Carly cut Grace off. "So, you're saying I'm not as good as her!"
Grace hesitated. "I…"
Carly clenched both hands into fists at her sides. "That's what all of you think, isn't it? Celine is the nation-renowned genius Dr. C! Celine is Linny! She's so exceptional, while I'm a nobody. That's why all of you side with her. That's why you don't like me!"
Grace was startled by Carly's outburst. Right now, Carly's face was twisted with malice and jealousy. Her features were contorted into something terrifying.
Bella shrank behind Grace. "Grandma, I'm scared."
Grace hugged Bella and looked at Carly as if she were seeing a stranger. "Carly, how could you think that? We never disliked you just because you weren't as talented as Celine. But your jealousy has turned you bitter, and now you've committed a crime. You've really disappointed me."
Carly's bloodshot eyes locked onto Grace. "Mrs. Alvarez, I don't need you to like me anymore because you're not leaving here alive!"
Grace's face changed. "Carly, you would actually lay hands on me?"
Carly waved her hand. "Take them all down!"
The black-clad kidnappers immediately grabbed Grace and Bella.
Bella burst into frightened sobs. "Let go of me! Let go of Grandma! My mommy will be here soon! She's going to save us!"
Grace quickly reassured her, "Bella, don't be scared. Carly, think this through. I am Mrs. Alvarez. If you dare to harm me, my son will never let you go!"
Carly gave Grace a sinister look. "Mrs. Alvarez, don't worry. Adam will never find out about this. And once I marry him and become your daughter-in-law, I'll make sure to visit your grave every year on All Souls' Day."
Grace's voice trembled with fury. "Carly, you're absolutely insane!"
To Carly, there was no reason for Grace or Bella to exist anymore. She ordered, "Get rid of them. I don't want to see them again!"
"Yes, ma'am."
The kidnappers drew sharp knives and slowly closed in on Grace and Bella.

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...
