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 readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
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....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
