Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 374

Audrey’s POV

“Audrey was my wife,” Blake said as he handed the first aid kit to Adrian. “I have an obligation to help right the wrongs she

suffered.”

I stared at him, genuinely shocked. During our three years of marriage, whenever Rebecca or Thalia humiliated me, I secretly hoped Blake would defend me. He never did. Not once.

When I’d cry telling him about their treatment, his solution was tossing me a credit card – “Buy yourself something nice.” As if shopping could heal that kind of hurt. And now, ten months after my “death,” he suddenly has this epiphany? Suddenly cares about how I was treated? What a joke.

Adrian positioned himself between us, blocking my view. “Defend your dead ex-wife all you want. I’ll take care of my living wife.”

Blake just nodded to Michael. “Get this glass cleaned up.”

A staff member pushed past Victoria while clearing debris. “Move aside, please.”

She stepped on glass and screamed. “Blood! Mom!”

Richard immediately snapped, “My daughter’s hurt! Where’s the first aid kit?”

When the employee pointed our way, Richard lunged for the kit in Adrian’s hands. “Give me that! My daughter needs it!”

Adrian held firm. “Mr. Sinclair, the woman bleeding in front of me is also your daughter.”

Richard paused, looking at the glass in my leg. Blood had already soaked through my pants.

“It hurts!” Victoria wailed from across the room. “Is it in my bone? Am I gonna be crippled?”

That did it. Richard grabbed the kit. “She’s not my daughter! Victoria is the only child I care about besides Audrey!”

“Don’t try selling me this twin sister bullshit. My wife had one baby. One. I’ll sue you for making up these lies!”

Something in Adrian snapped as he directly punched Richard, who crashed to the floor, bandages scattering everywhere.

Before anyone could move, Adrian was on top of him, fist connecting with Richard’s face again and again.

“You think Evelyn never knew about you?”

“She found out she was adopted as a teenager. She investigated you both.” Another hit. Blood sprayed onto Rebecca’s dress, sending her scrambling backward.

“She knew exactly how you abandoned her and what you said! Every detail!”
