Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 351

Chapter 351

Audrey’s POV

Blake noticed me ignoring him and subtly relaxed his expression. He took out his phone from his garbage-covered pocket and called Michael, explaining his location and situation. After putting away his phone, he attempted to get up from the oil-slicked ground.

But getting up wasn’t easy for him.

Due to the kitchen waste and grease, he kept slipping. Each attempt ended with him falling back into the mess. He didn’t make a sound, just grimly tried again and again.

I watched him struggle for a few minutes, torn between satisfaction and pity. Finally, I couldn’t take it anymore.

“Need help?” I set my phone down and stood up.

“Don’t come over!” His voice was icy. “I can manage.”

“Why are you being so stubborn? If your physical condition isn’t good, you should accept help.”

“Do you really think you’re invincible?” I asked.

The words felt strangely familiar as they left my mouth. A memory flashed – Blake, newly blind five years ago, bumping into furniture, refusing assistance.

His head snapped up, our eyes locking. For a moment, neither of us moved.

I broke the spell first, carefully picking my way through the garbage to offer my hand. Blake stared at it, jaw tight with reluctance.

“Take it,” I said. “Unless you’d rather wait in trash for your assistant.”

After a beat, he grasped my hand. As I pulled him up, our eyes met again, and something electric passed between us.

“BLAKE!” A shriek cut through the air. “WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?”

Startled, I let go. Blake wobbled, and I quickly grabbed his arm, steadying him against my side. Looking up, I saw Rebecca Parker charging toward us with Victoria Sinclair trailing behind.

“What did this woman do to you!” Rebecca, laser-focused on us, hit the slick patch at full speed. She went down hard, landing in the worst of the garbage pile.

“Mrs. Parker!” Victoria rushed forward, and then she slid too. She flew forward, landing directly on top of Rebecca with an audible thud.

“Get off me!” Rebecca shoved at Victoria.

Victoria scrambled to comply, accidentally elbowing Rebecca in the stomach.

“You did that on purpose!” Rebecca accused, finally managing to sit up. “You’re just like that worthless Audrey Sinclair from your family. Both of you are trash, both wanting me dead!”

ever wished Rebecca dead? If anyone had murderous intentions, it was the other way around.

A fleet of black SUVS pulled up nearby. Michael emerged with several bodyguards.

“Sir!” His eyes widened at Blake’s condition. “What happened?”

By now, we’d reached the bench. I helped Blake sit, then stepped back, wiping my hands clean.

“Just fell, Blake said, removing his ruined jacket.

Michael moved toward the overturned wheelchair, but Blake stopped him.

“Help them first,” he directed, nodding toward Rebecca and Victoria.

“Quick!” Michael ordered the guards. “Help Mrs. Parker and Miss Sinclair!”

Two men rushed forward, carefully extracting the women from the mess. The moment Rebecca was upright, she lunged at Victoria, slapping her face hard.

“You worthless girl!” She landed another blow. “Your mother said you really saw Audrey. I foolishly brought you here thinking you were helping me, and what happened? You’re working with Audrey to humiliate me!”
