"Why’d you stop calling me ’sister’? Is it because there’s no one here to watch your little show?" Chloe Reed shot her a mocking look, her words barbed.
Sunny Reed’s brow furrowed slightly. "I’m not putting on a show. You’ve always misunderstood me."
"Misunderstood you?" Chloe Reed advanced on her, step by step, her piercing eyes cold. "From the time we were kids until now, have I ever, even once, falsely accused you?"
Sunny Reed instinctively retreated, her eyes filled with wary defensiveness.
’If I get hurt here with no witnesses, it won’t be worth it...’
A glint flashed in her eyes as she said, "Is this because Walker keeps coming to see me? Is that why you’re so angry? Sigh... There’s nothing I can do. Walker cares a lot about Noah. I’ve tried to refuse him every time, but he insists on coming. What choice do I have?"
"Bitch!"
Iris Yates, who had been listening from the side, couldn’t hold back a curse. "You’re a real piece of work, acting all high and mighty after being a total whore. I’ve seen it all. You’re so vile, it’d be a crime not to slap that face a few times!"
She stormed over, ready for a fight.
But Chloe Reed grabbed her arm, stopping her. "Don’t. She’s a great actress. It’s not worth it if Walker Grant comes after you for this."
Iris Yates was furious. "So we’re just letting her get away with it?"
Chloe Reed said coolly, "As long as we don’t let her get what she wants."
She pressed the elevator button. "I’m divorcing Walker Grant. You three can live happily ever after. Now, get lost."
Sunny Reed pursed her lips, her gaze unreadable. "Everything I said is true. Why won’t you believe me?"
The elevator doors opened, and Chloe Reed ignored her, stepping straight inside.
As soon as the elevator doors slid shut, Sunny Reed pulled her phone out of her pocket, stopped the recording, closed her eyes, and slapped herself across the face.
The sound was sharp. It hurt.
