The divorce is just a matter of time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swaggered in and sat down directly across from Walker Grant. \"So you know Whit. What terrible taste he has, tsk tsk!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant remained unfazed by the provocation. His jet-black, almond-shaped eyes watched Daniel coolly. \"Are you responsible for protecting Chloe now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right. What of it? You got some pointers for me?\" Daniel Hayes watched him, wondering, ’Why did he want to see me?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s voice was placid, every gesture radiating a refined, aristocratic grace. As he looked at Daniel Hayes with indifference, an invisible pressure began to fill the room, making one’s heart feel inexplicably heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care who you work for. Since you’re protecting Chloe, you will protect her with your life. And one more thing, you’re to tell me everything that happens around her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes felt the pressure, his heart tightening for a moment, but he still retorted, \"And why should I listen to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lucas Shaw transferred the favor you owe him to me. So, you will listen to me.\" Walker Grant’s voice turned colder. \"I won’t hurt her, and I won’t allow anyone else to hurt her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes clicked his tongue. \"You’re pretty full of yourself, acting like you’re some devoted lover. If that’s true, why is Miss Reed divorcing you? Was all that devotion just a sham?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s between me and my wife.\" Walker Grant’s tone became even colder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This Daniel Hayes... he just keeps provoking me.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But he’s the one Lucas Shaw recommended. He should be trustworthy.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes took out his phone and dialed Lucas Shaw’s number. \"Hey, Whit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Daniel, have you met Walker Grant yet?\" Lucas Shaw’s teasing voice came through the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have. What’s going on? You’re telling me to listen to him?\" Daniel Hayes demanded, his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh-huh. Listen to him for now, but you can be selective about it,\" Lucas Shaw said with a smile in his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Walker Grant frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, I get it.\" Daniel Hayes laughed, finally feeling a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Walker Grant.\" It was as if Lucas Shaw knew he was there, calling him out by name. \"Daniel Hayes has his own way of doing things; you can’t interfere. He’s not your bodyguard. He’s not just protecting Chloe Reed because I told him to—he’ll listen to Chloe herself above anyone else. Her grandmother sponsored him when he was growing up. That’s a debt of gratitude none of us can compete with. So, you can give up on whatever you’re scheming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, he was being serious. \"If you really love Chloe Reed, then clean up that mess with Sunny Reed for good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he hung up the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes chuckled lightly. \"Whit is a reasonable guy, after all. Mr. Grant, your usual routine won’t work on me. However, out of respect for Whit, I’ll give you updates on her when I see fit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shadow fell over Walker Grant’s face, and his voice turned colder. \"If you won’t work for me, why should I keep you by her side? Just to cause trouble for myself?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Daniel Hayes’s face faded. \"You want to replace me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant pulled out a cigarette and lit it. The ember flared, and thin white smoke slowly curled upwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes grew even more remote. \"That depends on whether or not you’ll listen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Daniel Hayes’s face vanished completely. \"If you were that capable, why would you need to ask Whit for help in the first place? Mr. Grant, I don’t believe you can replace me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",632,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","73f9c9becf96032e81c71c459b5dbced3b44b46b657e7d5ddcf6e9b80c2428fe","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-415","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-414",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
