The Divorce Prescription

Celine turned to Nigel. "Why did Lucy suddenly die? Why did she suddenly ram her head against the wall?"

Nigel's expression darkened. "I don't know."

Celine looked at Lucy's lifeless body and felt a wave of sorrow.

Even though Lucy had never shown her love and had spent her life trying to hurt her, Celine had never wished for her death.

Her pale lashes fluttered as her eyes welled up, and soon, large teardrops fell from her cheeks.

Just then, a voice came from outside. "Sir, something's wrong!"

Nigel looked at Eren. "What happened?"

"Sir, Ms. Hampton is missing."

What? Carly was missing?

Nigel immediately ran out and went straight to Carly's room.

It was empty. There was no trace of her.

"Carly! Carly!" Nigel called out, then turned to Eren. "When did she go missing?"

"Sir, the maid went to bring Ms. Hampton some soup but found the room empty. No one saw her leave. She must have been gone for a while."

Nigel immediately ordered, "Send people to look for her! Find her even if you have to turn Mercity upside down!"

Eren nodded. "Understood."

As Nigel was about to leave, Celine walked up to him.

"Mr. Hampton, I need to talk to you."

"What is it, Celine?"

"Mr. Hampton, don't you think it's strange? First, Hayden dies, then Lucy suddenly kills herself, and now, Carly disappeared."

Nigel's expression darkened. "Celine, I need to find Carly first. We'll talk later."

With that, he rushed off.

Celine furrowed her brows.

Adam approached and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Celine, how did Carly suddenly vanish? Where would she go?"

Celine watched Nigel's disappearing Don't worry. Carly will be

Adam nodded in agreement.

"Let's follow them and see."

Nigel and his men searched relentlessly for Carly.

Soon, Eren reported back, "Sir, we found her. Ms. Hampton is at the bridge."

"Take me there immediately!"

Several luxury cars rushed to the bridge. Nigel got out and saw Carly.

She was sitting on the edge of the bridge, right above the vast, raging sea.

If she slipped, she would be swallowed by the ocean.

Nigel stepped forward, his voice

Get away from there! It's

Carly turned to him, her eyes filled with tears. "Dad, don't come any closer!"

Nigel stopped in his tracks. "Alright, Carly. I won't come closer. Just come to me, okay?"

With tears in her eyes, Carly choked out, "Dad, you don't love me, do you?"

Nigel immediately answered, "Carly, of course I love you. Why would you think that?"

"Then why don't I feel it? Why do I feel like you love Celine more than me?"noveldrama

"I..."

"Dad, you know I've always been against Geline. You knew I loved Adam, but you still got close to her! You're my father, yet you don't give me your favor. You stand by my enemy instead!"

Nigel was at a loss for words. Because deep down, he knew she was right.

He did favor Celine. He admired her intelligence, composure, and integrity.

And he knew that Celine and Carly were rivals, both in life and in love.

Now that Carly had called him out, guilt weighed on him. "Carly, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that..."
