She drove slowly down the road. Outside, the night was as dark as ink, the streetlights casting a dim, yellow glow. The light inside the car flickered, illuminating her expressionless face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, her gaze fixed on the road ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The \"surprise,\" of course, was Sunny Reed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had left the bedroom and gone straight to Judith Pierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had done all she could. The rest was up to Judith Pierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Judith Pierce must have already spoken to Sunny Reed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sunny Reed would never have refused.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She had been subtly stringing Walker Grant along all this time. Wasn’t it all for a day like today?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pressed her lips together, an emptiness blooming in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’How long has it been?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Half an hour...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Judith Pierce had prepared the drug. It was bound to be potent. Half an hour was more than enough for things to happen.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed picked up the water bottle beside her and took a sip, trying to calm her nerves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headlights flashed in her rearview mirror. A car shot past her at high speed, then screeched to a halt right in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed slammed on her brakes, her heart sinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did it fail?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, two more cars pulled up from behind, boxing her in on either side and blocking any chance of escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she realized that at some point, this entire stretch of road had been cleared of other cars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting in her car, Chloe Reed felt a strange chill rise from the soles of her feet, slowly enveloping her entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A third car stopped behind her, followed by the SLAM of a door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s eyelashes fluttered. She glanced up at the rearview mirror, and her pupils contracted when she saw the streak of blood winding down the man’s left arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was backlit by bright headlights, casting his face in a hazy, dim light. He looked like a demon rising from the depths of the night, his features flickering in and out of view, glinting with a sinister, malevolent light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if the blood in Chloe Reed’s veins had frozen solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It really... failed.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But how could this have happened?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Sunny Reed wouldn’t have made a sound, and she even wore my perfume. Between that and the drug, Walker shouldn’t have been able to tell...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As her thoughts raced, Walker Grant reached her car. His voice came through the glass, muffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed felt a stab of fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned to look at him and saw that half of his white shirt was soaked in blood. There were even splatters of it on his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stain was especially dark on his left arm, where the blood had bled into a large patch. In the darkness, the color seemed deeper, more terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His handsome face remained placid, but his sharp, almond-shaped eyes held a strange light as they gazed at her, filled with both grief and hatred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice grew heavier as he repeated her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s heart clenched. She squeezed her eyes shut before opening the car door and stepping out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A light breeze drifted past, carrying the metallic scent of his blood to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tilted his head slightly, studying her intently, as if he’d never seen her before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed avoided his gaze and asked softly, \"What is the meaning of this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s the gift?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant asked, his tone deceptively light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed’s breath caught in her throat. She looked up at him. \"I already gave it to you, didn’t I? Don’t you like it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe Reed!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant lunged forward, grabbing her by the throat and pinning her against the car. His dark, almond-shaped eyes stared daggers at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Adam’s apple bobbed violently, his voice agonizingly strained.\u003C\u002Fp>",647,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","f32d65356f56760a220c199b66a8bba97ce5cb30b285d7f5d10f65e39543c6e5","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-328","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-326",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
