Nigel was going to announce to the world that his daughter had returned.
Carly was overjoyed. It felt unreal. Was she dreaming? This was amazing!
She nodded eagerly. "Okay, Dad. I want to go back to the Capitol with you. I want to go home!"
At that moment, Sonia spoke up. "Mr. Hampton, are you taking Carly back so soon? She's been with the Tate family all these years, and I've treated her like the apple of my eye. She's so precious to me. Isn't that right, Carly?"
Sonia glanced at Carly. Now, she didn't dare show any attitude toward her. Instead, her gaze was full of flattery.
Carly loved it.
Before, she had to go out of her way to please Sonia. Now, the roles had reversed. Sonia had to please her instead.
Of course, Carly knew exactly what Sonia meant.
The Tate family had raised her all these years. Now, they wanted compensation from Nigel.
Carly was willing to throw them a bone. After all, she was a billionaire heiress now.
She looked at Nigel. "Dad, the Tate family took care of me all these years. They're considered family to me."
Sonia nodded eagerly. "That's right, Mr. Hampton. Carly is outstanding, and, of course, we invested a lot of effort into raising her."
Nigel looked at Sonia. "Mrs. Tate Senior, you can just tell me what you want."
Sonia was thrilled. "Mr. Hampton, you've seen it yourself. Celine has a grudge against the Tate family, and she wants to destroy us. I only ask one thing—as long as you're around, no one can touch the Tate family!"
Nigel's mind flashed with an image of Celine's delicate, striking face. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Alright."
The entire Tate family was ecstatic. With just one sentence from Nigel, it was like they had received an imperial decree.
From now on, Celine wouldn't be able to lay a finger on the Tate family.

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!...
