The world's richest man, Nigel, was Carly's father.
Carly couldn't stop smiling. She was so happy.
Nigel looked at Carly and opened his arms. "Carly, come here. Let me give you a hug."
Carly immediately rushed forward and wrapped her arms around him. "Dad, why did it take you so long to find me? I'm all grown up now. Why did you only show up now?"
Holding Carly in his arms, Nigel gently patted her back. "I'm sorry, Carly. I've been searching for you all these years. I've flown to countless countries and visited so many cities. I've never stopped looking for you."
She beamed. "Dad, I never want to be apart from you again. I want to stay with you forever."
He stroked her hair. "I'll take good care of you, Carly."
As this long-lost father and daughter reunited, Celine frowned slightly. She hadn't expected Carly to suddenly turn out to be someone as important as the beloved daughter of Nigel Hampton.
Who would've seen this coming?
Nigel finally let go of Carly, and she immediately clung to his arm. Smirking, she turned to Celine. "Dad, let's go home. I want to leave."
He nodded. "Alright, come with me."
He was ready to take Carly away.
But just then, a crisp, cold voice rang out from behind them. "Stop right there."
Nigel halted mid-step and slowly turned around. His gaze landed on Celine.
The moment he saw her delicate, strikingly beautiful face, he froze for a second. He didn't know why, but something about her stirred an inexplicable emotion inside him.
Nigel nodded. "Adam, you've grown a lot. I met your father just a few days ago. He mentioned that you should return to the Capitol soon."
The Alvarez family had deep roots in the Capitol. The Hampton family and the Alvarez family were both among the Capitol's four most powerful families.
Adam remained calm. "Mr. Hampton, I have no plans to return to the Capitol for now."
Nigel's gaze didn't waver. "Your father also brought up the marriage agreement between our families."
Hailey's eyes widened. "What marriage agreement?"
Nigel looked at Adam. "The Hampton and Alvarez families made an arrangement long ago. If one family had a son and the other had a daughter, they would be betrothed to each other. The engagement was put on hold because I couldn't find Carly. But now that she's here, it's time to bring the marriage agreement back on the table."
The Hampton and Alvarez families had a longstanding engagement. Carly was now the treasured daughter of the Hampton family. On the other hand, Adam, as the sole heir of the Alvarez family, was bound by this marriage agreement.

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
