Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Adans answer stunned Larry.

After a brief moment of thought, Larry hummed.

Ill let you decide, Mr.

Alvarez Adam nodded.

How about a million? A million dollars? Larrys eyes lit up.

He hadnt expected Adam to other such a large sum.

Thats 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 d 1 dollars.

He grinned.

Thank you, Mr.

Alvarez.

Ill be leaving now.

With the check in hand, Larry left the estate glectully.

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.

Im serious.

Dont joke with me Adam took off his expensive watch and placed it on the nightstand.

He cocked an eyebrow at her tease expression.

Nothing much.

He just asked for money.

Celines face fell And did you give it to him? Idid Adam nodded.

How much? Celine sucked in a breath.

One million dollars.

Adam shrugged Celine was speechless.

Why would you give him money? And why that much? Adam approached her and teased, Celine, whats wrong? Thats your adoptive father.

Whats the bar in giving him a million? Celine observed him.

Adam was always generous and kind to her.

To him, a million dollars was nothing more than a pocket change.

Her eyes locked onto his handsome face.

He asked for a million today.

Tomorrow, itll be two million.

Youre just fueling his greed.

Im going to get that money back for you right Celine turned to leave, but Adam grabbed her arm.

Celine, whats gotten into you? He asked in a lowered voice, Why was your adoptive father imprisoned? A tenyear sentence isnt a light punishment, He sounded curious, but his tone remained gentle.

Adam, raised in privilege and refined education, embodied grace and decency.

He had always treated her well, never once looking down on her because of her past.

Even Mary had shown acceptance toward her, embodying the true values of an esteemed family.

Celine didnt answer when Larry threw the question back at her.

But it wasnt because she felt ashamed.

She just thought it wasnt necessary.

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, dont push your luck.

She sighed.

Adam, dont get involved in things you cant take responsibility for.

Dont 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 didnt belong to her.

They would divorce soon.

He was meant for Carly.

No matter how much she yearned for his support, she couldnt 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.
