NovelEnglishScarlett’s POV
I slid into the car, immediately grabbing my sanitizer spray. As | disinfected my hands, | turned to Andrew with a
frown.
“You know Audrey Sinclair?” | demanded. “You never mentioned this before.”
Andrew looked down, awkwardly smiling. “I didn’t know her before. We've known each other less than a
month...”
“How did you meet?”
Andrew fell silent for a moment. Finally, he sighed.
“Audrey Sinclair is the one who signed the agreement with Laurel to share medical information.”
| froze mid-spray, my eyes widening. “Audrey Sinclair is the woman sharing medical information with Laurel?
That
means...”
Andrew nodded. “She has late-stage gastric cancer. Less than two months to live.”
| sat there, completely stunned.
How is this possible? Audrey Sinclair dying of cancer?
But she’s always seemed so energetic... No wonder she agreed to divorce Blake so easily.
It all makes sense now.
| reached for my phone, finding Laurel's number. She needed to know this.
“Ma’am,” Andrew shouted.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| looked up to find him watchingintently.
“If you tell Miss Rose about Audrey Sinclair's identity... do you think she'll still let Blake arrange treatment for
her?”
His words hithard. My finger hovered over the call button.
“Harrison Clarke and his team arrive next week,” he added quietly.
My hand slowly lowered as | thought it through.
| only just learned that the specialist Blake arranged for Laurel's “cancer” is the sHarrison Clarke who woke
Blake from his
vegetative state.
| cto Dr. Evans hoping she could secretly arrange for him to examine Rachel while he’s here.
If | tell Laurel that patient is Audrey... With Laurel's jealousy, she’d immediately demand Blake cancel
everything.
Then Audrey would die without treatment, and Rachel would lose her chance too.

| set my phone down with a heavy sigh.
“I'm keeping this from Laurel for Rachel's sake,” | said firmly.
From the corner of my eye, | noticed Andrew's subtle relief.
Blake's POV
“Mr. Parker, | can’t thank you enough!” Victoria exclaimed, her hair a mess as she attacked her steak. “If you
hadn't helped me, I'd be begging on the streets after my wallet was stolen!”
| glanced up from my phone with a frown.
“Your sister wouldn't help you?” | asked flatly.
Victoria's face instantly hardened at the mention of her “sister.”
“Audrey Sinclair told us she’s cutting ties with our parents and with me!” Victoria fumed. “I saw the news about
your divorce and worried she might do something stupid. That's why I rushed to New York to find her.”
She stabbed her steak. “But she’s blocked our father's number and mine too. I've been here two days trying
desperately to contact her. And now my wallet’s stolen...”
She looked up atwith exaggerated vulnerability. “Blake darling, if it weren't for you, I'd truly be homeless.”
My eyebrows snapped together. | set down my phone and fixed her with a cold stare. “Who taught you to call me
that?”
Victoria bit her lip. “I saw people online calling you that.”
| frowned.
Laurel always callsBlake darling. I've never particularly liked it, but she insisted it sounded intimate, so | let
it slide.
When Laurel mentionsin interviews, she always uses “Blake darling.” Her fans have picked up the habit
online.
But they only use it on social media. No one would dare say it to my face.
Victoria is the second person after Laurel with the audacity to callthat in person.
“Callby my name,” | said coldly. “I am your brother-in-law, after all.”
Annoyance flashed across her face. “But you and Audrey are divorced. How does that make you my brother-in-
law?”
