A Matter of Wife and Love novel Chapter 14

Jodie hated to be humiliated in public, but she could not retaliate because she was on Starlight Media’s turf.

They obviously could arrange things however they wanted, and if she continued making trouble, she would not be able to get an out.

“Mommy, let’s go.” She no longer had the mood to explain, so she asked Melissa to leave with her.

On the other hand, Amelie pursed her lips nonchalantly and acted as if nothing had happened.

Not long after, Leo and Elyse came and took the seats right next to Amelie.

“That woman… Isn’t she Amelie?” Someone finally recognized Amelie and asked in a low voice.

“Isn’t she married to Young Master Leo? But why…” Even though Amelie had been living in seclusion for the past four years, the incident where she cleared up Elyse’s cheating.

She clarified the matter by telling everyone that she and Leo had separated peacefully and that Leo and Elyse were an item and were preparing to get married still more or less left a profound memory.

The bystanders’ eyes were wandering between Amelie, Leo, Elyse, and Blake, and they smelled the scent of gossip like sharks would scent blood.

“Thank you for your concern, but Leo and I have already divorced,” Amelie stood up to clarify in a poised manner.

She did not want Blake to feel as if he was currently in a relationship with a married woman.

Leo had always been expressionless, but he frowned, and his face darkened the moment he heard Amelie’s clarification.

He felt Amelie was showing off that she got another man just after a divorce.

Amelie noticed Leo’s facial expression, but she could not care less.

Instead, she lowered her head and continued discussing the auction with Blake.

The auction started soon after the interlude.

As the auctioneer lifted the red cloth to reveal the final item, Elyse whispered to Leo, “Leo, I want that diamond tiara really bad.” The diamond tiara was the most expensive item in the auction tonight, and Amelie had wanted it for a long time! She had always been obsessed with the dream of wearing a diamond tiara and holding a grand European wedding with the person she loved the most.

Although this dream was shattered, her desire for a diamond tiara remained.

When Elyse said she wanted the tiara, her eyes were actually fixated on Amelie, and she was wearing a provocative expression.

Elyse must have noticed Amelie’s expression when the diamond tiara was shown and wanted to snatch it away from Amelie. This Elyse… She had an affair with my husband.

Now, she’s having thoughts about the diamond tiara that I have always wanted. But, of course, Amelie would not give up so easily.

So, when Elyse held the placard up, she followed suit.

“8.1 million! 8.2 million!” The auctioneer continued announcing the latest bid price on the stage.

The starting price of the tiara was already relatively high.

So, it was expected that only Elyse and Amelie were doing their bidding.

Well, the fact that the two were trying to bid on the same diamond tiara, coupled with how their relationships were entangled, the people around them started to feel as if a drama was brewing, and they all exchanged meaningful looks.
