[JUNE 2024 CUPID'S QUILL SILVER WINNER]

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.

"I was raised to be the perfect upper-class wife, groomed to excel and remain vigilant. All I knew was how to fake a smile, read, and work hard to ensure nobody dared to look down on my family. But in the end, that was exactly what made me boring and dull. 
So when my husband decided to divorce me, why did Liam fall in love with me instead?"

The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again!

Amelie's remark made Kyle feel even more embarrassed. "So you too know who I am? Wow, I'm flattered! And extremely embarrassed now. That was too much for this young man's heart."

Amelie was immune to his charms and only offered him a polite smile in response. The man continued. "Were you having a business lunch here? Good food, I like this place a lot, very suitable for important gatherings. Speaking of which..." He stood a little closer to her and added, "I have just finished an important gathering of my own and I heard something which you might find very interesting."

Mrs. Ashford was doubtful that someone like Kyle Marshall could know something that would be of any importance to her, yet she still wanted to hear him out. "Really? So what did you hear, Mr. Marshall?"

Kyle leaned over, getting even closer to Amelie's face, and whispered, "Someone started quite a rumor about Mrs. Elizabeth Gilmore. If I remember correctly, she is your friend, am I right?"
