Sunny Reed’s lips curled, her eyes filled with a profound sadness. "It’s ridiculous, isn’t it? Walker, all I did back then was save someone. If I really had an ulterior motive, I wouldn’t have stayed silent for more than eight years. I’m going to take Noah home now. You should get back to work."
She turned and left the office.
Walker Grant’s long, elegant fingers gripped a pen. His eyes were dark and inscrutable, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Dylan Finch, standing to the side, glanced at his boss’s expression and asked tentatively, "Mr. Grant, should we continue the investigation?"
Walker Grant said, "Find out where Chloe Reed was when the earthquake happened."
Dylan Finch said, "Yes."
...
Chloe Reed met up with Iris Yates for a meal.
The aroma of grilled meat filled the Korean BBQ restaurant. The SIZZLE of meat on the grill was enough to lift anyone’s spirits.
Iris Yates studied her friend’s face, her brow furrowed in worry. "Chloe, you didn’t sleep well last night, did you?"
Chloe Reed looked haggard, her eyes completely listless.
"How can I stop my parents from giving the Reed Group shares to Sunny Reed?"
she said, her expression full of sorrow.
"What?!" Iris Yates was stunned. "Have your parents lost their minds? Giving the family business to an adopted daughter? I just don’t get it. What kind of spell has that bitch Sunny Reed cast on them? This is going way too far!"
Chloe Reed looked up at her. "You think it’s outrageous too, don’t you?"
"Right!" Iris Yates slammed her hand on the table. "If my parents ever did that, I’d fight them tooth and nail!"
Chloe Reed cupped her chin in thought. "They’re so patient with Sunny Reed. They favor her, care about her, they’re even giving the company to her... It’s like... they’re trying to make up for something. Do you think my parents might have killed Sunny Reed’s parents?"
Her imagination suddenly ran wild, and the more she thought about it, the more her guess seemed plausible!
Otherwise, how could she explain Charles Reed and Autumn Linton’s favoritism toward Sunny Reed?
