Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 216

Blake’s POV

I set down my wine glass and looked at Victoria.

“My divorce with your sister is temporary,” I said flatly.

Victoria’s eyes widened. “Temporary? You mean you’re going to remarry her?”

“Yes.” I gave a slight nod. “Eventually.”

If the divorce hadn’t become so public, I never would have signed those papers. The media attention, Audrey’s insistence it created a storm I couldn’t control. But I still saw our separation as a pause, not an ending.

“But why?” Victoria’s fork clattered against her plate. “After everything she’s done? Audrey only married you for your money! Why give someone like that another chance?”

I studied her face, suddenly connecting the dots.

“How exactly do you know what Audrey’s motivations were?” I asked, eyes narrowing. “You’re suggesting she doesn’t care

for me?”

Victoria scoffed. “Of course she doesn’t! She never has.”

She leaned forward, suddenly smug. “Mr. Parker, there’s something you probably don’t know.”

“Two years ago, my parents and I came to New York. We brought our luggage to stay for an extended vacation.”

Victoria paused to gulp her wine, then continued with a slight hiccup. “Audrey was our only family here, so naturally, we came to your place.”

Her eyes gleamed. “But your precious wife kicked us out in the middle of the night!”

I kept my expression neutral, but my mind was racing.

“She told us she married you for your money,” Victoria continued. “She said there was no love between you, that even like her. She admitted she had to walk on eggshells around you.”
