Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 164

Audrey’s POV

–

I watched Jennifer’s expression shifting constantly one moment panicked, the next furious. Her reaction only confirmed my suspicion that this was truly Rachel’s phone.

Just thinking about Rachel made my heart ache with a familiar pain.

Four years without a single word from her.

I’d dreamed countless times about seeing her again.

But instead of finding Rachel herself, I’d found her phone in others‘ hands.

I bit my lip hard, fighting back tears as I stared at Jennifer.

“Tell me where you got this phone,” I demanded, my voice barely steady. “Where is the phone’s owner? I need to see her!”

My mind raced with possibilities. If Rachel’s phone had surfaced, could she be back too? Maybe she’d recovered and returned to America. Maybe her family had brought her home.

Jennifer’s face went pale. After a moment, she took a deep breath,

“Miss Sinclair, I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said flatly. “This phone really belongs to me.”

“You’re still lying?” I snapped. “Even now?”

I pointed to the tiny diamond sticker on the back. “I put this decal here myself five years ago.”

I turned the phone to show the dent in the corner. “This damage happened when Rachel and I were messing around and it

fell.”

I stared her down. “How can you prove this is yours?”

Jennifer glanced past me, then started backing away while typing on her phone. I frowned, confused by her sudden retreat.

When she reached the counter, she snatched my repaired phone from beside the shop owner.

“You took my phone, so I’ll take yours,” she said, smirking.

I didn’t budge. That phone meant nothing compared to the connection to Rachel I now held in my hands..
