Adam had agreed to marry Carly.
Nigel and Fiona came forward. "Nigel!"
Hailey's expression shifted in an instant. "Adam!"
Carly smiled, exchanging a brief glance with Anne as they silently celebrated their success.
Carly's wish had been fulfilled. Despite the fallout with the Hampton family, she had secured her place as Adam's wife. To her, a woman's success wasn't measured by her work but by her marriage. With the Heartstring Venom controlling Adam, she knew she would be his wife for the rest of her life.
Carly reached out and linked her arm through Adam's, flashing him a sweet smile. "Adam, you've finally come around. Let's get married as soon as possible. Becoming your wife has always been my dream."
Adam glanced at her but said nothing in response.
Anne felt a surge of satisfaction as she observed the defeated expressions on Nigel, Fiona, and Celine's faces. She was determined to make them suffer and ensure they could never find peace.
"Mr. Alvarez, Carly, congratulations," Anne said with a smile.
At that moment, Grace and Bella walked over. "Adam, are you really going to marry Carly?" Grace asked.
Bella ran to Celine's side. "Mommy!"
Celine picked Bella up and kissed her on the cheek. "Sweetie."
Carly turned to Grace with a sly smile. "Mrs. Alvarez, soon we'll be in-laws, and I can call you 'Grace.'"
Grace frowned and looked at Adam. "Adam, this is a big decision. You need to think carefully."
Adam pursed his lips.
"My marriage to Carly is final," he said firmly, making it clear he wasn't open to discussion.
Anne smiled. "Mrs. Alvarez, let's pick a date. I think the 15th of this month would be perfect. We could host a grand wedding for Mr. Alvarez and Carly."
She then turned to Nigel. "Nigel, Celine, you both have to come to the wedding and bless the happy couple."
Carly joined in with a smile. "Celine, I really hope to receive your blessing."
