Blake’s POV

Laurel froze in my arms. Her gaze immediately darted toward her mother, a silent exchange I nearly missed.

She lowered her head and sniffled, her voice softening. “Blake darling, don’t you always say you dislike when I cry too much?”

stole it and had me beaten.”

Audrey clutched her phone protectively against her chest. “Are you mentioning photos again because you’re planning something for this phone too?”

Laurel turned toward Audrey, keeping her back to me. Her voice became small. “Miss Sinclair, how can you say such

things?”

“Breaking your phone was an accident, and what happened this morning with Jennifer has been investigated, hasn’t it?” she continued. “I know you must feel bitter that Blake darling plans to marry me after divorcing you, but you shouldn’t
