Hailey smirked. "Carly is just getting her just desserts. She stole Celine's identity and lived in luxury for years. Three days of suffering is nothing compared to what she took."
Celine's expression remained cold. Right now, her only focus was avenging her father.
She turned her head toward the window and was surprised to see that several roads were blocked.
"Why are these roads closed?"
Hailey also frowned. "This is one of the main routes in Mercity. I've never seen the roads here shut down before. Did something happen?"
Adam glanced outside, his brows furrowing slightly. "I have no idea."
Hailey raised an eyebrow. "So, even you, the most powerful man in Mercity, don't know about this? That's a first."
Adam found it odd as well. He pulled out his phone and said, "Let me make a call to find out."
He dialed Leo's number.
Leo's respectful voice came through immediately. "Hello, Mr. Alvarez."
"Why are so many roads blocked today?"
"Sir, I've noticed this unusual situation as well. It's not just the roads—I've heard the airport has been shut down too."
Adam pressed his lips tightly together. "Why?"
"Sir, I've been told that a high-ranking figure from Capitol is arriving in Mercity today."
A high-ranking figure from Capitol?
Adam's expression remained unreadable as he asked, "Where are the Tates now?"
"Sir, they've already arrived at the cemetery. They're waiting for you."
Their eyes met in silence.
Adam said in a steady voice, "Don't worry, Celine. I'm here."
…
Soon, the luxury cars pulled into the cemetery. Celine stepped out and realized it was raining. A fine mist of rain drifted through the cold winter air, stinging her skin. The chill seeped into her bones.
Just then, something covered her. She looked up to see Adam holding a black umbrella over her head. Raindrops drummed softly against the fabric before rolling off into the damp earth.
Adam stood tall beside her. "Celine, everyone's here. Let's go."
She lifted her gaze toward the cemetery.
Sonia, Hayden, Lucy, Tracy, Wayne, and Hazel were all there. Everyone from the Tate family was present.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
