NovelEnglishChapter 109 1/1 What? Adam was sending Celine to study? At Yorhine University? He had to be out of his mind. Yorhine University was a top-tier institution. What qualifications did Celine have to get in? Carly's face twisted with disbelief. "Adam, Celine dropped out of school when she was 16. She's just sgirl from the countryside! What does she know other than how to seduce men? What gives someone like her the right to attend Yorhine University?" Adam stared at Carly without saying a word. His gaze was firm and unyielding. It was obvious that his decision to send Celine to Yorhine University was final. There was no room for debate.
Carly was smart enough to realize that they had just started to mend their relationship. Picking a fight with Adam now would be unwise.
Besides, someone like Celine would only make a fool of herself at Yorhine University. When that happened, Adam would naturally grow even more disgusted with her.

She curved her lips into a smile. "Fine, Adam. I'll listen to you." Adam reached out and playfully pinched her nose. "Good." Carly snuggled into his embrace, her heart brimming with sweetness.
Celine returned to Alvarez Residence and waited in her bedroom for Adam to cback.
It was late into the night when two beams of light swept across the lawn. Adam had finally returned, driving his Rolls-Royce Phantom. He had probably been at the hospital with Carly all this time, which explained why he was back so late.
Soon, the bedroom door swung open. Adam stepped inside, bringing with him a wave of crisp, cool night air. Celine looked up at him. "How's Carly?" Adam, tall and imposing, strode in with his long legs. His well-defined fingers reached up to unbutton his suit jacket. "It's just a light wound. Nothing serious." Celine didn't look surprised. "Of course, she would never let herself suffer anything worse." Adam's eyes fell on her. Her clear, dark eyes were quietly fixed on him, calm but observant. "I know you didn't push her. She fell down the stairs on her own." Celine remained silent, waiting for him to continue. Under the soft light, Adam's handsface flickered between light and shadow. "But I can't let her fall down the stairs again." Celine almost laughed. Carly really was clever, at least when it cto manipulating Adam. This time, she hadn't even tried to frher. She just needed to roll down the stairs in front of him to achieve her goal.
There it was. The power of being loved without limits.
Celine looked at him. “You have something you want to tell me, don't you?" Adam studied her slender silhouette bathed in the warm light. Compared to Carly's entitled arrogance, Celine was so quiet, so composed. Almost obedient. She was smart too. She already knew what he was about to say.
His Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed. "Carly doesn't wantto share a room with you anymore." Carly didn't want him to share a room with Celine anymore.

Celine froze for a second. It felt like bee had stung her heart It was sharp and sudden followed by a lingering ache that clouded her senses.
Carly's smug voice echoed in her ears. "Celine, I'm just worried that you're flying too close to the sun. It's tbring you crashing back down to reality!" Carly did it. She had succeeded in putting her back in her place.
Celine's delicate face remained expressionless, but it had turned a m shade paler. Her laske lowered as NO she whispered, "I'll move out tonight.
I'll let Grandma know. I won't be coming back here anymore." With that, she turned and started walking toward the door.
Before she could leave, Adamn grabbed her wrist. "It's late. You can leave tomorrow."
