Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 395

Chapter 395

Audrey’s POV

“They’ve always been like this,” I said, watching the Parker family tear into each other.

They never have room in their hearts for the elderly. All they see is money.

Though I’d never met Blake’s father, both William and Blake had described Leo Parker, Blake’s father, as kind and gentle, just like William. It made me wonder how such a man could have ended up with someone like Rebecca.

“What gives you the right to demand so much money?” Elizabeth snapped. “The Parker family has given you enough these past years.”

Rebecca’s face turned red. “I gave birth to your brother’s heir!”

“My brother was already engaged to Leonora Sterling before you came along with your pregnancy story,” Elizabeth shot back. “You forced him to break up with her!

“You’ve been scheming against our family from day one. We only tolerated you because you gave the Parkers Blake and Thalia.”

She pointed her finger at Rebecca. “Father isn’t even dead yet, and you’re trying to take two-thirds of the inheritance. How shameless!”

“You don’t compare to Leonora Sterling, Elizabeth added with a dismissive wave. “Not even close.

Rebecca’s face twisted with rage. “Don’t mention that bitch! She’s dead!”

She lunged forward and grabbed Elizabeth by the throat. Thalia and Olivia rushed to pull them apart, but they just became part of the mess.

‘Leonora Sterling?” I whispered.

Adrian narrowed his eyes. “Leonora Sterling was Eleanor’s sister.”

I turned to him, surprised. “Eleanor’s sister… and Blake’s father?”

“They were first loves,” he confirmed. “Leonora and Leo Parker were New York’s ideal couple. They were engaged until Rebecca came along.”

“She slept with Leo and got pregnant, Adrian continued. “At the time, Leonora’s family was facing bankruptcy.”

“William wanted to preserve the Parker bloodline without getting dragged into the Sterling family’s troubles. He forced Leo to break his engagement and marry Rebecca instead.”

Then Jeffrey used his Australian business assets to save the Sterling family. He married Eleanor.”

Adrian sighed. “Leonora gave birth to a stillborn child after Leo married Rebecca. She died of heartbreak on Blake’s first birthday.”

“Eleanor couldn’t accept her sister’s fate. She pushed Jeffrey to launch an economic attack against the New York Parkers. When they were forced to leave the American market, they adopted Evelyn and took her to Australia.”

I stood silent, processing everything. Now I understood why my adoptive parents had looked so troubled when I mentioned New York. In their eyes, there probably wasn’t a single good person in the New York Parker family.

“Mom, Aunt, stop it!” Olivia yelled. “Everyone’s staring! They might laugh at you!”

Rebecca turned around. “Who’s laughing at me?”

She spotted us and froze. “What are you doing here?”

Chapter 395

Thalia glared at me. “Rachel told me grandfather collapsed after meeting you. You put him in danger, and you still have the nerve to show up?”

‘If anything happens to my father because of you,’ Elizabeth added, “you’ll be hearing from our lawyers.”
