Adam answered the call, and a rough male voice came through. "Mr. Alvarez, good evening."
Adam held the phone, his face unreadable. "Who are you?"
"Mr. Alvarez, my identity doesn't matter. All you need to know is that the person you're looking for is with me."
Lucy's eyes widened in alarm. "He's the one who took Carly! Mr. Alvarez, we have to save her!"
Adam's tone remained cold. "Carly is with you?"
"That's right. Here, I'll let her talk to you."
A moment later, Carly's voice came through, panicked and desperate. "Adam, help me! Please! I'm so scared!"
Adam's lips pressed into a thin, icy line. "What do you want?"
"Mr. Alvarez, I want money. Get one billion dollars ready immediately."
Adam let out a short, mocking laugh. "You kidnapped someone and are now extorting me for one billion? That's more than enough to lock you away for life. You'll never see the outside world again."
The man on the other end of the line wasn't the least bit intimidated. "Mr. Alvarez, don't try to scare me. I wasn't raised to be afraid of threats. Is one billion dollars too much for one person's life? What if I make it two?"
A sharp glint flashed through Adam's eyes. "Two people?"
At that moment, Perry rushed over. "Mr. Alvarez, bad news. Celine is missing."
Dr. C had been scheduled to make her appearance, but when Perry went upstairs to check, she was nowhere to be found.
Celine had disappeared.
Adam froze for a brief moment before gripping his phone even tighter. "Celine—is she with you too?"
Somewhere in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Celine's eyes fluttered open.

We getting somewhere with revelations...
Pls upload more chapters coz it’s not enough to be honest. But I’m thankful for the 4 chapters. Thanks! And author please let Celine have her justice and let those people who wronged her be punished. Pls, I am so invested in this and it’s so exhausting to read about Celine’s being bullied and hurt over and over again. Let Celine shine pls!!!🙏...
I knew it! Lucy poisoned them. But, It’s about time that the truth will prevail. Hope Adam would listen. I just hope that Carly and Lucy won't get a chance to interfere and stop Adam from finding out the truth! It’s time that Celine will get her justice and get back everything that’s belong to her especially her Identity. Whether Adam believes Celine, it’s up to him. But he’s a moron lol. I hate him from being so blind!...
I dont understand, why lucy hates celine so much? She is her daughter, biological daughter... Why she scemed against celine, as if she is her mortal enemy.....
Hopefully the truth comes out soon....
That’s just great! Let me guess, the truth won’t be revealed because Lucy and Carly poison those kidnappers and the doctors lol. In the end Adam will take Carly sides again lol! Same old same old....
Finally!!! I can breathe! Grandma pls protect Celine at all cost. Now everyone knows that Celines baby is Adams! Yes!! Thanks Author for this wonderful chapter!...
