Chapter 231
231 Celine noticed the desire in Adams eyes .
Even the comers of his narrow eyes had turned red .
He froze and looked up at her .
Celine pointed toward the door .
Alvarez , now youll have to coax your Ms.
Barnett back .
The quick witted Adam immediately understood what she was implying Celine wasnt genuinely trying to seduce him .
She was merely putting on an act The lust in his eyes faded instantly , and his clarity returned .
He looked at Celine coldly .
Get off me now ! Celine didnt hesitate and got off him immediately .
Adam stood up and walked toward the floor to ceiling windows , cursing Celine inwardly .
Go ahead .
What do you want from me ? he said .
Alvarez , Robin didnt cut Ms.
Barnetts wire .
Shes being wrongfully accused .
I hope you can show mercy and release her , Celine explained her Adam hadnt paid attention to Nikkis fall , so he didnt know it had anything to do with Robin .
Leo had called to ask for his approval , and he had let Nikki handle it .
It seemed that Celine had come for her best friend , Robin .
Adam turned to her and smirked .
Celine , are you begging me ? Celines heart missed a beat .
For Robins sake , she had to humble herself , Yes , Mr.
Im begging you .
To beg you need to show sincerity .
Have you thought about what youll offer in return ? His blunt words made Celine stiffen .
Adams gaze moved over her slender figure , and he said teasingly , It looks like you havent figured it out .
Come back when you know what you can offer With that , he turned to leave .
Celine reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt .
Adem stopped .
Celine , Im not a philanthropist .
Why would I go easy on your friend ? Honestly , Id want nothing from you except your body .
When he went to the hospital to see her that night , she had refused him .
Now , he wanted to see if she would change her n her mind .
Celine clenched her fingers .
She didnt understand him .
She had already slept with him , but he had found her dull and uninteresting She couldnt understand why he was making this request now .
Did he long to touch her again ? Mr.
Alvarez , arent you afraid that Carly and Ms.
Barnett will find out ? Adam showed no emotion .
This is our secret .
Isnt that what you said before ? I help you , and you repay y me .
Thats Celine fell silent .
She slowly released his sleeve Think it over .
When youve figured it out , come find me , he said .
With that , Adam left .
s the game game you set up .
Since Adan refused to help her , Celine had no choice but to go to the police station to visit Robin .
Tate , we cant see Ms.
Smith anymore , Joshua informed her .
Celine was stunned .
Why ? Joshuas expression grew serious , Mr.
Alvarez just gave orders not to allow us to visit Ms.
Smith anymore .
Celine was taken aback by how rulless Adam could be , forcing her into such a difficult situation .
Robin was locked up alone , and she had no idea how she was doing Tears welled up in her eyes .
She didnt want to make the kind of deal with Adam , but with his overwhelming pressure , she was helpless .
Tate , what should we do now ?
