His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias) novel Chapter 40

Side girl? Amara repeated in her mind, her eyes narrowing.

Bethany, however, looked a bit taken back. She glanced at Amara in a totally new light.

"Ms. Miller, I seem to have misjudged you."

Amara's eyes twitched when hearing how formally Bethany had addressed her. She briefly glanced at Jasper and caught him smirking.

That bastard.

"You did?" Amara said, not bothered by Bethany's reaction at all. "And how did you Misjudge me?"

"You're the president's special one, aren't you?"

Amara chuckled. "No, not at all."

"But Jasper-"

"Mr. Reynolds is simply saying what he has heard in rumors."

"So you're not the president's special one." Bethany confirmed.

"Of course not," Amara stated. "Society nowadays tries hard to slander divorcee, thus, I don't have time to engage in such activities."

"Divorcee?" Bethany repeated, a bit surprised.

Amara nodded. "Yes, divorced. I recently underwent a divorce with my husband."

Bethany's eyes saddened, feeling sympathy for the woman in front of her. She had no clue why she had assumed Amara was the president's special one, but the fact that the younger female was a divorcee had her sympathizing.

She knew exactly what it felt like to have her heart broken by someone she trusted and loved. She knew what it was like to feel betrayed.

"I'm sorry to hear that." She sincerely apologized and Amara nodded. "But, if I'm not being rude, may I ask why you divorced your husband."

For the first time, Amara took on a genuine expression. She smiled faintly. "We didn't love one another, so I couldn't continue living in a loveless marriage."

“Or was it because your husband caught you cheating.” Jasper mused, earning the attention of both Bethany and Amara. “Rumor has it,” He shrugged.

“Rumor has it?” Amara reached into her bag and pulled out her phone, flashing the ongoing recording in Jasper’s face. “Can you say that again?”

Jasper choked on whatever more he had to say and Amara smirked.

“What, didn’t you have a lot of confidence a few minutes ago? What happened to all that? Go ahead and show me more, that way, I won’t feel guilty when I’m turning this in for my lawyers to listen to.”

Jasper gritted his teeth as all his words died in his throat.
