The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 90

90 I Trust You 

“Mrs. Ashford,” the tall man in a black suit stopped her on her 

way out of the bathroom and looked her up and down, paying special attention to her hands which were empty and slightly damp from water. ” 

Kyle caused quite a weird situation with his lie and although he still managed to successfully hide the phone in Amelie’s bathroom, he had to leave the house in a rather embarrassing manner, mumbling some ridiculous excuse about how he simply wanted to joke 

around. 

Amelie went back into her room and heard the lock 

twisting with a particularly sharp sound. She then sat on her bed, pulled the phone out of the pocket of her bathroom robe which she was wearing inside out, and sighed. 

‘He was so confused about this whole situation that he 

didn’t even notice that my robe was inside out.‘ 

With another brief sigh, she unlocked the phone and indeed saw a message notification icon on its screen. 

[Miss Ashford, please reply to this message once the

phone is in your hands.] 

Amelie felt as if she was in a low–budget and very cliche spy movie; her lips curled into a wild smile. 

[The phone is now in my hands, Mr. Bennet.] 

The reply didn’t make her wait too long. 

[Hmm… How can I be sure it is really you? What is the name I gave you when you first asked me what you should call me?] 

Now, Amelie couldn’t help but laugh. Even though she was locked in her own room, exchanging messages brought back pleasant memories of them talking in the same way when she didn’t even know it was Liam. 

[Captain Pantalloons.] 

[It IS you, Miss Ashford! What a relief! How are you doing? Do you think we can have a call? Is there someone listening to you?] 

Amelie shifted her eyes to the door for a moment. The mansion was rather old so the walls were very thick, therefore, the possibility of the security guard overhearing her was almost non–existent. 

A distant ringing sound was already echoing in her

ears when she realized that her finger pressed the call 

button on its own. 

“Miss Ashford!” Although Liam was excited, he took precautions and refrained from talking loudly. Amelie appreciated his effort. “Hello, Mr. Bennett. Thank you for getting me this phone, I have been going insane.” 

“What is going on? Is everything alright? Are you hurt? Are you ill? Are you being mistreated there?” 

Another chuckle escaped Amelie’s lips; Liam’s worried tone was very endearing. “I am fine, Mr. Bennett, please don’t worry. Richard thinks I am having an affair with you and he believes that I have been giving you confidential information regarding JFC, that is why he locked me here.” 

“Damn it…” The man’s voice trembled for a moment but he quickly regained his calm. “Miss Ashford, it will be alright. You just have to trust me that I am already working hard to make things right for you. Since the situation has become this drastic… Some things will have to be rushed. But it is going to be over soon, I promise.” 

Amelie could discern quite a lot of sadness and

frustration in the man’s voice but it only proved how serious he was. She couldn’t really believe it yet; 

Richard was struggling to get rid of her while Liam was working hard to make her his wife. 

It was strange. 

“I trust you, Mr. Bennett,” she finally answered him in a quiet voice and heard a relieved sigh on the other end 

of the line. 

“Good. I’m glad. Text me anytime, Miss Ashford. I will be there for you.”

“Are you ready?” Richard entered his wife’s bedroom and examined her appearance. 

Today was the bi–monthly meeting with the finance and legal departments that Richard and Amelie had to attend together. The previous evening, he instructed her that she would be joining him as well because there was something very important that needed to be discussed. 

‘With all the fake news he spread about my being sick, 1 am surprised he allowed me to leave this mansion 

today I guess 

The things he wants to discuss are

really that important.‘ 

She had already guessed it. With the legal department present during this meeting, Richard must have finally decided to announce that their marriage was about to 

end. 

Not to her face. Not privately, like other people did. No, he wished to leave her no chance to harbor even an ounce of respect for him. Coward. Pathetic. 

‘He still has no idea that I already know that he wants 

to divorce me. I wanted to tell him today but I think there might still be a better chance to do so. If this will give me another opportunity to sting him, I’ll gladly do 

so.‘ 

To Amelie’s surprise, the meeting’s agenda had nothing new about it. They discussed the financial issues at hand along with the legal matters concerning the subsidiary companies that needed their contracts revised. The only thing she found weird was the company’s position on the stock market. 

Amelie was confused. 

‘Why did he bring me here then? Just for appearances? He could have still had everyone believe that I was sick
