Chapter 40: Weak Spots

The quiet sound of the car engine was almost soothing. Amelie leaned back in her seat, letting the subtle smell of leather wrap her in its comforting embrace. She looked at the moving view outside the car window while Anna's fast fingers typed something on the laptop she was balancing on her knees. 

Finally, the stillness inside the car was shattered by Amelie's quiet voice, "So what did the lawyer say?"

Anna immediately stopped typing at looked at her boss, adjusting the round black frames on her face. 

"Mr. Berg said the same thing everyone else said before him, Mrs. Ashford. Your share in this marriage is equal to the prenuptial agreement. If you initiate the divorce, then you will only be left with just a little over three percent of the company shares and settlement money; everything else will remain in Mr. Clark's possession. That includes the Emerald Hotel too."

Amelie let out an almost inaudible sigh and shifted her eyes back to the car window.
