Carly was frantic. "I'm not standing you up! My dad came home, and something unexpected happened here."
"Ms. Hampton, how do we know you’re telling the truth? You promised to give us more money, but you haven't increased the amount, and you haven't shown up either. What's the meaning of this?"
Carly said, "I will give you more money, just not right now. Alright, stop making a fuss. It's already dark. My dad should be asleep. I'll head over now."
"Alright, Ms. Hampton. Let's hope you actually show up this time."
"How's the old lady and the kid?"
"They're fine. Without your orders, we wouldn't dare lay a hand on them."
Carly was actually furious. If these people hadn't brought Grace into the picture, none of this trouble would've happened. She could've easily dealt with Bella.
She hung up the phone, got up, and left her room.
The massive estate was quiet. Everyone had gone to bed. Carly carefully made her way downstairs, silently opened the front door, and tried to slip out.
But as soon as she pulled the door open, a group of black-clad bodyguards was waiting outside.
"Ms. Hampton!"
Carly jumped in shock. "What are you all doing here?"
"Ms. Hampton, we're guarding the door. You're not allowed to leave."
She was stunned. "Why can't I go out?"
If she didn't leave, her men would start panicking. She had to go out tonight.
The bodyguard said, "Sorry, Ms. Hampton, but you have to stay inside the estate. You're not allowed to step out."
Carly snapped, "How dare you? Do you even know who I am? I'm the eldest daughter of the Hampton family, the heiress of the wealthiest man alive! If you defy me, I'll have my dad replace all of you and make sure you're severely punished!"
The bodyguard remained unfazed. "Sorry, Ms. Hampton. These are Mr. Hampton's orders. You are not to leave the house."

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...
