Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO
Chapter 200
‘Sir, how is Miss Sinclair? What happened with the blood? Is something wrong with her health?”
“Nothing’s wrong with her,” I snapped.
I recalled Dr. Evans’s earlier explanation: “Just a stress reaction. She has bleeding gums, so the blood isn’t as alarming as it looks. She’s been resting here and seems fine now…”
Something about her manner had seemed off. Her explanation sounded rehearsed, with hesitations that suggested she wasn’t being entirely truthful.
The thought that I’d mobilized thousands of people to search for someone who was perfectly fine made me want to punch something.
“If she’s okay, that’s a relief,” Michael said. “With Miss Rose’s gastric cancer already causing you stress, if Miss Sinclair were
also – ”
“Who gave you permission to compare her to Laurel?” I cut him off.
Laurel was gentle and kind. And Audrey? Just a cold, ungrateful person who talked about loyalty but showed none.
Michael cleared his throat. “Now that you’ve found Miss Sinclair, perhaps you should visit Miss Rose? She’s receiving IV fluids at Twilight Mansion, quite upset about her missing phone.”
I nodded, then recalled something. “That night when we reported Audrey, you were waiting outside the hotel?”
“Yes, sir. You said you would go to the hotel yourself, and I was worried you wouldn‘ near the entrance… Why?”

“Audrey saw you that night,” I explained. “She thinks I stationed you there to take compromising photos of her when the police brought her out.”
Michael’s eyes widened. “That’s a misunderstanding! Should I explain things to her?”
I shook my head. “No point. She wouldn’t believe you anyway.”
She didn’t trust me. No matter what explanation I gave, she wouldn’t believe a word.
“Any word from Original Studio today?” I asked, changing the subject.
Michael shook his head. “George says they still haven’t been able to contact that designer, Rachel Hayes.”
I tugged at my tie in frustration. “Teli Original Studio that if this designer doesn’t show up by this afternoon, we’re canceling the collaboration.”
Audrey’s POV
The moment Blake stormed out, my body betrayed me. The room spun, and I tasted blood rising in my throat.
“Audrey!” Ethan rushed to my side as I swayed. “Dr. Evans, is she going to vomit blood again?*

Dr. Evans hurried in, pressing a tissue to my lips. “What are you doing, getting worked up again? You were just starting to
recover!*
She shook her head. “You were married to Mr. Parker, Couldn’t you have spoken to him more calmly?
I wiped the blood from my mouth and managed a weak smile. “If I hadn’t gotten angry… would he have left so quickly?
Dr. Evans gave me a long look. She sighed, handing medication to Ethan with instructions.
“Was it really necessary?” she asked as Ethan helped me take the medicine. “Mr. Parker seemed genuinely concerned. Did you have to bring up the past and drive him away?”
I shook my head. “He doesn’t care about me. If I hadn’t mentioned that night, he would have taken my friend’s phone for his precious Miss Rose.”
Though I’d backed up all the content from Rachel’s phone, the device itself was just as important to me. It was a tangible connection to Rachel – a physical reminder of our friendship. The content was Rachel’s life story, her perspective on the
world.
Even knowing that Blake would eventually force me to return the phone to Laurel, I wanted to keep it with me as long as possible.
Dr. Evans gave me an enigmatic look. “Actually… Mr. Parker’s visit might not have been about the phone at all.”
