Suddenly, Hailey grabbed Celine's arm. "Celine, tellthe truth. How did the birthmark on my face disappear? I've been thinking about it. Yesterday, you gavea really bitter pill to eat. Don't lie to me. It has to be because of that pill, right?" Celine opened her mouth to say something when a knock sounded at the door. Who could that be? Hailey quickly went to open the door, revealing a tall, elegant figure standing there. It was Adarn.
"Mr. Alvarez, what are you doing here? I haven't had the chance to find you yet. You'd better be careful of Carly. That girl is vicious and scheming! If it weren't for Celine, she would've ruined me!" Halley said indignantly.
Adam looked at Halley's small, delicate lace. The birthmark was gone. Without it, Halley looked as soft and radiant as a luminous pearl. This was his cousin He had been in the car yesterday when he saw Celine casually swipe her hand across Hailey's face, erasing the mark. No one was more stunned than he was James hadn't returned yet, but when he did, the entire Lambert family would be in for a shock. For years, the Lamberts had spared no effort in trying to find a way to remove the birthmark, but nothing had ever worked. Yet now, it was completely gone.
Adam pressed his lips into a thin line and asked, "How did yo d your birthmark disappear?” Celine wanted to stop Halley from speaking, but she blurted out, “It's because Celine gavethis really bitter pill to eat." Celine was speechless. She silently cursed herself for not preparing a consistent story with Hailey beforehand. The next second, she saw Adam lift his eyes. Those sharp, hawk-like eyes were locked onto her. His gaze was calm yet piercing, as if peeling back layers to see straight through her.
"Hailey, could you step outside for a minute?" he asked in a low voice. Hailey nodded. "Okay." Once Hailey left, Adam stepped into the dorm room and closed the door behind him. His steady strides carried him closer to Celine, and with his Imposing presence, it felt as if the entire room was now cloaked in his shadow. "Where did you get that pill? Celine tilted her face up to meet his gaze. "I'm not telling you." Adam was taken aback.

It was clear Celine didn't want to talk to him. Without another word, she turned on her heal and was ready to leave. However, before she could take a step forward, Adam grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks. Forced to a halt, Celine frowned and started to struggle. "Mr. Alvarez, let go of mel Show so the respect, or I won't go easy on you!"
Her warning had barely left her lips when Adam suddenly tightened his grip and pulled her directly into his chest.
Celine looked up only to see the faintest hint of amusement on his face. He let out a low, mocking chuckle as he gazed down at her. "You talk a big game. First, you say you'll teach my woman a lesson Now, you're threatening me? Celine, you really think you're something, don't you?
