Chapter 6

Benjamin was assigned to learn that Celine dropped out of school at the age of 16. People associated with Benjamin respected Carly not just because she was beautiful but also because she was incredibly smart. She graduated from a top–tier college, and in Mercity’s high society, no one was more accomplished than her. She was the perfect match for Adam. Bear alone hadn’t gotten that far. It looked pale with brains that really mattered. The higher up you went in society, the more they valued a woman’s education. Benjamin lost all the goodwill he had toward Celine. His tone was full of disdain. “Celine, you seriously dropped out at in? Ordine glanced at the proud Carly and smiled calmly. “Weah, you’re right.” Tegin scoffed, “Well, funny coincidence. Mom also dropped out at 16. But unlike you, he’s the real deal. At 16, he earned his double master’s degrees from Haffard Univers.ty, He made history. On the other hand, you stopped studying and probably didn’t even finish high school. Carle acted like she was all above Celine, looking down on her. Rall and handsome, Adam stood there in silence, the hallway lights casting a cool glow on his striking, aloof face as he looked at Celine. For the past three years, Celine had been a housewife, her life revolving around him. It made sense that she hadn’t pursued much education. Ole did seem embarrassed or back down. In fact, her clear, bright eyes met his as she smiled gracefully and said. “Yeah, such a coincidence.” Adam felt a strange flutter in his chest, though he couldn’t quite explain why. He couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Celle’s eyes were–bright and full of life, drawing his attention in aware that made him feel connected to her. “Celine!” Just then, Rabin came running over, looking terrified. “Carly, are you bullying Celine again?” Carly held her head high. “We’re not bullying Celine. We were actually trying to help her find a job.” Fobin was stunned. “You’re helping her dob Curly continued with an air of generosity, “Yeah. Even though Celine doesn’t have a degree or a high school diploma, we’ll do our best to find her a good job. Robin laughed, clearly annoyed. “Do you even know who Celine really is? She’s—” There she could finish. Celine grabbed her arm and stopped her. Kobinn, lors go! Robin swallowed her words, but she said to Curly disdainfully, “You’ll get what’s coming to you one day. With that, Robin and Celine walked away. Fusing Benjamin said, “What’s her deal? She dropped out at 16, and she’s acting like this? Where I were her, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face.” Carly didn’t get angry. In fact, she had never even bothered to take Celine seriously. Celine won’t. Dam standards. She smiled at Benjamin, “Benjamin, forget it. Ignorance bi bliss.” Benjamin then turned to Adam and said, “Adam, you need to divorce Celine. You deserve better.” Adam maintained the same cool demeanor while looking at Carly. “Let’s go.” Carly responded with a ned. Worthy of being her rival. Getting upset over the line would only lower her. Benjamin and Carly followed Adam out. When Adam looked up, he saw a familiar face–the President of Halland University, Samuel Peyton. He approached him, “Mr. Peyton, what brings you to Mercity? Carly held a lot of respect for Samu. Although she was academically gifted, she had never had the chance to enter a prestigious university, the Haffard. Samuelamed “I’m here for a seminar. Funny coincidence, yjunior isoris ako in Mercity.” Adan pained. “My junior?” Samuel said, “We have had big names at afford. First, there’s Adam, and then there’s your junior here, just like you; she’s got her double degrees at 16. She’s incredibly smart. Too bad you’re a few years apart, so you don’t know her.” Benjamin raised an eyebrow, “Wow, this junior of yours is that impressive? How does she compare to you?! Samud smiled and glanced at Ada. “They’re equally matched.“. Adam raised an eyebrow, but he had met a girl who could match him before. Carly was hearing about this genius junior for the first time. While she didn’t have anything against Cline, this Impressive junior immediately sparked her jealousy and curiosity. Samuelpalled out his phone. “Mr. Ahares, we sent you your junkar’s member. You should get in touch with her. She’s also in Mercity, and as her senior, you should look out for her. Adam nodded. “Got It, Mr. Peyton.” Samuel Lett and Benjamin urged, “Adam, check out her WhatsApp now. I want to see what she looks like.” noveldrama Adam pulled out his phone and searched for Dan's number that Samuel gave her on WhatsApp. The name was just a letter–C, with a white cover photo. Benjamin frowned. “What does the ‘C‘ mean?” Adam wasn’t sure. Still, he added the number to his contacts. Carly aroused their fascination with this Junior, and felt annoyed. Just then, a Rolls–Royce pulled up, and Adan’s personal assistant, Leo Zimes, got out. Carly quickly ended the discussion. “Adam, the car’s home. Let’s go.” Berjanda was. “Adan, Carly, see you later.” The all–Royce cried smoothly down the road. Inside the quiet, luxurious cabin, Leo, who was behind the wheel, looked into the rearview mirror and asked, “Where to, Mr. Adam simply said, The ice.” Ly looked at Adam, the city’s meen lights spilling through the window and lighting up his handsome, mysterious face. His eyes softened with affection. “Adam, what’s been going on been you and Celine? Don’t tell me you’re starting to find her pretty and want something to happen between you. Adam glared at him, his voice nonchalant, almost lazy. “She’s my wife. Anything between us is normal. Didn’t you push her onto me? Carly knew he was still mad at her for what had happened three years ago. Back then, Criling had to marry Adam in her place because she had left him. She tried to explain. “Adam, Celine insisted on marrying you,u couldn’t just stand in her way—” Adam looked at her coldly, “Do you think you sound convincing? Carly bit her lip, upset.“Tine, I left you three years ago. If you couldn’t look past it, then let’s break up You don’t have to be with me.” Colynomed to Den and said, “Loo, stop the car!” She was about to put out, but Adan’s hand shot out, grabbing her wrist with surprising strength and pulling her into his chest. With a mark of exasperation and affection, he said, “Carly, you’re just taking advantage of me because you know I spoil you too much.”
