The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!
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.
Make Amends
"What should I do for a response, Mr. Clark?" Ron waved the glossy invitation for this year's Christmas benefit, watching as Richard poured himself another glass of whiskey.
"Nothing, we are not going. Make sure to tell Samantha that."
"Are you certain? They still sent an invitation..."
Richard sighed, rubbing the temples of his head in an attempt to relieve some tension. "It was just a formality. Amelie... If I were her, I would have sent an invitation to my mortal enemy simply because it's the right thing to do. But we can't attend. Not after what happened at the Castillo beach house."
"Then... what about the cause itself?" Ron understood his boss' logic but the annual Christmas benefits were quite a big deal for high society and even though it was clear that not many people would miss the presence of the Clark family, simply dismissing such an event seemed like a mistake.
