Chapter 106
He saw Lucy on the TV, and the smile vanished from Hayden’s face while he froze.
With a microphone in hand, the reporter said, “Who says being a pick–me isn’t an economy? Hats off to this suspect, as she’s the ultimate pick–me. She’s doing it with such flair, such passion…”
Hayden remained silent.
The three businessmen didn’t bother hiding their distaste. They pushed back their chairs and got up.
Hayden hurriedly tried to salvage the situation. “Gentlemen, please wait…”
The trio glanced at him, their lips curled into a sardonic smile. “Mr. Tate, you’re really something. We could never hope to match your charm.” With that parting shot, they walked out.
Today, the ultimate pick–me, Lucy, had her moment of infamy. Her antics dragged Hayden into the spotlight as a subject of ridicule among the businessmen.
Hayden’s face darkened as he threw the glass on the floor with all his might.
Just then, his phone rang. It was Carly. “Dad, something terrible happened! The press conference was a disaster. Mom’s been arrested! You need to get a lawyer and get her out now!” Carly cried out.
Hayden turned to Carly and said, “Carly, I’ve noticed Mr. Alvarez’s attitude toward Celine has changed. He’s the key to everything. You need to make sure he stays firmly in your comer.”
Carly let out a cold laugh. Lifting her chin proudly, she declared, “Dad, do you think Celine actually believes Adam likes her? She’s delusional. I’ll show her her place soon enough.”
Even now, Carly didn’t see Celine as a threat. Sure, Celine had won a few rounds lately. However, when it came to Adam, Celine would never win. She could try if she didn’t believe it!
Celine had just returned to Alvarez Residence when her phone buzzed. It was a call from Carly.
“Celine, are you free? Let’s grab some coffee,” Carly said.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
