Celine turned to Nigel. "Why did Lucy suddenly die? Why did she suddenly ram her head against the wall?"
Nigel's expression darkened. "I don't know."
Celine looked at Lucy's lifeless body and felt a wave of sorrow.
Even though Lucy had never shown her love and had spent her life trying to hurt her, Celine had never wished for her death.
Her pale lashes fluttered as her eyes welled up, and soon, large teardrops fell from her cheeks.
Just then, a voice came from outside. "Sir, something's wrong!"
Nigel looked at Eren. "What happened?"
"Sir, Ms. Hampton is missing."
What? Carly was missing?
Nigel immediately ran out and went straight to Carly's room.
It was empty. There was no trace of her.
"Carly! Carly!" Nigel called out, then turned to Eren. "When did she go missing?"
"Sir, the maid went to bring Ms. Hampton some soup but found the room empty. No one saw her leave. She must have been gone for a while."
Nigel immediately ordered, "Send people to look for her! Find her even if you have to turn Mercity upside down!"
Eren nodded. "Understood."
As Nigel was about to leave, Celine walked up to him.
"Mr. Hampton, I need to talk to you."
"What is it, Celine?"
"Mr. Hampton, don't you think it's strange? First, Hayden dies, then Lucy suddenly kills herself, and now, Carly disappeared."
Nigel's expression darkened. "Celine, I need to find Carly first. We'll talk later."
With that, he rushed off.
Celine furrowed her brows.
Adam approached and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Celine, how did Carly suddenly vanish? Where would she go?"
Nigel stopped in his tracks. "Alright, Carly. I won't come closer. Just come to me, okay?"
With tears in her eyes, Carly choked out, "Dad, you don't love me, do you?"
Nigel immediately answered, "Carly, of course I love you. Why would you think that?"
"Then why don't I feel it? Why do I feel like you love Celine more than me?"
"I…"
"Dad, you know I've always been against Celine. You knew I loved Adam, but you still got close to her! You're my father, yet you don't give me your favor. You stand by my enemy instead!"
Nigel was at a loss for words. Because deep down, he knew she was right.
He did favor Celine. He admired her intelligence, composure, and integrity.
And he knew that Celine and Carly were rivals, both in life and in love.
Now that Carly had called him out, guilt weighed on him.
"Carly, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that…"

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....
