He then looked at Chloe Reed, and his expression visibly softened.
"Chloe..."
Chloe Reed raised a hand, cutting him off. "The show is over. I should be going."
With that, she turned to leave.
"Chloe!"
Charles Reed, however, took two steps forward. "I misunderstood you about so many things in the past," he said. "At the end of the day, we were father and daughter for more than twenty years. I watched you grow up. Even though you’re not my biological daughter, we still have a family bond."
Chloe Reed found his hypocrisy disgusting. The moment his own interests were at stake, he would immediately cut ties and find the path most advantageous to himself.
She gave him a cold look, her eyes clear and detached. "I have nothing to do with any of you."
With that, she quickly left the hospital room.
Charles Reed made to chase after her but was stopped by Walker Grant. The man’s handsome, sharp-featured face was impassive as he said coolly, "Didn’t you hear what she said?"
Charles Reed was still intimidated by Walker Grant, so he didn’t dare go any further.
He was overcome with regret. ’How could I have let my relationship with Chloe sour this badly?’
’If only I hadn’t treated Chloe so differently.’
’It’s all that little bitch Sunny’s fault!’
Charles Reed was furious. He turned and slapped Sunny across the face again.
"You vicious bitch, get the hell out!"
Sunny’s ears were ringing from the blow. She stared at Charles Reed in disbelief. "You... you hit me again?"
"I wish I could beat you to death!" Charles Reed snarled, pointing at her. "If it weren’t for you, how could the Reed family have ended up in this state? You’ve thrown our family into turmoil, leaving us with no peace. Are you satisfied now?"
