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.

Liam didn't get to finish his sentence as he noticed Amelie's expression darken.
She was staring at his chest, her gaze unfocused and somewhat distant.
Panic surged through him, and he gently cupped his wife's face, tilting it upward so she was forced to look at him again. Tears streamed down his face and he almost shouted, "Lily, I swear, nothing happened! She pulled me into her room, but she didn't do anything to me, and neither did I to her! You know I would never hurt you on purpose! I'm ready to do anything to prove it! I––"
His words caught in his throat as Amelie's warm hand reached up to his face, gently wiping the tears from his cheeks.
