Chapter 101
“I sold everything I had to send her to school, gave up everything to send her to the big city. And now? She refuses to acknowledge me! Says I embarrass her and wants me to go back to the countryside…” Larry cried, his performance so convincing that even he almost believed it. His acting deserved a perfect score.
The reporters snapped photos frantically. An adoptive daughter abandoning her rural adoptive father was headline–worthy material. They were all eager to get an exclusive scoop.
The journalists felt deeply sympathetic toward Larry and didn’t hold back their criticism of Celine. “How could Celine be so heartless?”
“I never believed anyone could be inherently evil until Celine proved me wrong!”
Benjamin handed Larry a tissue, his voice filled with righteous anger. “Today’s press conference is to expose Celine for who she truly is. Too many people still don’t know what kind of person she is. She can’t just abandon her adoptive father. She must take responsibility!”
Larry wiped his face with the tissue, a sly smile flashing briefly across his lips. No matter how much protection Adam offered, Celine wouldn’t escape him.
Lucy exchanged a quick glance with Carly. Both of them were pleased with how things were unfolding.
Hayden hadn’t bothered to show up. To him, this press conference was enough to deal with Celine. He had a business dinner with a few clients at a luxury hotel and
was simply waiting for good news from Lucy.
Lucy, meanwhile, wore a pained expression and spoke apologetically, “Ladies and gentlemen, I owe you all an apology. Celine is my daughter. It’s my failure as a mother that I didn’t raise her properly, leading to such a negative effect. I’m not a good mother.”
Carly immediately took her hand. “Mom, it’s not your fault.”
The reporters chimed in. “Mrs. Tate, you’re a wonderful mother! Just look at how well you raised Carly.”
“Mrs. Tate, Celine is just rotten to the core. Some people can’t be taught no matter how hard you try.”
Lucy’s lips curved slightly. Using Celine as a stepping stone, she had successfully established herself as a good mother.
Celine’s eyes turned icy as she glared at Larry. “Don’t touch me with your filthy hands. You make me sick.”
Larry froze.
Lucy didn’t miss a beat, quickly stirring up the crowd. “Celine, how can you still treat your adoptive father like this? Haven’t you done enough?”
Carly chimed in, “Celine, apologize to your adoptive father right now and take him home with you.”
Benjamin added, “Celine, you’re absolutely despicable!”
The reporters swarmed closer. “This is all happening right in front of us. Celine, your true personality is hideous. We’ll make sure the world knows who you truly are!”
As Adam and Nathan entered the venue, this chaotic scene was the first thing they saw. Celine was standing alone, surrounded, and under siege.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
