Carly drew in a sharp breath, unable to believe what she had just heard. Adam actually expected her to grovel at Celine's feet.
She staggered back two steps, nearly losing her balance before Lucy caught her.
Lucy said, "Mr. Alvarez, how can you do this to Carly? You're just helping Celine humiliate her!"
Adam cast a cold glance at Lucy and asked, "What about you? Isn't Celine your biological daughter? Look at what you've done to her."
Lucy was stunned into silence.
Celine's sharp, almond-shaped eyes locked onto Carly. "Carly, are you doing this or not? My time is valuable, and I don't intend to waste it on you."
Hailey chuckled as she said, "Carly, if you don't grovel now, next time, even if you want to, you'll have to wait in line."
Carly's already pale face lost the last traces of color.
Celine had no patience for her hesitation. "Looks like you haven't made up your mind. I'm leaving."
"Let's go, Celine."
Hailey took Celine's arm, preparing to leave.
Carly clenched her fists tightly at her sides. Just as they were about to walk away, she shouted, "Fine, Celine! I'll do it!"
Celine stopped and turned back, looking at Carly.
With a dull thud, Carly dropped to her knees.
Right in front of the most powerful elites of Mercity, Carly groveled at Celine's feet.
Celine's gaze swept across Sonia, Lucy, Carly, and Tracy. "How did my dad die?"
The question sent a jolt through Sonia and Lucy.
Celine continued, "Who killed my dad? I want an answer. Three days from now on, I want every single person responsible for his death to confess their crimes at his grave before turning yourself in."
Sonia and Lucy stared at her. At that moment, her clear eyes burned with a cold, cutting intensity. It was sharp and unstoppable, like a blade drawn from its sheath.
Celine said, "Did you really think this was the end? NoβI'm telling you, this is just the beginning! For years, you've lived in wealth and privilege at the cost of my dad's life. Now, it's time for you to pay it all back!"
With that, Celine turned and walked away.
Her graceful, untouched figure soon vanished into the night.
