Bodyguards had already approached her, ready to force her into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her protests and tears were useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was suddenly filled with regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I should never have agreed to let Walker Grant and Chloe Reed marry in the first place.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Otherwise, the Grant family wouldn’t have ended up like this.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s all that little bitch Chloe Reed’s fault!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Grant was forced into the car and sent out of the country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce called Walker Grant shortly after. Her tone was somber. \"Walker, don’t you think you’re being a little too harsh on your grandmother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s tone was cold. \"Then maybe she should reflect on why she targeted Chloe and used such despicable tactics against her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce frowned. After a long moment, she said, \"But Chloe is fine...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you’d better not say things like that.\" Walker Grant’s voice grew even colder. \"You wouldn’t want to go and keep my grandmother company, would you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce: \"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s an absolute bastard.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was silent for a good while before suddenly speaking. \"You’re so ruthless toward your own grandmother, so why can’t you bring yourself to be harsh with your sister-in-law? Walker, tell me the truth. Are you really in love with her?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She saved my life,\" Walker Grant said, his tone tinged with a hint of resignation. \"If it weren’t for her, I would have died in that earthquake years ago.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judith Pierce said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was busy until noon. When she stepped out of the recording studio, she saw Dylan Finch standing not far away, looking in her direction with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression cooled. \"Do you need something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch replied, \"Mr. Grant would like to invite you to lunch. He also wants to discuss the matter concerning the family estate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed placed the script on her desk and asked, \"Has Madam Grant been sent away?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" Dylan Finch nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, I see.\" Chloe Reed gave a slight nod. \"Then lunch won’t be necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dylan Finch said, \"Understood. I’ll take my leave, then. Please let me know if there’s anything you need, Madam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s expression remained impassive throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I just wonder when the court date is,’ she thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw it was a call from Miles Hawthorne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello? I was just thinking about you,\" Chloe Reed said with a smile as she answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Miles Hawthorne froze for a second. \"Thinking of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was going to ask you when the court date is. Don’t get the wrong idea,\" Chloe Reed explained hastily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne laughed. \"You scared me for a second. I thought you’d already moved on and fallen for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He added, half-jokingly, \"Not that it’s out of the question, you know. I’m no worse than Walker Grant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed played along. \"Alright. Once I’m divorced, I’ll consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles Hawthorne coughed abruptly, clearly not expecting that response. He sounded a bit flustered as he quickly changed the subject. \"Right... anyway... I was calling to tell you that the hearing is in three days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyes lit up, and a smile unconsciously spread across her face. \"Great, I understand. You’ve really been a huge help this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold on, wait until we’ve won the case,\" Miles Hawthorne cut in. \"It’s too early for thanks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we’ll celebrate after we win, then.\" Chloe Reed smiled, clearly in high spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her work at the studio would be wrapping up in about a week, and then she could focus on taking care of her grandmother and building her own career.\u003C\u002Fp>",608,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","f23694d0214e04815cd3c437b82714bc5906759849a6af5589a51e640ba6fcf1","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-291","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-418",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
