At that moment, Adam stood up. "Mom, I don't see the point in staying for this

"Adam? Adam!" Grace called after him, but he didn't turn back.

Carly watched him leave, a dark glint flashing in her eyes.

For the past three years, she had run into countless walls with Adam. Yet, the

more unattainable he was, the more she wanted him.

Now that she was the daughter of the wealthiest man in the country, there was

nothing she couldn't have.

She walked over to Grace and said, "Mrs. Alvarez, did you see that?"

Grace was furious. "Carly, this is all Adam's fault. Don't worry. I'll make sure he

"Carly, you're too good to him."

"Mrs. Alvarez, this isn't Adam's fault. If anyone's to blame, it's Celine. She's back

in Kinthorne again, stirring up trouble with Adam. Everyone knows about the

Alvarez-Hampton engagement, but she just had to show up right when we're

about to get married. She's manipulative, no doubt about it."
