Chapter 555
Celine and Perry arrived at the airport terminal, where Robin and Hailey had come to see her off.
Robin looked at Celine with reluctance. "Celine, are you really leaving?"
Celine nodded. "Robin, it's only temporary. I'll be back soon."
Robin reached out and gently touched Celine's belly. "Right now, the baby comes first. I'm still waiting to be the godmother, you know."
Hailey pulled Celine into a hug. "Are you really just leaving like this? Mr. Alvarez doesn't even know you're leaving today. He doesn't know this child is his. Shouldn't you at least wait for him?"
Though Hailey had always taken Celine's side, Adam was still her cousin by blood. She couldn't shake the feeling that this wasn't how things were supposed to end between them.
Celine gave a faint smile and responded, "Hailey, whatever was between us is over. Some things just aren't meant to be."noveldrama
"Alright then. Just take care of yourself, okay?"
Then, Hailey hugged Celie tightly.
As he watched the three of them struggle to part, Perry chuckled. "Come one, it's not like you'll never see each other again. A plane ride is just a few hours... you're acting like this is some tragic farewell. Celine, we should go now."
Celine let go of Hailey and Robin. "Hailey, Robin, I'll get going first. Bye."
"Goodbye, Celine," they said, waving with heavy hearts.
Perry picked up the suitcase and left with Celine.
Even though this city held so much pain for her, Celine still felt reluctant to leave.
This city held her most cherished memories. Four years of her life were woven
into its streets, every moment with Adam etched into the past.
Just then, a soft melody broke the silence. Her phone was ringing.
She glanced at the screen. It was Adam.
Celine stared at the caller ID but didn't answer.
Perry said, "Celine, if you want to pick up, just do it."
Celine shook her head and replied, "No... There's nothing left to say. Let's go."
Without hesitation, she declined the call and walked with Perry toward the boarding gate.
Suddenly, a group of highly trained bodyguards in black surged forward, surrounding Celine and Perry.
Perry immediately stepped in front of Celine, shielding her behind him.
Celine looked up and spotted Nigel's personal butler, Eren Jaeger.
Eren approached her and said, "Ms. Celine, I'm sorry, but you can't leave Mercity."
Nigel had really sent people to stop her from leaving. He was outright refusing to let her go.
Celine frowned. "Why can't I leave? What is Mr. Hampton trying to do?"
Eren replied, "Ms. Celine, after Ms. Carly met you at the boutique, she was poisoned. She's still unconscious."
What?
Celine was stunned.
Carly was poisoned?
She gave a faint smile and asked, "So, Mr. Hampton suspects that I poisoned her?"
Eren was Nigel's trusted butler, so
he had to choose his words
1.n
carefully. Ms. Celine, I don't know t you're responsible for it, but Mr. Hampton requests that you come to Tate Manor and cure her. Until Ms. Carly is safe, you won't be allowed to leave Mercity."
Celine hadn't expected that the ones preventing her from leaving wouldn't be Adam but Nigel and Carly.
What kind of twisted fate was this?
Perry stepped in front of her, letting. out a cold laugh. "Mr. Hampton truly lives up to his reputation as the world's richest man. He was so ruthless and overbearing. What if Celine insists on leaving Mercity and refuses to go to Tate Manor?"
Eren smiled as he said, "If Mr. Hampton says she isn't leaving
Mercity, then no plane in this city will takeoff with her on it. Unless she can grow wings and fly..."
Perry was furious. "You"
What do you think?
