The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 86

“How much do you want?” Celine asked.

Larry could barely contain his greed as he declared, “100 million dollars.

Celine smiled mockingly as she laughed soundlessly. “100 million dollars? You dream big, huh?

“Stop your nonsense! You have to deliver 100 million dollars to me personally by tonight, or the entire Mercity will see your photo. I’ll be waiting for you tonight”

With that, Larry hung up the call

Celine gripped her phone tightly. Adam’s voice rang from behind her. “Were you on the phone with your adoptive father?”

Celine turned around to see Adam returning to his room. His gaze was fixated on the box in her hands.

His lanky figure cast a shadow before her as he said, “Grandma said your adoptive father sent you a photo. What photo is that?” Celine looked at him and wondered if she could tell him about her adoptive father. What would his reaction be if she told him about it?

Celine replied, “This photo is-”

Her phone rang before she could finish what she wanted t to say. This time, it was Nathan who was calling

Celine answered the call, and Nathan said excitedly, “Come out quickly, Celine! I have a gift prepared for you.”

She frowned. “Mr.Lynch, I’m not available right now…

“I’m right outside Alvarez Residence. If you don’t come out, I’ll come in

Celine compromised her stance immediately. “Don’t come in. I’ll come out.”

She thought Adam bought that for her as a birthday gift. She was really happy, so she told him that the bag looked beautiful.

It wasn’t that she liked bags. She thought that was his gift to her, and that was why she liked it. He had never given her any gifts.

She didn’t expect Adam to think that she liked Chanel bags because of this. How ironic.

Nathan didn’t notice that something was awry as he continued, “I went to Adam’s office today to ask him how I can pursue you. He told me you like bags, so got someone to buy it. Tell me, Celine, what do you like?”

Celine was surprised. Adam taught Nathan how to pursue her?

Bitterness filled Celine’s heart. “Mr. Lynch, I don’t like anything. If I wanted these things, I could have a lot of them

I don’t need all of you to give me gifts like these. Stop wasting

Then, Celine turned and lett.

When Celine got back into her room, she saw Adam standing on the balcony, watching them from above. He turned around when he heard Celine enter and asked. “You didn’t like the bag Nathan gave you?
