The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 683

Carly was frantic. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came home, and something unexpected happened here."

"Ms. Hampton, how do we know you’re telling the truth? You promised to give us more money, but you haven't increased the amount, and you haven't shown up either. What's the meaning of this?"

Carly said, "I will give you more money, just not right now. Alright, stop making a fuss. It's already dark. My dad should be asleep. I'll head over now."

"Alright, Ms. Hampton. Let's hope you actually show up this time."

"How's the old lady and the kid?"

"They're fine. Without your orders, we wouldn't dare lay a hand on them."

Carly was actually furious. If these people hadn't brought Grace into the picture, none of this trouble would've happened. She could've easily dealt with Bella.

She hung up the phone, got up, and left her room.

The massive estate was quiet. Everyone had gone to bed. Carly carefully made her way downstairs, silently opened the front door, and tried to slip out.

But as soon as she pulled the door open, a group of black-clad bodyguards was waiting outside.

"Ms. Hampton!"

Carly jumped in shock. "What are you all doing here?"

"Ms. Hampton, we're guarding the door. You're not allowed to leave."

She was stunned. "Why can't I go out?"

If she didn't leave, her men would start panicking. She had to go out tonight.

The bodyguard said, "Sorry, Ms. Hampton, but you have to stay inside the estate. You're not allowed to step out."

Carly snapped, "How dare you? Do you even know who I am? I'm the eldest daughter of the Hampton family, the heiress of the wealthiest man alive! If you defy me, I'll have my dad replace all of you and make sure you're severely punished!"

The bodyguard remained unfazed. "Sorry, Ms. Hampton. These are Mr. Hampton's orders. You are not to leave the house."

Carly was livid. How was it that even now, despite being the daughter of the richest man alive, Nigel still sided with Celine? Whatever Celine said, Nigel agreed to it without hesitation.

While looking at them standing together like that, Carly was so angry she could cough up blood.

She had been thriving for the past three years. But the moment Celine showed up, her good days came to an abrupt end.

"Dad! How can you stand by Celine, an outsider, and go against me? I'm your biological daughter!"

Nigel looked at her. "Carly, where exactly are you trying to go so late at night? If you tell me, I'll go with you."

She froze.

Celine smiled. "Ms. Hampton, Mr. Hampton really cares about you. He's worried that it may be dangerous for a young woman to go out alone at this hour. Hurry up and tell him where you're going so he can accompany you.

"Actually, I'm really curious./ Where are you going in such a hurry? Who's waiting for you out there?"

Carly fell silent. She was fuming at Celine's sweet but sharp words.
