The Divorce Prescription

Grace sputtered, "Adam, you—!"

Carly had already expected this response from Adam, so she came prepared. "Adam, the Hampton family was also invited to the Apex Gala this time. My father won't be attending, so I'll be representing our family. Can I ride in your car?"

Adam's response was cold. "No."

She stiffened up at that.

Then, he turned and walked away without hesitation.

Carly was frustrated after being shut down so bluntly, but she quickly adjusted her emotions. "Mrs. Alvarez, since Adam won't take me, I'll have my driver take me instead."

Grace nodded. "Alright, Carly. You'll still be able to see Adam at the Apex Gala. Go and have fun."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, Carly arrived at the Apex Gala, with Melody tagging along.

Melody also moved to the Capitol three years ago. She had since broken up with Ewan, who had given her an astronomical sum for the breakup, and was now single again.

Melody was here with Carly to take advantage of the Apex Gala. With all the powerful figures in attendance, she figured she could easily find a wealthy man to latch onto

Melody clung to Carly's arm. "Carly, this Apex Gala is so grand!"

Carly smiled. "Yes, today I'll take you inside to see for yourself."

Just then, a Rolls-Royce business sedan sped into view. Adam stepped out of the car with Leo.

Carly beamed and said, "Adam, you're here."

Adam glanced at her. This woman was truly persistent. No matter where he went, she always seemed to show up.

Ignoring her completely, he strode toward the entrance.

At that moment, another business sedan pulled up. The rear door opened, and a stunningly elegant figure stepped out.

Celine had arrived.

Adam, as if he had sensed something, turned his head and saw her.

His pupils contracted sharply. "Celine?"

Celine? Where?

Carly and Melody turned around as well.

Celine had just stepped out of the car when several event staff members immediately surrounded her They greeted her warmly

MS

Linny, please come with us."

The staff led Celine away, and all Adam saw was her retreating figure before she disappeared from view.

Carly and Melody hadn't seen anything.

Carly frowned. "Celine? Where is she?"

Melody looked around in confusion. "I didn't see her. There's no Celine here, Adam. You must be mistaken!"

Adam ignored them and ran forward, staring in the direction where Celine had vanished.

No, he wasn't mistaken. That was definitely Celine.

Celine, who had been missing for three years, was back.noveldrama

Without another word, he took off running.

"Hey, Adam!" Carly stomped her foot angrily.

Adam chased after Celine, but when he reached the spot where she had been, the area was empty. Celine's delicate and enchanting figure had already disappeared into the wast crowd.

Adam looked around frantically. "Celine? Celine!"

On the second floor, Celine had stopped in her tracks. She had heard Adam's

"Adam, it's been a long time," she murmured.
