Chapter 266 Adam gazed out the window without turning his head and said , Leave it in the eward .
Leo was hesitant when he spoke again .
Mr.
Alvarez , Mrs.
Alvarez .
No , I mean Ms.
Tate , she … Before he could finish , Adam interrupted , Were already divorced .
You dont need to report port to me about her anymore .
Leo froze for a moment before responding respectfully .
Understood .
He then turned and left .
Just then , Carly emerged .
She had overheard the conversation .
A faint smile played on her lips .
She knew Adam had always been decisive .

Once he divorced Celine , he would sever all ties with her .
Now , his heart and eyes were ere only for Catly .
She was his true love .
She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him from behind .
He didnt need to look back to know she was there .
His gaze shifted from the window to the two delicate , fair hands encircling his waist .
Her right wrist had mostly healed , but a scar remained , marring its beauty .
She was a dancer who cherished her appearance above all else .
He held her right wrist gently and said , Ive already contacted the best doctors abroad .
Theyll help you remove this scar .
She curved her lips and replied , No , I want to keep it .
He turned to face her , asking , Why ? Because its a mark of my love for you.
I want this scar to remind you remind you , always , that you must love me .
She was clever .
She wanted this scar to weigh on his conscience forever , a reminder of the night he spent with Celine when it was inflicted .
Adam looked at her for a moment , then pulled her into his arms , his hand resting lightly on her shoulder .

In a low voice , he said , It wont happen again .
She nodded happily .
Adam , when will we get married ? She was eager to become his wife .
He held her close and explained , Grandma doesnt know about my divorce with Celine yet .
Her health is fragile , and I cant risk upsetting her .
So , we cant get married for now .
Carly cursed Mary .
If it werent for the old lady , she wouldve become Adams wife long ago .
On the surface , Carly didnt act willfully .
Instead , she leaned on Adam like a delicate bird and softly said , I cant just do nothing and wait .
I want to work hard for us .
How about you introduce me to the Lamberts ? I want to earn their recognition and support .
Adams mother was a daughter of the Lambert family , a prestigious lineage with a century old heritage and deep roots in Capitol .
Carly had long been eager to connect with them .
As long as she secured the Lamberts recognition and backing , even Mary would have no choice but to agree to their marriage .

Allie is the youngest in the Lambert family , isnt she ? I heard shes the familys favorite .
Adam , introduce her to me first .
Ill definitely become best friends with her , Carly said coyly .
Becoming best friends with Allie ? Adam looked at Carly , knowing it wouldnt be that easy .
Nevertheless , he didnt refuse .
Alright .
Ill try .
Adam , thank you ! She happily nestled into his arms , a smug smile tugging at her lips ..
Celine , what else do you have to compete with me now ? she thought .
At that moment , a melodious ringtone broke the quiet .
It was a phone call from Samuel from Hallard University .
Adam answered it immediately .
Mr.
Alvarez , the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium will be held at Mercitys Centennial Stadium in a few days .
Tops minds from around the world will be attending Wed like you and Miss Genius C to represent Haffard University and deliver the keynote speech together .
Holding his phone , Adam thought , Am I about to collaborate with Miss Genius Cagain ?
