Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 432

Elizabeth’s POV

I watched Rebecca and Thalia’s humiliated faces with cold satisfaction. For years I’d trailed behind Rebecca, enduring her condescension while she played queen of the Parker family – all because my daughter wasn’t accomplished enough and my husband was useless.

But now everything had changed.

Blake wasn’t Rebecca’s biological son. This revelation was my chance to finally take what should’ve been mine. If he wasn’t Rebecca’s son, he couldn’t be Leo’s either which meant no Parker blood, no claim to Parker Group.

If I could discredit Thalia show everyone what a spoiled brat she truly was – then Parker Group would eventually fall to my Olivia.

Blake’s POV

I watched Elizabeth take the stage, her concerned expression barely masking the calculation in her eyes. She clearly believed that because I wasn’t Rebecca’s biological son, I couldn’t be Leo’s either – just some random baby Rebecca had grabbed to maintain her lie.

If only she knew.

Both as a child and adult, Leo had personally taken me for DNA testing. Each time the results confirmed our connection, disappointment flashed across his face.

When I asked him why, he’d said quietly, “I just thought… if you weren’t my son, I could finally tell your grandfather he was wrong.”

Back then, I couldn’t understand why my father would wish I wasn’t his. Now, I realized each test was a moment he was thinking of Leonora Sterling – the woman he truly loved, and became my father’s eternal wound.

I never understood his devotion until ten months ago, when I heard Audrey had died. Then I finally understood what losing the only woman you’ve ever truly loved feels like.

Elizabeth kept ranting about Rebecca and Thalia, oblivious that I saw through her act. This wasn’t about Grandfather. This was about power.

When she finally ran out of steam, Rebecca stepped forward, shielding Thalia.

“Yeah, my daughter’s not perfect, Rebecca said coldly. “And sure, I’ve influenced her badly.”

She smirked. “But you’re hardly the one to judge us about respecting our elders, right?”

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.

‘Or did you forget what you said about your father dying? Your plans for his money?” Rebecca pulled out her phone and played a recording.

Elizabeth’s voice filled the venue: “Dad doesn’t have much time left. You and Thalia should spend these days with him. Olivia and I aren’t feeling well, so we

Then, more callously; “After the old man dies, not a penny goes to outsiders. You’re his daughter-in-law, I’m his daughter – we split his money equally.”

The audience gasped.
