THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 232

The reason the international community was offering a hundred million dollars to coax Dr. Oracle out of retirement was simple: Lawler himself wasn’t truly a master of the Golden Needle Channel Activation technique.

When this was mentioned, disappointment clouded the faces of The Richards Family.

Stephanie couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Golden Needle Channel Activation really that difficult? Even Professor Prescott can’t do it?”

Kelvin nodded. “The Golden Needle Channel Activation isn’t just regular medicine—it demands a mastery of both advanced medical skills and the ancient balance of elements. That’s why, as far as anyone knows, only Dr. Oracle can wield it.”

Jade chimed in. “Still, Professor Prescott is Dr. Oracle’s direct protégé. We should at least have him take a look.”

Warren agreed, “Your sister-in-law’s right. With Mom’s condition being so critical, it doesn’t matter if Professor Prescott can perform the Golden Needle Channel Activation or not. As Dr. Oracle’s top student, he’s our best shot. Maybe he’ll have a solution we haven’t considered.”

Warren turned to Lyle. “Lyle, I’ll leave it to you to get in touch with Professor Prescott.”

“Understood, Warren.”

At the same time—

Caitlin was taking photos of Celeste.

Suddenly, Caitlin felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. Her phone slipped from her hand and clattered onto the ground.

Celeste, who’d just been striking a pose, hurried over. “Catie, are you alright?”

Caitlin pressed her fingers to her temple. “I’m not sure. I just feel unsettled, like something big is about to happen.”

It was an odd sensation—a kind of foreboding she’d never experienced before.

Celeste abandoned the photo shoot and stooped to pick up the phone. “Maybe it’s just the adjustment to Neon Spire. You only just arrived, after all. Let’s go sit over there for a bit.”

“Alright.” Caitlin nodded.

The wind off the harbor was strong that afternoon.

After a while, Celeste asked, “Feeling any better now, Catie?”
