Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 415

Audrey’s POV

“What do you think? Rachel’s cold laugh cut through the phone.

I lowered my voice. “So Emma and Blake getting hurt that was your doing?”

*Mrs. Knox, why do you always think the worst of me?” She didn’t deny it. “I mean, come on. I wouldn’t hurt a four-year-old kid or my future husband the day before our wedding.”

I stayed quiet, waiting her out.

“I’m heading to the police station to ID Blake’s body,” she said, voice turning playful in a way that made my skin crawl. “Aren’t you even going to check on your daughter?”

“Look, Rachel continued when I didn’t respond. “I know you don’t want to see me. Fine. Just courier Blake’s phone to Parker Group. As his widow, I need to

handle his stuff.”

“Send me the phone and you can keep pretending your kid’s alive. Whatever helps you sleep at night.”

Her voice sharpened. “And quit with the bullshit about giving the phone back to Blake. His body’s literally at the morgue. How exactly would that work?”

‘Don’t mess with me. This is New York. You and Adrian don’t stand a chance.”

The call ended with a sharp click.

I raised an eyebrow and turned to Blake. “She wants your phone.”

“Take it,” he said, handing it over immediately.

I turned the device in my hand. “She’s after your contacts and business connections?”

Blake nodded. ‘She wants Parker Group. Thinks she can step into my shoes and be the female CEO everyone admires.”
