The Divorce Prescription Chapter 268
The Divorce Prescription
Celine sat upright in her chair and , âGo back and check the âSacred Herbal Codexâ, Volume Ten, page 4008. You made mistake just now.â
She spoke earnestly, her tone full of weight. âWe, as medical practitioners, must be meticulous. A small could lead to catastrophic consequences,â At that moment, James stood towering over her, his height giving him a clear advantage. But her slender, graceful back was perfectly straight, and her intelligent, clear eyes met his with the authority of a lecturer addressing a student.
He was stunned. Was she lecturing him? Did she think she was the lecturer? His lecturer could only be Dr. C!
He felt as though the world had gone mad. He wanted to her, but she spoke first âThatâs enough, James. You can go now.â
He was flabbergasted. She had called him by his full name again. This audacity rendered him speechless. Without another word, he turned and left.
Back in the principalâs office, James fused. This was absurd. There was no way he could have been wrong He immediately pulled out the âSacred Herbal Codexâ, and didnât take him long to find the content on Volume Ten, page 4008.
Celine had remembered all perfectly. As he read further, he drew a sharp breath.
She was right.
He had made a mistake! Good heavens!
Just then, Bailey walked in and asked, âMr. Lambert, whatâs the matter?â
James stared at Bailey, dazed.
âThereâs a student of mine who would always sleep through my lectures, but the moment she opened her eyes pointed out my mistake. What do you make of that?â he asked.
Bailey beamed and answered, âMr. Lambert, that student must be a genius!â
A genius? Celine a genius? James was even more astonished now.
Class ended, and Celineâs phone rang. The call was from Samuel of Hattard University.
She answered, and Samuel immediately told her about the upcoming Pinnacle of Academic Symposium, where she and Adam were invited to deliver the keynote speech.
âCeline youâve been in Mercity all this time. How is it that Mr. Alvarez doesnât know you are?â he curiously.
She adjusted her grip on the phone and smirked. âMr. Peyton, I know him, but he doesnât know me.â
âWell, this symposium is the perfect opportunity you two to properly meet. Itâs time Mr. Alvarez found out who you are.
She and Adam were divorced now, with no connection left between them. They would be strangers passing each other on the road.
Perhaps it was fitting for them to meet again, with her in a completely new light. So, she nodded , âThat sounds like a good idea.â
That evening, in the luxurious booth of Club 1996, Benjamin asked with uncontainable excitement, âAdam is it true? Is Miss Genius C finally going to ike an appearance?â
Dressed in a black shirt and black slacks, Adam sat in the main seat, exuding a cold, composed aura. Carly was beside him, with Melody also present.
Watching Benjaminâs barely restrained enthusiasm, Carlyâs mood soured. She knew he was quite interested in this âMiss Genius C and even wanted to pursue her The others laughed. One of them teased âBen are you really smitten with Miss Genlus C Looks like Ben, whoâs charmed countless women, has finally found someone who can keep him in check, added.
As the conversation revolved around this âMiss Genius Câ, Carly masked her displeasure with a smile and chimed in saying, âBenjamin, this sounds like falling in love with an online persona. How do you even know what Miss Genius C looks like?
âIâve heard that these scholarly prodigles from prestigious familles arenât much to look at. Because theyâre average, no one dates them, so they just focus on their studies.
