The Divorce Prescription

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.noveldrama

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."

The fact that the entire Tate family had shown up so promptly was strange.

"Got it." Adam ended the call.

Hailey asked, "Mr. Alvarez, who's this high-ranking figure from Capitol? This is so sudden. We didn't even hear anything about this."

Adam's brows furrowed slightly. "If this person can cause such a stir in Mercity, there are only a handful of people in Capitol who fit that profile."

Celine's clear eyes rested on Adam's face. "Do you have a guess?"

Adam shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Hailey shrugged. "Whoever it is, it doesn't concern us. Today, our only focus is taking down the Tate family and making them pay for their crimes."

Celine couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She didn't know why, but she sensed that today wouldn't go as expected. Something was bound to happen.

She glanced up and caught Adam watching her through the rear-view mirror.

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 chil 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.
