Chapter 104
Lucy’s mind buzzed, her thoughts freezing for a moment. She suddenly recalled that when Larry escaped, she had indeed taken him in. Shocked, she turned to Celine. “Was it you?”
It was Celine who orchestrated Larry’s release through Leo. She had anticipated that Larry would run straight to the Tate family.
Celine met Lucy’s gaze with an innocent expression and a faint smile curling her lips. “I don’t understand what you’re accusing me of, Mom. You don’t owe me an explanation. Save it for the authorities.”
“How dare you!” Lucy’s voice cracked.
From the distance, Larty, how retrained by the police, let out a desperate cry. “I don’t want to go to jail! Mrs. Tate, save me! Please, save me!”
The crowd’s eyes shifted sharply to Lucy. The whispers started, spreading like wildfire. Her reputation as a good mother was completely ruined.
Lucy’s expression changed as she panicked. “Shut up! Make him stop!”
The reporters started discussing among themselves. “Didn’t that man go to prison ten years ago for molesting a child? Are we supposed to believe she didn’t know?
“And she still associate herself with someone who harmed her own daughter? What kind of mother does that?”
“Didn’t you hear? Mrs. Tate’s the ultimate pick–me. First for Hayden, now for Carly.”
The phrase “ultimate pick–me” hit Lucy like a slap to the face. She didn’t like that nickname and was flushed with anger.
“No, it’s not like that! That’s not true!” She wanted to defend herself, but the two officers standing on either side of her gripped her arms firmly and escorted her away.
Carly stayed frozen in place. She panicked, and her face went blank.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
