Chapter 598: A Little Betrayal

Chloe Reed started dialing Daniel Hayes’s number.

It rang three times before the call went through.

"Hello, Miss Chloe."

Chloe Reed’s tone was grim. "Walker Grant is gone. Have you noticed?"

Daniel Hayes was taken aback for a moment before replying, "No, I’ve only been focused on you. There’s no immediate danger. Is it possible Mr. Grant just went to the restroom?"

Daniel Hayes said, "Well, maybe there’s no reception in the restroom. That could be why he can’t pick up. Miss Chloe, please don’t worry too much. I’m sure Mr. Grant is fine."

But Chloe Reed said, "Come find me now. With him not here, I feel unsettled."

"Okay," Daniel Hayes replied.
