Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 415

Audrey’s POV

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.”
