Nathan looked at Adam. "Adam, why aren't you saying anything?"

Adam's elegant face was apathetic. He replied, "She's already said everything, hasn't she? Excuse me from this conversation."

Celine, a little embarrassed, said, "Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Lynch, I'll be leaving now. Please excuse me." She then left.

Nathan went to Adam and grumbled, "Adam, you have to do better next time."

Adam looked at Nathan, conflicted.

"Next time, when I'm with Celine, you have to find an excuse to leave so we can be alone. Got it?"

Adam was speechless. This was his office, and he felt unwanted. He retorted, "You two leave, then."

"Wait, Adam, what's with this attitude? I'm your best buddy, and if your best buddy is pursuing a woman, shouldn't you help him out? You agreed to me pursuing Celine last—"

Adam didn't know what to say. Celine was still legally his wife, and he didn't like being cheated on.

Adam smirked and said nonchalantly, "You're a pro in the romantic field. Is there any woman you can't successfully pursue?"

"Celine is different. She's too innocent. I'm afraid I'll scare her."

Adam was flabbergasted. Was she innocent? Her delicate features looked naive and innocent, yet she was the one kissing him and initiating physical intimacy.

As Adam reminisced about the previous night, a pleasurable tingle arose from his spine, spreading throughout his body in a wave of sensation. It was brilliant, passionate, intoxicating.

Every time he thought about last night, Adam's mind raced. She wasn't innocent in bed at all. She was exceptionally skilled. She didn't just seduce men with her looks; she could completely captivate them. No man would dislike a woman who appeared innocent but was so adept in bed.

Adam didn't answer Nathan.

At that moment, Leo walked in and reported quietly, "Mr. Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez has left. She's headed to the press conference."

Did she plan to go to the press conference alone?

Adam's lips pursed into a grim line. She had said she would handle it herself. He assumed she had a way to stop the conference. Who knew she would go to the battlefield alone? What was she up to? Was she going to get herself into trouble again?

Adam got up and walked briskly. "Prepare the car. We'll head to the press conference." He wanted to see what she was doing.

Nathan followed. "Bring me along, Adam."

This was a large-scale press conference. All six mainstream media companies of Mercity were present. Journalists and paparazzi were snapping photos excitedly.

Larry stood before the camera, assuming the persona of a humble villager. "Celine may be my adopted daughter, but I always treated her like my own" Larry sobbed.
