The Divorce Prescription Chapter 304
The Divorce Prescription
Carly had always been dismissive of Celine, but now she was starting to realize just how clever Celine was. She needed to come up with a plan to deal with her. Picking up her phone, she made a call to Sonia.
Celine returned to the dormitory, and Hailey was already there. âHailey, did you manage to catch up with Declan?
Hailey sighed. âNope. He completely ignored me.â
Celine smirked. âLooks like Declan isnât that easy to win over.
âCeline! Who said I was trying to chase him? Youâre just teasing me now!â Haileyâs face turned red Celine chuckled but decided to drop the subject.
Suddenly, Hailey grabbed Celineâs arm. âCeline, tell me the truth. How did the birthmark on my face disappear? Iâve been thinking about it. Yesterday, you gave me a really bitter pill to eat. Donât lie to me. It has to be because of that pill, right?â
Celine opened her mouth to say something when a sounded at the door. Who could that be?
Hailey quickly went to open the door, revealing a tall, elegant figure standing there. It was Adarn.
âMr. Alvarez, what are you doing here? I havenât had the chance to find you yet. Youâd better be careful of Carly. That girl is and scheming! If it werenât for Celine, she wouldâve ruined me!â Halley said indignantly.
Adam looked at Halleyâs small, delicate lace. The birthmark was gone. Without it, Halley looked as soft and radiant as a luminous pearl. This was his cousin He had been in the yesterday when he saw Celine casually swipe her hand across Haileyâs face, erasing the .

འའའའའའAdam pressed his lips into a thin line asked, âHow did yo d your birthmark disappear?â
Celine wanted to stop Halley from speaking, but she blurted out, âItâs Celine gave me this really bitter pill to eat â
Celine was speechless. She silently cursed herself for not preparing a consistent story with Hailey beforehand.

âHailey could you step outside for a minute?â he asked in a low voice.
Hailey nodded. âOkay.â
Once Hailey left, Adam stepped into the dorm room and closed the door behind him. His strides carried him closer to Celine, his Imposing presence, it felt as if the entire room was now cloaked in his shadow.
âWhere did you get that pill?
Celine tilted her face up to meet his gaze. âIâm not telling â
Adam was taken aback.
It was clear Celine didnât want to talk to him. Without another word, she turned on her heal and was ready to leave. However, before she could take a step forward, Adam grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks.
Forced to a halt, Celine frowned and started to struggle. âMr. Alvarez, let go of mel Show so the respect, or I wonât go easy on you!â
Her warning had barely left her lips when Adam suddenly tightened his grip and pulled her directly into his chest.
Celine looked up only to see the faintest hint of amusement on his face. He let out a low, mocking chuckle as he gazed down at her. âYou talk a big game. First, you say youâll teach my woman a Now, youâre threatening me? Celine, you really think youâre something, donât you
