Judith Pierce entered the villa.

At that moment, only the two of them were in the courtyard.

No emotion showed on Walker Grant’s handsome, sharp features. Faced with her accusation, he simply asked in a flat voice, "How much do you know?"

Chloe Reed scoffed. "At this point, you’re still trying to test me? You bribed the people in Brightwater Village. For your sister-in-law... you’re really capable of anything, aren’t you?"

Her clear eyes were filled with mockery. "Walker Grant, I’ve said it before. If you care about her, if you love her, then let’s get a divorce. I’ll let you have each other, and you won’t have to go to such great lengths to hide this anymore." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Walker Grant’s brows knitted together. "You said it yourself—she’s my sister-in-law!"

His dark eyes stared at her, his tone turning colder. "Chloe, my brother and his wife have always had a great relationship. My brother was good to you, too. Yet here you are, slandering his wife. Can you live with yourself?"

"The one with a filthy mind is you!" Chloe Reed’s expression turned cold. "You know they had a good relationship, yet you still covet your own sister-in-law. You’re the one who truly wronged Julian! I’m just speaking the truth. What have I done wrong?"

"Chloe!"

Walker Grant’s tone grew even colder and deeper. "I told you, there’s nothing between me and my sister-in-law!"

"Maybe not physically, but what about in your heart? Can I see into your heart? Can you cut it out to prove your innocence?" Chloe Reed refused to back down, her gaze mocking and icy.

She even glanced at his shoulder, where he’d been injured before. An image flashed through her mind: him grabbing her, taking a bullet for her...

’If I hadn’t found out the truth about what happened during the earthquake, maybe I would have actually believed he had some genuine feelings for me.’

’But now that I know, I can’t help but wonder.’

’Why did he get together with me in the first place?’

’Was it to get close to Sunny Reed?’

’Because back then, Sunny Reed was already dating Julian Grant.’

Heh...

’It was better not to dig too deep into the past. Otherwise, she’d find that she was nothing but a fool.’

’But thankfully, she was cold and hard-hearted now. She wouldn’t be deceived by him.’

’Since he was suffering from such unrequited love, she would help him out. She’d help him get his wish.’

’Julian was dead anyway, Noah Grant already treated him like a father, and Sunny Reed looked like she couldn’t live without him.’

’The three of them should have been a family long ago.’

’She would make it happen for them.’

Chloe Reed turned and walked into the villa.

Walker Grant felt a surge of frustration. Watching her slender, straight back, a flicker of agitated gloom crossed his eyes.

’She still doesn’t know the whole story about the earthquake. She only knows a little, and she’s already reacting like this.’

’What will she think when she finds out everything?’

’Will she regret it even more?’

His expression cold and grim, Walker Grant dialed Daniel Hayes’s number.

It rang three times before the call connected.

"What’s up?" Daniel Hayes’s tone was impatient; he clearly wasn’t happy to get a call from him.

Walker Grant said coldly, "Stop the investigation into Brightwater Village."

"Why?" Daniel Hayes was confused. "Miss Reed said she was the one who saved you, but you said it was Sunny Reed. This whole thing is a thorn in Miss Reed’s side. She just wants to resolve it, so why not investigate?"

"Because I said so. Don’t forget your promise," Walker Grant’s voice turned chilling.

’This Daniel Hayes is a real nuisance. And right now, I can’t let him leave, or Chloe Reed will definitely get suspicious.’

’Besides, Daniel Hayes is a skilled fighter. He can protect her well.’
