Chapter 546

"Really? But it seems like Adam doesn't want to marry me right now," Carly said hesitantly. Nigel reassured her, saying, "The marriage alliance between our families isn't something Adam can decide on his own. The Alvarez family would never allow him to marry someone else. The position of Mrs. Alvarez is yours, Carly." Carly's eyes lit up with hope. "That's wonderful! Thank you, Dad." Lucy seized the opportunity to chime in, "Mr. Hampton, I've noticed that Mr. Alvarez seems quite taken with Celine. To be safe, I think we should take some precautions." Nigel pondered for a moment. "I'll give Adam's mother a call. If she finds out about Celine's existence..." He left the rest unsaid, but Carly and Lucy understood perfectly. If Adam's mother learned about Celine and that she was standing in the way of the Hampton-Alvarez alliance, she would ensure Celine disappeared from this world. Carly and Lucy exchanged a knowing glance, then smiled. Carly urged, "Dad, call Mrs. Alvarez now."
