The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 686

Adam led Celine outside, and Celine pulled her hand out of his palm. "Mr. Alvarez, you should go back. I'm fine at the Hampton residence. I'm planning to stay for a few days."

Adam looked at her. "You're staying at the Hampton residence? You have no blood ties or relationship with Mr. Hampton. Why would you stay here?"

He had already noticed that Nigel treated her differently. For example, no one else was allowed into Nigel's study, yet Celine had appeared inside. It seemed like Nigel was unusually indulgent toward her.

Celine said, "Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Hampton is a good person. You don't need to doubt his character."

"He's a good person? Celine, I'm starting to think you're biased!"

She fell silent for a moment.

She herself didn't know why she had such a good impression of Nigel. It was a kind of fondness that felt like it came from a familial bond, almost like blood ties.

Celine said, "Mr. Alvarez, I came here to save Bella and Mrs. Alvarez."

"How do you plan to save them?"

"Carly has already been put under house arrest. I don't think she'll last long before she slips up!"

Adam frowned. "Celine, why did you act alone? You didn't even tell me before coming to the Hampton residence."

Celine's clear, bright eyes landed on his handsome face. "Mr. Alvarez, you and Carly are engaged, after all. I don't want Bella or myself to get caught up in the arranged marriage between the Alvarez and the Hampton families. Do you know what I mean?"

Of course, he understood. "Celine, I will never marry Carly. I will call off the engagement once I rescue Bella and my mother. It was just a childhood betrothal arranged by our families. I won't marry the Hampton family's heiress!"

She questioned, "You really won't marry the Hampton family's heiress?"

Adam immediately raised his hand in oath. "I swear right now, if I ever marry the Hampton family's heiress, then I—"

Celine quickly grabbed his hand and cut him off. "Mr. Alvarez, don't be so absolute with your words. What if one day you do want to marry the Hampton family heiress?"

No one would notice if she jumped down from the second floor and snuck out.

At this point, Carly had no choice but to take the risk. She had to meet with her men.

More importantly, she had decided that Bella and Grace wouldn't be left alive.

If she let them go, they would always remain a major threat. It was better to eliminate them early.

Carly tied her bedsheets together into a makeshift rope and tossed it out the window. Then, she carefully climbed down.

She held her breath the entire time, afraid of alerting her father, Celine, or the black-clad bodyguards.

Soon, she landed safely on the ground.

She had succeeded.
