Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO

Chapter 121

Audrey’s POV

Thalia’s voice stopped abruptly. Her eyes darted between Blake and Laurel as she realized what shed just read.

The silence that followed was deafening.

Laurel’s face turned pale, her hands curling into fists as she glared at me.

1 bit my cheek to keep from smiling. Minutes earlier, Thalia had been holding those rings, calling them cheap and tacky” when she thought Laurel had picked them out. Now that she knew they were from the dealership for Blake and his wife, I wondered if she’d suddenly find them elegant.”

Olivia coughed, “So, Laurel, I didn’t know you liked racing. That explains why Blake took you to Long Island Raceway last month.”

“Laurel’s just full of surprises, Thalia jumped in. She hurried to Laurel’s sid

and pushed the jewelry box into her hands. These rings are for you and my brother. They’re actually nice!”

Laurel took the box with a tight smile. “Yes, they’re… lovely.”

The crowd agreed, encouraged by her meanness.

“That’s right. Only someone like Miss Rose, born into privilege, would learn racing. How could Audrey know anything about it?”

“I heard she was so poor she worked multiple jobs through college. When would she have learn racing?”

face darkened.

“You don’t know anything about Audrey!” he shouted.

In an instant, all eyes landed on him

Blake raised an eyebrow, watching Felix with cold silence.

Alex grabbed his arm. “Felix, are you drunk?“

Felix’s frown deepened. “I…”

“Ethan! Before he could finish, I called out loudly, cutting him off.

By now, Ethan had changed out of his server uniform and stood before me in a clean gray hoodie with matching athletic pants, a backpack over his shoulder. “Audrey, I’m ready. Should we go?”
