Chapter 167: She Was Increasingly Disappointed in Chloe Reed

After giving Owen Sterling his instructions, Judith Pierce paced back and forth in her room, a grim expression on her face.

She hated being threatened.

Chloe Reed was disappointing her more and more.

After mulling it over, she gave Selene Adler a call.

"Auntie," Selene Adler answered, her tone respectful.

Judith Pierce asked gently, "Selene, have you gone back to being Walker’s secretary?"

Selene Adler’s voice was full of frustration. "Auntie, I was just about to tell you. Mr. Grant won’t even see me. He’s blocked my number, so I have no way of contacting him."

Judith Pierce sighed. "That’s just his personality. Once he’s made up his mind, it’s hard to change it. Don’t be discouraged. There’s a banquet tomorrow night, and you should come with me. Walker will be there too. When you see him, you can have a proper talk. Once he realizes you want to help him, he’s sure to soften up and let you stay."

Selene Adler’s voice filled with excitement. "Okay, I’ll do whatever you say."

Judith Pierce chuckled. "Are you free today? Come with me to the salon."

"Of course."
