Chapter 239 It must have been something she did , a last ditch effort that successfully saved Robin .

Celine hadnt hung up the phone yet when Hailey already heard Adams voice .

Celine , where are you and Mr.

Alvarez right now ? Celine , I can already see his car ! The next second , a series of hurried knocks echoed .

Hailey had arrived and was tapping on the car window .

Celine hadnt expected Hailey to be nearby .

Even though the expensive black tinted windows concealed the interior , Haileys sudden appearance startled her .

After all , she was still sitting on Adams lap , and they were entangled in an intimate embrace .

At that moment , Adams low , magnetic voice broke the silence .

Celine , He was calling her name .

She turned to look at him .

What is it ? What ? Adams gaze dropped .

His lean , muscled waist was tightly wrapped by her fair , slender legs .

In her earlier fright , she had instinctively clung to him .

His Adams apple bobbed slightly .

Your legs .

Its too tight .

Celines face turned bright red in an instant .

She quickly loosened her grip , awkwardly climbing back to the passenger seat .

Then , she opened the car doar Hey , Halley , Celine , Hailey excitedly grabbed Celines hand .

Robin is safe now .

Lets head to the police station and bring her horne .

Alright , lets get a cab .

A cab ? Why ? Well take Mr.

Alvarezs car .

Celine wanted to decline , but Hailey opened the back door and shoved her inside without giving her a chance to refuse Turning to the man in the drivers seat , Hailey said , Mr.

Alvarez , could you please take us to the police station ? Adams earlier smoldering intensity had mostly dissipated , replaced by his usual cold and composed demeanor .

Rolling down the window slightly , he let the cool evening breeze drift in before starting the luurious car and driving toward the police station .

Alvarez , were you surprised when Ms.

Barnett suddenly changed her statement and released Robin ? Halleys tone was sharp , carrying a pointed dissatisfaction with him .

Adams handsome face remained calm , showing no emotion , though inside , he was indeed surprised .

Nikki had actually flipped her statement .

Hailey smirked proudly .

Its all thanks to Celine .

Before she went to Alvarez Group to see you , she sent a text message to Nikki .

That message scared her so much that she immediately flipped her story .

A text message ? Adams sharp eyes flicked toward Celine through the rearview mirror .

What kind of message ? Celine looked at him calmly .

The message said , Mr.

Alvarez told me to beg him .

Those simple words conveyed everything , and Nikki would immediately understand .

Adams thin lips curved faintly Into a smile .

So , her visit to Alvarez Group had been intended for Nikld to see .

No wonder she had been stalling for time on the way .

She had been waiting for Nikkis response This sly woman ! Mr.

Alvarez , isnt Celine clever ? Adam let out a low , husky chuckle .

This time , he had become her p counterattack .

He had used him to turn the tables and regain control with a brilliant Adain sharply gazed at the rearview mirror , casually casting a glance at Celine .

She is clever .

The way he said clever sounded less like a compliment and more like mockery .
