Chapter 104
Lucy’s mind buzzed, her thoughts freezing for a moment. She suddenly recalled that when Larry escaped, she had indeed taken him in. Shocked, she turned to Celine. “Was it you?”
It was Celine who orchestrated Larry’s release through Leo. She had anticipated that Larry would run straight to the Tate family.
Celine met Lucy’s gaze with an innocent expression and a faint smile curling her lips. “I don’t understand what you’re accusing me of, Mom. You don’t owe me an explanation. Save it for the authorities.”
“How dare you!” Lucy’s voice cracked.
From the distance, Larty, how retrained by the police, let out a desperate cry. “I don’t want to go to jail! Mrs. Tate, save me! Please, save me!”
The crowd’s eyes shifted sharply to Lucy. The whispers started, spreading like wildfire. Her reputation as a good mother was completely ruined.
Lucy’s expression changed as she panicked. “Shut up! Make him stop!”
The reporters started discussing among themselves. “Didn’t that man go to prison ten years ago for molesting a child? Are we supposed to believe she didn’t know?
“And she still associate herself with someone who harmed her own daughter? What kind of mother does that?”
“Didn’t you hear? Mrs. Tate’s the ultimate pick–me. First for Hayden, now for Carly.”
The phrase “ultimate pick–me” hit Lucy like a slap to the face. She didn’t like that nickname and was flushed with anger.
“No, it’s not like that! That’s not true!” She wanted to defend herself, but the two officers standing on either side of her gripped her arms firmly and escorted her away.
Carly stayed frozen in place. She panicked, and her face went blank.
With that, she turned and walked away.
Robin couldn’t hold back a laugh as she hurried to follow Celine.
Benjamin stood there in silence. Did she just ask him to have some nut milk for his brain? Was she implying that he was stupid?
Whatever guilt he had felt moments ago vanished in an instant. His face darkened as he shouted, “Celine! Come back and explain yourself!”
It was then that Carly approached Benjamin, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. She couldn’t afford to lose him. “Benjamin, I don’t know how things turned out like this. I had no idea Larry was such a monster.”
Benjamin’s expression turned sour at the mention of Larry. “Don’t bring up that bastard. He’s done for. He’ll rot in prison! And Carly, don’t blame yourself. You’re kind and beautiful. You were deceived like the rest of us.”

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
