He stared at her for a long while before finally asking, \"Why do you want the Reed Group to pull its investment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She’s an adopted daughter. What right does she have to the Reed family’s money?\" Chloe Reed said bluntly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant averted his gaze. \"Let’s eat first. I’ll consider what you said after the meal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed looked at him suspiciously. \"It’s such a simple matter, and you still need to think about it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Chloe, in what capacity are you bringing this up with me?\" Walker Grant’s expression softened, returning to its usual mildness. \"I only listen to my wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed gave him a cool look, her bright eyes filled with scorn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we divorced yet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed didn’t hold back, picking up her chopsticks and starting to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really was hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The court hearing is inevitable, and our marriage will be dissolved sooner or later. So, what’s the harm in humoring him for a bit? It’s no loss to me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant watched her with a heavy gaze. She was completely unfazed, having retracted all her thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still felt the distance between them growing ever wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed paid no mind to his inner turmoil. Once she’d had her fill, she looked at him. \"Have you decided?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant had agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He agreed because he figured that if he didn’t, she would find another way—one that could introduce variables he couldn’t control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like how Miles Hawthorne’s sudden intervention had made Doctor William change his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s lips curved into a smile. \"Good.

His voice was heavy. \"Chloe, stay with me a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go to the hospital and be with my grandmother.\" Chloe Reed pulled her hand free and left the office without a backward glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant watched her leave, and that feeling of being out of control washed over him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He loathed this feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat in his office for a long time before finally getting up to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was in a good mood as she walked out of the Grant Group building.

How much is this going to cost me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chloe Reed smiled and said, \"It’s okay, it’s not a big deal. You can go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she unlocked the car, opened the driver’s side door, and started to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next instant, the sanitation worker, who had been squatting the entire time, suddenly sprang up and swiftly clamped a hand over Chloe Reed’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, pungent odor assaulted her nostrils. Chloe Reed struggled for only a few moments before her eyes fluttered shut and she lost consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sanitation worker bundled her into the back seat and then slipped into the driver’s seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the car slowly pulled away, the expressions of two hidden bodyguards changed in an instant, and they immediately followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them called Walker Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Grant, something’s happened to your wife!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",696,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","87a92b3fd41112b2af1f5621117eeca1c37211b29bc6a8021785c7482cf7deca","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-269","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-267",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
