Benjamin gasped. "Was that country bumpkin who shamelessly married Adam talking about her? She would teach him a lesson on Adam's behalf? What had this world come to?"

Adam was the only person in Mercity who dared to employ an infamous troublemaker like him!

Celine tugged on Robin's hand. "Robin, let's go."

The two started walking out. But just as they reached the door, Adam grabbed Celine's hand. The moment their skin touched, it felt as if electricity surged between them, bringing both their minds back to that night at Westwood Villa, when he had cornered her against the wall.

Celine quickly pulled her hand back.

Adam stared at her and swallowed hard. "Celine, this won't happen again."

Celine met his gaze. "Mr. Alvarez, please settle things with your grandmother as soon as possible. I'm ready to divorce you anytime. I've been wanting to give the title back to Carly."

With that, Celine walked out with Robin. Adam frowned at her retreating figure.

Benjamin complained loudly, "Adam, what's with Celine acting all high and mighty?"

Adam shot him a glare.

Benjamin pouted. "She won against me in a game earlier!"

Adam raised an eyebrow in surprise. "She won?" He knew Benjamin's gaming skills; it was rare for anyone to beat him.

Benjamin sulked. "No way, I have to play her again." He pulled out his phone and sent Celine a challenge in the game. Celine was still online and accepted his request. Soon, the match began.

This time, Benjamin didn't waste time showing off. He charged at her with his sword. "Take this!" The game-over screen popped up.

"Damn it!" Benjamin shot to his feet. Just as he was charging, Celine once again descended from above, her glowing aura taking him out in one clean hit. He lost again.

Benjamin was on the verge of a meltdown; he had been utterly dominated. How could this happen? He was supposed to be a pro!

Adam's eyes flickered with interest. He hadn't expected Celine to be this good at gaming. Her reflexes were fast, and Benjamin didn't stand a chance. He thought about the genius student from university. Her speed was unmatched during a programming competition. Could there be a connection between the two? Impossible! Adam quickly dismissed the idea.

Just then, Benjamin yelled, "Adam, look at what Celine just sent me!" Adam glanced at Benjamin's phone. Celine had messaged him in the game: "You're so bad at the game."

He was bad at the game? Benjamin was furious. "This is outrageous! An insult to my dignity! She's looking down on me!"

Adam chuckled. She was quite interesting.

Adam caught sight of Celine outside through the window; she was walking down the street with Robin. Her long hair cascaded gently over her shoulders, giving her an air of elegance.
