Chapter 30
Despite Adam’s questions, Celine hung up without a word, leaving him speechless.
“Damn you, Celine. How dare you hang up on me!” Adam thought
Noticing Alfred Wales, the butler, walking toward him, Adam ordered, “Alfred, call Mrs. Alvarez Tell her that Grandma isn’t feeling well and she needs to come back immediately!
Alfred was taken aback. “But, Mr. Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez Senior is sleeping soundly after taking Mrs. Alvarez’s medicinal soup. She’s fine.”
Adam rolled his eyes. Just lie. You know? Le!!
Alfred was startled. “Mr. Alvarez, I don’t think that’s a good idea. Mrs. Alvarez has been taking care of you and Mrs. Alvarez Senior for the past three years. She’s worked hard. Why not let her have a little time to relax this evening?
Adam’s tone turned cold. “Alfred, make the call.”
Noticing the sharp glare, Alfred quickly pulled out his phone. “Yes, Mr. Alvarez. Right away!”
Adam crossed his arms, his forehead throbbing with anger.
This household was outrageons–no one listened to him anymore. And it was all Celine’s fault she had been completely spoiled by Mary.
Half an hour later, Celine rushed over
“Grandma! Is Grandma alright?” asked Celine anxiously as she opened the door.
“Next target? What are you talking about?”
“Nathan Lynch!”
Adam’s shout startled Celine. She finally realized he had misunderstood her relationship with Nathan
However, instead of explaining, she simply smiled. “Adam, we agreed to stay out of each other’s personal lives. I didn’t say a word about you dancing Intimately with Carly at the club, so you should stay out of my business with Nathan ”
Celine tried to push past him, but Adam’s hand clamped down on her shoulder, pinning her back against the wall. The impact sent a dull ache through her shoulder, making ber gaze turn icy.
“Adam, let me make this clear–I was nice to you because I had a crush on you. But that doesn’t give you the right to treat me however you please. I’m over you, Adam!”
