The Divorce Prescription

Adam looked directly at Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, let me make this clear once again—I will not marry Carly. The person I love is Celine!"

Carly's face crumpled with hurt and indignation. "Adam!"

With a firm tug, Adam pulled Celine free from Nigel's grasp. Celine's delicate frame stumbled into Adam's warm, solid chest. He wrapped his strong arm around her slender waist and asked in a low voice, "Celine, are you okay?"

Celine shook her head. "I'm fine."

His gaze softened. "Let's go."

She nodded. "Alright."

She intended to walk on her own, but before she could take a step, Adam swept her into his arms in a bridal carry.

Celine blinked in surprise as Adam instructed, "Hold onto my neck."noveldrama

She obediently wrapped her arms around him, and Adam carried her away.

Hailey glanced at Carly and stuck out her tongue playfully. "Well, well, being the daughter of the richest man doesn't mean much if you can't even keep your fiancé."

Carly's face turned red with anger. "You-"

Hailey quickly cut her off, saying, "Oh, don't get mad now. Remember, you have a heart condition. If you get too worked up and collapse, my Celine definitely won't save you."

Carly was left speechless.

Hailey stuck out her tongue again before turning to run after Adam. "Mr. Alvarez, wait for me!"

Carly had been in a great mood earlier, but now, she was fuming. Clenching her fists, she turned to Nigel. "Dad, did you see that? Celine refuses to perform my surgery! What am I supposed to do?"

Nigel looked at his daughter and said calmly, "Carly, once we return to the Capitol, I'll arrange for a thorough medical examination. I'll find the world's best doctors to treat your heart condition. Celine isn't the only skilled surgeon in the world. Trust me, I'll make sure you get the best treatment."

Hearing this, Carly finally relaxed. With Nigel's influence and resources, finding a doctor on par with Celine wasn't impossible. Once she recovered, she wouldn't have to be at Celine's mercy anymore.

Lucy was overjoyed. "That's wonderful, Mr. Hampton! Carly finally has hope for recovery!"

However, Carly was still troubled. "Dad, what about Adam?"

Nigel's expression remained composed. "Carly, I've seen enough today. Adam clearly doesn't have feelings for you. His heart belongs to Celine Forcing a relationship won't bring happiness. Marriage is a lifefong commitment, and want you to be happy.

"Let Adam go. I'll find you another suitable match. Any eligible bachelor in the Capitol is yours to choose from."

Carly's eyes flickered with dissatisfaction. "Are they better than Adam?"

Nigel shook his head. "No. Adam isn't just the most outstanding heir of the Alvarez family; he's also a rising star in the business world. He's young now, but in ten years, his achievements could rival mine."

Carly knew this all too well. She had met many men, but none could compare to Adam.

He wasn't just a business genius; he possessed an unmatched charisma and maturity, as well as impeccable character.

Carly clenched her fists. "Dad, I don't want anyone else. I only want Adam!"

Nigel frowned. "Carly..."

Carly clung to Nigel's arm and pleaded, "Dad, if you really want me to be happy, then help me win Adam over. Our families already have a marriage alliance. Adam was supposed to be mine from the start."

There was no way she would let Celine take him.

A woman's greatest victory lay in marriage. She might have been born the wealthiest heiress, but if Celine married Adam, she would still be beneath her. When Adam dominated the business world in ten years, she would still be beneath Celine. Cóntent belongs to

She would never allow that to happen.

Lucy added, "Mr. Hampton, you may not know this, but Carly and Adam have known each other for years. She loves him so much that no one else can ever replace him."

Nigel saw the determination in Carly's eyes and finally relented.

"Alright," he said. "If this is what you want, then it's what I want too. Don't worry, Carly. Adam will marry you."
