The worker was taken aback, and his expression shifted drastically. "Are you talking about Mr. Ewan Shaw?"
The bodyguard replied, "That's right. Mr. Shaw sent us to take your pathetic life. You won't live to see the sunrise."
The worker panicked. "You must be mistaken! Why would Mr. Shaw want me dead? Call him! I don't believe he'd try to kill me!"
"Cut the crap!" the bodyguard snapped.
"I'm telling the truth! Just call him! Mr. Shaw and I have a deal. Has he forgotten about it?" the worker tried to explain himself.
The bodyguard coldly laughed. "Mr. Shaw hasn't forgotten. He said you know too much, and the dead don't talk. He also said you're worth more dead than alive."
The worker's eyes widened. "What does Mr. Shaw mean by that?"
The bodyguard smirked. "Don't you get it yet? Once you're dead, all the public scrutiny will fall on Lambert Group, crushing them once and for all. Mr. Shaw said your life wasn't worth much anyway, so you're just a pawn to take down Lambert Group. You'll die for a good cause."
At the bodyguard's signal, two others stepped forward with a rope. Without hesitation, they looped it around the worker's neck and began to tighten it.
The worker was sharp and initially had doubts about the people Ewan sent. He thought Ewan wouldn't harm him.
But now, with the rope tightening around his neck, the suffocating sensation hit him instantly, and panic surged through him."
He clawed at the rope desperately. "Let me go! Ewan, why are you doing this to me? We had a deal! You told me to break my leg at the construction site and pin it on Lambert Group, then get my sons involved to escalate things.
"I've followed your orders. You wanted Lambert Group to get caught up in all this negative publicity, and I've done my part. Why do you still want to kill me? Ewan, you're going to regret this!"
The bodyguards exchanged a look, then loosened their grip.

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....
