Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 344

Audrey’s POV

Astrid’s fingers clamped around my wrist just as I was about to turn and face Thalia.

“Evelyn,’ she whispered.

‘Don’t,” she murmured. “Since Thalia got back from that boarding school, she’s different. More dangerous.”

“I can’t hide forever,’ I said quietly. “And neither can you.”

I gently freed my wrist from her grip. After all, I’d already died once. What more could Thalia Parker possibly do to me?

As I took a breath and turned, a familiar voice cut through the tension.

“Thalia, Olivia! What brings you here?”

Rachel stood at the boutique entrance, her expression carefully neutral.

Thalia spun around. “Rachel? What are you doing here?”

Rachel walked in. “Shopping with friends. It’s been a while.”

Thalia’s face hardened as she glanced between us. “Shouldn’t you be preparing for your wedding? My brother wouldn’t appreciate you wasting time with… these people.”

‘I’m still me, wedding or not,” Rachel said. “Even after I marry Blake, I’ll only answer to him and the elders. As his sister, you don’t get to dictate who I spend time with.”

Olivia stepped forward. “Careful, Rachel.”

“Remember Audrey? Perfectly healthy when she married Blake, terminal cancer three years later. Think we had something to do with that?”

She smiled. “Want to be the next Audrey Sinclair?*

The store went quiet. I could feel everyone watching as Rachel paled.

I couldn’t help it – I laughed. The sound sliced through the silence.

“So you two are that powerful?” I asked, still facing away from them. “Capable of giving someone terminal cancer?”

“I wouldn’t say we killed her,” Thalia scoffed. “But that bitch’s illness definitely had something to do with how we treated her.”
