Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363

Audrey’s POV

“Damn right I’m happy. Teaching entitled brats a lesson would put anyone in a good mood.” I spotted a maple leaf on the path and picked it up, twirling it between my fingers as I walked.

“Let me guess you’re calling to make me apologize to your family?”

‘Well I won’t. I hit them and I’m not sorry about it. If Parker Group wants to come after me or Knox Corporation because of it, bring

it on.”

The line went quiet before Blake finally spoke. “I never said anything about retaliation.”

I kept walking, sunlight filtering through the leaf in my hand.

“Mrs. Knox, Blake sounded tired. “They’re all demanding I make you pay. Rachel and I have been trying to calm them down. After causing this much trouble, don’t you think you should say something?”

I stopped dead in my tracks. “Wait – you’re not asking me to apologize to them?”

“I saw the security footage. They cornered you first. Why would I ask you to apologize?”

I couldn’t hide my surprise.

“Do you really think I can’t tell who’s in the wrong?” Blake asked.

I wanted to say yes, that’s exactly what I thought. For three years, he’d never once taken my side against his family. But I bit my

tongue.

“No, of course not,” I lied. “I just assumed since they’re your family, you’d automatically take their side.”

‘I’m not holding you responsible for what happened,” he said. “But there seems to be a misunderstanding between you and Rachel.”

‘I’d like to invite you and Mr. Knox to dinner tomorrow night. Partly to smooth things over between you two.”

“And I want you to show Rachel how to care for my grandfather.”

“What?” I nearly crushed the leaf in my hand.

My mind raced. Why would he ask me to teach someone else how to care for William? Anyone with basic human decency could figure out how to keep an elderly man company. Besides, William was Blake’s grandfather – shouldn’t he know what the old man

needed?

But then I pictured William in that hospital bed, confused and alone, thinking his beloved Audrey had abandoned him. My chest tightened.

“Fine. Adrian gets in tomorrow morning. We’ll come together.”

I hung up without waiting for his response and kept walking.

Chapter 363

I stared at the security monitor as the dial tone buzzed in my ear. She stood motionless for a moment after hanging up, then wiped her face. Was she crying? Or just brushing something away?

She started walking again, faster now, toward the main gate. The lightness in her steps was gone.

I’d killed her good mood.

A knock interrupted my thoughts.

“Blake?” Rachel sounded exhausted. “I calmed down Elizabeth and Olivia, but your mother and Thalia are still demanding blood.”
