The Divorce Prescription Chapter 218
The Divorce Prescription
The water from the glass spilled all over Celineâs hands and clothes.
Hailey immediately pulled out some tissue and started dabbing at Celineâs sleeve, âNikki, whatâs wrong with you? Iâve noticed youâve been acting strangely toward Celine this whole time. Are you targeting her on purpose Celine had tested the water earlier; it was lukewarm, nowhere near hot. Her calm, piercing blackâandâwhite eyes lifted and locked onto Nikkiâs face. âYou framed Robin on purpose. It wasnât her. You were coming after me, werenât you?â
Nikki shrugged, her lips curling into a smug smile. âYes.â
Haileyâs jaw dropped in disbelief before her anger took o OVER âNikki are you out of your mind? Celine always treated you as a friend! Have you forgotten who ran to save you when Mr. Holt tried to drag you away at Atlas Hotel?
â
now that youâve made it big, you donât just cut people off you repay kindness with revenge? Have you lost your conscience?â
But Nikki showed no trace of guilt. If anything, her sneer deepened. âFinally, you said what youâve been thinking. Youâre jealous of me. Both of you are jealous because I found a rich boyfriend. Youâre jealous that I became a big star.â
Jealous?
Hailey froze Before Hailey could continue Celine gently pulled her back stepping forward to face Nikki. Her calm, clear eyes never wavered.â This boyfriend of yours, do I know him?â
had gone out of her way to flaunt this boyfriend in front of her over and over again. If he was as important to Nikki as she claimed, there was a good Celine knew who he was.
But Nikki didnât answer.
Just then, her assistantâs phone buzzed. Alice answered quickly, then leaned to whisper something urgently into ear.
Nikkiâs face immediately lit up with joy. She cast a proud glance at Celine and said, âSorry, I donât have time to discuss Robinâs situation with you anymore. Iâm not changing my statement. My boyfriend heard I got hurt, and heâs coming to pick me up and take me home.â
Haileyâs face turned red with anger. âWhy you-â
With a smug air, Nikki threw off the blanket, got out of bed, and twirled in front of the mirror a few times, checking her reflection. She adjusted her outfit, ensuring she looked as sweet and innocent as ever. Satisfied, she left with Alice not sparing Celine or Hailey a backward glance.
âWhat kind of person is this? We completely misjudged her back then. Who is this sugar daddy of hers spoiling her so much that sheâs gotten this arrogant?â Hailey fumed.
Celineâs gaze lingered on the doorway Nikki had walked through. âIf we to know who sugar daddy is, we can just follow her and find out.â
Truthfully, Celine was just as curious. She wanted to know who the man behind Nikki was.
Celine and Hailey followed Nikki downstairs and saw her waiting. Her sugar daddy hadnât arrived yet, so Nikki stood there poised and obedient, looking so wellâbehaved.
There he is!â Hailey exclaimed suddenly.
Celine up just in time to a long, extended RollsâRoyce gliding toward them.
The luxury car shimmered with a cold, elegant brillianceâlike a king making his , demanding everyoneâs attention. Nikkiâs eyes sparkled instantly. In a heartbeat, she transformed from an arrogant superstar to a lovestruck woman, her demeanor softening.
As the car pulled up, Alice stepped forward and opened the passenger door. Nikki carefully gathered the hem of her dress, stepping inside with practiced grace.
The carâs blackâtinted windows completely concealed the interior, and whoever was inside remained hidden, lowâkey, and mysterious.
Moments later, the RollsâRoyce glided away into the cold night, speeding off until it disappeared from Celineâs view.
Hailey frowned, her expression puzzled. âWith a car and an entourage like that, Nikki must have landed an unbelievably powerful sugar daddy. But I have no idea who it could be.â
As she spoke, she reached for Celineâs hand. Celineâs hand was icy cold, utterly devoid of warmth. âCeline, whatâs wrong? Why are your hands so cold? They feel like ice!â
