Chapter 525
Why was Adam calling?
Celine thought for a moment, then answered the call. “Hello, Mr. Alvarez.”
Adam’s deep, magnetic voice came through immediately. “Celine, why won’t you see me? I just want to see you in person.”
Her long lashes trembled slightly. “Mr. Alvarez, we had our discussion at the hospital. The misunderstandings between us have been cleared up. There’s nothing left for us to discuss.”
Adam fell silent for a few seconds, then asked, “Celine, can we at least meet? I just-”
“No!” Celine cut him off immediately, not giving him a chance to say more.
Adam froze.
She continued, “Mr. Alvarez, it’s late. I’m going to rest now.”
She hung up without hesitation.
Hailey sighed. “Celine, if you don’t want to see him, that’s fine. Right now, Carly is still in his hands, and he has already given the Tate family a three-day deadline. Once the deadline is up, the truth will surface. We won’t let the people who killed your father go unpunished.”
Robin nodded. “That’s right. The Tate family is disgusting. They must be punished. Whatever you suffered in the past, they should suffer twice as much!”
Perry stood up. “Celine, have you decided? Once this is over, will you leave with me?”
Celine looked at him and nodded. “Yes. Once things are settled with the Tates, I’ll go with you.”
Perry smiled. “Good. Grandpa, Cyrus, and Jason will be overjoyed if they know you’re returning with me.”
Robin said, “Celine, get some rest. We’ll head back now.”
“Alright.”
Hailey and Robin left the apartment. As soon as they stepped outside, they immediately saw Adam. He looked at them. “She’s still unwilling to see me, isn’t she?”
Hailey replied, “Mr. Alvarez, Celine won’t meet you. And she just told us that once the Tate family matter is settled, she’s leaving town with Perry.”
Adam’s eyes turned red.
Venet
A few days ago, in the hospital, he had overheard Celine and Perry talking. She had said she was. leaying Mercity with him. Even now, she was still determined to go.
Back then, she already knew that he had mistaken Carly for her.
She wasn’t going to give him a chance to make things right.
…
Celine returned to her room and drank a warm glass of milk before bed. She stood by the window, looking outside. Suddenly, she saw a familiar handsome figure standing downstairs-Adam.
He was just standing there.
She had no idea how long he had been there or how long he planned to stay.
Just as she looked down, Adam

seemed to sense it. He lifted his gaze, and their eyes met. Celine turned away and closed the curtains. She didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Just then, a notification sound came from her phone. It was a message from Adam.
“Celine, I just saw you. You saw me too, didn’t you?”
She didn’t reply.
