The Divorce Prescription

"When are you planning to leave for the Capitol?" Perry asked.

"I haven't decided yet," Celine replied.

Perry took out a gold-embossed invitation. "Don't wait, Celine. Leave tomorrow. The Capitol is about to host an Apex Gala, inviting the top 100 individuals from the Summit Index. Everyone attending is a powerful figure in high society. This is your invitation."

Celine took the invitation and opened it. Inside, her alias-Linny-was elegantly printed.

"The world's most influential pharmaceutical conglomerate, Alpite Pharma, will have its mysterious boss, Linny, attending this Apex Gala. The news has already spread, and your presence will be the event's highlight. This is the perfect opportunity for you to return to the Capitol."

Linny was Celine's alias, known only to a select few. She was the true power behind Alpite Pharma, the most prestigious medical corporation in the world.

Celine didn't refuse the invitation but hesitated, glancing at Bella, who was happily drawing with her nanny.

"But if I go to the Capitol, what about Bella? She's never been apart from me. She's really clingy," Celine said, clearly worried.

Perry raised an eyebrow. "Celine, aren't you bringing Bella with you?"

Celine shook her head. "No."

"Why not? Are you afraid of Bella meeting her father?"

Celine looked into the distance. "Adam and I are over. He's going to marry Carly, the heiress of the richest family. I don't want Bella and Adam to meet.

"I know it's unfair to Bella-she has the right to know who her father is. But call

me selfish. I don't want Bella to be caught between the Alvarez and Hampton families. I just want my daughter to be happy and safe."

Perry nodded. He had always respected Celine's decisions.

Bella was Celine's daughter, and Celine had fought to bring her into this world. She had every right to decide what was best for her.

"Then go to the Capitol without worry. I'll take care of Bella."

"You? Take care of Bella?" Celine asked in mock surprise.noveldrama

"What, you don't trust me?"

Perry turned toward Bella. "Bella, come here."

Bella immediately jumped up, her little hands and feet moving quickly as she ran straight into Perry's arms.

"Daddy Perry, why are you calling me?" she asked.

Perry gave her a peck on the cheek "Bella Mommay has to go on a

business trip. How about you le

with me for a few days?"

Bella turned to Celine. "Mommy, are you going far away?"

Celine nodded. "Yes, sweetie."

"Then can I come with you? I want to stay with Mommy!"

Bella wanted to go to the Capitol with Celine.

Celine smiled gently. "Bella, Mommy is going for work this time. I won't have time to take care of you. But be gone only for a few days, and fl come back soon. You can stay with Baddy Perry, and call you every

day."

Bella thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay! I agree!"

"That's my good girl."

The next day, Celine finished packing her luggage. Perry and Bella took her to the airport.

"Go without worries, Celine," Perry assured her.

Bella waved her tiny hands. "Bye-bye, Mommy!"

Celine kissed Bella's cheek before boarding her private jet to the Capitol.

Perry picked Bella up. "Bella, let's go home."

Just then, Bella's eyes landed on a lollipop. "Daddy Perry, can you buy me a lollipop?"

Perry put her down on a seat in the

airport lobby

"Be a good gin

girl and sit

Here. go buy one for you."

With that, he walked off to buy the lollipop.

Bella sat quietly, waiting.

Just then, a tall and handsome man entered the airport lobby.

It was Adam.
