The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 231

Celine noticed the desire in Adam’s eyes. Even the comers of his narrow eyes had turned red.

He froze and looked up at her.

Celine pointed toward the door. “Mr. Alvarez, now you’ll have to coax your Ms. Barnett back.”

The quick–witted Adam immediately understood what she was implying Celine wasn’t genuinely trying to seduce him. She was merely putting on an act

The lust in his eyes faded instantly, and his clarity returned. He looked at Celine coldly. “Get off me now!”

Celine didn’t hesitate and got off him immediately.

Adam stood up and walked toward the floor–to–ceiling windows, cursing Celine inwardly. “Go ahead. What do you want from me?” he said.

“Mr. Alvarez, Robin didn’t cut Ms. Barnett’s wire. She’s being wrongfully accused. I hope you can show mercy and release her,” Celine explained her

Adam hadn’t paid attention to Nikki’s fall, so he didn’t know it had anything to do with Robin. Leo had called to ask for his approval, and he had let Nikki handle it.

It seemed that Celine had come for her best friend, Robin.

Adam turned to her and smirked. “Celine, are you begging me?”

Celine’s heart missed a beat. For Robin’s sake, she had to humble herself, “Yes, Mr. Alvarez. I’m begging you.”

To beg you need to show sincerity. Have you thought about what you’ll offer in return?”

His blunt words made Celine stiffen.

Adam’s gaze moved over her slender figure, and he said teasingly, “It looks like you haven’t figured it out. Come back when you know what you can offer

Celine reached out and grabbed the sleeve of his shirt. “Mr. Alvarez.”

Adem stopped. “Celine, I’m not a philanthropist. Why would I go easy on your friend? Honestly, I’d want nothing from you except your body.” When he went to the hospital to see her that night, she had refused him. Now, he wanted to see if she would change her n

her mind. Celine clenched her fingers. She didn’t understand him. She had already slept with him, but he had found her dull and uninteresting She couldn’t understand why he was making this request now. Did he long to touch her again?

“Mr. Alvarez, aren’t you afraid that Carly and Ms. Barnett will find out?”

Adam showed no emotion. “This is our secret. Isn’t that what you said before? I help you, and you repay

y me. That’s

Celine fell silent. She slowly released his sleeve

“Think it over. When you’ve figured it out, come find me,” “he said.

With that, Adam left. noveldrama

game you set up.”

Since Adan refused to help her, Celine had no choice but to go to the police station to visit Robin.

“Ms. Tate, we can’t see Ms. Smith anymore,” Joshua informed her.

Celine was stunned. “Why?”

Joshua’s expression grew serious, “Mr. Alvarez just gave orders not to allow us to visit Ms. Smith anymore.”

Celine was taken aback by how rulless Adam could be, forcing her into such a difficult situation.

Robin was locked up alone, and she had no idea how she was doing

Tears welled up in her eyes. She didn’t want to make the kind of deal with Adam, but with his overwhelming pressure, she was helpless. “Ms. Tate, what should we do now?
