Chapter 496 Mary pointed at Adam, her voice trembling with rage. "You ungrateful brat! How could you even think that? Celine's baby is yours!" Adam slowly turned back to face her. He was a true gentleman, raised with the best education and impeccable manners. He knew the child wasn't his, yet he had chosen not to say it outright.
Adam looked at Mary and calmly began. "Grandma, I..." Hailey's sharp gaze locked onto Adam. "Adam, did someone tell you something? Was it her?" She lifted a hand and pointed directly at Carly.
Carly's expression wavered. "I..." Hailey coldly interrupted, "I see. It must have been Carly who planted that idea in your head, making you think Celine's child isn't yours, right?" Mary opened her mouth to speak, but Hailey grabbed her arm. "Mrs. Alvarez Senior, let's go." Mary hesitated. "But..." "Mrs. Alvarez Senior, trust me. Let's go!" Hailey insisted, pulling Mary away.

Adam froze. "What did you say?" Hailey sneered. "We don't know who's behind it yet, but..." She cast a meaningful glance at Carly and Lucy. "We've already captured the culprits. It won't be long before we find out who's behind this." With that, Hailey pulled Mary out of the room.
Adam turned to Leo. "Is it true?" Leo nodded grimly. "Yes, Mr.
Alvarez. Ms. Celine went through a terrifying ordeal tonight. She was kidnapped and taken to an operating room where they tried to forcibly abort her baby. Mrs. Alvarez Senior and Mr. Lambert arrived just in time.
"If they had been even a second later, Ms. Celine and her baby would have been in serious danger!" Adam took a step forward, urgently asking, "How is she now? Is she hurt?" Leo shook his head. "I don't know. I was thrown out of the hospital room by Mrs Alvarez Senior before I could find out. If you're worried, Mr. Alvarez, you should go see her yourself-" Before Leo could even finish his sentence, Adam had already strode out of the room.
Carly called out desperately, "Adam, don't go! Are you going to see Celine again? Didn't you promise to cut ties with her? Don't go!" However, Adam didn't even spare her a glance. He walked away without hesitation.
Leo followed after him, leaving Carly behind.
"Adam!" Carly called out, clenching her fists in frustration.

Lucy grabbed her arm. "Carly, this is bad! It looks like Celine's baby wasn't aborted after alle No wonder none of these kidnappers or doctors answered my calls earlier." Carly had already guessed as much. They had been so close, but once again, Celine had been saved.
Celine's baby was still alive.
"Why? Why wasn't the baby aborted? That child is a ticking tbomb f Adam finds out the truth, what are we going to do? I don't think we can keep this secret for much longer!"
Carly clutched Lucy's hand in panic. "Mom, what do we do now? What if those kidnappers and doctors spill everything Mrs. Alvarez Senior and Mr. Lambert are already involved, and Adam's gone to see Celine. If they find out it was us, I swear Mrs. Alvarez Senior will tear us apart!" Her body ached from the beating earlier, and fear clawed at her chest. Mary's cane had hurt like hell.
If the truth cout, they were doomed.
