Chapter 216
The bodyguards stepped aside, finally allowing Celine and Hailey to approach Nikki.
“Nikki, you’ve become a big star?” Hailey asked, her gaze fixed on Nikki
Nikki raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips. “Yup. I’ve got a boyfriend, and he’s the one who made me a big star.”
“A boyfriend? Nikki, you’re dating someone? How come we never heard about this boyfriend of yours before?” Hailey exclaimed, eyes wide.
Nikki’s smile grew even sweeter. “My boyfriend is handsome, rich, and spoils me endlessly. He loves me so much.”
As she spoke, Nikki took a step forward and gently took Celine’s hand in hers. “Celine, I’m doing so well now. You must be happy for me, right? You’ll give me your blessing, won’t you?”
Celine’s clear eyes lingered on Nikki’s face for a moment. After a pause, she replied, “Nikki, congratulations.”
“Celine, thank you. I’ll get going now. Let’s catch up sometime soon, okay?”
With that, she turned and walked away, her entourage quickly falling into step behind her.
Hailey frowned, her confusion evident. “Celine, who do you think Nikki’s boyfriend is? There aren’t many people in Mercity who could give someone the kind of resources she’s talking about.”
Mercity wasn’t a massive city, but it wasn’t exactly small, either.
The circle of wealthy elites was tight–knit, and the number of those with the power and money to propel someone like Nikki to the top was even smaller.
Celine’s gaze lingered on Nikki’s retreating figure until it disappeared from view. “I don’t know either,” she said.
“Celine, I don’t think Nikki is really in love. She looks like she found herself a sugar daddy. Someone’s obviously funding her rise, “Hailey said bluntly. “The question is, who’s this sugar daddy?”
Celine’s gaze lingered in the direction Nikki had disappeared before she took Hailey’s hand. “It doesn’t matter. Nikki’s already gotten what she wanted. Hailey, I’m hungry. Let’s go have dinner.”
“Alright,” Hailey replied, letting the matter drop.
Nikki strade down the hotel corridor with her entourage trailing behind her. Diana walked beside her, matching her pace. “Nikki, tomorrow at 9:00 am, we need to be at ELLA for a magazine shoot.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
Please take back to Celine and Adam's story !...
Stella is another Carly...
Don’t let lucy win!. It is about time to get Celine what’s rightfully hers! Pls...
Hope this truth is not going to be buried...
I hope this doesn’t drag…..but typical of these stories, they will see again in 3-5 years time, with a toddler involved 😁😁...
It’s for the best that Celine leaves until she gives birth then revenge! I like it!...
