Chapter 433

Celine was here! Carly was stunned. "Why did Celine show up?" Adam's gaze fell intently on Celine.

Just then, Celine approached, and Perry put his arm around her waist. "Celine, you're here." Sonia, Carly, Tracy, and Lucy gathered around. Looking at Celine, Sonia asked, "Celine, why are you here? To see Dr. C as well? Dr. C truly lives up to her reputation as a nationally renowned genius. So many admire her that even a housewife like you knows her name."

Celine raised a delicate eyebrow. "That's right, I'm here to see Dr. C."

Tracy sneered. "Celine, even if you see Dr. C, so what? Dr. C won't talk to someone like you."

Celine looked at Tracy. "Then, will Dr. C talk to you?"

"Of course," Tracy replied proudly. "I studied medicine."

Lucy chimed in, "Celine, the real Dr. C has arrived in Mercity. This is a big day. Put away your schemes and don't disgrace the Tate family's reputation."

Celine smiled, saying nothing. Perry smirked at the Tate family members. Soon, they would all realize their folly. Adam, with a cool, distant gaze, asked Celine, "You're here to see Dr. C?"

Celine nodded. "Yes."

Perry announced, "Judging by the time, Dr. C should be appearing now."

"Then, I'll excuse myself," Celine said, departing.

After Celine left, Carly, arm in arm with Adam, said disdainfully, "Adam, I think Celine is scheming. She knows Dr. C can save me, and she wants to prevent it."

Sonia nodded. "Right. Later, we'll ensure Dr. C stays away from Celine."

Adam pursed his lips, silent. Perry smirked. "Then, once Dr. C makes her entrance, the real show begins."

Celine went upstairs to touch up her makeup. Soon, she would appear as Dr. C. The expressions on Sonia, Carly, Tracy, and Lucy's faces would be priceless. They still believed her to be just an unaccomplished housewife.

A waiter approached. "Ms. Tate, you may go out now."

Celine stood, then paused. Turning to the waiter, she asked, "What did you just call me?" He had called her Ms. Tate, not Dr. C.

A cold gleam flashed in Celine's sharp eyes. "Who are you? Who sent you?"

As she finished, a sharp pain struck the back of her neck. Someone had ambushed her. Celine fell unconscious.

"Quick, take her away," the waiter whispered.

Adam and the others were still in the hall, including Carly. Her phone buzzed with a text: "It's all taken care of." She smiled.

"Adam, I'm going to the restroom."

Adam looked at her. "Dr. C is about to appear, and you're going to the restroom?"

Dr. C was important, but her plan was even more so. Carly said, "Adam, because Dr. C is about to appear, I'm nervous. I need to go. I'll be right back." She left.
