Carly quickly rushed over and clung to Adam's arm possessively. "Adam," she called sweetly.
Amused by Carly's defensive stance, Celine couldn't help but smile faintly, finding the situation rather entertaining.
Just then, James walked over. "Tracy, you're here? Come, let me introduce you. This is Dr. C—my mentor. By seniority, you should respectfully address her as Dr. C as well."
Tracy's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper.
Celine smiled. "James, I've long heard that Tracy is your prized mentee."
With that, she gracefully took a seat. "By seniority, Tracy is my mentee's mentee, which makes her my grand-mentee. In that case, she should formally show her respect."
Celine sat in the center of the room, looking at Tracy with a faint smile.
Tracy felt as though her most prized achievement—her prestigious education—had just been crushed under the weight of Celine's status.
"Alright, prepare the tea," James instructed.
Soon, a maid brought over a tray with tea.
James turned to Tracy, saying, "Tracy, go ahead and present the tea to Dr. C as a sign of respect—and be sure to address her properly."
Tracy stood frozen.
Celine smirked. "Tracy, why aren't you coming over?"
Laughter rippled through the crowd. "Tracy, it's a blessing to have Dr. C as your grand-mentor. Shouldn't you be showing your respect?"
Sonia and Lucy stood behind Tracy, looking utterly helpless.
With no way out, Tracy reluctantly picked up the teacup and walked over to Celine. "Dr. C, please have some tea," she said, her voice trembling.
She was on the verge of tears.
As Celine recalled Tracy's once-arrogant and condescending demeanor, she didn't reach out to accept the cup. Instead, she smiled lazily. "Is this how you show respect? When you were fooled by that fake Dr. C, I tried to warn you, but you wouldn't listen. Shouldn't you kneel while serving me tea?"

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!...
