Her eyes had lost their focus completely, and she answered whatever Claire Monroe asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Sunny Reed began speaking about the poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My grandmother gave it to me. I don’t know how it’s made.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her cadence was slow, her voice low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant’s sharp brows furrowed. He glanced at Claire Monroe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Monroe continued her questioning. \"And where did your grandmother get the poison?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know. She wouldn’t tell me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunny Reed kept repeating that she didn’t know. After several more attempts with the same result, it was clear she genuinely had no idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Monroe snapped her fingers again. Sunny Reed’s eyes fluttered shut, and she instantly fell into a deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"She won’t have any memory of being hypnotized. You can rest easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant nodded and then headed outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group walked out together. Claire Monroe said bluntly, \"Remember to wire the payment to my account.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said, \"There are two more people I need you to handle. Get as much useful information out of them as you can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Monroe yawned. \"That’ll be extra.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him agree so readily, Claire Monroe couldn’t help but give him a curious glance. \"Who are these two? What’s it about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walker Grant said, \"It’s about my wife.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile played on Claire Monroe’s lips. She then turned to Nathaniel Monroe and crooked a finger. \"Come on, my dear brother, tell me everything that’s happened over the years. I’m just so curious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe nodded, signaling it was no problem. He suddenly leaned closer and asked, \"Sis, if I don’t want to talk, are you going to hypnotize me and make me spill everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want me to hypnotize you?\" Claire Monroe scoffed. \"In your dreams!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She yawned again and said, \"Do you think hypnotism is some simple trick? It’s incredibly draining. After a session, I need to recover my energy, and that requires a lot of rest. The longer the session, the more rest I need. If I don’t get enough, accidents can easily happen during the process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at Nathaniel Monroe. \"Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. Drop the schemes. I couldn’t care less about the piddling amount of money you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was furious at being belittled, but the anger lasted only a moment. She had him completely cowed; he didn’t dare to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Claire Monroe pulled open the car door and got in. \"Let’s continue tomorrow night. I’m a bit tired now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she looked at Nathaniel Monroe. \"Come on, pup, drive. And fill me in on the gossip while you’re at it. I love gossip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nathaniel Monroe was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As they drove away, Walker Grant made a phone call, ordering someone to keep a close watch on Susan Bowman. He had to find out where the poison came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He returned to Jardinelle. The villa was dark inside and out. He went straight upstairs and stood before the door to Chloe Reed’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t push the door open. After hesitating for a few seconds, he went straight downstairs to the servants’ quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>",604,"2026-06-06T12:36:05.723Z",1,"novelbin.me","72d304c9e9da9f13828c6a538d2bbf03892d9370d8a57be3cd1eb7009462ed9c","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-510","our-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-chapter-508",518,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Four-anniversary-you-chose-her-i-chose-divorce-cover.jpg"]
