The Divorce Prescription

Sonia explained, "Celine's father wasn't my biological son. He was adopted. Over the years, Carly has always been by Lucy's side, so naturally, Lucy treats her as her own daughter."

She offered a brief explanation.

Nigel didn't respond right away. Instead, he turned to Celine. "Celine, I'll believe you for now."

Celine said, "Thanks, Mr. Hampton."

"But I need you to cure Carly."

Celine arched her brow as she said, "Mr. Hampton, you just said you believe me. If I wasn't the one who poisoned her, why should I be the one to cure her?"noveldrama

Lucy snapped, "Celine, do you think Mr. Hampton is being too polite with you?"

Sonia said, "Celine, you should know your place. No one talks to Mr. Hampton like that."

Celine ignored them both. She kept her gaze on Nigel and said, "Mr. Hampton, I have no obligation to cure Carly. Are you asking for my help?"

Nigel studied her, taking in her calm intelligence. Suddenly, he smirked.

She really was interesting. No one had ever spoken to him this way before. Nigel nodded. "Yes, I'm asking for your help. Celine, please cure my daughter."

Lucy glared at Celine with pure hatred, as if she wanted to burn a hole through her with just her eyes.

Nigel was actually indulging her. Was this the power of blood ties?

Family always came first.

Celine was Nigel's biological daughter and also the heiress of the Hampton fortune.

Celine asked, "Mr. Hampton, is this how you ask for a favor? Without showing any sincerity?"

Nigel smirked. "What kind of sincerity are you expecting?"

She thought for a moment. "I haven't decided yet. I want you to agree to grant me one request. I'll tell you what it is when I figure it out."

Sonia and Lucy's expressions shifted in an instant. Celine was actually making Nigel promise her a favor.

Who knew what she would ask for?

Lucy quickly tried to dissuade him, "Mr. Hampton, you can't agree this. What if she demands

something unreasonablenet

you

really going to go along with it?"

Sonia said, "She's right. Your word carries weight, so you shouldn't make promises to Celine so easily."

Celine raised a brow as she said, "If you won't agree, that's fine. I won't force anyone. Mr. Hampton, I'll get going first."

Just as Celine was about to leave, Nigel blocked her path. "Alright, I agree."

He had actually given in.

Sonia and Lucy were livid. "Mr. Hampton!"

Celine smiled as she said, "Thanks, Mr. Hampton."

Her eyes gleamed with clever

mischief, like a fox sizing up its prey. Nigel felt his mood lighten to see this. Now that I've agreed, will you

curè my daughter?" fo

Celine nodded. "Sure. Could you lead the way?"

Then,

I on the bed. Her face was and her lips were tinted blue. It was a clear sign of poisoning.

Celine said, "She's been poisoned."

Lucy remarked, "Did we need you to tell us that? Mr. Hampton already called in

top doctors, but none of them could cure her."

Nigel asked, "Celine, are you able to cure her?"
