The Divorce Prescription

Chapter 551

While standing calmly in front of Grace, Celine nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Celine Tate."

Grace took out a check and placed it before her. "Take this and leave my son. You can fill in whatever amount you want."

Celine shook her head. "I don't want it."

Grace let out a cold scoff. "I'm sure you've heard about the engagement between the Alvarez and Hampton families. My son is meant to marry Carly, and she's the only one worthy of him. Marriages in powerful families are never just about love. This is the path Adam must take, and it's the right one.

"I've also heard you're with another man and carrying his child. Given that, are you still trying to keep both options open? As long as I'm here, you will never set foot in our family, so you might as well give up. Celine, choose wisely. You should accept the check and leave for good."

Celine looked at Grace. On her way here, she had considered the possibility that Grace might hurl cruel words at her, but she hadn't.

She didn't resent Grace, and maybe it was because she had heard her story before. Women had it hard enough, so why make things even more difficult for each other?

As she looked at Grace, Celine gave a faint smile. "Mrs. Alvarez, you've misunderstood. I refused the check because Adam and I are already over."

Grace was taken aback.

She had encountered plenty of homewreckers before, especially the one that had been a thorn in her heart for years. Her husband's so-called first love was delicate, cunning, and manipulative. That was why Grace despised mistresses.

However, Celine wasn't what she had imagined.
