The Divorce Prescription

Benjamin was dismayed to learn that Celine had dropped out of school at the age of sixteen. Those associated with Benjamin respected Carly not just for her beauty but also for her remarkable intellect. She graduated from a top-tier college, and in Mercity's high society, no one was more accomplished than she. She was the perfect match for Adam.

Bear alone hadn't gotten her far. It was looks paired with brains that truly mattered. The higher one climbed in society, the more a woman's education was valued. Benjamin lost all the goodwill he had previously harbored toward Celine. His tone dripped with disdain.

"Celine, you seriously dropped out at sixteen?"

Carly glanced at him, her expression poised and calm. "Well, you’re right," she replied. Tegin scoffed, "What a funny coincidence. Mom also dropped out at sixteen. But unlike you, she's the real deal. At sixteen, she earned her double master's degrees from Harvard University. She made history. On the other hand, you stopped studying and probably didn’t even finish high school."

Carly acted as though she was above Celine, looking down on her. Tall and handsome, Adam stood in silence, the hallway lights casting a cool glow on his striking face as he regarded Celine. For the past three years, Celine had been a housewife, her life revolving around him, which explained why she hadn’t pursued further education.

Celine, however, did not seem embarrassed or willing to back down. In fact, her clear, bright eyes met his as she smiled gracefully and said, "Yes, such a coincidence." Adam felt a strange flutter in his chest, though he couldn’t quite explain why. He couldn’t help but notice how beautiful Celine's eyes were—bright and full of life, drawing his attention in a way that made him feel connected to her.

"Celine!" Just then, Robin came running over, looking furious.

"Carly, are you bullying Celine again?" Carly held her head high.

"We're not bullying Celine. We’re actually trying to help her find a job."

Robin was stunned. "You’re helping her? Celine doesn’t even have a degree or a high school diploma!" Carly continued with an air of false generosity. "Well, we’ll do our best to find her a good job."

Robin laughed, clearly annoyed. "Do you even know who Celine really is?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Celine grabbed Robin’s arm and stopped her. "Robin, let’s go!"
