Hailey smirked. "Carly is just getting her just desserts. She stole Celine's identity and lived in luxury for years. Three days of suffering is nothing compared to what she took."
Celine's expression remained cold. Right now, her only focus was avenging her father.
She turned her head toward the window and was surprised to see that several roads were blocked.
"Why are these roads closed?"
Hailey also frowned. "This is one of the main routes in Mercity. I've never seen the roads here shut down before. Did something happen?"
Adam glanced outside, his brows furrowing slightly. "I have no idea."
Hailey raised an eyebrow. "So, even you, the most powerful man in Mercity, don't know about this? That's a first."
Adam found it odd as well. He pulled out his phone and said, "Let me make a call to find out."
He dialed Leo's number.
Leo's respectful voice came through immediately. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez."
"Why are so many roads blocked today?"
"Sir, I've noticed this unusual situation as well. It's not just the roadsβI've heard the airport has been shut down too."
Adam pressed his lips tightly together. "Why?"
"Sir, I've been told that a high-ranking figure from Capitol is arriving in Mercity today."
A high-ranking figure from Capitol?
Adam's expression remained unreadable as he asked, "Where are the Tates now?"
"Sir, they've already arrived at the cemetery. They're waiting for you."
Their eyes met in silence.
Adam said in a steady voice, "Don't worry, Celine. I'm here."

Soon, the luxury cars pulled into the cemetery. Celine stepped out and realized it was raining. A fine mist of rain drifted through the cold winter air, stinging her skin. The chill seeped into her bones.
Just then, something covered her. She looked up to see Adam holding a black umbrella over her head. Raindrops drummed softly against the fabric before rolling off into the damp earth.
Adam stood tall beside her. "Celine, everyone's here. Let's go."
She lifted her gaze toward the cemetery.
Sonia, Hayden, Lucy, Tracy, Wayne, and Hazel were all there. Everyone from the Tate family was present.

So it's Fiona and Nigel story now? Not Celine and Adam? What happened to this story? What I want I want is for them to find the truth about their real daughter.. you're just making the story long when will Carly punished with all her wrong doings.....
Now for next I want the two of them to know their daughter is always with them this whole time. Don't go another path now dear Author coz I'm getting tired of seeing Carly's name ruining Celine's life....
All I want is Nigel and Fiona to discover Celine as their daughter and kill that Carly b*tch πππ...
