Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 203

Audrey’s POV

I hesitated when James asked what happened, then gave him a watered–down version. No way I’d tell him Blake had me reported for prostitution. That was too humiliating. I just said the Parker family had been giving me trouble.

“That doesn’t sound like you,” James said, eyes flicking between me and the road. “You’ve never let the Parkers or Laurel get to you before. I’ve seen them pull way worse, and you barely blinked. What made this time different?”

I laughed once, hollow and dry. “Yes, he would.”

I closed my eyes and leaned back in my seat. “I’m tired. Need to rest.”

James took the hint and went quiet, letting me sink into my thoughts.

“Audrey, we’re here.”

I blinked awake as James’s voice pulled me back. When I looked out the window, my heart dropped like a stone.
