Audrey's POV
“They've always been like this,” | 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 madewonder 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 calong 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

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 becpart of the mess.
‘Leonora Sterling?” | whispered.
Adrian narrowed his eyes. “Leonora Sterling was Eleanor’s sister.”
| 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 calong.”
“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.”
| stood silent, processing everything. Now | understood why my adoptive parents had looked so troubled when |
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?”

Thalia glared at me. “Rachel toldgrandfather 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.”
Rebecca snorted. “You'd better hope he’s alright.”
| couldn’t help the smile that spread across my face.
“You're all ridiculous,” | said. “One minute you're fighting over William's inheritance like he’s already dead, and
the next you're playing the devoted family. blamingfor harming him. Don’t you see how absurd that is?”
The Parker women’s faces darkened at my words.
Just then, the emergency room door opened.
“William is stable now,” Rachel announced, pushing Blake's wheelchair. “Thank God I got there in time.”
| instinctively moved forward to ask about William's condition, but Adrian coughed behind me. | stopped in my
tracks.
Rachel spottedand marched over. Without warning, she slappedhard across the face.
“How dare you chere?” she demanded. “Do you know William almost died because of you?”
