Chapter 240 Celine met his gaze with her clear , sparkling eyes and responded with a graceful smile .

Thank you for the compliment , Mr.

Alvarez Half an hour later , a Rolls Royce Phantom pulled up in front of the police station .

Celine and Hailey walked inside and escorted Robin out of the cell Celine gave Robin a big hug .

Robin , youve had a tough couple of days .

Robin was energetic and upbeat .

Ive been enjoying state sponsored meals , eating well , drinking well , and sleeping well .

Everythings great .

The three of them laughed together .

At that moment , Nikki approached , her gaze fixed venomously on Celine .

She had planned to use Robin to humiliate Celine , but the latter had turned the rables , reversing the situation Even so , Nikki was unwilling to accept defeat .

She knew Adam had feelings for Celine , especially after that night .

The woman who had shared that intimate night with Adam was Celine .

When Nikki saw Celines text message , panic took hold She had someone investigate and learn that Celine had indeed gone to Alvarez Group to meet Adam .

Shortly after , Adam had left with Celine in his luxury car .

Afraid , Nikki had no choice but to go to the police station , retract her testimony , and release Robin .

Nilds sweet and innocent expression turned resentful as she looked at Celine .

Celine, you know full well that Im with Mr.

Alvarez , yet you still try to seduce him .

Youre shameless .

Nikdd , Celine said sharply , glancing outside .

Alvarez is right there .

Be good and dont let him see your ugly side .

Nikki turned and spotted the Rolls Royce Phantom parked outside .

The luxury car sat in the dim light , exuding understated mystery .

Although she couldnt see inside , she felt a pair of cold , piercing eyes fixed on her .

Nildas expression quickly shifted from venomous to pitiful .

Just then , she heard a faint scoff .

Turning back , she met Celines gaze .

Standing under the dazzling lights , Celines bright , intelligent eyes pierced through Nikki , stripping away her carefully crafted facade .

Niklas face turned pale .

Halley let out a sigh .

Shes quite the actress .

So convincing .

Robin walked over and bumped Nikkis shoulder .

Barnett , youre knowingly being the other woman .

Youd better hope no one digs up your dirt and exposes you , or your new image as the nations sweetheart will instantly turn into the nations scandalous seductress .

Nidd clenched her fists .

Celine spoke calmly , Robin , Hailey , lets go .

Celine led her two friends away , Fury burned inside Nild , but she dared not act for fear that Adam might see .

She walked toward the Rolls Royce Phantom .

At that moment , the drivers side window rolled down , revealing Adams distinguished and striking face .

Alvarez , Celine and I are friends .

Even though Robin tried to harm me , I decided to let her go .

She was eager to portray herself as kind hearted and forgiving Adam lounged casually , his long fingers resting on the steering wheel .

He raised his sharp gaze and looked at her emotionlessly .

Then , his cold voice rang out .

Was it really you that night ? Nika froze , confused by his question : What ? Adams voice turned even colder .

The woman with me that night at Lux Garden .

Was it really you ? Alarmed , Nikkis mind raced .

Why was he asking this ? Had he discovered something ? Did he know the woman from that night wasnt her , but Celine ? Desperately trying to steady herself , Nikki replied , Of course , it was me , Mr.

Adam caught the flicker of guilt in her eyes .

His gaze instantly turned icy and dangerous .
