Celine's heart skipped a beat when she heard Adam was taking Carly home. Did this mean they would be spending the night together?
Carly smiled brightly. "Celine, take your time with Mr. McCormick. Adam and I will be heading back now."
She turned to Adam. "Adam, let's go."
Adam's gaze lingered on Celine for a moment. Without a word, he turned and walked away with Carly.
Once they were out of sight, Owen spoke up, "Mr. Alvarez really has poor taste. I don't understand why he likes Carly."
Celine offered a faint smile, staying quiet. Matters of the heart were never simple. Carly might be foolish, but Adam still loved her—proof enough of his sincerity.
"Just wait until Carly discovers who you truly are—the founder of Alpite Pharma, the country's largest publicly traded medical company. I'm sure she'll be utterly speechless."
Celine could already picture the stunned expression on Carly's face when that moment came.
"Mr. McCormick, let's leave it at that for now. I need to keep my identity under wraps for the time being."
"Understood."
"I'm heading back now."
"Take care."
…
Celine had just returned to Jupiter Heights when she crossed paths with Adam and Carly once more. What a small world.
Carly couldn't resist taking a jab. "Celine, are you spending the night all alone?"
Celine remained silent.
"Well, you should send your best wishes to Adam and me. We're in for a wonderful night together," Carly added, her tone deliberately provocative.
But Celine didn't take the bait. She simply chuckled and replied, "Funny, I spent last night at Mr. Alvarez's place too."
Carly's face twisted in fury. Without warning, she lunged at Celine, raising her hand to slap her. "Celine, how dare you talk to Adam like that? Let's see if you can still be smug after this!"
But before her palm could make contact, her wrist was caught mid-air.
Adam had grabbed Carly's hand, stopping her in her tracks.
Carly froze, staring at him in disbelief. "Adam, she just humiliated you! Why are you protecting her? I need to put her in her place!"
Adam's gaze was unreadable, his eyes dark like ink, hiding any trace of emotion.
He tightened his grip on Carly's wrist and said, "Let it go, Carly. There's no need to hurt yourself over this."
Carly flashed a bright, triumphant smile and turned to Celine. "Did you hear that, Celine? Adam's worried I'll hurt my hand."
Celine cast Adam a fleeting, indifferent glance before turning back to Carly, a smirk curling at her lips. "Whether Mr. Alvarez actually cares about your hand, I can't say… but as a woman, you're utterly pathetic."
Carly's expression stiffened. "What's that supposed to mean?"

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
My dad please come novel it’s the same book with all the chapters but different characters instead of Celine her name is Wendy...
I am not happy with all of this. Why is carly moving so freely with ann. This is wrong...
You'll piss again with the next chapters. Its all about hailey, declan and erwan....
I found a link with the same story but different character name with 1k+ chapters ☺️...
this is getting absurd and funnier...so are we gonna some sci-fi alien or time travelling next...author getting dummier... I just want to point out that every single char forgets what the atrocious things carly did and was never punished they practically ignore every deed she'd done and she goes unscathed and starts doing some witchcraft sh*t...
It's been over a year since i started reading this book. Now...i guess this will take more years before it ends...hahhah enemel...
Seriously???? I really wanted to laugh. This is ridiculous! Unbelievable. Medicine to witchcraft????🤣 You're just dragging it. Reveal who the real daughter of the Hampton!!!!...
Can't you just reveal the truth of Celine heritage ??...
Not again..is there any fast forward button?...
this is so annoying. the happy moments of celine and adam are way too shorter than their problems. this is the kind of story that will make the readers lose their interest. to the author, you are so disappointing. i hope you can give the story the justice it deserves....
