Kaiya Murray, the assistant beside Celine, said, "Linny, we should head into the venue now."
Celine glanced at Adam downstairs, then withdrew her gaze and turned around. "Let's go."
She and Kaiya were about to leave when she suddenly paused. Two people had appeared in front of her. It was Carly and Melody.
Adam hadn't been able to find Celine, but Carly and Melody had.
Their expressions were filled with shock. "Celine?"
After seeing old acquaintances again, Celine smiled slightly. "Carly, Melody, long time no see."
Carly had never expected that Celine, who had disappeared for three whole years, would suddenly show up in the Capitol—and at the Apex Gala, no less. She was stunned. "Celine, why are you here?"
Celine arched her elegant eyebrow and countered, "Why? Am I not allowed to be here?"
"Celine, you actually came to the Capitol? You shouldn't have. Carly is the daughter of the richest family now. This is her territory."
Carly looked at Celine arrogantly. "Celine, why didn't you tell me you were coming to the Capitol? I could have played host and entertained you properly."
Celine replied indifferently, "There's no need to be so hospitable. I'm here to attend the Apex Gala."
"What? You're attending the Apex Gala? Celine, what status do you have to attend the Apex Gala? As the nation-renowned genius Dr. C?" Carly asked in surprise.
Melody chimed in disdainfully, "Celine, do you know what kind of people are invited to this Apex Gala? They're all financial tycoons on the Billionaires List, the elite of the elite. Even if you're Dr. C, your wealth isn't at that level."
At that moment, Carly took out her invitation. "Celine, do you see this? It's my invitation. My father isn't coming, so I'm attending on his behalf. Of course, Adam is coming, too."
"Celine, you should leave now. You're not qualified to be here!"
Celine remained passive in Adam's arms, once again surrounded by his clean and refreshingly masculine scent. It felt so familiar, yet so distant.
She reached out and pushed him away. "Mr. Alvarez, I don't think our relationship is close enough for hugs upon meeting."
Adam froze at the cold and distant expression in Celine's eyes.
Carly quickly spoke up. "Adam, Celine has probably been with Perry all these years. Who knows, maybe they're already married."
Melody added, "That's right, Adam. Don't let Celine fool you again. She said she came to the Capitol to attend the Apex Gala."
Adam looked at Celine. "You're here for the Apex Gala?"
Celine nodded. "Yes."

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....
