The Divorce Prescription

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."noveldrama

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.

Carly smiled smugly. "Celine, I've found my father. He's the richest man in the world. Shouldn't you be happy for me?"

She wanted to burst into laughter. Now that she had the most powerful father backing her, she wanted to see who would mess with her.

Celine? Not a chance. Adam? That wasn't happening either.

Celine's clear, sharp eyes locked on Nigel. "Mr. Hampton, Carly and I have unfinished business. Until that's settled, I won't let her leave."

Carly immediately clung to Nigel's arm, pouting. "Dad, it's her! Celine! She's always bullying me. Dad, look at my injuries and the slap marks on my face. She's the reason for all of them. She's cruel and heartless."

Nigel's eyes darkened when he noticed the bruises all over Carly's body. His gaze turned ice-cold as he looked at Celine. "You did this to my daughter, and I haven't even gone after you for that. Yet now, you're sending yourself up to my front door?"

His lips curled up slightly. "Carly is my daughter now. Do you think you can lay a finger on her?"

Celine took a step forward, but before she could move any closer, Adam's tall, imposing figure stepped in front of her, blocking her path.

Adam looked directly at Nigel. "Mr. Hampton."

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.
