Chapter 102

The press conference spiraled into chaos, with accusations flying at Celine from every direction.

Adam’s gaze was ice–cold, a flicker of exasperation crossing his otherwise impassive face. Did Celine not realize this was like walking into the lion’s den? How reckless could she be to come here alone?
