Out ! Clam Theme 210 Chapter 219 Celine withdrew her gaze , shaking her head lightly .
Hailey , Im fine .
Without another word , she pulled out her phone and dialed Alvarez Residence .
Marys cheerful voice answered almost immediately .
Celine , you finally decided to call me ! Ive missed you so much ! Celines eyes lingered on the faint outline of the luxury car disappearing into the distance .
Grandma , I dont have any classes tonight .
I can come to Alvarez Residence and have dinner with you Thats wonderful ! And its perfect timing .
Adam will be back tonight too .
Ill 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 Celines expression remained calm as she added , No , Im going to find out who Nikkis sugar daddy really is .
What ? Hailey froze .
The extended Rolls Royce glided smoothly down the road .
Leo sat in the drivers seat , while Nikki reclined in the back , her gaze fixed on the man seated beside her .
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 .
The mutual glow of neon lights filtered through the tinted windows , casting soft reflections on his sharp features , making him appear as distant and unattainable as he had the first time Nikki laid eyes on him .
Adam held the document in his hands , flipping through it with a focused intensity , paying her no attention at all .
Nikkis gaze softened , her eyes filled with a mix of admiration and longing .

Alvarez , I fell off the wire rig today , but I wasnt hurt .
You didnt have to He didnt bother to 1 / out of your way to come see me dismissive his handsome eyelids .
Did Celine go to the hospital to see you ? His tone was indifferent , almost Nikki froze , caught off guard .
Adam shut the file with precision .
His deep , cold eyes finally locked onto her face .
Dont say anything reckless in front of Celine , Do you understand me ? He looked down at her from his lofty position , his gaze a clear warning .
Nikki froze completely .
She had thought that after her fall from the wire rig earlier today , he had come to see her out of concern .
But in just two sentences , he had made it painfully clear that every word he spoke revolved around Celine .
And then , he had gone so far as to warn her , to ensure she didnt say anything inappropriate in front of his wife .
The meaning behind his words hit her like a slap .
He didnt want celine to find out that he had slept with her .
A wave of humiliation crashed over her , and her misplaced affection burned hot in her chest .
Nikki clenched her fists tightly .
How could she not resent Celine for this ? After all , Celine had come from nothing , just like she had .
Celine wasnt born into anything more noble .
But while Nikki had spent her life tiptoeing around others , reading their moods , and living cautiously , Celine had always been calm , confident , and sharp everything Nikki wasnt .
Most importantly , Celine had married Adam , the man who seemed almost godlike , and became Mrs.
Alvarez .
Why ? If Celine could have him , why couldnt she ? Nikki had been watching Adam , carefully observing everything that went on around him .
That night , when Leo had gone looking ( Chapter 239 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 Adams 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 Marys joyful voice rang out from the other end .
Adam , hurry up and come home for dinner .
Celines here .
His sharp features shifted almost imperceptibly .
Im heading back now .
Ending the call , Adam glanced toward Leo and said , Pull over .
