Chapter 234: Chapter 234: You Can’t Win Anyway

Walker Grant’s expression grew even darker.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, but it offered no warmth at all.

She was like a hedgehog, all her spines raised, refusing to let him get close.

Walker Grant caressed her face. After a long moment, he finally asked, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Chloe Reed pushed his hand away. "Will you make whatever I want?"

"Yes."

Walker Grant replied.

Chloe Reed said, "I want buns from Hu’s on the south side of town."

She lived on the north side; the two places were on opposite ends of the city.

Walker Grant nodded. "Okay. I’ll be back soon."

He put on his jacket and left.

Chloe Reed’s tense body relaxed slightly. She hugged her knees, her face pale and drawn.

He would listen to her when it came to the little things.

But on the important matters, he completely ignored her.

’What’s the point?’

She washed up and left right after.

She grabbed a quick bite to eat outside. Since her period had started, she felt incredibly weak, and the waves of pain in her lower abdomen were making her irritable.

When she got to the office, she was surprised to see Walker Grant was there too.

He was holding a bag from the breakfast shop. He offered it to her and said, "I knew you wouldn’t wait for me, so I brought it straight here. There’s red bean porridge, too. Have some, it’ll make you feel better."

Chloe Reed didn’t take it, merely watching him with a cold gaze.

Walker Grant placed the breakfast bag directly on her workstation, then turned and left.

Chloe Reed looked at her colleagues and asked, "Has anyone not had breakfast yet?"

The others all glanced at her but said nothing.

Chloe Reed didn’t seem to care. She threw the breakfast straight into the trash can.

After Kyle Coleman arrived, he called for a meeting.

After a busy morning, she received a call from the court in the afternoon. They wanted to meet with them for mediation.

’So it’s finally happening?’

Chloe Reed took a deep breath and said, "I’m free this afternoon."

"Alright, then we’ll head directly to the Grant Group."

A moment later, Dylan Finch came down, his expression very serious. "Mrs. Grant, Mr. Grant has asked for you to come up."

Chloe Reed nodded. "Okay."

She followed Dylan Finch into the elevator. Dylan kept glancing at her.

’Mrs. Grant is so brave!’

’She actually filed for divorce in secret!’

’But no one in all of Breyburn should have dared to take on Mr. Grant’s divorce case. How did someone who’s not afraid to die end up taking it?’

Chloe Reed’s tone was flat. "What are you looking at?"

Dylan Finch quickly averted his gaze. "N-Nothing..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But Chloe Reed let out a soft laugh. "Curious how I managed it? Not everyone is at his beck and call."

Dylan Finch didn’t dare to speak.

The elevator soon reached the executive office floor.

In the reception room, the people from the court had already arrived.

Walker Grant sat on the sofa, his posture relaxed. His dark, phoenix-like eyes watched the two mediators with an amused expression.

When Chloe Reed entered, his gaze fell upon her.

"Chloe, you truly surprise me."

Chloe Reed sat down and said directly to the mediators, "I don’t think mediation is necessary. My marriage with him cannot be sustained."

But Walker Grant said, "My wife and I have always had a very good relationship. I don’t mind if you investigate our private life."

The two mediators had felt immense pressure from the moment they walked in.

But they still followed procedure.

Since Chloe Reed insisted on a divorce, the next step would be a court hearing.

The hearing date wouldn’t be far off.

Chloe Reed’s attitude remained firm the entire time.

After the two mediators left, the color in Walker Grant’s eyes deepened. "Chloe, why do you have to do this? You can’t win anyway."
