I Deleted You Traitor Even My Blade Forgot Your Name novel Chapter 65

Garrett had been on edge lately.

Maybe it was because Chloe had been… too understanding.

Before, she’d start chattering about anniversary plans a month or two in advance.

But today was their seven–year anniversary, and if he hadn’t brought it up in the car this morning, she seemed to have forgotten about it entirely.

Garrett frowned, glancing down at his silent phone.

A strange sense of losing control crawled up his spine like a thousand ants.

It felt like something invisible was slipping away somewhere he couldn’t see.

He couldn’t hold onto it. But he had to do something to steady himself.

So once again, he sent Chloe an update:

[Dealing with something important here.]

[Meet me at Sunset Terrace at 6:30.]

Just then, a saccharine voice called out. “Garrett!”

Garrett looked up, annoyed.

He saw Tessa’s face.

And next to her–her father, Vincent Riley.

By then, a nurse pushed Garrett’s grandfather Maxwell Hale’s wheelchair close behind.

His brow was permanently creased into a deep furrow.

“Since we’re done with business and it’s dinnertime, I invited our future in–laws to join us.”

Vincent played along, adopting the tone of an elder. “It’s been dragging on for a whole year. Time to set a wedding date for you two.”

“Your grandfather’s health isn’t great. Why’d you call him here? What’s this about?”

“Hurry up and finish so we can all eat.”

Tessa nodded shyly, playing her part.

“Sure.” Garrett’s lips curved into a smile, though his eyes held no warmth. “I was planning to meet with Mr. Riley tomorrow anyway.”

Vincent’s grin froze mid–spread at Garrett’s next words.

‘Perfect timing. Let’s talk about that plot in the development zone.”

‘Development zone? What development zone?” Vincent’s eyes bulged like they might pop out of his head.

Maxwell’s face turned ashen.

Only Tessa remained bashfully oblivious.

“Dad, it’s that plot in North District. Garrett said it was urgent.”

Lagh Tour’s farm flushed slightly, as if recalling something, “Anyway, last night I used your company seal to approve it for him!

be finally seemed to grasp the situation, her eyes turning red.

So you were using me this whole time?

Kring nice to me was fake–just to gain my trust so you could go after my dad?”

I don’t understand your business stuff.

essa had naively allowed her father to use his shares as leverage, pressuring Garrett into an arranged marriage with her.

low that he’d reclaimed his shares and no longer had to be controlled, Garrett didn’t want to waste another expression on her.

fis voice was flat, devoid of any inflection.

Didn’t you?”

If you hadn’t pulled strings, how would you have gotten that position at Hale Corp?”

essa looked at him like she was seeing him for the first time.

What now?!” Tears streamed down her face. “So you’re defending your girlfriend Chloe, is that it?”
