The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 520

But this time, Adam didn't even spare Carly a glance.

She was like the boy who cried wolf—left defenseless when she finally needed saving the most.

Celine stepped forward, towering over Carly. "Carly, stop deceiving yourself. There was never going to be a surgery."

Carly's eyes widened as the truth hit her. "I understand now… This was all a setup! You knew from the start that I was pretending to be you. You pretended to agree to the surgery, but in reality, this was all part of your plan to expose me. That's why you brought Alfred here today—to unveil the truth!"

A mocking smile spread across Celine's lips. "Well, well, you're not as dumb as I thought. That's right. I planned everything. Today was the day I was going to rip off your mask and reclaim what's mine."

"Celine, you're so cruel! We share the same last name! How could you do this to me?"

Celine scoffed, a harsh laugh escaping her. "Cruel? So now you remember we're family, huh? Where was that sentiment when you stole my identity? Why is it that you're allowed to hurt me, but I'm not allowed to stand up for myself?"

Sonia stumbled forward. "Celine, please, I'm your grandmother—"

"Enough! I don't need a grandmother like you. Go dote on Carly instead!"

Celine's eyes swept over the entire Tate family, cold and unwavering.

"I've made myself clear—whoever poisoned my father, you know exactly what you did. Either turn yourselves in and spend the rest of your lives repenting behind bars or prepare for a war. Because I'll never stop coming for you. This is a fight to the death!"

Her words hit like a bolt of lightning, sending a surge of fear through the Tate family.

Just then, Perry stepped forward. "Celine, you're pregnant. You shouldn't let your emotions get the best of you. Come, let's go rest."

Celine gave a nod. "Alright."

Without another word, she turned and followed Perry, leaving the scene behind.

As Carly was hauled away, a sharp, agonizing pain tore through her chest. A wave of sheer panic crashed over her, the suffocating fear of death tightening its grip. She knew Adam no longer cared if she lived or died.

Desperation filled her eyes as she turned to Lucy and Hayden, her voice trembling. "Mom, Dad, please save me! My heart really hurts. I don't want to die! Please help me!"

Before she could say another word, a firm hand covered her mouth. The bodyguards tightened their grip, dragging her forward as she stumbled. She was too helpless to resist.

Lucy and Hayden rushed forward in desperation, but Adam's men swiftly blocked their way. Trapped, they could only watch in horror as Carly was dragged away.

"Carly! Carly!"

Adam's piercing gaze turned to the remaining members of the Tate family. "And as for the rest of you—"

Sonia rushed forward. "Mr. Alvarez! Please, we had nothing to do with Carly's lies! Don't punish us for her mistakes! We don't want to suffer because of her!"
