The Divorce Prescription

Grace still remembered Celine vividly.

Adam wasn't surprised at all. He knew Carly would complain. That was what she had been doing for the past three years.

"Mom, I ran into Celine at the Apex Gala today," Adam said.

"Why is Celine in the Capitol? She must be here because of you. Adam, you can't get tangled up with her again!"

"Mom," Adam interrupted firmly. "Did Carly forget to tell you? Celine is Linny."

Grace froze.

Of course, Grace had heard of Linny. In their circle, her name was well-known. However, she never expected Celine to be Linny.

Adam continued, "Mom, Celine wasn't here for me. She was invited to the Apex Gala, and we just happened to run into each other. Celine has never relied on any man. Over the past three years, she's only gotten better."

The truth was, Grace never hated Celine. Even after all these years, she could still remember Celine's bright and intelligent eyes. And now, knowing she was Linny-the brilliant, stunning Linny who stood out even among the elite-Grace couldn't help but admire her.
