Chloe Reed glanced at him, her clear eyes cool. "Did I make you wait?"
But Walker Grant walked right up to her. "Let’s talk about the earthquake."
Chloe Reed’s expression instantly soured. She stared at him intently. "What do you mean? You don’t believe me?"
Walker Grant glanced at the property manager. "You can leave."
The property manager nodded profusely. "Yes, of course..."
Then, he turned to her. "Shall we talk inside?"
Chloe Reed’s lips were pressed into a thin line. With a dark expression, she opened the door, a feeling of betrayal welling up inside her.
But then, she couldn’t help but think, ’Sunny Reed really holds a high place in his heart. He believes whatever she says.’
Hah!
After opening the door, she walked in with a grim face, sat on the sofa, and watched him coldly.
Walker Grant took out his phone and played a video for her.
The video was a recording Dylan Finch had made with a witness during his investigation. In it, the witness recalled the scene of the earthquake. Dylan Finch handed him two photos. The man studied them, his expression pensive as he tried to remember. After a long moment, he hesitantly pointed to Sunny Reed’s picture.
"Things were so chaotic then, but I remember a girl rushing back to pull a boy out from under a slab of stone. The situation was critical, and I was terrified, but that memory is seared into my mind."
"Impossible!"
Chloe Reed clutched the phone, her expression twisting as she denied it.
She looked at Walker Grant. "Sunny Reed must have hired this person to lie. There’s nothing she wouldn’t do to get what she wants, is there?"
Walker Grant sat diagonally across from her, his dark, heavy gaze fixed on her face. "I had it investigated. This man doesn’t know Sunny Reed, and there’s been no financial exchange between them."
Chloe Reed’s knuckles turned white as she gripped the phone, her gaze wavering. "So, you think I lied to you? That I used this to get close to you on purpose?"
