Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 398

Chapter 399

Rachel’s POV

Everyone in the hallway glared at Blake for interrupting, with Rebecca looking particularly pissed off.

I bit my lip, wondering why he’d cut William off at such a crucial moment.

God, I’m just as anxious as Rebecca about William’s inheritance announcement. When he decided to leave everything to Audrey, I was still in my coma. Laurel came to my hospital bed afterward and bitched about it for hours.

Now Audrey’s gone, but William thinks I’m her. The old man might actually leave everything to me. If I got my hands on all that money… my mother and stepfather wouldn’t dare look down on me.

The Rose and Hayes families would have to treat me like their precious little princess – exactly how they treated Laurel. Hell, it would be the one good thing Audrey ever did for me.

I couldn’t stop a small smile from forming.

Thalia snapped at Blake, “Seriously? Grandfather’s about to say something important and you interrupt? Whatever you have to say can wait.”

Blake checked his phone before explaining, “A verbal will announcement or livestream isn’t legally binding. We need a notary and lawyer present.”

“I’ve already called the company’s chief accountant to bring them over,” he added, glancing at his watch. “They should be here any minute.”

Thalia’s irritation instantly transformed into fawning admiration. ‘Blake! You’re right about making it official. None of us would have thought of that!”

Audrey’s POV

I stood back with Adrian, keeping my phone steady as 1 livestreamed William and his family.

Mayo Clinic isn’t downtown, it’s at least a good drive from the city center. For Blake to arrange the accountant and lawyers to come here… that takes planning.

Just for the chief accountant to grab the files and drive over would take an hour minimum. Which means over an hour ago, when William was still fighting for his life in emergency, Blake was already making these arrangements.

I always thought only Rebecca, Elizabeth and the others were after William’s money. Never occurred to me that while they were squabbling in the hallway, Blake was watching his grandfather being resuscitated and simultaneously making calls to handle the estate…

I glanced toward Blake. His face remained blank, but his eyes had regained that sharp focus I remembered from before.
