Chapter 219

Celine withdrew her gaze, shaking her head lightly. “Hailey, I’m fine.”

Without another word, she pulled out her phone and dialed Alvarez Residence.

Mary’s cheerful voice answered almost immediately. “Celine, you finally decided to call me! I’ve missed you so much!”

Celine’s eyes lingered on the faint outline of the luxury car disappearing into the distance. “Grandma, I don’t have any classes tonight. I can come to Alvarez Residence and have dinner with you”

“That’s wonderful! And it’s perfect timing. Adam will be back tonight too. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“Okay.”

After ending the call, Celine turned to Hailey. “Hailey, I need to go to Alvarez Residence.”

Hailey nodded. “Alright, go keep Mrs. Alvarez Senior company for dinner.”

But Celine’s expression remained calm as she added, “No, I’m going to find out who Nikki’s sugar daddy really is.”

Adam dressed impeccably in a black, custom–tailored suit. A neatly folded pocket square peeked from his jacket, and the residual authority of a high–stakes meeting seemed to cling to him.

for someone “clean“, she saw her chance.

But when she arrived at Lux Garden, Celine had beaten her to it, claiming that night with Adam as her own.

It should have been her. It should have been Nikki who shared that night with Adam.

She envied Celine.

And she hated her even more.

And Adam’s cold, dismissive tone only deepened the hatred. But Nikki dared not let it show. Swallowing her pride, she forced herself to nod. “I understand, Mr. Alvarez.”

At that moment, a cheerful ringtone broke the silence. A call was coming in from Alvarez Residence.

Adam answered, and Mary’s joyful voice rang out from the other end. “Adam, hurry up and come home for dinner. Celine’s here.”

His sharp features shifted almost imperceptibly. “I’m heading back now.”

Ending the call, Adam glanced toward Leo and said, “Pull over.”
