Carly drew in a sharp breath, unable to believe what she had just heard. Adam actually expected her to grovel at Celine's feet.
She staggered back two steps, nearly losing her balance before Lucy caught her.
Lucy said, "Mr. Alvarez, how can you do this to Carly? You're just helping Celine humiliate her!"
Adam cast a cold glance at Lucy and asked, "What about you? Isn't Celine your biological daughter? Look at what you've done to her."
Lucy was stunned into silence.
Celine's sharp, almond-shaped eyes locked onto Carly. "Carly, are you doing this or not? My time is valuable, and I don't intend to waste it on you."
Hailey chuckled as she said, "Carly, if you don't grovel now, next time, even if you want to, you'll have to wait in line."
Carly's already pale face lost the last traces of color.
Celine had no patience for her hesitation. "Looks like you haven't made up your mind. I'm leaving."
"Let's go, Celine."
Hailey took Celine's arm, preparing to leave.
Carly clenched her fists tightly at her sides. Just as they were about to walk away, she shouted, "Fine, Celine! I'll do it!"
Celine stopped and turned back, looking at Carly.
With a dull thud, Carly dropped to her knees.
Right in front of the most powerful elites of Mercity, Carly groveled at Celine's feet.
Celine's gaze swept across Sonia, Lucy, Carly, and Tracy. "How did my dad die?"
The question sent a jolt through Sonia and Lucy.
Celine continued, "Who killed my dad? I want an answer. Three days from now on, I want every single person responsible for his death to confess their crimes at his grave before turning yourself in."
Sonia and Lucy stared at her. At that moment, her clear eyes burned with a cold, cutting intensity. It was sharp and unstoppable, like a blade drawn from its sheath.
Celine said, "Did you really think this was the end? No—I'm telling you, this is just the beginning! For years, you've lived in wealth and privilege at the cost of my dad's life. Now, it's time for you to pay it all back!"
With that, Celine turned and walked away.
Her graceful, untouched figure soon vanished into the night.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
