Adam nodded. Yes, he would not waver again.

He had to save Carly at all costs.

Adam looked at Celine. "Celine, just treat Carly's heart condition. I don't want to

force you."

Celine's heart sank completely. Adam had truly chosen to stand with Carly and the people who killed her father.

She let out a cold laugh. "Mr. Alvarez, if you want to force me, you should consider if you have what it takes!"

Sonia scoffed. "Celine, that's quite arrogant of you to say that. Even if you're the legendary Dr. C, you can't stand against a tycoon like Mr. Alvarez. With just a flick of his fingers, he can crush you like nothing!"

Lucy added, "Celine, we have already given you a way out. Just take it. There's no benefit in making things ugly for yourself. I'm saying this for your own good."

Carly chimed in, "Celine, if you won't think of yourself, at least think of Perry. You wouldn't want him to close his life because of you, would you?"

Celine shot Carly an icy glare. "I'll find a way to deal with Perry's situation myself. You should worry about yourselves instead. I won't let my father's death go unanswered. Every one of you who had a hand in it—I'll make sure you rot in prison!"

Sonia's expression darkened. "You!"
