Longing for a fight? Adam's gaze turned sharp, and the tension between him and Nathan escalated instantly. Invisible sparks flew between them.

Carly was stunned. She hadn't expected Nathan to consider fighting Adam for Celine's sake. They had been best friends since childhood, practically brothers.

She turned to Celine and reprimanded, "Are you happy now? You've got two men fighting over you, all thanks to your little act of seduction. You're really something, aren't you?"

"That's enough, Carly!" Nathan shouted, clenching his fists.

Celine reached out, pulling Nathan back. "Mr. Lynch, it's fine. I'm not worth the trouble."

His expression softened. "No, Celine. You're worth everything I do."

Instantly, a warm current flowed through her. He took his coat, draping it over her shoulders before taking her hand. "Celine, let's go. There's nothing fun about staying here. We're leaving." He was determined to take her away.

"Wait a moment," she said.

He released her hand. She picked up her phone. "Mr. Lynch, now we can go."

Nathan smiled, taking her hand again. "Let's go."

In no time, only Adam and Carly remained in the Celestial Suite.

She sneered. "Adam, I didn't expect Nathan to disregard your friendship for Celine. That woman is truly a vixen!"

Adam's expression was cold and unyielding. He lifted his leg and kicked the trash can forcefully. It clanged harshly against the floor.

Carly smiled. She had called room service for the condoms and lingerie; her goal was achieved.

He placed his hands on his hips, suppressing his anger. "We should get ready to leave, too."

She was in a great mood. This vacation had gone exceedingly well. "Alright. I'll go get Melody."

Carly left to find Melody. In the corridor, she ran into Willie and his men. Visibly annoyed, Willie barked, "Useless idiots! The resort isn't even that big, and you still couldn't find her!"

"Willie, we really searched everywhere, but she vanished," one said.

"We only saw her in a red bikini," another added.

Carly stopped abruptly. A red bikini? Wasn't Celine in a red bikini? Were they looking for her?

She watched Willie and his men enter his room. They were clearly ruthless gangsters. If Celine had crossed paths with them, perhaps she could use them to get rid of her. All she wanted was for Celine to be gone.

Carly pulled out her phone, opening a picture Melody had taken. Celine was clearly visible in the background, wearing a red bikini. The photo would be useful.

Back in his room, Willie heard the doorbell. He opened the door to find the hallway empty. He noticed a photo on the ground—a picture of Celine in her red bikini. His eyes lit up; a bloodthirsty smile spread across his face. "We've found her!"

Meanwhile, Nathan led Celine out of the resort.

She looked at him apologetically. "Mr. Lynch, please don't let there be bad blood between you and Mr. Alvarez because of me."

"Celine, I've known Adam for years. His character is impeccable. I've never seen him act so harshly toward a woman." Adam's attitude toward Celine had been far too aggressive; he had gone overboard.
