Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 433

Blake’s POV

‘My necklace, my necklace…”

Scarlett Rose crept toward the stage, fixated on something amid the fighting women. She spotted a ruby necklace on the floor, now broken into pieces with its center stone completely shattered.

Her face twisted with horror as she collapsed onto her knees. She frantically gathered the fragments, oblivious to the sharp edges cutting into her fingers.

Rachel noticed her mother and rushed over. “Mom, stop! You’re bleeding!”

When Scarlett looked up at Rachel in her wedding dress, her expression shifted from shock to rage. She shoved Rachel away violently.

“This is all your fault!” she screamed.

Rachel stumbled backward, reaching for my chair to steady herself. I moved it slightly, just enough that her hand found nothing.

She crashed to the floor, her wedding dress billowing around her. Looking up at me in disbelief, she waited for me to acknowledge what I’d done.

I glanced down at her with a cold smile. “Serves you right.”

Before Rachel could stand, Scarlett pounced on her, pinning her to the floor.

“Worthless!” Scarlett shrieked, tearing at Rachel’s hair and ripping her dress. Her hand cracked across Rachel’s face. “I always knew Laurel was better than you! That’s why I let her take your place as Blake’s savior!”

My interest peaked. So Rachel had been behind Laurel’s deception all along.

“But that bitch Audrey ruined everything!” Scarlett continued, landing another slap.

Rachel tried shielding herself as Scarlett unleashed years of disappointment.

“When you woke up, you promised you’d be better than Laurel!” Scarlett grabbed Rachel’s hair. “What did you accomplish? Nothing! You couldn’t keep your man! You screwed up the kidnapping!”

She shook Rachel hard. “You swore everything would go smoothly! You said after the wedding, you’d run Parker Group!”

Each word Scarlett spoke added to the evidence I was collecting.

“If Laurel hadn’t died in jail, you think I’d have given you this chance?” Scarlett dug her fingers into Rachel’s chin. “I gave away that ruby necklace to secure your position! Now Blake’s divorcing you, the necklace is destroyed, and I have nothing!”
