The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102

The press conference spiraled into chaos, with accusations flying at Celine from every direction.

Adam’s gaze was ice–cold, a flicker of exasperation crossing his otherwise impassive face. Did Celine not realize this was like walking into the lion’s den? How reckless could she be to come here alone?

“What the hell?” Nathan muttered under his breath. He stepped forward, ready to shield Celine from the growing mob. However, someone had already beat him to it. Adam moved swiftly, his long strides cutting through the crowd.

Nathan was speechless. What kind of wingman was he? What a way to read the room.

However, the chaotic room fell eerily silent. Celine, surrounded by hostile faces, lifted her head. Her clear, unwavering gaze swept over the crowd. Though she didn’t raise her voice, the quiet authority in her gaze commanded attention. The sheer strength in her demeanor made everyone hold their breath.

Adam froze mid–step. He had never seen this side of her before.

The reporters now stood dumbstruck. Something about Celine’s presence was intimidating.

After letting her gaze linger on each face, Celine’s eyes locked onto Larry. “Did you really think I came here alone?”

Larry flinched. “What are you talking about?”

Suddenly, Robin’s voice rang out. “There he is! That’s Larry!”

All heads turned to see a team of uniformed police officers entering the room. The tension in the air became palpable as they marched directly toward Larry, presenting an arrest warrant.

“Larry Slick, you’re under arrest for extortion, kidnapping, and attempted rape,” the officer declared. The click of handcuffs echoed like a thunderclap.
