His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias) novel Chapter 23

After what Amara dimmed as her grand show, she turned on her heels, gave Tobias one last nasty look and walked away, feeling more satisfied than ever.

As she left, Fiona managed to pull herself out of the pool. Then she leant a helping hand to Celestine who was not pleased by the way the entire situation had turned out.

When she fell into the pool, what she had in mind was for Tobias to scold Amara, detest her even more. At first, it seemed like that was working, but then Amara being, well Amara, went ahead and busted her bubble.

Celestine couldn’t have felt more angry when she saw the smile on Amara’s face as she tossed the money at them.

Who the hell did she seriously think she was? The daughter of a billionaire?!

How dare she throw money earned from selling her filthy body at them and call the dresses they had customized to perfect, trash bag?!

The more Celestine thought about it, the more angry she got. She wouldn’t have noticed how her finger nails were drawing blood from the skin of her palm, had Fiona not spoken.

“That pompous bitch,” The younger model sneered as she glared in the direction which Amara had walked off in. “She thinks she’s the shit because she has a sugar daddy who can afford her every wish, doesn’t she?”

Celestine agreed silently, but rather than showing her true nature, she chose to play saint.

"Let us welcome Mr. Lorenzo, the representative of the Crawford family. Thank you for gracing my gala with your presence." The host's voice compelled them to return to the ballroom. But their voices caught in their throats when they saw Lorenzo leading Amara onto the stage, hand in hand.

Amara was with the Crawford family's representative?! How did she manage that?!

Celestine noticed Tobias's pallor, his fists clenched tightly, while she gazed enviously at Amara.

She was just an orphan, how could she attract so many accomplished men!

"She must be a harlot!" Fiona spat angrily.

"Enough!" Tobias shot Fiona a furious look, equally incredulous as them. Why was his ex being fawned over by so many outstanding men? What had he missed?!

"You shouldn't have stopped me from revealing your identity. Did you not see Tobias's face?" Lorenzo disapproved in the luxury car. "I'm certain he regretted his actions when he realized you're about to become his rival."

Amara shook her head. Lorenzo had not introduced her identity at the gala per her request, despite his intention to help her business. Upon seeing Tobias with his sister, she didn't want to cause further drama, especially since she wasn't ready to disclose her deeper ties to the Crawford family.

Her phone suddenly vibrated with an incoming message.

This was enough to pull her attention away from the window. She looked at the screen and frowned upon seeing that it was an unknown number.

But nevertheless, she accessed the message.
