The Divorce Prescription

Benjamin’s excitement caught Adam’s attention. He lifted his sharp eyes and glanced at him.

Benjamin was defiant. “One more round!”

Celine agreed. The second round began.

Two seconds later, Adam once again heard Benjamin’s exasperated shout. “Damn! Damn it, damn it, damn it!”

Benjamin had lost again.

Still unwilling to admit defeat, he exclaimed, “Another round!”

Celine replied coolly, “Benjamin, think carefully, If you lose again in the third round, your rank will drop from Pro to Rookie.

Benjamin’s rank had always been Pro, but facing Celine, he’d been KO’d twice in a row. If he lost the next round, his rank would drop, demoting him from Pro to Rookie.

At that moment, Adam’s deep, magnetic voice rang out. “Benjamin, what’s got you so worked up?”

Benjamin saw his chance. He ran over to Adam, feeling as though he’d found his savior. “Adam, you have to help me! Play a game against her for me!”

Adam glanced down and realized Benjamin had been gaming against Celine. He naturally noticed Benjamin’s track record. Benjamin couldn’t even last two seconds against her in the game.

The last time Adam had seen Celine play, he had already been impressed by her hand speed. Her hand speed was incredible. But he wasn’t interested in gaming against her.

Last night, she’d left without saying goodbye, leaving behind a note with a simple “Thank you.”

She called to express her gratitude but immediately followed it with an offer to repay him, asking if he wanted anything.

She always framed their relationship as one of physical desire and transactional exchanges. Did she really think every time he helped her, it was just to get something in return?

If he truly had desires, there were plenty of women lining up for him. It wasn’t as if she were the only one. Who did she think she was teasing?

“Adam, come on! Help me crush Celine in this game!” Benjamin pleaded.

She deserved to be put in her place.

Adam took the phone. He was a gaming master. Back in the day, he had seen the potential in the gaming market and personally developed several apps, earning his first fortune. novelbin

As the heir to the Alvarez family, he had once indulged in thrill–seeking activities like racing, yachting, and flying planes. After taking over Alvarez Group, however, he rarely touched such things anymore.

This time, he agreed to play only because he wanted to defeat Celine and teach her a lesson.

Last night, he couldn’t bear to see her cry.

She wasn’t crying anymore, but he found himself wanting to make her cry again.

Perhaps this was simply a man’s inherent flaw.

Adam tapped the screen, starting the third round. He and Celine began to battle.

Benjamin felt confident. “Adam, get her! Come on, knock her out!”

Adam wanted to take her down quickly, but he couldn’t.

He waited for her to approach. As usual, Celine wielded her hammer and charged, but this time, he dodged her attack. He countered with his spear, lunging at her, but Celine evaded perfectly.

At first, Adam hadn’t taken Celine seriously as an opponent. However, after they exchanged blows three times, the lazy expression on his elegant face disappeared. He sat up straight, his demeanor sharpening. His sleek, well–defined fingers flew across the keyboard.

Celine’s moves were fast, precise, and ruthless. Each strike was deadly.

Adam was stunned.
