Chapter 486

Carly immediately put on a smile. “Nothing, Adam. Go ahead and get back to work.”
Adam shot her a suspicious look.
Her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid he might notice something. With how sharp Adam was, it wouldn’t take much for him to pick up on the slightest clue.
Just then, Leo walked over, holding a document. “Mr. Alvarez, there’s an issue with this contract.”
Adam finally looked away. “We’ll discuss it in the study.”
With that, he led Leo back into the study to deal with the urgent paperwork.
Carly let out a quiet breath of relief. Then, she curled her red lips into a satisfied smile.
There was nothing left for her to do now other than to wait for the good news.
By tonight, the baby in Celine’s stomach would be gone. No one could threaten her ever again!
Celine was speeding toward Robin’s apartment when her phone rang. It was Hailey.
“Celine, I just tried calling Robin, but I couldn’t get through. Do you know what’s going on?” Hailey didn’t know yet.
“Hailey, listen to me. Something’s happened. Robin’s been taken!”
“What?” Hailey gasped. “Celine, who took her?”
“It’s Adam!”
Hailey sucked in a sharp breath. “Mr. Alvarez? Why would Mr. Alvarez take Robin?”
“Adam wants to force me to treat Carly’s heart condition. He’s completely on her side now. He’ll do anything. There’s no line he won’t cross.”
Hailey was so stunned she couldn’t even respond.
“Hailey, I’m telling you this because I need you to be careful. I’m afraid Adam might come after you next.”
“Celine, actually, Mr. Alvarez and I-”
“Hailey, I can’t talk right now. I just got to Robin’s place.”
Celine hung up and flung open her car door. She ran straight into Robin’s apartment building.
She had lived with Robin for a while before, so she had a spare key. She pulled it out and unlocked the door.
The apartment was a mess. It
looked like there had been a fight et
where to be seenet
Everything was eerily silent.
Celine stepped inside. “Robin! Robin!”
There was no response.
She pushed open the bedroom door, and there was nothing as well.
Then, her ears caught something. It was a muffled sound.
Celine’s heart jumped. She rushed to the bathroom door and shoved it open. Robin was there.
A man in black was restraining her, pressing a firm hand over her mouth.
Celine’s breath hitched. She lunged forward. “Who are you? Let go of Robin!”
Robin immediately started shaking
her
bead, signaling for Celine to stay
there was no way Cefine
would leave her behind.
Suddenly, Robin opened her mouth and bit down hard on the man’s hand.
The man grunted in pain and loosened his grip.
Robin shouted, “Celine, run! You’re their real target! Behind you!”
Celine spun around just in time to see another man in black standing behind her.
He was holding a baton.
Celine’s eyes widened.
Then, the baton struck the back of her neck.
Pain exploded through her, and then her vision went dark.
As she collapsed, the last thing heard was Robin’s anguished scream. “Celine! Who are you people? Where are you taking her? Celine!”
