The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309

The long–anticipated Pinnacle of Academic Symposium finally arrived. Everyone’s attention was on it.

Celine woke up early that day and dragged Hailey along with her. “Hailey, let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere fun.

“Celine, where are we going? Everyone’s heading to the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium today. I heard that Mr. Alvarez and the genius girl are making a joint appearance.” Hailey’s eyes sparkled, ready to gossip.

Celine curved her lips into a sly smile. “That’s exactly where we’re going.”

Hailey was stunned. What?

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the venue. The event was bustling with renowned academic elites from all walks of life. The lively atmosphere was almost electrifying

From a distance, Celine spotted a few familiar faces. Melody was among them, surrounded by classmates from Yorhine University.

The public confession from Ewan a few days ago had turned her into a laughingstock, but she had quickly leveraged her father’s connections to secure an invitation to this event

With her classmates tawning over her, Melody had regained her pride. Today, she carried herself with confidence, a smug smile never leaving her face. Celine also noticed other members of the Tate family like Sonia, Carly, Lucy, Tracy, Hazel, and the extended family members. It seemed like the whole family had come. Just as they had said, they were here to witness the genius girl’s glory.

Carly was the first to spot Celine. “Celine, what are you doing here?”

Tracy’s haughty gaze fell on Celine, brinuming with disdain. “This is the Pinnacle of Academic Symposium, Celine. You dropped out of school at 16. Are you here to embarrass the Tate family?”

Sonia’s tone was cold and stem. “Celine, leave now. This event is by invitation only. Do you even have one?”

Celine’s clear eyes calmly met their judgmental pazes. She shook her head. “No. I don’t have an invitation.”

Of course, she didn’t. The Tate family wasn’t surprised in the slightest, To them, it would’ve been strange if Celine did have an invitation.

Halley, however, was livid. These people were going too far!

Pointing at Sonia and Lucy, she shouted, “What kind of family are you? You’re supposed to be Celine’s mother and grandmother, but you’re the one leading the charge to humiliate her! Are you even sure Celine is your real family?”

Celine was used to this treatment. She had long accepted that having a family like hers was no different from being an orphan

That sentence hit Sonia hard. Her expression flickered for a split second. Though Celine was indeed Aaron’s biological daughter, she had always favored Carly.

After all, Hayden had brought Carly back from the capital. Carly wasn’t even Hayden’s biological daughter. Her real dad held a status so lofty it couldn’t be put into words, Carly’s background was truly extraordinary.

Of course, this secret was buried deep within Sonia and Hayden’s hearts. It wasn’t something they would ever reveal.

Sonia looked at Celine coldly and said, “Celine, don’t ever tell people I’m your grandmother, I don’t have a granddaughter like you!” Halley was stunned. She hadn’t expected Sonla to be so heartless, even saying something like that in public. Her fury boiled over. “What?”
