Chapter 248 Hailey and Robin called out , Celine , why are you walking so fast ? Wait for us ! Adam watched Celine walk away and smiled .
Just then , his phone buzzed with a message from Nikki .
She seemned impatient , asking , Mr.
Alvarez , are you here yet ? Adams cold gaze deepened , and he responded simply , Im here , Nikki was thrilled to see Adams reply at her birthday party .
He was truly coming .
However , it was a shame that Celine wasnt here .
She really wished Celine could witness this moment .
Everyone , the birthday party can start now because the important guest Ive been waiting for is here , she announced .
Sweetheart , who is it exactly ? Ms.
Barnett , could you please bring out the important guest ? We are eager to meet him .
Nikki grinned .
In that case , lets bring him on stage right now .
The banquet hall door opened , drawing everyones attention .
Nikki walked forward happily and said , Mr.
Al- As she was about to call out Adams name , she froze in disbelief at the sight of an unexpected figure approaching her .
To her surprise , it wasnt Adam at all .
It was her boyfriend , Liam Walker .
Liam arrived from the construction site , still clad in his work uniform .
With a joyful stride , he approached Nikki and exclaimed , Happy birthday , Nikki ! Nikki was stunned .
Why had Liam shown up , and where was Adam ? Throughout the years , Liam had been supporting Nikkis university studies , but she only used him .
With her striking beauty and impressive physique , she simply viewed Liam as nothing more than a stepping stone .
He wasnt worthy of her .
She desired a partner like Adam , dreamed of celebrity status , and envisioned marrying a wealthy man .
She was eager to escape her impoverished upbringing and elevate her status .
She had been secretly dating Llam , keeping their relationship hidden from everyone , but now he made a surprising entrance at her birthday party .
Everyone turned to Liam .
Whos this ? Ms.
Barnett , is he the important guest youve been waiting for ? Liams work uniform had sparked hushed conversations among fans and media .
Nikkis expression shifted instantly .
She couldnt allow anyone to discover her connection with Liam .
Turning to him , she declared , Who are you ? I dont know you .
You must have mistaken me for someone else .
Its my birthday today .
Please leave .
Nikld began to chase him away .
Liam grasped her arm , saying , Nikki , whats going on ? Im your boyfriend .
Fans and media reporters were left astonished , exclaiming , Ms.
Barnett is in a relationship with a construction worker ? Panic washed over Nikki at Liams unexpected presence .
His arrival threatened to shatter her moment of triumph .
I dont know him ! Please get him out ! She began to call security , and Liams anxiety heightened .
He wrapped his arms around her .
Nikki , why wont you acknowledge me as your boyfriend ? Do you look down on me now that youve become a celebrity ? Do you think Im not worthy of you ? Before Nikki could speak , Liam showed the photos on his phone to the reporters .
Look ! Here are the intimate pictures of Nikki and me .
Im her boyfriend .
Ive been working tirelessly at the construction site to fund her education .
Ive spent over a million dollars on her .
She promised that she would marry me once she graduates .
Liam had many photos on his phone , including moments with Nikki where they were hugging and kissing like a couple .
The sight lett everyone in awe .
