Adam's answer stunned Larry. After a brief moment of thought, Larry hummed. "I'll let you decide, Mr. Alvarez."
Adam nodded. "How about a million?"
A million dollars? Larry's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Adam to offer such a large sum.
"That's more than enough," Larry quickly said.
Adam pulled out a checkbook, wrote the amount, and handed it to Larry.
Larry counted the zeros carefully. It really was a million dollars. He grinned. "Thank you, Mr. Alvarez. I'll be leaving now."
With the check in hand, Larry left the estate gleefully.
…
When Adam returned to the bedroom, Celine was there, waiting for him.
She stared at him. "What did Larry say to you?"
Adam unbuttoned the first button of his black shirt, revealing his collarbone. He chuckled. "What do you think he said?"
Celine frowned. "I'm serious. Don't joke with me."
Adam took off his expensive watch and placed it on the nightstand. He cocked an eyebrow at her tense expression. "Nothing much. He just asked for money.”
Celine’s face fell “And did you give it to him?”
“I did” Adam nodded.
“How much?” Celine sucked in a breath.
“One million dollars.” Adam shrugged
Celine stared at Adam. “This is a personal matter. It has nothing to do with you”
Adam smiled faintly. He tugged her closer and muttered with a mix of amusement and annoyance, “Celine, don’t push your luck.”
She sighed. “Adam, don’t get involved in things you can’t take responsibility for. Don’t give people hope and end up disappointing them in the end.”
She pulled her arm free from his grip and turned to leave.
Adam was a good man, but he didn’t belong to her. They would divorce soon. He was meant for Carly. No matter how much she yearned for his support, she couldn’t bring herselt to rely on him
He had promised to take her away years ago. He would never know how long she waited for him there. She waited day after day, but he never came
Instead, she only faced the arrival of that monster Larry
Adam had never come to take her away.

So it's Fiona and Nigel story now? Not Celine and Adam? What happened to this story? What I want I want is for them to find the truth about their real daughter.. you're just making the story long when will Carly punished with all her wrong doings.....
Now for next I want the two of them to know their daughter is always with them this whole time. Don't go another path now dear Author coz I'm getting tired of seeing Carly's name ruining Celine's life....
All I want is Nigel and Fiona to discover Celine as their daughter and kill that Carly b*tch 😌😌😌...
