Chapter 133

Mary looked at the large sign: “Zen Foot Spa.” She took another sip of her milkshake and anxiously asked, “Celine, what kind of place is this?”

Celine raised an eyebrow playfully, smiling. “Wise people avoid love dramas and relax with a massage. Grandma and Halley, I’m treating you both to a foot massage!” They walked in confidently. The shop owner immediately greeted them enthusiastically. He responded cheerfully, "Sue and VITS, please follow me."

At a high-end restaurant, Adam and Carly enjoyed dinner in the romantic glow of candlelight, accompanied by soft piano melodies. Just then, Adam’s phone vibrated. It was a call from the Alvarez Residence. Adam answered, and Alfred’s panicked voice said, “Mr. Alvarez, something bad has happened!”

Adam’s face stiffened, his expression turning cold. “What happened?”

“Mr. Alvarez, Mrs. Alvarez Senior is missing!”

“What? When did she go missing?”

“Ma’am, I went out this afternoon, and when I returned, she was gone. Also, these past few days, Mrs. Alvarez Senior has been asking a lot about Mrs. Alvarez—whether she’s doing well at school and if anyone is bullying her. Could Mrs. Alvarez Senior have gone to find her?”

Adam’s mind raced. He suddenly thought of something and looked through the window at the bubble tea shop across the street. It was very close to Yorhine University. The elderly lady drinking bubble tea earlier was his grandmother.

Adam hung up the phone and immediately stood up.

Carly looked confused. “Adam, what happened?”

He pursed his lips. “Something’s happened to my grandmother. I won’t be able to stay with you tonight. You should head home.” Without another word, Adam turned and left.

The romantic candlelit dinner was ruined, and Carly felt upset. Was Mary doing this on purpose? She had thought that now that she and Adam had broken the ice, they could deepen their relationship. But every time they tried to have a private moment, someone interfered. Yesterday, it was Allie; today, it was Mary!

Soon, Adam arrived at the entrance of Zen Foot Spa. Lea softened his voice as he reported, “Mr. Alvarez, we found out that Mrs. Alvarez… brought Mrs. Alvarez Senior and Ms. Halley here.” Adam glared at the large sign: “Zen Foot Spa.”

“What are they doing here?” he asked.

Adam raised an eyebrow. “Why are you hesitating?”

Lea wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “Wise people avoid love dramas and relax with a massage.”

Adam froze for a moment. So, Celine brought Mary and Halley here for foot massages? Adam quickly stepped into the spa. The owner warmly greeted him: “Hey, handsome. Are you here for a foot massage?”

A well-trained bodyguard named Lea locked the shop owner to the side. Adam walked in with Lea. Each step he took in his sharp, tailored black trousers left a powerful, steady impression, mesmerizing everyone around. The well-rounded male therapist was handsome. The bodyguard opened the door to a VIP room. Adam entered and saw three people inside. Celine, Mary, and Halley were comfortably lying on couches, their feet being pampered by tall, handsome male therapists. Celine smiled and asked, “Giulia, is the foot massage comfortable?”
