"Adam, please, just hear me out," Carly pleaded, trying to defend herself.
Adam stood motionless, his gaze unwavering. "Carly, I don't want excuses. I just need to know—where is the emerald necklace?"
A cold, unsettling smirk curled at the corner of his lips. "You wouldn't be lying to me, would you?"
Carly's breath hitched. "Lie to you? About what?"
"That the woman who saved me in the cave wasn't you. That all this time, you've been deceiving me, pretending to be someone else."
His eyes bored into hers, like a predator sizing up its prey. Carly's spine tingled with a sense of dread. Adam had never looked at her like this before.
Had he figured it out? Did he know she was an imposter?
His stoic expression unsettled her more than anything. She couldn't tell how much he knew.
Despite this, she couldn't afford to confess—not when everything she had was on the line. "Adam, I don't understand. Why would you even think that?"
Her voice faltered, a trace of hurt in it. "I'm the one who saved you in that cave. You promised me you'd take me with you, that you'd be responsible for me. Have you really forgotten all of that?"
"If it really was you, that would be perfect. I've invested over a decade in you, Carly. But if you've been lying to me, you know what the consequences will be."
Leo had asked him who he wanted the woman from the cave to be.
The truth was, Adam didn't know.
All he felt was a rising panic.
He had given over ten years of his life to Carly and poured so much of himself into her.
If it wasn't her who saved him… how naive would he have been?
And even worse... What if the woman in the cave had really been Celine?
"Fine. Come to my place tonight," he agreed.
"Perfect."
After dinner, Adam and Carly exited the restaurant together. As they stepped outside, they spotted Celine.
She was standing by, chatting with Owen from Alpite Pharma.
Adam's steps faltered, surprised by the sight of Celine. He hadn't expected to see her here, especially not with Owen.
What was going on between them?
Equally stunned, Carly couldn't help but comment, "Adam, why is Celine with Mr. McCormick from Alpite Pharma? Could it be... she's trying to seduce him now?"
Her pointed remark made Adam frown, his expression darkening in response.
