Chapter 223
223 Just as Celine was about to step forward , the sweet sound of a phone ringing echoed .
It was Joshua calling .
Hello , Ms.
Tate , theres been an issue at the police station .
You need to come quickly ! Celines heart missed a beat .
What could have happened to Robin ? Without a second thought , she turned and ran .
When Celine arrived at the police station , Joshua quickly approached her .
Whats happened to Robin ? Celine asked .
Her words faltered when she saw a familiar figure Nikki had arrived .
Nikki , dressed in high end designer brands , was surrounded by a small entourage and two lawyers .
She smiled as she approached Celine .
Celine , I heard youre here to bail Robin out .
Dont bother .
Your friend is staying here for life .
Shell never get out .
Joshua leaned in and whispered , Ms.
Tate , Nikki brought two lawyers with her .
Theyre top tier lawyers from the Alvarez Group .
The Alvarez Groups legal team is one of the best in the country , undefeated in every case .
Theyve already rejected our bail request .
With their influence , the situation for Ms.
Smith is looking very grim .
Celines expression hardened .
She hadnt expected Adam to back Nikki to this extent .
Nikki grinned at her .
Celine , you know about me and Mr.
Alvarez , dont you ? Im sorry , I know hes your husband , but he doesnt like you .
Alvarez and I couldnt resist each other that night .
Celine stayed silent .
Nikki chuckled .
I also heard you and Mr.
Alvarez recently consummated your marriage .
Celines heart skipped a beat .
How do you know that ? she asked .
Nikki raised an eyebrow Mr.
Alvarez told me .
Celine was taken aback to know that Adam had shared all of this with Nikki .
Nikki continued , smiling , Mr.
Alvarez also mentioned that youre dull and uninteresting in bed .
After being with you once , he didnt want to again .
However , Im different .
I make him happy .
He calls me his little sweetheart and even said he likes me .
Celines body stiffened as she wondered if Adam had truly said that .
Nikki chuckled .
Celine , Mr.
Alvarez is so incredible .
I want to be with him .
Youre one of my good friends , and I know youll support me and bless me .
With that , Nikki and her entourage stormed off .
Celine stood there , frozen in place .
Joshua broke the silence , saying , Ms.
Tate , if we go head to head with the Alvarez Group , we wont win .
The only way to save Ms.
Smith is to approach Mr.
Alvarez Celine couldnt help but laugh at the thought of pleading with Adam .
Just then , her phone chimed softly , signaling an incoming call .
She glanced at the screen it was Adam calling As Celine tapped the screen to answer , Adams cold , displeased voice came through immediately .
Celine , Im at the city hall entrance .
Ive been waiting for you .
Are you coming ? She tightened her fingers around the phone .
She had almost forgotten about the divorce .
Adam , something came up , she said , wanting to explain .
I- Celine , what kind of game are you playing this the ? he cut her off .
Youre the one who wants the divorce , and youre the one not showing up .
I dont have time to waste on your games of push and pull ! Celines heart sank as she wondered if this was how he really saw her .
However , she couldnt afford to get on his bad side just yet .
She had to bring up Robin Theres something I need to talk to you about …
