The Divorce Prescription

Adam nodded. Yes, he would not waver again.

He had to save Carly at all costs.

Adam looked at Celine. "Celine, just treat Carly's heart condition. I don't want to

force you."

Celine's heart sank completely. Adam had truly chosen to stand with Carly and the people who killed her father.

She let out a cold laugh. "Mr. Alvarez, if you want to force me, you should consider if you have what it takes!"

Sonia scoffed. "Celine, that's quite arrogant of you to say that. Even if you're the legendary Dr. C, you can't stand against a tycoon like Mr. Alvarez. With just a flick of his fingers, he can crush you like nothing!"

Lucy added, "Celine, we have already given you a way out. Just take it. There's no benefit in making things ugly for yourself. I'm saying this for your own good."

Carly chimed in, "Celine, if you won't think of yourself, at least think of Perry. You wouldn't want him to close his life because of you, would you?"

Celine shot Carly an icy glare. "I'll find a way to deal with Perry's situation myself. You should worry about yourselves instead. I won't let my father's death go unanswered. Every one of you who had a hand in it—I'll make sure you rot in prison!"

Sonia's expression darkened. "You!"

Without giving them another chance to speak, Celine turned and walked away.

Adam's eyes followed her departing figure and quickly chased after her.

After some distance away from the group, Adam grabbed onto Celine's arm, holding her back.

"Celine, we need to talk."

Celine stopped but immediately pulled her arm away, looking at him with a cold smile. "Mr. Alvarez, I don't think we have anything to talk about anymore."

Adam pressed his lips together. "Celine, I can't turn my back on Carly. Please don't put me in a difficult position."

Celine retorted, "I should really applaud you for your grand love story. But what if I want to make things difficult for you?"

Adam fell silent for a few seconds before replying in a low voice, "Celine, Perry is only the beginning. If you force my hand, everyone around you will suffer."noveldrama

So, he was willing to use the people around her as leverage for Carly?

Celine raised her hand and struck Adam across the face.

His head tilted slightly from the force of the blow.

Celine looked at him with abject disappointment. "Adam, I truly misjudged you."

Just then, Carly ran over. "Adam, are you okay?"

She looked at Celine in shock and outrage. "Celine, have you lost your mind?

How dare you hit Adam! You must have a death wish!"

Celine shot her a cold glance before turning to leave.

"Celine, stop struggling. It's useless," Carly's voice rang out behind her. "I heard you have a surgery scheduled at Alpite Pharma. With just one word from Adam, that surgery will be canceled immediately. If he's able to boost you to the top, he could just as easily drag you down!

Celine turned to look at Carly. "If you have that much power, then go ahead and try. Let's see if I'm afraid."

"You-"

Without letting her finish, Celine turned and walked away.

She had only taken a few steps

when a sharp pain suddenly hit her lower abdomen. A wave of

discomfort spread through her stomach.

Adam immediately noticed her unusual expression and took a step forward. "Celine, what's wrong?"

Her hand instinctively went to her belly, and a thin layer of cold sweat formed on her forehead.

"Are you in pain? Is it your stomach? I'll take you to the hospital right now!" Adam reached out and was ready to send her there.

"You're not going!"

Carly rushed over and clung to Adam's arm, stopping him.

"Adam, you're my boyfriend now. Celine is our enemy. Even if she's in pain, even if she dies right here you're not allowed to take her to the hospital!"
