Chapter 58

As she made her way toward the kitchen, murmurs suddenly rippled across the room.

Look, its Mr. Alvarez! Adam had arrived. He was dressed in a tailormade suit with a shiny tassel brooch pinned to his pocket. He looked sharp and sophisticated. He walked in with an effortless confidence. The warm glow of the chandelier highlighted his striking features. His icy gaze swept across the room, sending a chill down the spines. His entrance caused quite a stir in the banquet.

Carly happily rushed over to him and linked her arm with his Adam, you're here! This time, he didn't push her away.

Sonia smiled broadly.

Mr. Alvarez, welcome! she greeted him warmly.

Adam nodded politely. Happy birthday, Mrs. Tate Senior. I've brought you a gift.

Adam asked Leo to present the gift.

Leo nodded. Leo stepped forward to present the gift. He carefully opened the box to reveal an exquisite painting.

Sonia's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. Mr. Alvarez, is this Elegance in Bloom by Zachary Foster from the Earan Age?

Over the past few years, the Tate family had risen to prominence with Adam's support. Over time, Sonia had also developed a fondness for antiques and she had been searching for this particular painting for quite some time Now, Adam had gifted it to her The crowd quickly gathered around, and murmurs erupted across the room.

Mr. Alvarez really knows how to make a statement.

This painting is a rare find.

Carly couldn't take her eyes off Adam. Admiration gleamed in her eyes - he was not only wealthy but also incredibly thoughtful. The thought of him made her heart flutter.

Carly smiled shyly. Thank you, Adam.

Meanwhile, several prominent businessmen approached them.

"Mr. Alvarez and Ms. Tate are truly a match made in heaven. Should we take your presence here tonight as a hint that we can expect a wedding announcement soon" one businessmen, David Weston, teased. I'm sure it won't be long before we'll have to start calling Ms. Tate as Mrs. Alvarez another businessman, Robert Lanning, added with a grin.

As the conversation unfolded, Hayden and Lucy made their way towards them Hayden's current status wasn't quite on par with the businessmen present, in fact, they had just rejected a proposal he had made a few days ago. He chuckled awkwardly and said, Mr. Weston, Mr. Lanning please enjoy the evening! David smiled.

Mr. Tate, send over your updated proposal tomorrow. We can discuss our collaboration father. Hayden's eyes instantly lit up.

Really? Thank you so much Mr. Robert, he smiled warmly. No need to thank us, Mr. Tate. You're fortunate to have a daughter like Ms. Tate.

Sonia squeezed Carly's hand. Of course, Carly is truly a blessing to our family Hayden and Lucy couldn't have been prouder, with Adam's presence, the banquet had been elevated to another level. They could hardly imagine the glory that awaited them once Adam became their son-in-law. Adam was one and of many who could satisfy every woman's dreams. Surrounded by compliments, Carly felt like she was on top of the world. She gazed at Adam, admiration shining in her eyes. Adam lowered his gaze and glanced at Carly. His usual tough gaze instantly softened.

Celine, who was holding a tray of wine glasses, watched them from afar.

Adam and Carly stood in the center of the spotlight, being adored by everyone. This was the special honor that Adam had given to Carly. It was clear that when Adam loved a woman, he spoiled her to the core.

Celine's mind drifted back to a few years ago in the cave, when he had held her tightly and whispered, I'll take you away with me. "I want you." To this day, she never understood why the man who once claimed to want her no longer did. Celine lowered her gaze and turned away.

Just then, Adam lifted his gaze and spotted her retreating figure.

A businessman standing beside him followed his line of sight and noticed Celine as well. Mr. Alvarez, do you know that woman? he asked.

No, I don't, Adam replied coldly.

Carly silently let out a sigh of relief. She couldn't explain why shed been so nervous in the first place. There was no way that Adam would take an interest in country bumpkin like Celine! She then turned to Lucy, who gave her a knowing nod.

The show she had planned for tonight was about to begin.

When Celine made her way to the kitchen, a maid suddenly spoke up.

Hurry up and take this bowl of soup to the room. Mrs. Tate has requested for it. The maid was referring to Lucy, who had ordered the soup to be delivered to her room.
