Celine hadnât hung up the phone yet Hailey already heard Adamâs voice.
âCeline where are you and Mr. Alvarez right now?â
âCeline, I can already see his car!â
The next second, a series of hurried knocks echoed. Hailey had arrived and was tapping on the car window.
Celine hadnât expected Hailey to be nearby. Even though the expensive blackâtinted windows concealed the interior, Haileyâs sudden appearance startled her. After all, she was still sitting on Adamâs lap, and they were entangled in an intimate embrace.

Adamâs handsome face remained calm, showing no emotion, though inside, he was indeed surprised.
Nikki had actually flipped her statement.
Hailey smirked proudly. âItâs all thanks to Celine. Before she went to Alvarez Group to see you, she sent a text message to Nikki. That message scared her so much that she immediately flipped her story.â
A text message?
Adamâs sharp eyes flicked toward Celine through the rearview mirror. âWhat kind of message?â
Celine looked at him calmly. The message , âMr. Alvarez told me to beg him.ââ
