You really did me a huge favor this time!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne chuckled. \"As long as the old lady is fine, that’s all that matters. It wasn’t a big deal, so don’t worry about it. Aren’t we friends? Friends are supposed to help each other out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was incredibly grateful. \"Can I get another eight or ten friends just like you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne: \"...What for? Are you wholesaling them now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed laughed. \"Thank you, seriously. I’ll definitely repay you for this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sounded exceptionally earnest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Miles Hawthorne said nonchalantly, \"It’s really no big deal. But if you really feel that bad about it, then how about doubling my agency fee? No problem, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed agreed in a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a weight off her mind, and no longer needing to be threatened by Walker Grant, Chloe Reed’s spirits soared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, she sat by the hospital bed, an unstoppable smile gracing her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the hospital room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant leaned against the wall, listening to the conversation inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Miles Hawthorne?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Miles Hawthorne helped her?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He has that much pull? How come I didn’t know about it?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s gaze darkened. ’Looks like there’s something going on here that I don’t know about.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone vibrated a few times. He answered the call and strode to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch’s voice came through. \"Mr. Grant, I had someone hack into Doctor William’s phone and computer. We found an overseas email from this morning, but it’s already been deleted, and the sender’s address was wiped clean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant raised an eyebrow slightly. \"So you’re saying you found nothing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch fell silent for a moment before saying, \"...Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s eyes were pitch-black, as if shrouded in a dangerous light. \"Put a few people on William. And... look into who Miles Hawthorne has been in contact with recently.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, sir.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant hung up and went straight back into the hospital room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment she saw him, the smile on Chloe Reed’s face vanished instantly. Knowing he wouldn’t drop the lawsuit, she didn’t bother to hide her feelings anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing back here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said, \"We aren’t divorced yet, are we? That makes your grandmother my grandmother. I came to see her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you feel disgusted just saying that?\" Chloe Reed sneered. \"Have you forgotten you were just using this to threaten me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was out of options,\" Walker Grant admitted with complete frankness. \"Chloe, I don’t want a divorce. I didn’t know what else I could do to keep you, so I used whatever I could.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed: \"...You really are brazenly shameless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was cold. After speaking, she didn’t look at him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant pulled over a chair and sat beside her. He wasn’t angered by her cold treatment; his gaze simply fell on her from time to time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence was too strong to ignore. Chloe Reed frowned and said, \"Can you get lost? You’re here, disturbing my grandmother and me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker Grant said, \"Grandma is resting just fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, his phone started to vibrate. She immediately shot him a look that was half a smile, half a sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Something’s come up. Isn’t he going to leave now?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant glanced down at his phone. Seeing it was a call from Judith Pierce, he furrowed his brow and answered, \"Hello, what is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the voice on the other end was Noah’s childish one.\u003C\u002Fp>",609,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","a10bdda23f542846c52e54a95db4218689d157eda2824f083a2a29d17815629d","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-118","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-262",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
