The Divorce Prescription

Carly was in disbelief. She never expected Celine to be this bold to show up at the Hampton residence.

Carly said, "Celine, our relationship isn't that good that you can just drop by my house as a guest. My family doesn't welcome you. Please leave immediately!"

Carly already ordered her out.

Celine arched her willow-shaped eyebrows. Now that she had come to the Hampton family, she wasn't leaving.

Celine looked at Nigel. "Ms. Hampton, I came to the Hampton residence as a guest with Mr. Hampton's permission. Mr. Hampton, you wouldn't go back on your word and throw me out, would you?"

Celine trusted Nigel's character. A man like him would never do something as dishonorable as kicking her out.

Sure enough, Nigel looked at Carly and said, "Carly, this is Celine's first time in the Capitol. Let her stay as a guest. I was the one who brought her here from the airport."

Carly exclaimed, "Dad!"

Nigel said, "Someone, bring over some tea!"

Nigel walked into the living room, making it clear that his decision was final.

Carly glared at Celine angrily. "Celine, you're really shameless, showing up at my house as a guest."

Celine stepped up to Carly. "Ms. Hampton, you're the richest man's daughter now. I hear you've been making waves in the Capitol these past few years. I just wanted to see it for myself."

Carly sneered. "I doubt that's the real reason you came to the Hampton residence."

Celine countered, "Then, what do you think I came here for?"

Carly said nothing.

Celine lowered her voice. "Ms. Hampton, you should know that my daughter, Bella, and Mrs. Alvarez were kidnapped, right?"

Carly replied, "So what if I know, and so what if I don't? Either way, I wasn't the one who did it. Celine, are you suspecting me?

"Let me tell you something. If you want to make accusations, you better have proof. If you dare to talk nonsense, I'll have my lawyer send you a letter right now!"

A cold glint flashed in Celine's clear, almond-shaped eyes. "I didn't say anything, Ms. Hampton. Why are you getting so worked up?"

Carly let out a cold huff, turned, and walked away. "Dad, I'm going to my room." Nigel nodded. "Alright."

Celine walked over and sat down on

looked at her and asked, "Ms. Tate,

tell me, why did you follow me to the

Hampton residence?"

Celine said, "Mr. Hampton, my daughter and Mrs. Alvarez were kidnapped."

Nigel frowned. "Who took them?"

She replied, "Mr. Hampton, the Hampton and the Alvarez families have been close for generations: Just for the sake of that relationship, you'd step in to save Mrs. Alvarez, wouldn't you?"

He nodded. "That's right. So?"

"So, I suspect that this was all done by your daughter, Carly!"

"Impossible. Carly would never kidnap Grace."

Of course, Carly wouldn't kidnap Grace because Grace was an accident.

Celine smirked. "How about this, Mr. Hampton? You don't have to do anything. Just do me this one favor."

"What is it?"noveldrama

"Don't let Carly leave. Keep her here."

Nigel was silent for a moment.

Celine continued, "Mr. Hampton, this is actually the only way to prove your daughter's innocence. I'm staying right here in the Hampton residence. If your daughter truly had nothing to do with this, I will personally apologize to her. How about that?"

Upon seeing the clarity, intelligence, and sincerity in her eyes, he nodded. "Alright.

We'll do as you say."
