His Ex-wife Is An Heiress (Amara and Tobias) novel Chapter 84

She glanced at the man with disgust. Don’t get her wrong, she didn’t hate men seeing and loving each, heck, she loved it, but it was the fact that Edward had a wife that disgusted her.

Closing the file, she handed it to Duncan and said. “I guess people like you, don’t like to be pleased by their woman.”

Edward’s eyes narrowed. “Excuse you?”

“Jasper won’t be coming back, not while I’m here, so I suggest you don’t that delusional thought of yours and fall in line, else, you’d be joining him in his little vacation.”

Edward opened his mouth, ready to retort, but Amara cut him short. “You may take your leave.”

Without saying another word, she turned and walked away, leaving behind Edward who didn’t look the least bit happy.

A humiliation like this, he could not accept and must do something.

Only then would they be even.

Melanie was glad when Amara called her, requesting they go shopping.

Amara had said she needed to go shopping for a new dress, but Melanie knew that was just her excuse to hang out with her.

So, without hesitation, she agreed to the shopping spree.

“An auction?” She asked as they walked into the mall, looking through the stores as they made their way deeper in.

“Yeah,” Amara nodded. “Maria wants the ‘Empress Heart’ necklace, and he wants me to purchase it and send it over.”

“Maria?” Melanie inquired.

Amara nodded. “Yes, she’s,” She paused, recalling that Lorenzo had not made his engagement public yet. Neither did Melanie know about her family’s background.

The thought caused momentarily guilt to swell in her chest. But she pushed it back with a smile.

“A childhood friend.”

“Huh? I thought I was your only childhood friend?”

“She goes way back. We lost contact after my parent’s accident. She only reached out a few months ago.”

“Oh,” Something about what Amara said didn’t settle with Melanie, but she chose to swallow it without questioning. “So, what type of dress are you going for?” She asked as they walked into the store Amara wanted to get a dress from.

The clerk at the store, instantly rushed to them, bowing as a form of greeting.

“Good day, Ma’am. What shall I assist you with today?”
