Chloe, if you need it, I can help you investigate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed said, \"I’ve already sent my own people to investigate, but there are no results yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance then said, \"Having another team investigating creates another possibility. My people are very discreet. They won’t reveal their purpose, and they’ll bring you results quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Chloe Reed’s eyes brightened a little, but she was still hesitant. \"Won’t this be too much trouble for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you’re sounding like a stranger.\" Preston Vance sighed. \"I wasn’t able to help you with your grandmother’s situation before, and I already feel terrible about it. Now that I finally have a chance to make it up to you, you absolutely can’t refuse me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed picked up her wine glass. \"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance clinked glasses with her. \"I won’t let you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them drank, and getting some of the frustration off her chest made her feel much more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the food was served, her appetite had improved as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one point, she got up to go to the restroom. It was located near the end of a hallway, which featured a window overlooking the tavern’s backyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Chloe Reed came out of the restroom, she stood by the window for some fresh air. Then, she saw a familiar figure pass by the entrance to the small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the flickering light, she saw Sunny Reed’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why would Sunny Reed be here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed instinctively leaned forward, wanting to get a better look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Preston Vance’s voice came from behind her. \"What are you looking at?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed pulled her gaze back and said, \"Nothing, I’m just getting some air.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance looked at her slightly flushed face and said, \"You’ve had a bit too much to drink. We should get going.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed was also feeling dizzy as the alcohol started to hit. She knew she shouldn’t overdo it, so she nodded. \"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance said, \"I’ve already called for a designated driver. We’ll wait a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at their table, Chloe Reed took out her phone and sent a message to Daniel Hayes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed: [I think I saw Sunny Reed. Go take a look around the area.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes: [Okay.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Daniel Hayes messaged back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Daniel Hayes: [Miss Reed, I don’t see her.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed stared at her phone, a flicker of doubt in her eyes. ’Did I see wrong?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chloe, the designated driver is here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance’s voice came just then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chloe Reed put away her phone and stood up to leave the tavern with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there was a step on the way out. Dizzy, she didn’t notice it and missed her footing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a cry of alarm. Preston Vance, who was beside her, quickly reached out and put an arm around her shoulders, steadying her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you walk on your own?\" he asked with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief moment of fear, Chloe Reed pushed him away and said, \"I’m fine. Thanks for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had just been lost in thought and hadn’t been watching her step. It wasn’t as if she was too drunk to walk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preston Vance opened the car door for her, and the two of them left the tavern together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bodyguard in the shadows snapped a photo of the scene and sent it off immediately. On the other side of the ocean, a man who had just checked into his hotel received the bodyguard’s message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the intimately posed man and woman in the photo, his expressionless face instantly darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>",669,"2026-06-06T12:35:59.743Z",1,"novelbin.me","962f84ab02c7122514c024fda18d9692822e438f541709f1e480e8971fe1c82c","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-346","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-344",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
