The Divorce Prescription

Carly sank into the couch, forcing herself to think clearly. What was her next move?

Grace had vanished, and Adam was undoubtedly aware of it by now. He was likely with Celine right now, and the two of them were probably planning their next move against her.

Carly wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away. She was determined to make Celine disappear for good.

With that thought, Carly quickly grabbed her phone and sent a message to Celine.

In the CEO's office at Alvarez Group, Celine's phone suddenly chimed. She glanced at the screen-it was a message from an unknown number.

"If you want Bella to live, go somewhere secluded and answer my call. Remember, if anyone else finds out, she will be killed on the spot."

Celine's heart skipped a beat. The kidnappers had finally made their move.

She had been preparing for this moment. As long as they acted, there would be traces she could follow.

The phone number was generated through a virtual network, confirming how cautious and calculated the kidnappers were.

Sitting in his office chair, Adam heard the ping of the text message. He looked up at Celine. "Your phone just went off. Who's texting you?"

Celine knew she couldn't let anyone else in on this.

She quickly picked up her phone. "Hailey."

Adam gave a brief nod.
