Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 396

Chapter 397

Audrey’s POV

William and I cried together for what felt like forever. I held onto this old man who’d been more family to me than my own blood relatives.

When our tears finally dried up, William took a deep breath and looked at me with clear eyes. “I heard from Charles that your adoptive parents are Jeffrey and Eleanor Parker from Australia,” he said.

‘Yes.’

He let out a sigh. ‘When you go back to Sydney, stay there. Don’t come back to New York.

“Between the Australian Parkers and us… there’s bad blood,” he continued. “Twenty years of grudges and conflicts.”

He squeezed my hand. “It’s already remarkable they took you in despite everything. After I’m gone, cut ties with the New York Parkers. You understand?”

I bit my lip and nodded. “I understand.”

Relief washed over his face. “Good.”

It made sense now. Through Adrian’s earlier explanation, I finally understood the decades-long feud. My adoptive parents had taken me in despite their history with the New York Parkers. Once William passed, I’d have no reason to stay connected to any of them. Clean breaks were best for everyone.
