The two of them rushed at Owen Sterling, pinning him to the ground and beating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’ll teach you to stick your fucking nose where it doesn’t belong!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m gonna kill you today!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed staggered to her feet. She stumbled to the door and was about to open it when, in the next second, it was pulled open from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s tall, lean figure stood in the doorway. She froze for a moment, then reached out and grabbed his arm. \"Get them. They were hurting me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was flushed, her hair was a mess, and her clothes were heavily wrinkled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The private room was in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant just glanced around the room before grabbing her and handing her off to Nathaniel Monroe, who was behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he walked straight in and shut the door to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, agonized howls of pain came from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe’s eyelids twitched as he listened. He said, \"It’s been a long time since Walker got this angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was terribly dizzy, but she still remembered Owen Sterling was inside. She went forward and pounded on the door. \"Don’t... don’t hurt Manager Owen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe steadied her. \"Chloe, just leave it be. Let me take you to the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"N-No...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was afraid Walker Grant would beat up Owen Sterling along with the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial curses and howls turned into painful pleas for mercy in just a few short minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door opened again, Walker Grant was surrounded by a violent aura. His sharp eyes were filled with an indescribable emotion, and his breathing was slightly heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him, the two men had been beaten so badly they couldn’t get up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owen Sterling looked just as battered, sitting on the floor, apparently still in shock from what had just happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s gaze went to Owen Sterling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the next second, she was swept up into someone’s arms, and he strode out of the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call the cops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant dropped two words, leaving Nathaniel Monroe to handle the scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being suddenly lifted made Chloe Reed even dizzier. She clutched his shirt, closed her eyes, and said with difficulty, \"Manager Owen needs to go to the hospital, too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s tone was unreadable. \"You want me to carry him there, too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’What kind of sick joke is this!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s not funny at all!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the hospital, an examination revealed she had inhaled a large amount of a sedative drug, which needed to be flushed from her system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was put on an IV drip right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant pulled over a chair and sat by her hospital bed. He watched her, his eyes veiled with a faint chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His stare made her extremely uncomfortable. She simply turned her head away so he couldn’t see her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to her surprise, he reached out, grabbed her chin, and turned her face back toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes snapped open, and she glared at him angrily. \"What do you think you’re doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said, \"Just wanted to see if you had any thoughts after insisting on getting a job, only to end up like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed sneered. \"Are you gloating? Are you happy to see me in such a miserable state?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant actually let out a laugh, exasperated. \"Chloe, if I wanted to laugh at your misfortune, why would I have bothered helping you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed turned her face away again. \"Did I ask for your help?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, he finally said, \"You’re right, I’m the one who insists on meddling. If I don’t, it’s like an itch I can’t scratch. It drives me crazy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s gaze lost focus for an instant. A sudden sour feeling pricked at her heart, and she closed her eyes again, suppressing the wave of emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would help her, and he would help Sunny Reed. In his heart, there was no difference between her and Sunny Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, what was there to cry about?’\u003C\u002Fp>",701,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","fbdf8c7210b3482b0f355bd68607386b59b85516d9f7d07f532e0da00d732ac6","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-144","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-422",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
