Audrey’s POV

I narrowed my eyes, a mocking smile touching my lips. “I wasn’t planning to accept William’s assets. Taking care of him

was just my duty as his daughter–in–law. After divorcing Blake, I shouldn’t use that for gain.”

I let out a short laugh. “But since you’ve already decided I’m after William’s money, and no one will listen to my explanations…”

“Mom…” Thalia turned to Rebecca, her voice small.

“Useless!” Rebecca glared at her daughter. “You make everything worse!”

Then she stormed out without another word.

Thalia stood frozen, her face a picture of devastation. She glanced around the room, then stamped her foot and ran after
