However, she didn’t just turn and walk away. She remembered what Judith Pierce had said, so Walker Grant must be here to talk about the divorce.
She walked up to him, her clear eyes watching him coldly. "You didn’t have to come all the way here. We can just go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow."
Walker Grant’s narrow, deep-set eyes fixed on her. "Chloe, there’s no way we’re getting a divorce."
Chloe Reed’s expression darkened. "Walker Grant, let’s get something straight. You’re the one who’s wronged me from start to finish. What gives you the right to cling to this marriage and refuse a divorce?"
Walker Grant said calmly, "Since you say I’ve wronged you, I’ll make it up to you. That’s all the more reason we can’t get a divorce."
Chloe Reed: "..."
’So fucking shameless!’
She turned to Kyle Coleman, who was standing nearby cradling a thermos. "Director, if this man shows up again, don’t let him in."
Kyle Coleman blew on the goji berries floating in his mug. "Can’t be done," he said. "He’s the investor."
Chloe Reed: "..."
Walker Grant, who had been watching her the whole time, said, "What you’re worried about won’t happen."
But Chloe was in no mood to waste her breath on him.
She turned and went back into the recording booth.
However, seeing him had completely unsettled her, and she was in no state to continue recording.
In the end, she called it a day for recording and started studying the script, trying to immerse herself in it.
Walker Grant didn’t linger and left shortly after.
Chloe Reed picked up her phone and called Judith Pierce.
The phone rang three times before it connected.
"Chloe." Judith Pierce’s tone was cool. "Our deal can’t just end like this. You gave me your word, so you have to keep it, don’t you?"
But Chloe said, "Do you have any idea what Walker Grant just did? He helped my parents give shares of the Reed Group to Sunny Reed."
Judith Pierce’s expression soured even more. She’d never imagined he would do something like that.
All at once, she lost the moral high ground.
