now, she was finally the center of admiration.

Yet, this was not how she had envisioned it.

Sonia forced an awkward smile, while Lucy clenched her fists and barely managed a smile more painful than a grimace.

At that moment, Celine turned her gaze to Sonia and Lucy. With a smile, she said, "You don't need to ask Mrs. Tate Senior and Mrs. Tate for advice anymore— because I've already cut ties with them."

The room fell into stunned silence.
