Celine turned to Nigel. "Why did Lucy suddenly die? Why did she suddenly ram her head against the wall?"
Nigel's expression darkened. "I don't know."
Celine looked at Lucy's lifeless body and felt a wave of sorrow.
Even though Lucy had never shown her love and had spent her life trying to hurt her, Celine had never wished for her death.
Her pale lashes fluttered as her eyes welled up, and soon, large teardrops fell from her cheeks.
Just then, a voice came from outside. "Sir, something's wrong!"
Nigel looked at Eren. "What happened?"
"Sir, Ms. Hampton is missing."
What? Carly was missing?
Nigel immediately ran out and went straight to Carly's room.
It was empty. There was no trace of her.
"Carly! Carly!" Nigel called out, then turned to Eren. "When did she go missing?"
"Sir, the maid went to bring Ms. Hampton some soup but found the room empty. No one saw her leave. She must have been gone for a while."
Nigel immediately ordered, "Send people to look for her! Find her even if you have to turn Mercity upside down!"
Eren nodded. "Understood."
As Nigel was about to leave, Celine walked up to him.
"Mr. Hampton, I need to talk to you."
"What is it, Celine?"
"Mr. Hampton, don't you think it's strange? First, Hayden dies, then Lucy suddenly kills herself, and now, Carly disappeared."
Nigel's expression darkened. "Celine, I need to find Carly first. We'll talk later."
With that, he rushed off.
Celine furrowed her brows.
Adam approached and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Celine, how did Carly suddenly vanish? Where would she go?"
Nigel stopped in his tracks. "Alright, Carly. I won't come closer. Just come to me, okay?"
With tears in her eyes, Carly choked out, "Dad, you don't love me, do you?"
Nigel immediately answered, "Carly, of course I love you. Why would you think that?"
"Then why don't I feel it? Why do I feel like you love Celine more than me?"
"I…"
"Dad, you know I've always been against Celine. You knew I loved Adam, but you still got close to her! You're my father, yet you don't give me your favor. You stand by my enemy instead!"
Nigel was at a loss for words. Because deep down, he knew she was right.
He did favor Celine. He admired her intelligence, composure, and integrity.
And he knew that Celine and Carly were rivals, both in life and in love.
Now that Carly had called him out, guilt weighed on him.
"Carly, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that…"

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🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
