Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce

Chapter 171: Afraid She Would Cause Trouble for Sunny Reed

A chilling, oppressive aura radiated from him, and a strange pressure settled over Chloe Reed.

Chloe Reed’s heart clenched. Her lovely brows knitted together. "How did you know?"

"Chloe, don’t tell me you already think he’s special after knowing him for just a few days," Walker Grant’s tone grew even colder.

Chloe Reed’s expression turned cold. "Then why did you fire him for no reason? What did he do wrong?"

"He was getting close to you. Isn’t that enough of a transgression?" Walker Grant’s gaze was heavy as he stared at her. "I’ve told you before that I don’t want to see any other men around you, Chloe. Yet you’re trying to save his job. I’m very unhappy."

An inexplicable anger churned in her chest. The air was filled with laughter and cheerful voices, but all she could hear was his cold warning.

Chloe Reed took several deep breaths to control her emotions, her fingers curling into fists. "Talk about double standards. You’re so attentive when you help your sister-in-law, but I can’t even have male friends..."

A mocking smile touched her lips, her eyes growing colder, more distant as she looked at him. "This is the least I can do for someone who got into trouble because of me. But you? What have you been doing? Taking care of her and her son, bidding for her at auctions, helping her negotiate deals... Walker Grant, you’re a real bastard."

They were standing so close that to any onlooker, they still appeared to be a loving couple.
