"When are you planning to leave for the Capitol?" Perry asked.
"I haven't decided yet," Celine replied.
Perry took out a gold-embossed invitation. "Don't wait, Celine. Leave tomorrow. The Capitol is about to host an Apex Gala, inviting the top 100 individuals from the Summit Index. Everyone attending is a powerful figure in high society. This is your invitation."
Celine took the invitation and opened it. Inside, her alias—Linny—was elegantly printed.
"The world's most influential pharmaceutical conglomerate, Alpite Pharma, will have its mysterious boss, Linny, attending this Apex Gala. The news has already spread, and your presence will be the event's highlight. This is the perfect opportunity for you to return to the Capitol."
Linny was Celine's alias, known only to a select few. She was the true power behind Alpite Pharma, the most prestigious medical corporation in the world.
Celine didn't refuse the invitation but hesitated, glancing at Bella, who was happily drawing with her nanny.
"But if I go to the Capitol, what about Bella? She's never been apart from me. She's really clingy," Celine said, clearly worried.
Perry raised an eyebrow. "Celine, aren't you bringing Bella with you?"
Celine shook her head. "No."
"Why not? Are you afraid of Bella meeting her father?"
Celine looked into the distance. "Adam and I are over. He's going to marry Carly, the heiress of the richest family. I don't want Bella and Adam to meet.
"I know it's unfair to Bella—she has the right to know who her father is. But call me selfish. I don't want Bella to be caught between the Alvarez and Hampton families. I just want my daughter to be happy and safe."
Perry nodded. He had always respected Celine's decisions.
Bella was Celine's daughter, and Celine had fought to bring her into this world. She had every right to decide what was best for her.
"Then go to the Capitol without worry. I'll take care of Bella."
"You? Take care of Bella?" Celine asked in mock surprise.
"What, you don't trust me?"
Perry turned toward Bella. "Bella, come here."
Bella immediately jumped up, her little hands and feet moving quickly as she ran straight into Perry's arms.

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!...
