His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias) novel Chapter 8

"...All the recent accusations and allegations against me on posts are lies and slander. I hope you, as my esteemed fans, can ignore these malicious and unprofessional accusations and continue to support my future entertainment career. Thank you for your understanding."

The next morning, Amara listened as Melanie read out Celestine's response to the intimate photo online. She felt disgusted at how naive and noble Celestine sounded, but she was even more furious at Tobias' attitude. When Melanie first suggested providing the photo of Tobias and Celestine to the gossip papers, she hesitated because she only wanted to divorce Tobias, not ruin his business.

But the situation had changed. Since Tobias refused to divorce her, she had to give him a warning.

"This is all nonsense," Melanie said angrily, looking up from the newspaper. "How can she lie so naively to those people? She's the troublemaker. If anyone is innocent here, it's you, Amara."

Amara focused her attention on her computer screen again. Since agreeing to take over her grandfather's company, her inbox had been flooded with financial reports from the London branch, which she had to review before next Monday. She had to do this; she didn't want to lose the bet and walk into another failed marriage.

"Are you even listening to me?" Melanie asked in a concerned tone. "Fuck! Celestine's out there playing the victim, and she even got Labyrinth to speak for her. Look! They issued a statement promising to make those spreading false information pay."

"Melanie, don't worry," Amara said, looking at Tobias' face on the screen. She had consulted lawyers, especially since the photo was sent from Tobias' own computer. No one knew she had been a computer prodigy since childhood, effortlessly hacking into Tobias' computer and using his email to send the photo.

She believed no one could trace it back to her.

"So, you're not going to respond to them?" Melanie asked doubtfully.

Amara shook her head. "No need, I've already done enough. Soon shareholders will question Tobias' true marital status. To quell the negative impact of deceiving the public, I believe Tobias' PR department will suggest he find me and continue playing the loving couple."

"Then what?" Melanie pressed. "You're not really going to be merciful to the shameless couple, are you?"

Amara shook her head. "Of course not, but I'll use this as leverage to force Tobias to sign the divorce papers."
