Chapter 216
The bodyguards stepped aside, finally allowing Celine and Hailey to approach Nikki.
“Nikki, you’ve become a big star?” Hailey asked, her gaze fixed on Nikki
Nikki raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. “Yup. I’ve got a boyfriend, and he’s the one who made me a big star.”
“A boyfriend? Nikki, you’re dating someone? How come we never heard about this boyfriend of yours before?” Hailey exclaimed, eyes wide.
Nikki’s smile grew even sweeter. “My boyfriend is handsome, rich, and spoils me endlessly. He loves me so much.”
As she spoke, Nikki took a step forward and gently took Celine’s hand in hers. “Celine, I’m doing so well now. You must be happy for me, right? You’ll give me your blessing, won’t you?”
Celine’s clear eyes lingered on Nikki’s face for a moment. After a pause, she replied, “Nikki, congratulations.”
“Celine, thank you. I’ll get going now. Let’s catch up sometime soon, okay?”
With that, she turned and walked away, her entourage quickly falling into step behind her.
Hailey frowned, her confusion evident. “Celine, who do you think Nikki’s boyfriend is? There aren’t many people in Mercity who could give someone the kind of resources she’s talking about.”
Mercity wasn’t a massive city, but it wasn’t exactly small, either.
The circle of wealthy elites was tight–knit, and the number of those with the power and money to propel someone like Nikki to the top was even smaller.
Celine’s gaze lingered on Nikki’s retreating figure until it disappeared from view. “I don’t know either,” she said.
“Celine, I don’t think Nikki is really in love. She looks like she found herself a sugar daddy. Someone’s obviously funding her rise, “Hailey said bluntly. “The question is, who’s this sugar daddy?”
Celine’s gaze lingered in the direction Nikki had disappeared before she took Hailey’s hand. “It doesn’t matter. Nikki’s already gotten what she wanted. Hailey, I’m hungry. Let’s go have dinner.”
“Alright,” Hailey replied, letting the matter drop.
Nikki strade down the hotel corridor with her entourage trailing behind her. Diana walked beside her, matching her pace. “Nikki, tomorrow at 9:00 am, we need to be at ELLA for a magazine shoot.”
She didn’t typically follow celebrity news, but apparently, the entertainment headlines were already ablaze– Nikki had been injured on set during a wire stunt gone wrong-
“How is Nikki?” Celine asked.
“She’s hurt, but it doesn’t seem too serious.”
Celine’s brow furrowed deeply as something clicked in her mind. “Hailey, where did you say Nikki went for the shoot?”
“ELLA,” Hailey repeated.
Celine’s stomach dropped, and a sinking feeling washed over her. She quickly took out her phone and dialed Robin’s number.
The phone rang several times, but there was no answer. Growing more uneasy by the second, Celine immediately called Robin’s assistant instead
The call connected instantly, and the assistant’s trembling, tearful voice came through. “Ms. Smith… something terrible happened. She’s been taken! She’s at the police station!”

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
