Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 437

Chapter 438

Audrey’s POV

I twisted free from the distracted guards and stumbled back several steps.

Thalia lunged at me but caught nothing but air – I’d already moved out of reach.

Astrid rushed from the elevator, grabbed my arm and pulled me behind her, shielding me with her body.

Audrey! You okay?” Her voice was tight with worry.

I never expected Astrid to find me here. After all the crap she took from Thalia while I was gone, she still rushed in first, protecting me with her slender frame.

Maybe I wasn’t a complete disaster with relationships after all.

At least I had Astrid – someone who actually gave a damn about me.

Thalia’s face turned an ugly shade of purple beneath the swelling. “Astrid Wilson! Ruining my day again?” She spat the words out. “Forgotten what it felt like when my people pelted you with rotten eggs? Because I haven’t.”

She stepped forward. “I can make everyone hate you all over again. Think I’m bluffing?”

Astrid didn’t flinch. A cold smile spread across her face. “Is that so?”

“You’ll pay for that,” she hissed, touching her cheek. “Both of you!”

She turned to the security guards. “Don’t just stand there! Grab them! NOW!”

Her voice rose. “The old man’s dead! Blake’s in a coma! I run this family now I’ll destroy you two bitches!”

The guards exchanged uncomfortable glances before slowly moving toward us.
