The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)

Their eyes met each other's from across the room.

Declan wore a mask, making it impossible to read his expression. Yet, even through the disguise, his gaze was as cold and distant as ever-looking at Hailey as though she were a complete stranger.

The host laughed and said, "Ladies, please, let's keep your excitement in check. Here's how it works-only one of you will have the privilege of touching our handsome centerpiece. Who will it be? That's for you to decide. Place your bids. The highest offer wins."

Immediately, the wealthy women around her started bidding.

"Ten thousand dollars."

"30 thousand dollars."

"50 thousand dollars."

"100 thousand dollars."

The price skyrocketed to one hundred thousand in no time, leaving Robin in disbelief. "100 thousand dolalrs just to touch him? Is this guy made of gold or something? Has everyone completely lost it?"

At that moment, Hailey raised her hand. "I bid 200 thousand dollars!"

With that, she instantly drove the price up.

Celine and Robin both turned to Hailey, with Robin giving her a subtle tug. "Hailey, why are you joining in on this madness?"

Hailey's almond-shaped eyes stayed locked on Declan on the stage. "I'll bid 200 thousand dollars. I want to touch him."

Declan looked down at Hailey, sensing the boldness in her voice.

With her 200-thousand-dollar bid, she effortlessly surpassed the other wealthy women, all for the chance to touch him.

While observing Declan, Celine quickly pieced things together. The only person who could make Hailey act like this was undoubtedly him.

A brief silence swept through the room before the bidding continued.

"I'll bid 500 thousand dollars!"

"I'll bid one million dollars!"

Hailey was taken aback.

She hadn't brought that much cash with her today. Without a second thought, she grabbed Celine's arm. "Celine, please lend me some money! I'll pay you back as soon as we get home."

Celine had no objections. She took out the gold-embossed credit card Adam had given her and handed it over "Take whatever you need!"

"I bid five million dollars!" Hailey exclaimed.

A stunned silence fell over the room.

QUMS

Hailey had just escalated the price to five million dollars.

The host's voice rang out, "This lovely lady has bid five million dollars! Is there

anyone willing to place a higher offer?"

Hailey arched an eyebrow, her gaze locked on Declan with a look that

unmistakably conveyed-Tonight, you're mine.

But Declan didn't even flinch. Without a word, he simply turned and walked off the stage.

"Hey, don't go!"

"Why is he leaving?"

The wealthy women gasped in shock.

Flustered, the host quickly

apologized, "Apologies, ladies, I was just kidding earlier. As you know, our centerpiece doesn't offer his

ve

services for sale. Even touching him is off-limits." en FindNovel

The women's disappointment was palpable. "Let's go."

As the crowd moved, someone accidentally bumped into Celine.

"Celine!" Robin gasped.

Celine braced herself, expecting to fall, but a strong arm quickly wrapped around her waist, holding her firmly.

She looked up and found herself face-to-face with Adam, his strikingly handsome features just inches away.

He had arrived.

"Mr. Alvarez, what are you doing here?" Celine asked, her voice wavering slightly.

Adam's expression was cold. The

bar at this restaurant was designed for wealthy women to indulge themselves, but seeing them bid for a male escort seemed almost

laughable to him.

"Is this some kind of game for you? And why is my card in your hands? Who are you trying to win over?"

Celine froze, caught off guard.

She quickly stood and said, "I didn't choose anyone. It was Hailey who wanted

to."
