The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 41

Their eyes met.

Looking at Adam earnestly, Celine did her best to explain, "Adam, I didn't send that picture to Grandma. I won't admit to something I've never done."

Carly tugged at Adams shirt. "Can you believe it? She's still making excuses at this point! How shameless!"

Adam's gaze was piercingly cold. He ordered, "Celine Tate, apologize now!"

With reddened eyes, Celine stood straight and refuted, "Let me say it again. I will not apologize because I didn't do it."

There was a dark look in Adam's eyes. "If I'm not mistaken, your best friend Robin works in a small magazine company, right?"

A chill ran down Celine's spine, making her shudder. Did he want to make a move on the people around her?

Carly and Lucy watched Celine with a condescending expression.

Celine curled her fists.

Adam had crushed her pride by letting the two women trample over her. Tears of humiliation welled in Celine's eyes as she apologized slowly, "I'm sorry, Carly."

Carly smiled. I'll let it go this time. Don't do it again, okay? Lucy added, "Celine, did you think you'd win by having Mrs. Alvarez Senior on your side? Mr. Alvarez doesn't even love you.

Adam marched out, leaving the three women in the ward.

Celine stared at Carly. "Is this the lesson you were talking about, Carly?"

Carly smirked, stopping her act. I'm teaching you that as women, we should rely on men, not old hags.

Shocked, Celine blurted, Were you the one who sent the picture?

Carly simply smiled without bothering to deny it.

Celine breathed sharply. So you were the one behind all this?! You sent the picture to Mrs. Alvarez Senior on purpose to make her take action on you? That's a risky move! You're not too dumb, after all.

That's right, it was me who sent it. Did you think I'd suck up to Mrs. Alvarez Senior when she doesn't even like me? You're wrong, its her loss for not liking me. I will make her lose her beloved grandson.

Celine stared at Carly in disbelief. That's Adams grandmother!

Carly scored, So what? She's just an obstacle to my success.

You're crazy! Celine exclaimed. She turned around and walked toward the door.

Just then, Carly's voice rang out from behind. "This is just a small lesson for you. Remember, neither you nor Mrs. Alvarez Senior are a match for me."

Carly couldn't see Celine's expression because the latter had her back against them.

Celine slowly straightened her back.

The humiliation and shock were replaced with an icy smirk is that so? You're getting ahead of yourself, Carly, Celine thought.

When Celine stepped out of the ward, Adam's figure came into view. He stood outside the door with his phone in his hand.

Celine had dialed Adam's number earlier.

Thus, he had heard the entire conversation between Celine and Carly
