She scrambled to find the medicine and gave it to Madam Grant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, some color returned to Madam Grant’s face, but her expression remained grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker said, \"Fainting for real won’t help you. I do what I say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the maid. \"Pack all of Madam Grant’s things. She leaves the day after tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to arrange the asset transfers tomorrow, so he couldn’t leave just yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You bastard! You animal! Why wasn’t it you who died back then!\" Madam Grant glared at Walker with utter revulsion. \"Julian was such a good boy, but his fate was so cruel. If he were still alive, he would never treat me like this! He would have been a good, filial son, and he never would have defied me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker’s lip curled, and his eyes grew even colder. \"Too bad my older brother is dead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a curse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Grant burst into tears. Loathing both Walker and Chloe, she pointed at them and began to curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Walker walked over to Chloe and took her hand. \"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe had watched the whole scene unfold as if it were a play. She pulled her hand free, her tone mocking. \"Your grandmother is about to keel over from anger, and you still want to leave with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker’s deep, dark eyes were fixed on her. \"Yes. I’m going to be reviled for this, Chloe. You can’t abandon me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah!\" Chloe let out a cold laugh. \"What do your problems have to do with me? If anything, I was the one who got set up because of you. Do you think I’ll just let it go because you did all this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gloom clouding Walker’s features deepened. \"What more do you want?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A divorce,\" Chloe said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker’s tone was just as resolute. \"Chloe, I will never agree. Not in this life, and not in the next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last trace of a smile vanished from Chloe’s face. She turned and walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This man is insane!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Grant family is in complete chaos, and he still won’t divorce me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Does he want me to be the one everyone points their fingers at and curses?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is so frustrating!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind outside cleared Chloe’s head a bit. She heard footsteps behind her and said calmly, \"It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. The court hearing will be soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gaze fell on a nearby cobblestone path. A small smile suddenly touched her lips. \"Back then,\" she said, \"when I was forced to kneel on that path, you saw it. What were you thinking at that moment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’And now he’s acting like he’s so in love with me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It was just laughable.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe...\" Walker watched her, his gaze heavy, his voice a little hoarse. \"I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn’t matter anymore.\" Chloe’s tone was light. \"When I loved you, I would have fought with you, demanding an answer, demanding you show me how you felt. Now that I don’t love you anymore, none of those things matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She strode away. At some point, another car had pulled up to the main gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A burly, broad-shouldered man was in the driver’s seat. He gave Walker a quick once-over and let out a derisive snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t say a word, but his meaning was clearer than any words could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It expressed one thing and one thing only.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man like that wasn’t worthy of Miss Reed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Mrs. Sutton’s granddaughter deserved the best man in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And clearly, this man wasn’t it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe got into the car. \"Back to the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You got it!\" Daniel Hayes replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car shot forward, leaving the man far behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes glanced in the rearview mirror. \"Miss Reed,\" he said, \"I took care of a couple of tails while I was waiting. Were they sent by that guy back there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe gave him a surprised look. \"You took care of them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",688,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","4b1dafeaf89c7e29400ab094e41cc02c6d6f9d29e3e5e0cde6e9fe310f076586","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-409","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-408",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
