"I was there when it happened."
But Walker Grant spoke up, his voice calm.
"What?!" Charles Reed was stunned for a moment, then shot to his feet. "If you were there, why didn’t you stop Chloe Reed?"
Walker Grant’s narrow phoenix eyes were deep and placid. "Sister-in-law misunderstood her, which is why she lashed out. Dad, you know her personality. If you force an accusation on her for something she didn’t do, she’ll make it a reality."
Charles Reed’s expression darkened further. "Even so, you should have held her back! You can’t just let her hit people!"
He then turned and glared at Chloe Reed. "Apologize to your sister!"
Chloe Reed gave Walker Grant a complicated look.
’She hadn’t expected him to take her side this time.’
Still, she felt nothing.
"When she’s dead, I’ll bow and offer her a single chrysanthemum," she said in a flat voice.
"Chloe Reed!"
Charles Reed let out a strangled roar.
Sunny Reed’s face paled, and she suddenly burst into tears. "I should never have come to this family. If my parents were still alive, no one would bully me like this..."
Her words tore at Charles Reed’s heart.
He looked at Chloe Reed with even greater disappointment. "You... you damn brat, you..."
But he was at a loss for words to scold her.
Because scolding her was useless.
Charles Reed turned to Sunny Reed. "Sunny, don’t cry. She’s the one in the wrong. Dad will apologize to you on her behalf. Don’t be sad. I’ve made a decision. I’m going to give you five percent of the Reed Group’s shares. After your mother and I pass away, you will inherit the group."
"I object!"
