The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 517

Carly reacted immediately, charging at Hailey with a frantic cry. "Enough! Turn it off! Stop playing it! Don't play it anymore!"

She swatted the phone out of Hailey's hand, sending it crashing to the floor with a loud thud.

Lucy rushed forward to retrieve it, but Adam moved faster, his hand snatching up Hailey's phone.

Carly screamed in panic, "Adam, don't look! Don't watch it!"

The surroundings erupted into chaos.

"Mr. Alvarez, you need to throw that phone away! Everything in there is a lie! You can't believe it!" Lucy urged.

Sonia quickly added, "Mr. Alvarez, remember why we're here—Carly's heart surgery is the priority! Let's focus on that and start the operation!"

The Tate family members grew more panicked, their desperation thickening the tension in the air.

Adam's cold, commanding gaze silenced them all. "Get them out of here. I don't want to hear any more of this."

Leo nodded sharply. "Understood, sir."

With a wave of his hand, a group of bodyguards in black swiftly stepped over. In an instant, Carly, Sonia, and the others were restrained.

Adam gripped the phone tightly, reopening the surveillance video.

Carly's rosy face was drained of color, her eyes wide with panic and desperation. With the bodyguards holding her in place, all she could do was scream, "Adam, no! Don't watch it! Please, don't!"

Ignoring her pleas, Adam played the video once more.

"Mr. Alvarez, why ask me? You're no fool. Haven't you already put the pieces together?"

There was no longer any room for doubt. The surveillance footage had made everything painfully clear. Carly hadn't just stolen the emerald necklace—she had stolen it from Celine. That meant the necklace had always belonged to Celine.

Adam's eyes reddened as he looked at her. He was unable to mask his disbelief.

Celine stood motionless in her white coat, radiating an air of indifference. While Adam was overwhelmed with shock, she remained poised and unaffected by the turmoil surrounding her.

Adam's gaze never faltered as he moved closer, his steps slow and deliberate.

When he stood in front of her, he asked, "Was it you?"

Celine said nothing, her silence hanging heavily in the air.
