Adam's answer stunned Larry. After a brief moment of thought, Larry hummed. "I'll let you decide, Mr. Alvarez."
Adam nodded. "How about a million?"
A million dollars? Larry's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected Adam to offer such a large sum.
"That's more than enough," Larry quickly said.
Adam pulled out a checkbook, wrote the amount, and handed it to Larry.
Larry counted the zeros carefully. It really was a million dollars. He grinned. "Thank you, Mr. Alvarez. I'll be leaving now."
With the check in hand, Larry left the estate gleefully.
…
When Adam returned to the bedroom, Celine was there, waiting for him.
She stared at him. "What did Larry say to you?"
Adam unbuttoned the first button of his black shirt, revealing his collarbone. He chuckled. "What do you think he said?"
Celine frowned. "I'm serious. Don't joke with me."
Adam took off his expensive watch and placed it on the nightstand. He cocked an eyebrow at her tense expression. "Nothing much. He just asked for money.”
Celine’s face fell “And did you give it to him?”
“I did” Adam nodded.
“How much?” Celine sucked in a breath.
“One million dollars.” Adam shrugged

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!...
