Adam's answer stunned Larry. After a brief moment of thought, Larry hummed. "I'll let you decide, Mr. Alvarez."
Adam nodded. "How about a million?"
A million dollars? Larry's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Adam to offer such a large sum.
"That's more than enough," Larry quickly said.
Adam pulled out a checkbook, wrote the amount, and handed it to Larry.
Larry counted the zeros carefully. It really was a million dollars. He grinned. "Thank you, Mr. Alvarez. I'll be leaving now."
With the check in hand, Larry left the estate gleefully.

When Adam returned to the bedroom, Celine was there, waiting for him.
She stared at him. "What did Larry say to you?"
Adam unbuttoned the first button of his black shirt, revealing his collarbone. He chuckled. "What do you think he said?"
Celine frowned. "I'm serious. Don't joke with me."
Adam took off his expensive watch and placed it on the nightstand. He cocked an eyebrow at her tense expression. "Nothing much. He just asked for money.”
Celine’s face fell “And did you give it to him?”
“I did” Adam nodded.
“How much?” Celine sucked in a breath.
“One million dollars.” Adam shrugged
Celine stared at Adam. “This is a personal matter. It has nothing to do with you”
Adam smiled faintly. He tugged her closer and muttered with a mix of amusement and annoyance, “Celine, don’t push your luck.”
She sighed. “Adam, don’t get involved in things you can’t take responsibility for. Don’t give people hope and end up disappointing them in the end.”
She pulled her arm free from his grip and turned to leave.
Adam was a good man, but he didn’t belong to her. They would divorce soon. He was meant for Carly. No matter how much she yearned for his support, she couldn’t bring herselt to rely on him
He had promised to take her away years ago. He would never know how long she waited for him there. She waited day after day, but he never came
Instead, she only faced the arrival of that monster Larry
Adam had never come to take her away.

Where are you Celine and Fiona save Nigel from that bitch she's raping Nigel......
i swear i want to message the author directly and stop this nonsense...its getting real boring and repeative already that there is more BAD than the good bits already...urghhh...
Yeah you're not his daughters after all...so you don't have the right for all his assets.. you're just a impostor taking the life that should be to Celine his real heiress...hope to reveal the truth immediately... don't make it hard for your readers author......
Dear author I don’t understand why you would drag this out for so long when I’m sure this was written already...
Dear author, I really appreciate your work. The drama had a good start and was really interesting. But it would be very much preferable if you could too much dragging and unwanted complexity just to keep the chapters on. Rather than making it as excited plot twists it now sounds more to a way of filling the page. Please let's have this drama back to the track. Looking forward for this drama to revive and see a ray of hope. Thanks,...
Can't you just reveal the truth already??!!...
Even without Anna reveiling she changed the DNA, I could already guess... And I hate the story already 😑 Thanks tho👍...
Seems like i'll stop reading because this is just too annoying 😑😒...
Why will the writer allow that DNA test to be tempered with.the story is becoming boring...
