Chloe Reed bit her lip, forcing her emotions under control.
She didn’t go into the hospital room. Instead, she stayed outside for a long time, waiting until she was sure she wouldn’t get upset again before heading back.
Madam Grant was already asleep. Chloe climbed onto the small bed beside her and gazed at her grandmother’s sleeping form. She mentally tore out that place of sorrow in her heart and cast it aside.
She was done with it.
’I accepted reality long ago, so what’s there to be sad about?’
It strengthened her resolve.
Charles Reed and his wife owed her far too much. If they dared to give Sunny Reed money, she wouldn’t hold back.
The Reed Group—she didn’t want it, and she would destroy it!
...
Autumn Linton didn’t come the next day.
Madam Grant didn’t ask about her, but noticing Chloe Reed’s haggard expression, she inquired, "Didn’t you sleep well, Cherie?"
Chloe Reed nodded. "Yes, I had to work overtime yesterday. I’m exhausted."
Madam Grant said, "You have to balance work and rest, or your body will give out."
Chloe Reed nodded obediently. "Mm, I know. I’ll listen to you."
She had the three caregivers come back to continue looking after Madam Grant.
After breakfast, she headed to work. She had just arrived at the office when she received a call.
"Hello, am I speaking with Miss Chloe Reed?" a young man’s voice asked.
"Who is this?" Chloe Reed asked, her tone wary.
"My name is Zachary Bowman. Diana Sutton has entrusted me with transferring her assets into your name. Are you free right now? Would it be convenient to meet?"
Chloe Reed’s eyes widened slightly. ’I almost forgot about that!’
She suddenly remembered that before her grandmother’s illness had flared up, she had been planning to leave. And before she left, she had told Chloe she was going to give her all her assets.
’Thinking back now, Grandma probably already knew she was sick. That must be why she did it.’
Chloe Reed’s breath hitched, and a heavy feeling settled in her chest.
She took a deep breath before saying, "Yes, I’m free. I’ll send you a location."
Zachary Bowman said, "Alright."
