Nigel looked at Carly, unable to hide his disappointment. "Carly, shouldn't you be punished? How could you do something like this?"
He had always known that Carly was a little spoiled and scheming, but when Celine told him she had hired someone to commit a kidnapping, he refused to believe it. He couldn't accept that his own daughter could be so fundamentally cruel.
Nigel was the head of a prominent family, and Fiona came from a prestigious lineage. They were both from powerful backgrounds, so how could they have a daughter like Carly?
His disappointment ran deep.
However, Carly didn't seem to realize the gravity of her actions. Feeling wronged, she argued, "Dad, how could you strike me in front of others? This will just make Celine laugh at me! I'm your daughter, yet you always side with outsiders!"
With that, Carly turned to storm off.
The bodyguards blocked her way, and Celine's voice came from behind her. "Ms. Hampton, did I say you could leave?"
Adam coldly added, "Carly, you kidnapped Bella and my mom, and now we have all the proof. Do you really think you can walk away from this?"
Carly turned to look at Celine and Adam, realizing that neither of them intended to let her go.
Then, her gaze shifted to Grace. The warmth in Grace's eyes had disappeared, leaving only coldness. It was clear that Grace's goodwill toward her was gone.
Now, Carly's only hope was Nigel.
She looked at him desperately. "Dad, I'm your only daughter. You wouldn't just let them take me away, would you?"
Nigel didn't respond.
Carly pleaded again, "Please, Dad, you have to protect me! My life can't be ruined!"
Nigel finally spoke. "I have to take Carly home."

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...
