Chapter 112: Insulting Amelia
With his tall frame and long legs, James quickly caught up with Mia.
He was about to speak, but seeing the anger written all over her face, he silently swallowed the words that had reached his lips.
Was she really this eager to divorce him?
After more than four years together, didn't she feel even a little reluctant?
Following behind Mia as they walked out of the marriage registration office.
James pushed down the bitterness in his heart, lowered his pride, and spoke in a gentle voice, "Mia, let me get the car and drive you home. Wait here for me."
James didn't expect Mia to respond anyway.
After speaking, he took large strides toward where he had parked his car nearby, covering the distance in just a few steps.
Hearing this, Mia's lips slowly curved into a bitter smile.
Home?
From the moment he betrayed her, Luxe Haven was no longer her home in her eyes!
She had no home again!
Mia pushed down the sting in her eyes and kept walking without stopping.
When James got in the car, he found that Mia hadn't waited for him and immediately drove after her.
"Mia, get in the car."
James rolled down the window as he caught up.
Mia didn't look at him or acknowledge him, just kept walking forward.
James could only slow down, crawling along beside Mia.
While watching the road, he tried to persuade her gently, "It's hard to get a cab around here. Don't let yourself freeze. Get in the car, okay?"
Mia was so sensitive to cold.
Watching her walk in the cold wind with her neck hunched, James felt his heart aching.
Seeing that Mia was completely ignoring him, James had no choice but to step on the gas, drive past her, stop the car in front of her, get out and walk toward her, reaching out to help her into the car.
Before his hand could touch her, Mia stopped him with a cold look. Her voice was icy as she refused, "Not necessary."
"James, in my heart, we're already divorced as of today."
The emotions that had been churning in the marriage registration office because they couldn't divorce immediately had calmed down in the cold wind.
Her mind was made up about the divorce, and it wouldn't change because of some so-called cooling-off period.
From now on, she would walk her own path alone.
James was no longer her companion on this journey.
After speaking, Mia coldly withdrew her gaze, ignoring James, and continued walking forward.
A few minutes later, Mia reached the next intersection, hailed an empty taxi, bent down to get in, and headed back to Luxe Haven.
All the way, a black Bentley followed steadily behind the taxi, until she safely went upstairs, then drove back to the company.
……
At the Smith Group, in the marketing department, Amelia was using powder to cover the finger marks on her face with a vicious expression.
Only after she finished covering them did her expression return to normal.
She called the logistics department to send someone to clean up her office, then picked up her coffee cup and walked out.
As soon as she left her office, she heard her subordinates gossiping about her.
"I always heard rumors that Mrs. Mia Smith wasn't good enough for Mr. James Smith, but seeing her today, that's not true at all. I think she and Mr. James Smith are perfect for each other.
Unlike Amelia, acting like a slut. Just because she's got some looks, she thinks the whole world revolves around her!"
"The look on her face when she got called a slut just now was priceless!"
Too many people in the company couldn't stand Amelia.
From her first day at the company, she had made it clear she had some unclear relationship with James.
Using her connection with James, she usually looked down on everyone with her nose in the air.
Even James's assistant Aaron treated her with respect, so naturally these employees without connections or status could only be angry but not dare to speak up.
"That bitch, Mrs. Smith went too easy on her with those two slaps. If it were me, I would definitely..."
"You would definitely what?"
Amelia's sinister voice sounded behind them.
Her eyes coldly fixed on the two subordinates who dared to gossip about her behind her back.
"Ms. Martinez, we weren't talking about you..."
One of the subordinates was more timid and immediately tried to apologize when she saw Amelia.
The other one was much tougher.
She hadn't dared to speak up before because Amelia was her supervisor and she was afraid of being targeted.
But now...
"What's there to be afraid of? I am talking about you. If it were me, I would definitely tear your face apart. Mrs. Smith was right, you are a slut!"
"If you're shameless enough to do such disgusting things, don't be afraid of people talking about it!"
"Shut up!"
The anger Amelia had been suppressing in her office was reignited by her subordinate.
She remembered again the humiliation she had just suffered from Mia!
She threw her coffee cup directly at them, venting all her anger on these tactless bitches in front of her!
"You're fired! Get out of the Smith Group right now!!"
"Get out! Leave immediately! And you, you, all of you get lost!"
Amelia pointed at each person who had just gathered to gossip about her.
Her attitude was extremely arrogant!
How dare they talk to her like that? Did they really think she was easy to bully?
The other person got angry too. If she hadn't dodged quickly just now, the cup would have hit her right in the head.
This woman was too arrogant and vicious.
"Fire me? We're so scared! But former supervisor, do you even have the authority to fire people?"
The HR department had already sent out the notice yesterday.
Strictly speaking, Amelia was no longer the marketing department manager, so what did she have to fear?
Amelia was clearly stunned.
Former supervisor?
What did this bitch who dared to challenge her mean?
"Amelia, don't tell me you don't know yet that you've already been fired by Mr. Smith!"
She had been fired?
Amelia's face instantly turned cold, her eyes like they were filled with ice.
What did James mean? Didn't he always say he kept business and personal matters separate?
He was actually making her leave the company?
No matter how intensely her emotions were churning inside, Amelia didn't show it in front of these people.
Her attitude remained arrogant, full of confidence, "Believe it or not, even if I'm not the manager anymore, I can still get all of you fired!"
Did they think all she wanted was to be a marketing department manager?
What she wanted was James's heart!
