Chapter 123

123 123 Celine stared at Bailey, disbelief etched on her face.
I believe youve reached the wrong number… Her voice gradually faded as her line of sight became obscured.
The tall, dignified figure had stepped into view, casting a powerful shadow before her.
Adam fixed a piercing glare on Hailey before shifting his attention to Celine.
Who started the fight? Hailey was so frightened by Adams anger that she instinctively stepped back in silence.
In her distress, she even pushed Celine forward.
Celine collided with Adams strong chest, which felt like a solid wall.
Fresh from a management meeting, he exuded an air of authority that intimidated those around him.
Her face instantly flushed red.
At the moment, she wished she could glare back at Hailey, whom she saw as a traitor.
Her height was perfectly aligned with Adams chest.
As he lowered his gaze to meet hers, he commanded, Stand still! She swiftly stepped back.
He ordered, Keep your head up.
Celine looked up obediently.
Adam frowned as he noticed Celines dirty face.
Despite suppressing Elijah with Hailey, he was still very strong as a man.
Celines hair was disheveled, and her face was covered in dust.
Her clothes were also tom, making her appear pitiful.
Yet, she looked up at him with bright, clear eyes, resembling a kittens gaze at night.
Witnessing this, Adam found himself at a loss for words, unable to voice his reproach.
Just then, Bailey approached and said, Mr.
Alvarez, I apologize for interrupting you, but the fight between Celine and Hailey was serious.
The Zander family was pretty frustrated about it.
Theyre demanding that Celine be expelled from the university.
What do you think about this? Adam contemplated momentarily before replying, Ill take them back to freshen up first.
Bailey nodded.
Adam followed Celine and Hailey to the womens dormitory.
Hailey grabbed her towel and ran away.
Celine, Im going to wash up next door.
Celine was at a loss for words.
Adam chose to remain outside the dormitory, like a true gentleman.
Celine had no choice but to go in and take a hot shower.
After finishing her shower, she stepped out of the dormitory and spotted Adam waiting just outside the door.
Adam stood outside with his tall, striking figure, capturing the attention of everyone nearby.
His sudden arrival at the womens dormitory created a buzz of excitement throughout the building.
Women flocked to the door, peering out with starry eyes, exclaiming, Wow, hes so handsome! I think Im going to faint.
Adam wore a blank expression, completely ignoring the women around him.
Leo approached and whispered, Mr.
Alvarez, should we keep this private? The Alvarez and Zander families are connected.
If you talk to them directly, they might retract their decision to remove Mrs.
Alvarez from Yorhine University.
Adam was visibly upset.
Celine had only been at Yorhine University for two days, yet she was causing a lot of trouble.
Just then, Adam noticed her looking at him and turned to meet her gaze.
Celine flinched at the intensity of his gaze.
Taking a step back, she quickly moved to the side to make way for him.
Alvarez, you may come in now.
Adam stepped into the womens dormitory for the first time, where he was instantly enveloped in a vibrant, feminine atmosphere.
The space, shared by Hailey, was adorned in shades of pink, complete with peachcolored heartpatterned bedsheets.
The decor was a stark contrast to Adams reserved, mature masculine presence.
Celine had lived there since leaving Alvarez Residence.
