Our Anniversary, You Chose Her – I Chose Divorce novel Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 400: He Fabricated a Lie

Walker listened as she recounted the process of the last paternity test. His striking brows arched slightly, and he let out a scoff. "System malfunction? Data wiped? You actually believed that?"

Chloe: "..."

She looked down again at the paternity test in her hands, her face still etched with bewilderment. "But why would he do this? Why lie to me? To keep me from knowing I’m not their daughter?"

But Walker pointed out, "After that paternity test, you were kidnapped. That person didn’t do anything to you, right?"

Chloe nodded slowly.

She had been drugged unconscious. When she woke up, Walker was there. She had no idea what had happened in between.

Walker’s eyes grew cold. "All sorts of dangers started appearing around you from that point on. When you went for that paternity test, you leaked your true identity. The person disguised as a sanitation worker came specifically to verify who you were. Once they had confirmation, the assassination attempts began."

His dark eyes fixed on her, his gaze holding a new level of focus and suspicion. "Chloe Reed, what is the truth about your past? The other party is so wary of you. Are they that afraid of you going back?"

Chloe’s hands clenched into fists. "I want to know, too."

A corner of Walker’s lips curved up, a glint flashing in his eyes. "This is starting to get more interesting for me, too. I’ll get to the bottom of it. For now, not only do you need to stay away from Preston Vance, but you also have to be on guard against Miles Hawthorne. We don’t know what role he’s playing yet. What we can be sure of, however, is that he is undeniably connected to the assassination attempts against you."

"I..." Chloe wanted to say more.

But Walker spoke again, "At the very least, you can’t find an excuse for what he did. There’s no justifying why he would create a fake paternity test to lie to you."

Chloe: "..."

She fell silent.

He was absolutely right.

Before, she had been convinced that Miles Hawthorne would never hurt her, but now, that conviction was wavering.
