Although it was only a marriage of convenience, Amelie Ashford was the perfect wife in every aspect. She was intelligent, obedient, and well-respected. She was kind to everyone and devoted to her husband. And she was perfectly content to spend the rest of her life like that, even though she was constantly nagged about getting pregnant. That was until her husband entered their house with a mistress by his side and eventually demanded a divorce. "Very well," Amelie said calmly, "I will divorce you." Richard's eyes shone as he heard his wife utter these words. However, to his surprise, she was not done. "But don't be surprised when you get an invitation to my next wedding." To everyone's shock, Amelie indeed got married again, and to a younger and, as it turned out, richer man! And she made sure that her ex-husband realized what it meant to lose the support of a woman like her. _____ Important: FL is not a Mary Sue. Divorce happens in the second part of the novel so watch out for your blood pressure.
"This again?" Richard frowned at his assistant, leaning back in his chair and folding his arms at his chest. "I thought I told you to decline the invitation to Amelie's benefit. I have no business showing up at her place."
Ron took a moment to scrutinize Richard's expression and sighed quietly in relief as he caught a tiny twitch of hesitation. Deep inside, he really wanted to attend that gathering, simply because it would offer him a chance to meet his ex-wife once again.
Ron decided to cling to that chance like a hawk to its prey.
"Mr. Clark, I understand that you are utilizing your personal feelings in this matter, but I must remind you that a lot of your partners will be there, and I must admit that we need to be on their good side right now."
Richard shot the man a somewhat sharp glare, not happy with his bluntness, but he still had no choice but to silently agree with his words.
