Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 425

Chapter 426

Thalia’s POV

I rushed away from Rachel, my heart pounding. The missing suit worried me more than I wanted to admit. This wasn’t just about bad luck – something was

off.

Vincent sat in a corner scrolling through his phone. I grabbed his arm, my fingers digging into his sleeve.

‘What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice sharper than intended.

He frowned, then quickly softened his expression into that charming smile I loved.

“Just texting a friend,” he said, tucking his phone away. His eyes traveled down my tailored women’s tuxedo. “You’re wearing that to walk with Rachel today?”

I spun around, showing off my expensive outfit. ‘Like it?”

Vincent smiled, though it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “Looks great. Very you.”

I threw my arms around him and whispered in his ear, “Did you handle that thing I asked about yesterday?”

He raised an eyebrow, playfully pinching my nose. “Which one? You give me so many tasks, I can’t keep track without a reminder.

I pressed closer. “Astrid Wilson. I asked you to get rid of her. Did you?”

Vincent rubbed my back, his voice low and soothing. ‘Don’t worry. It’s all taken care of…”

I squeezed his waist tight, relief washing over me. “You’re the best! I already told Mom we’re getting married after Grandfather’s funeral. Once you’re my husband, she’ll put you in Parker Group. Sound good?”

He brushed his lips against my cheek. “Perfect. Can’t wait to make you mine…”

Audrey’s POV

I stepped out of the bathroom, drying my hands on a paper towel. What I saw made me stop short – Vincent kissing Thalia’s cheek with his eyes squeezed shut, looking like he was enduring a root canal.

A cold laugh escaped me. The man obviously couldn’t stand her but would tolerate anything for what she offered. Typical Parker relationship – just another soul sold for money and power.

My laugh, quiet as it was, echoed in the empty hallway. Thalia’s head snapped up.

“Who’s there?!” she demanded, pulling away from Vincent.
