The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 320

Hayden's expression darkened. "What do you mean?"

"Honey, do you think I don't know? Carly isn't your biological daughter!"

Hayden pressed his lips together, his silence heavy with tension.

"Carly comes from a powerful family. If you reveal her true identity, all those obstacles will disappear. She'll be able to marry Mr. Alvarez without a hitch," Lucy continued.

Hayden rose to his feet. "I don't want to hear this again. You'd better keep it to yourself."

With that, he turned and headed for the staircase.

Lucy wasn't ready to let the matter go. "Honey, why won't you reveal Carly's true identity?" she pressed.

Hayden paused mid-step, his figure still refined and gentlemanly but now cloaked in an air of solemnity. Finally, his voice came, "Because Carly's mother doesn't want her to return to the Capitol."

That woman again!

Lucy's eyes flashed with malice. No wonder Celine, even after being abandoned in the countryside, had managed to grow into such a genius. 

What kind of terrifyingly powerful genes must she have? 

But so what? All that brilliance, all that glory, it would belong to Carly in the end. 

Even though Hayden had refused outright, Lucy could sense his resolve faltering. He loved Carly too much to turn a blind eye to her suffering 

It was only a matter of time before her true identity came to light 

Asly, twisted smile crept across Lucy’s face. 

The next day, Adamsat in the president’s office when his phone buzzed. It was james calling after returning from a business trip. 

“Adam, do you have time today? Come over for lunch,” James said casually. 

He was inviting Adam to dine at the Lambert residence. 

Adam had spent the night in his office, and it had been anything but restful. Pinching the bridge of his nose, he sighed “James, I don’t have time today.” 

James, of course, was blissfully unaware that Adam and Celine were already divorced. 

Adam said nothing 

Sensing a shift in tone, James asked, “By the way, how did Allie’s birthmark suddenly disappear? She said Celine gave her some kind of bitter pill. 

Adam’s sharp eyebrows knit together. “I’m not entirely sure either, I asked Celine, and she said…” 

James leaned in slightly. “What did she say?” 

Aden’s mind fleshed back to Celine’s smug response. “Not telling you!” 

Before Adam could say more, Linda’s cheerful voice rang out from the entryway. “Ms. Lambert, you’re back!” 

Celine and Hailey had arrived. 

Men instinctively glanced toward the door.
