Grace sputtered, "Adam, you—!"
Carly had already expected this response from Adam, so she came prepared. "Adam, the Hampton family was also invited to the Apex Gala this time. My father won't be attending, so I'll be representing our family. Can I ride in your car?"
Adam's response was cold. "No."
She stiffened up at that.
Then, he turned and walked away without hesitation.
Carly was frustrated after being shut down so bluntly, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. "Mrs. Alvarez, since Adam won't take me, I'll have my driver take me instead."
Grace nodded. "Alright, Carly. You'll still be able to see Adam at the Apex Gala. Go and have fun."
"Okay."
Half an hour later, Carly arrived at the Apex Gala, with Melody tagging along.
Melody also moved to the Capitol three years ago. She had since broken up with Ewan, who had given her an astronomical sum for the breakup, and was now single again.
Melody was here with Carly to take advantage of the Apex Gala. With all the powerful figures in attendance, she figured she could easily find a wealthy man to latch onto
Melody clung to Carly's arm. "Carly, this Apex Gala is so grand!"
Carly smiled. "Yes, today I'll take you inside to see for yourself."
Just then, a Rolls-Royce business sedan sped into view. Adam stepped out of the car with Leo.
Carly beamed and said, "Adam, you're here."
Adam glanced at her. This woman was truly persistent. No matter where he went, she always seemed to show up.
Ignoring her completely, he strode toward the entrance.
At that moment, another business sedan pulled up. The rear door opened, and a stunningly elegant figure stepped out.
Celine had arrived.
Adam, as if he had sensed something, turned his head and saw her.

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!...
