Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 419

Audrey’s POV

No one answered. They just stared at me with confused expressions, exchanging uncomfortable glances. My heart pounded harder with each passing second

of silence.

An elderly man with white hair finally stepped closer, squinting at my phone. He studied Astrid’s picture carefully, then shook his head.

“Don’t think it was her, but it all happened so fast,” he said. “Everything was chaos…”

I asked several more people, but got only shrugs and blank looks. Nobody could tell me anything useful.

The white-haired man thought for a moment, then pointed down the street. “The mortuary van went that way. Probably to the funeral home in Lower Manhattan. If you’re worried, you should head there now while you can.”

I bit my lip, thanked him, and hurried to flag down another taxi. Every second felt like eternity as I clutched Astrid’s bloodied necklace.

*Manhattan South Funeral Home,” I told the driver. “Hurry, please.”

Inside the taxi, my entire body shook. I gripped the necklace so hard my knuckles turned white, the metal digging into my palm. Sweat soaked my hands as panic swelled in my chest.

My heart felt like it was being roasted over an open flame. Even when I was diagnosed with terminal cancer, I hadn’t felt this desperate.

*People said a girl died on the spot and was taken to a funeral home,” I continued, fighting to keep my voice steady. “I’m heading there now.”

“Can you check the cameras? I need to know if it was Astrid who…” I couldn’t finish.

“Astrid’s tough.
