Chloe Reed looked at the police, her expression blank. "I’ll go with you. I’ll cooperate with the investigation."
Walker Grant watched her, a slight quirk in his eyebrow. He then pulled a marriage certificate from his pocket and said, "She’s telling the truth. We were in the utility closet."
The police officers stared at him, utterly speechless.
’Wouldn’t it have been easier to just admit it from the start?’
’Why make things so complicated?’
’Is he just messing with his own wife?’
Chloe Reed said, "Can I go now?"
"Yes, you can go," the officer nodded.
Chloe Reed turned and walked away. The sound of a man’s steady footsteps followed, keeping an unhurried pace behind her.
Daniel Hayes had finished his questioning and was waiting for her by the door.
Seeing her emerge, he asked, "Miss Reed, is everything alright?"
"I’m fine. Let’s go."
Chloe Reed shook her head and headed for the exit.
Daniel Hayes saw Walker Grant emerge behind her. He frowned, shot him a glare, then quickly moved to catch up with Chloe Reed.
Outside the Blue Night Club, a crowd had gathered—friends and family of those still inside.
"Chloe!"
The voice was Iris Yates’s. She ran over and threw her arms around Chloe Reed.
"I saw the police show up. That was so scary, wasn’t it?" Iris Yates said, her face pale.
Chloe Reed said, "Someone got hurt, so of course it’s a serious matter. But everything’s fine now. Let’s go home."
Iris Yates clung to her arm. "Yeah, let’s go home. I was scared to death tonight."
Daniel Hayes pulled the car around, and the two women got in.
As she was closing the car door, Chloe Reed saw Walker Grant walk out of the club. He was too far away for her to see the expression on his face, but she could make out his relaxed, casual posture.
’Tonight’s incident clearly hadn’t bothered him in the slightest.’


Seeing this, Nathaniel Monroe asked, "You’re not going to keep drinking?"
