Chapter 191
Celine was stunned momentarily.
Nikki had been hiding behind Celine, but she stopped crying after seeing Adam. Her pale complexion gradually transformed into a charming blush, and her eyes became fixated on his striking, tall figure. She gazed at him with undeniable admiration.
Atter Adam left, Donald stared at Celine. “Haha. You claimed to be Mrs. Alvarez, yet it’s clear that Mr. Alvarez doesn’t even recognize you. You’re just a liar.”
Celine was at a loss for words.
Donald was determined not to waste another moment. “Get them!”
Two bodyguards in black immediately grabbed Celine and Nikki forcefully. Nikki struggled and shouted, “Let me go!”
Celine appeared remarkably composed as she carried silver needles and drugs. She planned to take Nikki away once they entered the room with Donald.
Just then, Donald gestured. “Take them to the car,”
Two bodyguards dressed in black urged them onward when, unexpectedly, a voice called out from behind.
“Excuse me, Mr. Holt.”
Upon turning around, Donald spotted Noah Cobalt coming out of Adam’s private room. He was the one who spoke.
“Hi, Mr. Cobalt.”
“Mr. Holt, Mr. Alvarez has invited you for a drink.”
Donald felt delighted at the unexpected invitation from Adam. It was a significant honor for him. “Alright. I’m heading in now.”
He wrapped his arms around Celine’s smooth shoulders. “Come on, join me inside to raise a toast to Mr. Alvarez. And remember to behave!”
Two bodyguards restrained Nikki outside. If Celine disobeyed, Nikki would be in danger. Hence, Celine had no choice but to follow Donald into the luxurious private room.
In the opulent private room, Celine spotted Adam occupying the central seat. He exuded an air of charm and nobility as the businessmen surrounding him filled his glass with wine.
It was her first time seeing him in such a social setting, where he appeared powerful and commanding. She hadn’t expected to reunite with him after so many days in this environment.
Donald wrapped his arm around her shoulders, guiding her to a seat directly across from Adam. The other businessmen nearby couldn’t help but tease him. “Mr. Holt, is she your new partner?”
“Yes. She is a student at Yorhine University.”
“Mr. Holt, your preference is still the same. You’re still interested in students.”
The men exchanged all sorts of absurdities during the gathering. With a grin, Donald replied, “Mr. Alvarez, you’ll find this quite amusing. She just claimed she is your wife.”
Adam was sitting across from her. After Donald spoke, he raised his striking eyelids to meet her gaze. He looked down at her condescendingly, and the comers of his lips twitched slightly as if he were mocking her.
Celine was eagerly wishing for Donald to stop talking.
“She’s truly fearless. How dare she claim to be Mr. Alvarez’s wife?”
“Students today are very smart and often seek to connect with wealthy men.”
“Many students likely want to connect with Mr. Alvarez.”
The businessmen were laughing at Celine, making her face turn red with embarrassment.
Afterward, Donald raised his glass and said, “Mr. Alvarez, I toast to you.”
Adam reclined effortlessly, maintaining an air of dignity. He didn’t return the toast. Instead, he gazed at Celine, “Have her come over to toast with this wine.”
