Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 439

Audrey’s POV

Henry stared at Rebecca’s crumpled form on the floor. ‘How could she not know who fathered her child?”

I glanced down at the once-formidable woman now reduced to muttering incoherently. Against my better judgment, I felt a flicker of pity.

“Maybe she didn’t know herself,” I said. “Leo never cared for her. Their marriage was empty. That one night she got pregnant was probably their only time together.’

I watched Rebecca rock back and forth. “Now our DNA tests prove Thalia has zero Parker blood. Leo wasn’t her father.”

Henry’s eyebrows shot up.

“And that’s not all I told her,” I added. “When Leo took Blake on that cruise five years ago, he was meeting someone from Leonora Sterling’s family. He’d received a letter from the Australian Parkers.”

Henry studied me with fresh interest. “So beating Thalia was revenge on her, and breaking Rebecca’s mind was revenge on her?”

I nodded with a small smile. “Three years living with them taught me exactly where to aim.”

“You’re nothing like your sister,” Henry remarked.

My smile remained, but my eyes fixed on the wall ahead. “I used to be.”

Down the hall, Charles spoke quietly to a teary-faced Elizabeth while Henry and I stood in silence broken only by Rebecca’s muttering.

“What now?” Henry asked. “Staying to help with arrangements or going to see Blake?”

I hesitated, glancing toward William’s room before sighing. “With my current identity, I shouldn’t stay.”

“I’m officially the adopted daughter of Leonora Sterling’s sister,” I explained.

Henry let out a dry laugh. “Good point. William tore them apart and drove your adoptive parents out of New York. Your presence at his funeral would start talk that wouldn’t help anyone.”

“Exactly,” I said, trying to mask the bitterness in my voice.

‘Ill say goodbye to Mr. Parker,” Henry said. ‘Wait for me – we’ll visit Blake together.”

I pulled out my phone to text the driver, then sorted through work emails. Even with me gone from Sydney, my sister’s company Q-elegant kept running, and my inbox was flooded with
