Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 413

Chapter 414

Audrey’s POV

I nodded and followed the guys into Blake’s room. He was propped up in bed, eyes fixed on his tablet as Rachel’s interview played.

Blake watched with a blank expression, jaw tight. Three years ago, this betrayal would’ve crushed him. Now I saw something colder – calculation instead of

pain.

‘Blake. Felix grabbed the tablet, glanced at the screen, and snorted. “This clip again? Seriously?”

He shook his head. “Your fake fiancée’s little performance has everybody thinking you’re dead. The internet’s going crazy with it.”

Felix ran his fingers through his hair. “William heard the rumors too. My grandfather spent an hour talking him down until he showed him photos of you here. With his health so bad, who knows if he’d have made it through the night otherwise!*

Blake’s eyes hardened. “Die. Just like she wants.”
