Adam wasn't sure if Celine would come, and neither was the Tate family. Everyone was waiting for her.

Just then, a Rolls-Royce Starlight arrived. The driver's door opened, revealing a beautiful, delicate figure. Celine was here.

Leo's eyes lit up. "Mr. Alvarez, Ms. Celine is here! Ms. Celine really is here!"

Adam raised his head to look at Celine.

Sonia stepped forward. "Celine, you're finally here. You were about to be late."

Celine smiled. "I'm not late. There's still a minute until our agreed-upon time. Are you so impatient you can't wait a second longer?" Sonia was speechless.

Carly immediately said, "Celine, stop. Where's the fake Dr. C?"

Carly looked around. Celine had come alone; there was no sign of the fake Dr. C.

Carly said, "Celine, you didn't bring the fake Dr. C? Ha! I knew you wouldn't be able to. You were just bragging and lying!"

With that, Carly tugged at Sonia's sleeve. "Grandma, you see? She didn't bring him. I told you so! How can a housewife like her have the means to get the fake Dr. C?"

Celine looked at Carly with amusement. "Carly, do you want me to bring out the fake Dr. C or not? You're a very contradictory person; do you have a split personality or something?"

Carly was speechless. Celine had revealed Carly's innermost thoughts. She was right; Carly's desires were contradictory. On the one hand, she hoped Celine would bring the fake Dr. C, wanting to return to her life as a wealthy heiress. However, she also hoped Celine wouldn't, because she doubted Celine's ability and didn't want Celine to surpass her.

Sonia glared at Carly irritably. "Stop talking! It doesn't help if Celine can't produce the fake Dr. C."

Carly fell silent, unhappy.

Tracy stepped forward. "Celine, it's time. Where's the fake Dr. C?"

Lucy agreed. "Celine, bring him out now. If you can't, you're a liar, and we won't let you off easily for wasting our time."

Celine smiled and clapped her hands. A black van sped up. Two men in black emerged, dragging a man with a sack over his head. They couldn't see his face.

Sonia asked, "Celine, is this the fake Dr. C?"

Celine said, "That's right. Take a good look."

Celine removed the sack, revealing the fake Dr. C's face. Everyone was shocked. Celine had brought him within the promised time. Carly and [presumably another character, the text has "Lary"]'s eyes widened in disbelief. "It really is the fake Dr. C!"
