Chapter 1 8
Lucy’s face turned pale. “Hone!”
She quickly grabbed Samson’s arm in desperation. “Mr. Stone, what’s going on? Didn’t we agree that if I delivered Celine to your bed, you’d help me arrange a meeting with Dr.
This ”
Her voice abruptly stopped as her eyes caught sight of a slender, elegant figure standing near the doorway. Celine had arrived.
No one new when she had come, but now she stood there silently as her clear, luminous eyes calmly watched Lacy’s penic and disarray.
Lucy froze, her body stiffening. Meanwhile, Samson quickly scurried to Celine’s side, bowing and scraping with a fawning smile. “Ms. Tate!”
Celine pulled out a pen from her pocket, then casually tossed it into the nearby pool. “Mr. Stone, I’ve dropped my pen.
“Ms. Tate, I’ll get it for you right away”
Samson dashed outside without hesitation and dove into the pool, unfazed by the icy autumn water. Lucy walked over, her expression incredulous as she watched the scene unfold Samson surfaced from the pool, soaking wet but triumphantly holding up the pen like a prized treasure. He grinned at Celine. “Ms. Tate, I found your pen!”
Lucy stared at Celine as though she were some kind of monster. Celine smirked, “What’s wrong? Don’t recognize me?
Lucy struggled to comprehend what she was seeing. She couldn’t figure out what Celine had done to Samson to make him obey her like a dog.
Celine’s voice tumed sharp, I’ve never understood why you treated me this way. What more do you want? You took over my father’s house, stole his company, and abandoned the daughter he loved most. Not to mention, you ruined the Château Lafite wine he left for me.
As she spoke, she stepped closer to Lucy. Today is just a small warning. Let me reintroduce myself–I’m not the same Celine you knew back then. Next time, you’d better think twice before crossing me.”
