Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 171

Audrey’s POV

The surveillance video ended with Blake’s car racing away from NYU, Black SUVs chasing close behind. The screen went black, leaving us in silence.

William leaned forward, eyes fixed on the dark screen. “That’s it? Nothing more?”

“We left the campus, and the cameras couldn’t follow,” I said with a slight shrug.

William let out a sigh. “You couldn’t have taken a few more laps around campus? Give me something more to watch.

“Grandfather!” Blake cut in, shooting me a glance. “If we’d stayed longer, she might not be here now.”

“I’m not that fragile,” I said, rolling my eyes at him.

If not for yesterday’s accident, Blake might have already discovered my illness. If he’d convinced William that I needed to

go to the hospital, my cancer would be impossible to hide.

With that worry in mind, I quickly shifted the focus away from my health. “William, the campus cameras don’t show

everything. But there’s more about what happened after we left NYU.”

I clicked away from the surveillance footage and pulled up a news article. The headline was bold and dramatic: “Coastal

Highway Closed After Major Accident – 2 Dead, 12 Injured!”

Below it sat a photo of Blake’s mangled sedan on the beach, alongside burned–out SUVs.

William’s eyes widened as he stood up. “This accident… was you two?”

He immediately was at my side, grabbing my hands and checking me for injuries. “Audrey, are you okay? Were you hurt?”

His genuine concern touched me. In three years of marriage to Blake, William had given me more family feeling than the
