I... I’m fine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne said with difficulty, even giving her a brief smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his face was covered in alcohol and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked utterly wretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could he possibly be fine?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was furious. She snapped her head up to look at Walker Grant. \"Are you insane?! How could you do this to him?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant sat on the sofa, his long legs crossed, holding a delicate glass. His eyes had been fixed on her since the moment she walked in. He took in her furious glare as she questioned him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quirked his lip into a smirk. \"He wanted to drink. I didn’t force him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re shameless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And he has the nerve to say he wasn’t forced?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Just a moment ago, two bodyguards were forcing Miles to drink! He nearly drank himself to death!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed helped Miles Hawthorne sit down on the sofa and handed him a tissue. Then, she looked at Walker Grant. \"If you have a problem, take it out on me. Don’t drag innocent people into this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take it out on you? I couldn’t do that. I’d feel too bad for you,\" Walker Grant said softly, setting down his glass. \"Besides, he’s not so innocent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed suddenly recalled the words he had said in the CEO’s meeting room, and a chill spread through her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, I’m okay. Don’t be scared...\" Miles’s breathing had steadied, and he tugged on her sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How could Chloe not be worried about him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"You should go to the hospital for a check-up. I’ll go with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles shook his head. \"I’m working on a project with Grant Corporation, and one of my subordinates wasn’t entirely honest. I came here specifically to apologize to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you hear that? I didn’t force him,\" Walker Grant said, his gaze dark as he looked at her. \"Chloe, come here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chloe Reed ignored him, looking instead at Miles. \"So, are you done drinking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles’s gaze fell to the coffee table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There on the coffee table sat three more bottles of liquor, all of them high-proof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If he drinks all of that, something will definitely happen to him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed slowly straightened up. She refused to believe that Walker Grant hadn’t schemed against Miles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Miles helped her file for divorce, so now Walker was retaliating against him.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This was just an excuse.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ultimately, she was the one who had dragged Miles into this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So how could she let him suffer alone?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked at Walker Grant, her limpid eyes icy. \"If these bottles are finished, will you drop the issue with his subordinate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since he’d found an excuse, she would play along with it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s eyes darkened. \"Chloe, what do you think you’re doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s lip curled. \"Answer my question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant remained silent, but his face grew darker. A shadow seemed to pass over his features, and the air around him grew cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if he knew what she was about to do, Miles quickly said, \"Chloe Reed, don’t be a fool.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed turned her head, smiled at him, and said, \"I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her apology was sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She had gotten him into this mess.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she picked up a bottle of liquor and began to drink straight from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant shot to his feet, snatched the bottle from her hand, and slammed it onto the floor. The bottle shattered, splashing liquor everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you crazy?! You’re not feeling well, and you’re drinking?\" Walker Grant snarled, grabbing her wrist and yanking her in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyelashes fluttered violently. \"The mistake his subordinate made,\" she said, \"is it settled now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",614,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","05683d45dc4b73d03454dcb76e2a689e3564826cc6a2c200ff03bd4e669d88cc","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-237","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-174",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
