Amid the crowd's expectant gasps and applause, Cathy began to dance. Having trained since childhood, her body was as supple as a willow. With a high kick, she transitioned into a mesmerizing spin, captivating everyone's attention.

No one in Club 1996 could take their eyes off Carly. Radiating confidence, she spun her way over to Adam and pulled him up from his seat. Adam stood tall and lean as Carly's lithe body pressed against his, swaying with an alluring and seductive rhythm.

When the stunning duo's intimate dance pushed the club's atmosphere to its peak, Celine and Robin entered. Celine immediately spotted Adam and Carly standing in the dazzling center lights—Carly clinging to him as they danced, while Adam lowered his charming face to gaze at her tenderly. The two were undeniably the center of attention.

Robin immediately spat, "Ugh, has she no shame? Dancing so intimately with a married man!"

Celine chuckled and said, "Let them be. After all, they've always been known as the 'It' couple."

As they settled into their private booth, Robin still couldn't let it go. "Celine, you took dance lessons too, didn't you?"

Indeed, Celine had trained in dance, just like Carly. Back then, while Carly needed a full lesson to learn a routine, Celine could master it with just one glance. Their dance teacher was very fond of her. Carly would cry at home, which led Lucy to jab Celine's leg with a needle at night, scolding her, "Let's see if you dare to learn dancing again, you wicked girl! Why do you always have to compete with your sister?"

Little Celine's legs were covered in blood from the needle pricks. Curling up in a corner, she cried and begged for mercy. "Mommy, it hurts I'm sorry. I won't dance anymore" Celine never danced again after that. She later heard that Carly had made a name for herself in the dance world, becoming a prima ballerina.

Robin suddenly pulled Celine up and said, "Let's go dance in the crowd." She then dragged her onto the dance floor.

Initially, Celine felt embarrassed, but Robin made an exaggerated hip wiggle and said, "Celine, don't punish yourself for someone else's mistakes. Get back up where you fell. Look at how Carly flaunts herself to seduce your husband. Clearly, Adam prefers bold women. We need to be bolder than she is!"

Celine was amused. Under the influence of the pounding heavy metal music and Robin's encouragement, she began moving her hands and feet, dancing along. Dancing had always come as naturally to Celine as breathing. Moving closer to Robin, she let loose with a sultry routine of her own, dancing with abandon as the music heated up. Meanwhile, Carly was still dancing closely with Adam, whose gaze had never left her. She spun gracefully into his arms.

Adam held her wrists and asked softly, "Getting tired?"

Carly smiled and replied, "No. I just want you to hold me."

Adam raised an eyebrow, exuding his mature, masculine charm. He was undeniably fond of Carly—admiring her talent and brilliance.

Suddenly, a commotion stirred around them. The gazes fixed on Carly began to shift. Even the wealthy heirs in their booth turned their attention.

"Look! Over there!" someone shouted. "There's a diva dancing on the dance floor! Wow, she's hot!"

Adam and Carly both turned toward the dance floor and saw Celine. Adam's expression changed abruptly as Nathan stood up, exclaiming excitedly, "It's her!"
