Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 353

Audrey’s POV

“That burn scar…” Rebecca’s smile widened as she stared at my exposed elbow. “I’m not wrong, am 17”

I said nothing, my hands clenched into fists where no one could see them.

The memory hit without warning. Three years ago, I was getting ready for dinner at the Parker mansion with Blake. I’d found a different tie for him, not knowing it was Laurel’s gift. Blake exploded. Called me thoughtless. Said I didn’t respect his things.

He stormed out, claiming he needed to work late.

I went to dinner alone. William’s presence kept things civil, but he left early due to his health. Then Rebecca, Thalia, and Olivia pounced. They spent hours telling me how perfect Laurel was for Blake. How I was just keeping his seat warm.

I sat there taking it until I finally broke. “Your son’s marriage is between us,” I told Rebecca through tears. “Not yours to decide.”

That’s when she grabbed the pot of scalding soup and dumped it on me. I dodged most of it, but some caught my elbow.

Blake didn’t come home for two weeks after that. Never answered my calls. As if I were the one who’d done something wrong.

I glanced at Blake now. He was staring at my arm, his expression unreadable. This was probably the first time he’d seen this scar up
