Chapter 802 You Canât Divorce Now
âWhatâs going on with you?â Queenie said, a look of disbelief on her face as she regarded Amelie. âCan you please keep it down a bit? If this gets out, itâll be so embarrassing for me! My movie is about to hit the theaters, and I just signed with Excellence Entertainment. You and Dad canât mess this up for me. You canât divorce now, at least not yet!

âJust wait a bit. If you rush to be Markâs wife, people are going to blame you for his wifeâs death. Lilyâs parents are still around, and they come from a respectable family. If they get even a whiff of something between you two, itâll be a nightmare for both of
you.
âMom, have you lost your mind re not thinking straight!â
Queenie was already on edge, her anger flashing in her eyes.
Amelie felt the weight of those words. The thought of a divorce made her uneasy.
If she went through with it, she would be left with nothing.
After all, Mark might not even value her once he had her.
She had nothing to her name, and even if Lily had some skills and a strong family, she still ended
up dead.
Amelie wasnât naive. She wanted to marry Mark, but she also knew how reckless and arrogant he was. He wouldnât appreciate her after he got her. He had plenty of all

father. As for Mark, I know exactly who he is. Once Iâm him, the novelty will wear off. The more elusive I am, the more heâll crave me. If I keep him on his toes, itâll work to my advantage. I slept with him today and secured us a business deal. Tomorrow afternoon, Iâll take you to meet our partners.â
At the mention of profit, Queenieâs face lit up.
âMom, you really are the best!â she said, her eyes sparkling with mischief
As long as her mother stood by her, she would always be good to her.
âThanks, Mom! If everything goes well tomorrow, Iâll get you a designer bag you love,â she promised.
Amelie yearned for a life of luxury. Designer clothes and highâend handbags were her greatest dreams.
She laughed and patted Queenieâs hand, feeling a sense of relief. âItâs settled then. Iâll text you at four tomorrow. You meet the partners at the agreed spot. For now, Iâll head home and charm your dad. I need to smooth things over first.â
âSounds good! Mom, Dad has put up with so much for you. When you get home, pick up some of his favorite food, and maybe grab a couple of nice outfits. Heâll forgive you, especially since he has his flings.â
That last comment resonated with Amelic, giving her a newfound confidence.

âDonât worry. Men who are all about money are the easiest to handle. Itâs the emotional ones that are tricky; once they fall in love, they become impossible to sway,â she remarked, walking

As Queenie sank into the sofa, she felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her. Suddenly, she found herself thinking of Paula, missing her unexpectedly.
When she was ill, Paula would skip work to take care of her, cooking and buying her the best clothes and shoes every season.
But now, her mother seemed completely absorbed in men, hardly paying attention to her.
Queenie sighed, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. Was this what she deserved for abandoning Paula?
