Larry froze and numed to Celine celine returned his gaze.
Youve just been released from prison.
Dont ever Her words immediately cast a tense atmosphere over the room.
Mary looked at Larry in surprise.
Youve been in prison? ines expression hardened.
Yes, for ten years.
Mary gasped.
What did you go to prison for? ccomeback.
Larry shifted his gaze to celine.
You can ask Celine if youre curious.
She knows better than anyone.
He threw the question back to Celine, wanting to see if she would reveal the truth about his imprisonment Celine saw through his intentions but said nothing.
Mary quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
To be able to raise such a wonderful daughter like Celine shows you cant be that bad of a person.
Everyone makes mistakes.
As long as youve learned from them.
Seeing that Celine remained silent, Larrys smile grew smug.
In that case, I wont stay for dinner.
But Id like to have a private word with you, Mr.
Shall we? Celine wanted to protest, but Adam squeezed her shoulder lightly and replied, Sure, lets go to the study.
Larry followed Adam into the study.
The sleek monochromatic decor exuded elegance.
Every corner of the study reflected the Alvarez familys wealth, leaving Larry in awe again Despite his resentment toward Celine, Larry i y wasnt entirely lying earlier.
He had spent the past ten years in prison thinking about her every single day.
Celine had banded him in one eye and sent him to jail.
He could never forget that And now, she had married into such a wealthy family and was living a good life.
But she would never escape him no matter what Larry turned to Adam with a sly smile.
Alvarez, Celine grew up in the countryside and didnt even receive a proper education.
I know marrying into your family is beyond her… -Adams dark gaze settled on Larry.
No, shes perfect.
Larry was caught off guard.
Adam continued, Is that all you wanted to say? Larry met his gaze and felt a chill run down his spine.
Adams eyes were sharp and unreadable, carrying an air of danger that made him feel as though he were being dissected.
He forced a laugh Mr.
Alvarez, I just got out of prison, and Im a little short on money, I was wondering if you could… Adam cocked an eyebrow.
You want money? Larry shifted uncomfortably under Adams piercing gaze but shamelessly replied, Yes, Mr.
After all, Im Celines adoptive father.
Its only right for you to give me some money as a show of respect, right? Adar leaned back in the chair, Sure.
How much do you want?
