Hailey let out a sharp, cold laugh. "Carly, why are you in such a hurry? Alfred is an old acquaintance of yours, isn't he? Didn't you bring him in all those years ago to help save Mr. Alvarez?"
Robin gasped. "Wait a minute, Carly! Why did it seem like you didn't even recognize Alfred earlier?"
Adam, too, began to sense something was off. Just moments ago, Carly had shown nothing but disdain for Alfred, treating him as if he were a complete stranger.
He fixed her with a pointed stare. "Carly, you don't know Alfred?"
Panic flickered across Carly's face. "I was so young back then. I just forgot for a moment. But I remember now! Yes, it's Alfred. Adam, my heart doesn't feel right. Let's stop talking and start the surgery right away."
Lucy could feel the tension thickening in the air. She hadn't anticipated such a startling revelation just before the operation.
Stepping forward, she quickly interjected, "Mr. Alvarez, let's focus on the surgery for now. We can deal with the past later."
Sonia nodded anxiously. "Yes, Mr. Alvarez. Carly's heart surgery is critical. That should be our priority."
Suddenly, Celine's clear voice rang out. "Carly, are you really going to keep pretending?"
"Damn, Carly. Watching you try to maintain your lie is honestly pathetic—like a clown putting on a bad show," Hailey sneered.
Adam's gaze shifted to Celine. "What exactly are you implying?"
Robin spoke up. "Mr. Alvarez, we're not implying anything. We're just telling you the truth."
"The truth?" Adam snapped.
Alfred stepped forward, meeting Adam's gaze head-on. "Why do you believe Carly was the one who saved you?"
A wave of realization swept over Adam. His lips pressed into a tight line as the truth began to sink in. "Are you saying… she wasn't the one who saved me?"
Alfred slapped his thigh, his voice rising with conviction. "Exactly! She wasn't! She was never the one who saved you that night!"
Carly wasn't his savior.
His eyes locked on Alfred. "Are you absolutely certain? She has the emerald necklace. That proves she's the one who saved me."
Carly nodded frantically. "Yes, it was me!"
Hailey let out a sharp, cold laugh. "Mr. Alvarez, I think it's time you saw something. This will clear up all your doubts. Trust me, it's quite a revelation."
Adam turned toward Hailey as she pulled out her phone and played a video.
On the screen, Carly could be seen sneaking into Celine's living room. While Celine was distracted, Carly swiped the emerald necklace.
Carly gasped, her heart dropping into her stomach.
How could there be surveillance cameras in Tate Manor?
Her theft had been caught on tape.

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....
