The Divorce Prescription Chapter 223
The Divorce Prescription
Chapter Just as Celine was about to step forward, the sweet sound of a phone ringing echoed. It was Joshua calling.
âHello, Ms. Tate, thereâs been an issue at the police station. You need to come quickly!â
Celineâs heart missed a beat. What could have happened to Robin?
Without a second thought, she turned and ran.
When Celine arrived at the police station, Joshua quickly approached her. âMs. Tate.â
âWhatâs happened to Robin?â Celine asked.
Her words faltered when she saw a familiar figureâNikki arrived.
Nikki, dressed in highâend designer brands, was surrounded by a small entourage and two lawyers.
She smiled as she approached Celine. âCeline, I heard youâre here to bail Robin out. Donât bother. Your friend is staying here for life. Sheâll never get out.â
Joshua leaned in and whispered, âMs. Tate, Nikki brought two lawyers with her. Theyâre topâtier lawyers from the Alvarez Group.
âThe Alvarez Groupâs legal team is one of the best in the country, undefeated in every case. Theyâve already rejected our bail request. With their influence, the situation for Ms. Smith is looking very grim.â
Celineâs expression hardened She hadnât expected Adam to back Nikki to this extent.
Nikki grinned at her. âCeline, you know about me Mr. Alvarez donât you? Iâm sorry, I know heâs your husband, but he doesnât like you. Mr. Alvarez and couldnât resist each other that night.â
Celine stayed silent.
Nikki chuckled. âI also heard you and Mr. Alvarez recently consummated your marriage.â
Celineâs heart skipped a beat. âHow do you know that?â she asked.
Nikki raised an eyebrow âMr. Alvarez told me.â
Celine was taken aback to know that Adam had shared all of this with Nikki.
Celineâs body stiffened as she wondered if Adam had truly said that.
chuckled. âCeline, Mr. Alvarez is so incredible. I want to be with him. Youâre one of my good friends, and I know youâll support me and bless me.â With that, Nikki and her entourage stormed off.
Celine stood there, frozen in place.
Joshua broke the silence, saying, âMs. Tate, if we go headâtoâhead with the Alvarez Group, we wonât win. The only way to Ms. Smith is to approach Mr. Alvarezâ
Celine couldnât help but laugh at the thought of pleading with Adam.
Just then, her phone chimed softly, signaling an incoming call. She glanced at the screenâit was Adam calling As Celine tapped the screen to answer, Adamâs , displeased voice came through immediately. âCeline, Iâm at the city hall entrance. Iâve been waiting for you. Are you coming?â
She tightened her fingers around the phone. She had almost forgotten about the divorce. âAdam, something came up,â
said, wanting to explain. âI-â âCeline, what kind of game are you playing this the?â he cut her off. âYouâre the one who wants the divorce, and youâre the one not showing up. I donât have time to waste on your of and pull!â
Celineâs heart sank as she wondered if this was how he really saw her.
However, she couldnât afford to get on his bad side just yet. She had to bring up Robin âThereâs something I need to talk to you aboutâ¦â
