Nigel looked at her and said, "I heard a bit about you, Ms. Tate. Word is you just attended the Capitol's Apex Gala as Linny."
Celine smiled and admitted it openly. "That's me."
Nigel had always admired her. A woman so young and already able to hold her ground in the business world was truly a rare gem.
"Ms. Tate, may I ask—what brings you to me today?"
Celine smiled. "Mr. Hampton, I just arrived in the Capitol. I'd like to pay a visit to your estate."
She wanted to go to the Hampton residence with him.
Nigel paused, then chuckled. "You want to visit my home?"
"That's right. I've heard the Hampton residence is quite extravagant. I'd love to see it for myself."
Nigel wasn't sure what she was really up to, but he nodded. "Of course. You're welcome to come home with me."
Celine hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. "Thank you, Mr. Hampton."
…
Meanwhile, back at the Hampton residence, Carly was pacing around restlessly.
Last night, she had tried to trap Celine at the private winery, but the plan failed and she barely escaped being caught.
She'd been on edge the whole night and hadn't slept a wink.
This morning, she got up early because she knew her father was returning from overseas.
When he wasn't around, she could act out however she pleased. After all, she held the title of the wealthiest heiress. But now that he was back, she had to tread carefully.
Carly was anxious, pacing in circles as she waited in the living room.
Just then, the phone rang. She glanced at the screen and realized it was from her underlings.
She answered the call.
"I told you not to call me last night, didn't I? Don't do anything unless I contact you first. If I don't reach out, you don't reach out to me!"
The main doors of the villa opened. Nigel entered with his assistant and Eren trailing behind.
Carly ran forward excitedly. "Dad, you're back! You've been away for so long. I missed you so much!"
Nigel smiled and patted her on the head. "I missed you too."
Carly reached out to take his arm.
Just then, a clear voice rang out, "Hello, Ms. Hampton."
Carly froze. She looked up and saw Celine standing right behind Nigel.
Celine had come to the Hampton residence!
Carly's expression darkened immediately, and she asked in disbelief, "Celine? What are you doing here? This is my home! What do you want?"
Celine smiled. "Why else? I came to see you, of course."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Did they forget she kidnapped his mum……please reveal Celine’s identity! Have had enough of Carly...
This is good news finally Adam knew the truth,Im waiting for the nxt chapters when Nigel & Fiona will also discover Celine is their bio daughter and whats gonna happen to Carly & Anne...
These characters repeat same thing and ask the dumbest questions!!! Wish the writer can read some feedback...
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
