Chapter 910: Who Bewitched You?

Walker Grant remained facing her, asking slowly, "Chloe, why exactly?"

Emotions churned in Chloe Reed’s chest. She stared intently at his face, finding the whole situation utterly ridiculous. After everything, how could he still ask "why" with such a straight face? Didn’t he know the reason perfectly well himself?

He had lied to her again! He had once promised never to deceive her, and she had actually started to believe him. She thought he had been trying his absolute best to find Iris Yates, and she thought she had finally seen his true sincerity. But what was the reality? He knew exactly where Iris was right from the very beginning! He had even struck a deal with William Quinn, using Iris as a bargaining chip!

How could he do something so despicable?!

Iris was her best friend and had witnessed everything they had been through together. Back before their relationship had completely shattered, Iris had sincerely wished them a long and happy future together.

Recently, Nathaniel Monroe had reached out to her again, showing her the email correspondence between Walker and William. She had read through every single message, finding the contents nothing short of absurd. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine he would use such an excuse to deceive her—all just to drag out their divorce!

When he returned today acting so cold and distant, she genuinely thought he was finally ready to let go. She hadn’t expected it to be a complete illusion. He had been putting on an act the entire time.

Of course... he had calculated every little detail. He knew from the very beginning that she was soft-hearted, which was exactly why he feigned weakness in front of her—to exploit her sympathy. And she had fallen for it, letting her guard down time and time again.

She hated herself for being so weak!

A maelstrom of emotions surged within her. Chloe took two deep breaths, forcing down the rising tide of anger before opening her eyes to look at him again. "Walker, there is no ’why.’ I made my reasons perfectly clear to you a long time ago. Stop obsessing over the past. You are signing this divorce agreement today."

Her tone grew even more uncompromising. She turned to grab a pen, marched back to his side, and seized his hand, attempting to force him to sign the papers.

Walker hadn’t expected her to go to such lengths. He froze for a fraction of a second before his reflexes kicked in, swiftly twisting his hand to seize her wrist in a vice-like grip.

In the nearly half-month they had been apart, she had improved immensely. Her strength had increased, and her counterattacks were far more skilled. It was obvious she had been training rigorously during this time. But for Walker, subduing her was still child’s play. He pinned her firmly against the sofa, using leverage and precision to completely immobilize her.

"Let me go!"

Chloe struggled violently, but his heavy frame pressed down on her like a mountain, refusing to budge an inch. She was absolutely livid. "How dare you use force against me?"

Walker lowered his body until the tip of his nose brushed against her cheek. His faint breath swept over her lips as his handsome brows knit tightly together.

Chloe’s chest heaved with indignation. "You’re the one who keeps going back on your word! You constantly find excuses to stall for time. Walker, I am done playing these pathetic games with you!"

Walker’s tone dropped a few degrees. "But you promised me. You said that as long as my eyes hadn’t recovered, you would stay by my side. Are you going to go back on your word and become a treacherous liar?"

"If you can do it, why can’t I?" Chloe glared at him. It was a pity he was blind and couldn’t witness the sheer fury blazing in her eyes.

Walker’s brows twitched slightly as he caught the crux of the issue. Pressing down even closer, he asked in a low, gravelly voice, "Tell me, then. Exactly when did I ever go back on my word?"
