"Adam, the Apex Gala is filled with elites. Celine must be trying to sneak in. I was just about to kick her out," Carly said.
Adam responded, "Celine, I'll take you inside."
Celine smiled. "Mr. Alvarez, thank you, but I can enter the Apex Gala on my own."
"You can enter on your own? Celine, stop bragging. This place is full of financial moguls. What qualifications do you have to get in?"
Carly and Melody didn't believe that Celine could enter the Apex Gala. Even Adam was skeptical, though he was willing to bring her in himself.
At that moment, Celine pulled an invitation from her bag. "Apologies, everyone, but here's my invitation."
She had an invitation?
Carly and Melody were stunned. "Celine, how did you get an invitation? Don't tell me you made it onto the Billionaires List?"
Melody immediately dismissed the idea. "Impossible. I've never seen Celine's name on the Billionaires List, and there are barely any female billionaires on it.
"The biggest highlight of this Apex Gala is that the top female billionaire, Linny, will be attending. I've never heard anything about Celine."
Melody's suspicion was well-founded. After all, Celine's name wasn't on the Billionaires List.
Celine showed no emotion, only smiling faintly. "Oh? So you've heard that Linny will be attending the Apex Gala, too?"
"Of course we have. Linny is the biggest female mogul in the pharmaceutical industry. You're the nation-renowned genius Dr. C, so you must know her. But honestly, Celine, I bet you just work for her, don't you?" Celine mocked.
Kaiya, who had been standing beside Celine, could barely contain herself as she rolled her eyes at Carly and Melody several times. "You…"
She was about to say something, but Celine stopped her.
Celine didn't think it was necessary to say anything now. Slapping their faces with the truth later would be much more satisfying.
Melody tried to comfort her, "Carly, let's just focus on the Apex Gala. You're the daughter of the richest family now. You completely overshadow Celine.
"Since she insists on attending the Gala, this is the perfect chance for you to humiliate her!"
Carly's eyes lit up. That was right. She was now the heiress of the Hampton family. Since Celine insisted on coming to the Apex Gala, she was basically handing Carly the perfect opportunity to put her in her place.
If Celine wanted to be humiliated, Carly wouldn't hold back.
"Mel, let's go in."
"Alright."
The Apex Gala was indeed filled with the highest echelons of power. The attendees were all figures seen on financial television programs and business newspapers.
Under the dazzling lights, Adam, in a tailored black suit, engaged in a quiet conversation with a few CEOs beside him.
