Grace looked at Adam. "Adam, why did you come alone? Where's Carly?"
Just then, Carly cheerfully ran over. "Mrs. Alvarez, I'm here."
She had known Grace would be arriving in Mercity today, so she had come early.
Carly's appearance was flawless. Standing next to Adam, they looked like the perfect pair.
Grace examined Carly with evident satisfaction. "So, you're the Hampton heiress. You're beautiful."
Carly shyly took Grace's hand. "Mrs. Alvarez, you flatter me."
Grace patted Carly's hand gently. "Carly, our families have a marriage agreement. Tell me, do you like my son, Adam?"
Carly immediately looked up at Adam, her heart fluttering at the sight of his handsome, noble face. She bit her lip and replied, "Mrs. Alvarez, of course, I like Adam."
Grace smiled approvingly. "That's good. Carly, once you return to the Capitol, we'll arrange your wedding as soon as possible."
Carly nodded. "Alright, I have no objections."
However, Adam remained indifferent. "Mom, I won't marry Carly," he coldly said.
Carly froze.
Grace's expression darkened. "Marriage isn't a trivial matter, Adam. No one else will ever step through the Alvarez family's doors. Carly is the daughter-in-law I've chosen."
She turned to Carly reassuringly. "Don't worry, Carly. You have my full support. If Adam ever mistreats you, just tell me."
Carly was overjoyed. Just when she thought there was no hope with Adam, Grace had become her strongest ally.
Adam was an obedient son, and with Grace's support, Carly was confident she would soon become Mrs. Alvarez.
Celine would remain her defeated rival.
Adam pursed his lips. "I can't leave just yet."
Grace frowned. "You can delegate your work to your subordinates. The Capitol needs you—"
Before she could finish, Adam abruptly stood up. "Mom, I have business to handle at the company. I'll be leaving now."
With that, he turned and walked out.
The moment Adam left, Grace's expression darkened.
Carly pouted, feeling wronged. "Mrs. Alvarez, Adam doesn't seem to like me."
Grace reassured her, saying, "That's not true, Carly."
Carly hesitated before leaning in slightly. "Mrs. Alvarez, perhaps you don't know, but Adam is infatuated with a woman named Celine. She's already with another man and is even carrying his child, yet Adam is still obsessed with her."
