The Divorce Prescription

Adam said Carly was just a substitute for Celine.

Carly had always known this deep down, but she refused to accept this fact.

"I'm the true chosen one! Celine is nothing but a bumpkin from the countryside. What right does she have to compare with me?"

Adam's gaze turned ice-cold. "Who gave you the right to insult Celine?"

One of his bodyguards stepped forward and delivered a resounding slap across Carly's face. Her head snapped to the side from the force of the slap.

However, it wasn't over. One after another, countless slaps rained down on her face, hitting her with unrelenting force. Soon, both sides of her face were red and swollen. Blood was trickling from the corner of her lips.

"Stop! It hurts!" Carly finally broke down and begged for mercy.noveldrama

Adam raised his hand slightly, signaling the bodyguard to stop. The bodyguard stepped back in silence.

Carly's legs gave out beneath her, and she collapsed onto the floor. She had been pampered her entire life and had never experienced such a beating. Now, her ears were ringing, and even her teeth felt loose.

Adam looked down at her coldly. "I don't ever want to hear you insult Celine again. That was just a warning."

Carly looked up at him.

He sat lazily in his chair, clad in a sleek black suit. He exuded the presence of an untouchable ruler.

At that moment, he was looking at her with an icy gaze filled with disdain that sent a shiver down her spine.

Carly scrambled forward on her hands and knees. She clutched the hem of his trousers. "Adam, don't do this to me. I can't lose you. Do you know how terrified I am of losing you?"

Adam smirked coldly. "Well, I'll have to congratulate you, then. You've already lost me."

Carly shook her head. "No!"

Just then, Carly felt a sharp pain in her heart and clutched her chest tightly. Her face turned deathly pale from the pain.

"Adam, my heart... My heart hurts so much.

Adam watched her indifferently. "Oh, your heart hurts? Is this what you're looking for?"

He held up a bottle of medicine.

Carly's eyes lit up as she immediately reached for it. "Adam, hurry, give it to me! It hurts so much!"

Adam flicked his wrist and tossed

the bottle to Leo. "Carly, forget about the medicine. You've always claimed your heart hurts. Go ahead and die from the pain, then."

With that, he stood up and turned to leave.

Carly immediately grabbed onto his pant leg. "Adam, don't go! Please, give me the medicine!"

Without even looking back, he said in an icy voice, "The moment you decided to impersonate Celine step into my life, you should've.

considered the consequence net

Letting you die in pain is the greatest mercy I can offer. Do you have any idea what Celine and I lost because of you?

Tears streamed down Carly's face. She felt as if she were in hell and Adam was the devil holding the keys to her fate.

"Adam, please forgive me! I was wrong! I won't do this again! I'm sorry!"

Adam scoffed. "There wouldn't be a need for the law if a simple apology could

settle things. Carly, you're only reaping what you sowed."

"No! My parents will save me. They won't let me die!"

Adam let out a chilling laugh. "Don't worry. I'll make sure the entire Tate family joins you in hell. None of you are getting away."
