Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387

Audrey’s POV

His words wrapped around my heart like a vise.

I took a deep breath, meeting his gaze. He looked just like he had five years ago when I’d pulled him from that beach – desperate but determined.

If Evelyn was truly on that yacht – if she really saved Henry Hartford – she wouldn’t have kept quiet about something so traumatic. She would’ve told someone. Maybe Adrian and the Australian Parkers did know something after all.

“Okay,” I said finally. “I’ll help look for evidence.”

Blake opened his mouth, but Adrian stepped between us.

“Enough, Mr. Parker,” he said sharply. “My wife already agreed to help. Stop harassing her.”

Rachel appeared beside Blake’s wheelchair. “He was just asking questions about something from five years ago. How is that harassment?”

“How is it not?” Adrian countered, placing his arm around my shoulders. “Don’t you find it strange your fiancé showed up at our hotel? He was probably waiting to play hero when we arrived.”

“But with his disability, heroism’s inconvenient. So I stepped in.”

He turned to me. “Which was more impressive – my flying kick that took down that girl, or Parker’s rescue attempt?”

I had zero interest in Adrian’s games, but we needed to maintain our cover. I forced a smile. “You were definitely more impressive. That kick was so satisfying to watch.”

Blake’s POV

I closed my eyes, trying to block the pain.

She might just be maintaining her cover with Knox. I understood that intellectually. But hearing her praise him while dismissing my effort still cut deep.

“They make such a lovely couple,” Rachel said. “Even if someone wanted to come between them… it would be impossible, right?”

‘Are you trying to warn me off?” I asked coldly. “Telling me not to interfere in their relationship?”

“That’s not what I meant,” she backpedaled. “I just think they look good together – ”

‘Rachel.” My voice dropped. “We both know exactly what our relationship is. In this arrangement, you don’t have the right to criticize or manage me.”

I turned to face Knox and Audrey. “That’s enough. Miss Hayes has made her point. As for the online plagiarism allegations against Mrs. Knox, I’ll have them cleared up.

‘No one will bother you in New York again,” I assured them. “Hartford keeps a low profile. I’m sure neither of you want unnecessary attention.”

“You guarantee no one will bother us?” Adrian asked skeptically.

I nodded.

“What about you, Miss Hayes?” Adrian turned to Rachel. “Will anyone else try to harass us?*

Rachel hesitated. “I… don’t think anyone will hurt you.”

Chapter 387

“Rachel and her sister are remarkably similar, Audrey suddenly said, her voice cold. “Both expect Mr. Parker to clean up their messes.”

The air around us seemed to freeze. Rachel stared at Audrey, caught off guard.
