Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 349

Chapter 349

Blake’s POV

I watched as she frowned, staring at me without a hint of fear. “Are you here for revenge because I hit your sister?”

She pulled up her phone, showing me archived files. “I have proof Thalia’s been targeting Astrid for months.”

She opened her email and played a video. “When I saw them in the boutique, I contacted the store for security footage.”

“We both know Parker influence runs deep in New York. You can cover things up. But don’t forget, the Australian Parkers and Knox Corporation aren’t exactly powerless.”

“If you come after me for today, I’ll release everything – all the videos, all the evidence of your sister’s bullying. The world will see what the Parker heiress really does with her time.”

She held my gaze without flinching. “The power behind me is more than capable of following through.”

Watching her stand her ground like a cornered cat with raised hackles, I couldn’t help the slight curve of my lips.

She’d finally learned to protect herself.

Even if Thalia hadn’t called me, I already knew exactly what had happened. The bodyguards I assigned a month ago had kept me informed of Audrey’s every move.

When I got the news about her encounter with Thalia and Olivia, I was trying on wedding attire with Rachel. I’d brought Rachel to the mall entrance and asked her to go upstairs to intervene.

I didn’t send my men to protect Audrey when Thalia called security because I knew how hard she’d been training in Australia. I knew her capabilities better than anyone. That’s why I wasn’t worried, why I didn’t follow Rachel upstairs.

During our marriage, I always used the “she’s your sister-in-law” excuse to make Audrey tolerate Thalia and Olivia’s behavior. I even forced her to apologize to them.

Only after she left did I learn how badly they’d treated her. What I heard was secondhand, fragments of the truth. I know I didn’t get the full picture of what she endured.

I punished them by sending them to that school abroad, but that was my retribution, not hers. She was the one who suffered. Only by exacting her own revenge could she truly counter the pain they caused her.

She finally noticed my silence and the hint of a smile I couldn’t hide. “Mr. Parker, you

“Driver,” I cut her off, quickly composing my expression. “Take us to Northern Care Facility.”

“The care facility?” she asked, surprise replacing her defensive posture.

“You hit a Parker family member. Shouldn’t you apologize?” I turned toward the window, voice deliberately cold. “My grandfather’s at Northern Care. I’m taking you to apologize to him in person.”

She also turned away, staring out her window. “Fine. I want to see what kind of elder in the Parker family raised such an entitled brat.”

Her defiance caught me off guard. From my angle, I could only see the back of her head, but I sensed her subtle satisfaction.

I looked away, unable to stop the slight upturn of my lips.

–

Even with this new identity and improved physical condition, she remained herself at core the same gentle, kind-hearted woman who still felt deep affection for my grandfather.

The only difference was her newfound strength and independence. She could finally stand on her own.

This was good. I couldn’t give her happiness anymore – my disability saw to that. Let her find joy with another man. As long as she lived better than she had with me, I’d be content.
