My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 12 It seemed unlikely that someone with her lifestyle could have independently earned twenty million.

And if she had the means and ambition to earn that much, why would she settle for a marriage of convenience for just two million?

Oliver, with a quick, regretful gesture, bowed his head.

“I apologize, sir.

It was my oversight.

I’ll look into Mrs.

Norris’s financial activities immediately.”

Albin, smirking, nudged Elijah lightly, his voice filled with mockery.

“Elijah, don’t tell me you got dumped! I’ve always said, women need affection! If you neglect them too long, they’ll look elsewhere… And now, here you are, tangled in complications.”

He stopped abruptly as he caught the coldness in Elijah’s stare.

Only then did he realize that Sandra was still present.

Albin glanced at Sandra, noticing that her smile had stiffened slightly.

“Sorry!” he exclaimed, playfully slapping his forehead and making a show of zipping his lips.

Sandra turned her attention to Elijah, her fingers gently wrapped around his arm, her expression one of empathy.

“Did I somehow cause your wife to misunderstand? I can clear things up with her if you’d like.”

A deep furrow appeared on Elijah’s brow as he frowned.
