Chapter 239
239 It must have been something she did , a last ditch effort that successfully saved Robin .
Celine hadnt hung up the phone yet when Hailey already heard Adams voice .
Celine , where are you and Mr.
Alvarez right now ? Celine , I can already see his car ! The next second , a series of hurried knocks echoed .
Hailey had arrived and was tapping on the car window .
Celine hadnt expected Hailey to be nearby .
Even though the expensive black tinted windows concealed the interior , Haileys sudden appearance startled her .
After all , she was still sitting on Adams lap , and they were entangled in an intimate embrace .
At that moment , Adams low , magnetic voice broke the silence .
Celine , He was calling her name .
She turned to look at him .
What is it ? What ? Adams gaze dropped .
His lean , muscled waist was tightly wrapped by her fair , slender legs .
In her earlier fright , she had instinctively clung to him .
His Adams apple bobbed slightly .
Your legs .
Its too tight .
Celines face turned bright red in an instant .
She quickly loosened her grip , awkwardly climbing back to the passenger seat .
Then , she opened the car doar Hey , Halley , Celine , Hailey excitedly grabbed Celines hand .
Robin is safe now .
Lets head to the police station and bring her horne .
Alright , lets get a cab .
A cab ? Why ? Well take Mr.
Alvarezs car .
Celine wanted to decline , but Hailey opened the back door and shoved her inside without giving her a chance to refuse Turning to the man in the drivers seat , Hailey said , Mr.
Alvarez , could you please take us to the police station ? Adams earlier smoldering intensity had mostly dissipated , replaced by his usual cold and composed demeanor .
Rolling down the window slightly , he let the cool evening breeze drift in before starting the luurious car and driving toward the police station .
Alvarez , were you surprised when Ms.
Barnett suddenly changed her statement and released Robin ? Halleys tone was sharp , carrying a pointed dissatisfaction with him .
Adams handsome face remained calm , showing no emotion , though inside , he was indeed surprised .
Nikki had actually flipped her statement .
Hailey smirked proudly .
Its 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 .
A text message ? Adams sharp eyes flicked toward Celine through the rearview mirror .
What kind of message ? Celine looked at him calmly .
The message said , Mr.
Alvarez told me to beg him .
Those simple words conveyed everything , and Nikki would immediately understand .
Adams thin lips curved faintly Into a smile .
So , her visit to Alvarez Group had been intended for Nikld to see .
No wonder she had been stalling for time on the way .
She had been waiting for Nikkis response This sly woman ! Mr.
Alvarez , isnt Celine clever ? Adam let out a low , husky chuckle .
This time , he had become her p counterattack .
He had used him to turn the tables and regain control with a brilliant Adain sharply gazed at the rearview mirror , casually casting a glance at Celine .
She is clever .
The way he said clever sounded less like a compliment and more like mockery .
