Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 103

Audrey’s POV

The cold laugh that escaped my lips wouldn’t stop. This whole situation was just too absurd! My mind flashed back to the message Ethan Davies had sent me just minutes ago:

“Found something. The online attacks? Coming from ‘Parker–Rose Studio. Got confirmation from someone in their troll farm.

Parker–Rose Studio. The name said it all. A joint venture between Blake and Laurel, created to serve their interests. So the vicious rumors claiming I’d cheated on Blake and terminated a pregnancy that wasn’t his–all of it came directly from them.

I leaned against the wall outside William’s emergency room, the fluorescent lights casting lights on us. Blake stood a few feet away, pretending to look concerned about the very online gossip he’d orchestrated.

When he caught me watching him, he lowered his voice. “The day you miscarried… besides the hospital staff, did anyone else know about it?”

The audacity nearly took my breath away.

“Why do you ask?” I kept my voice even.

“I’ve been investigating,” he said. “Mayo Clinic has strict privacy protocols. That surgical record shouldn’t have leaked from

inside.”

He leaned closer. “Tell me who knew about the miscarriage. I’ll help track down whoever’s spreading these rumors.”

I studied his face, searching for any hint of the man I thought I’d married. Nothing.

Had this calculating side always been there, hiding beneath the surface? I’d never caught it before.

The studio name might have told everything, yet here he stood, playing concerned husband. I wondered who his audience was supposed to be.

Blake’s expression darkened at my silence, his brow furrowing with irritation. “What are you staring at? Say something!”

“You asked who knew about my miscarriage that day, besides hospital staff,” I finally said.

He nodded impatiently.

“Okay, I tell you. Only you, Mr. Parker, and your Miss Rose.”
