But now, he was saying he didn’t know and that he needed to look into it.
Chloe Reed gripped the seatbelt tightly, her voice hoarse as she asked, "If you don’t know, then why didn’t you question it when I told you about it back then?"
"That’s not important."
Walker Grant suddenly took her hand, his deep, intense eyes fixed on her. "It’s all in the past. It’s not important anymore."
A layer of moisture welled up in Chloe Reed’s wide eyes as she looked at him. "How can it not be important? Sunny Reed wants to steal everything from me. She even wants to steal the credit for this. Walker, this is very important."
But his brow furrowed. "Even if she was the one who saved me, my feelings for you wouldn’t change."
’Did she really think he was with her just because of that debt of gratitude?’
’If that’s the case...’
’What kind of person did she take him for?’
"I was the one who saved you!"
Chloe Reed said stubbornly, pulling her hand away. "Walker Grant, you listen to me. I was the one who saved you. It definitely wasn’t her. She’s lying! She’s trying to steal from me again!"
She was incredibly agitated, and the tears in her eyes grew thicker, glistening in a way that was heart-wrenching to watch.
"Okay, it was you. I won’t look into it. I believe you," Walker Grant said, going along with her in an attempt to calm her down.
But Chloe Reed looked away, staring out at the pitch-black night. It all felt so absurd.
’Her father wanted to give shares of the Reed Group to an adopted daughter.’
’And now that bitch was even claiming she was the one who saved Walker Grant.’
’She felt like she was dreaming.’
’But reality told her this was no dream.’
She pushed the car door open, got out, and walked inside without a backward glance.
Walker Grant didn’t get out of the car, nor did he watch her go. After a long moment of silence, he took out his phone and dialed his special assistant, Dylan Finch.
