Chapter 528 Adam revealed to Carly that she was merely a replacement for Celine. Though Carly had always suspected this, she refused to acknowledge it. "I am the true chosen one! Celine is just a country bumpkin. What makes her think she can compete with me?" Adam's expression turned frigid. "Who gave you the right to belittle Celine?" A bodyguard stepped forward and delivered a harsh slap across Carly's face. The force of the blow caused her head to snap to the side.

The assault continued, with a barrage of slaps raining down on her, leaving her face red and swollen. Blood trickled from the corner of her lips. "Stop! It hurts!" Carly finally cried out, pleading for mercy. Adam gestured for the bodyguard to cease, and the room fell silent. Carly's legs gave way, and she crumpled to the ground. Accustomed to a life of indulgence, she had never endured such brutality before. Her ears rang, and even her teeth felt loose. Adam regarded her coldly.

"Never insult Celine again. This is your warning." Carly gazed up at him as he sat in his chair, exuding an aura of unapproachable authority in his sleek black suit. His icy glare sent a chill down her spine. Crawling forward, she clutched at his trousers. "Adam, please don't do this. I can't bear to lose you. I'm terrified of losing you." Adam sneered. "Congratulations, then. You've already lost me." Carly shook her head.

"No!" A sudden sharp pain gripped her heart, and she clutched her chest, her face draining of color. "Adam, my heart... It hurts so much. Please, take me to the hospital! I don't want to die. I'm still young... I can't die now!" Adam observed her dispassionately. "Oh, your heart hurts? Is this what you seek?" He dangled a bottle of medicine before her. Carly's eyes lit up, reaching out for it. "Adam, please, give it to me!

The pain is unbearable!" With a flick of his hand, Adam tossed the bottle to Leo. "Forget about the medicine, Carly. If your heart truly aches, then let it be the end of you." With that, he rose and made to leave. Carly clutched at his pant leg. "Adam, please don't go! Give me the medicine, please!" Without a backward glance, Adam's voice cut through the air coldly. "The moment you chose to impersonate Celine and enter my life, you should have considered the consequences.

Allowing you to suffer is the greatest mercy I can offer. Do you understand the extent of the damage you've caused Celine and me?" Tears streamed down Carly's face. She felt as though she were in the depths of hell, with Adam holding the keys to her fate. "Adam, please forgive me! I was wrong! I won't repeat my mistakes! I beg for your forgiveness!" Adam scoffed. "Apologies hold no weight in the face of your actions, Carly. You are now reaping what you have sown." "No!

My parents will come to my rescue. They won't let me perish!" Adam's laughter sent shivers down her spine. "Rest assured, I will ensure the entire Tate family joins you in your descent to hell. None of you will escape your fate."
