My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 470:

Carrie opened her mouth to decline, but Camille interjected quickly, “Of course, we’ll be there. And we’ll bring our partners. Let’s hope your mature man doesn’t chicken out of attending something so public!”

Ailyn sneered, slinging her handbag over her shoulder. “Oh, he’ll be there! Unlike some people’s insignificant husbands, mine commands respect. And Carrie, if you’re tired of being married to a useless man, let me know. Cory can introduce you to someone who matters.”
