Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Seeing that Grant didn't react and seemed to accept her, Sophia decided to push her luck. She put on a sugary sweet voice, "Mr. Martin, I'm so cold. Can you lend me your jacket?"

Hearing Sophia's voice, Grant immediately reacted and shoved Sophia, who was leaning on him, away. Sophia stumbled and almost hit the ground.

Even after pushing her, Grant wasn't satisfied and snapped, "What are you thinking? If I give you my jacket, what am I supposed to wear?"

Grant's words left Sophia speechless. She never expected him to be so unconsiderate and stubborn.

Chloe, who saw the whole thing, couldn't help but find it hilarious.

Just then, a staff member responsible for cleaning the restaurant came over. As soon as she saw Sophia, she stared at her. "Hey, miss, where's the basin I used for dirty water? Did you return it after using it just now?"

The cleaner's words made everything clear to Grant. The basin was taken by Sophia, which meant she intended to use the water in the basin to harm Chloe. Unexpectedly, her plan backfired. Not only did she fail to harm Chloe, but she also got drenched by the mischievous Chloe.

This was quite satisfying.

"I... I..." For a moment, Sophia didn't know how to explain herself.

Grant gave her a cold look and said angrily, "You brought this on yourself."

After he finished speaking, Grant reached out and gently took Chloe's hand, leading her back to their table without looking back. Liam, who had been waiting impatiently, started teasing Chloe as soon as he saw her, "Oh my, ugly girl, why did it take you so long to go to the bathroom? Grant and I thought you fell in."

"No, no, I just ran into a little trouble." she shook her hands.

Chloe thought that after this incident, Grant would forget about what had just happened. Unexpectedly, as soon as they sat down, Grant's question was directed at Chloe. "Chloe, when did I ever tell you that I like women with big chests?"

Chloe was dumbfounded. She pointed in Sophia's direction and casually said, "Isn't it? Sophia has that kind of figure, doesn't she?"

Grant's face darkened. He said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense. I never liked Sophia."

Chloe then argued, "Grantie, Sophia is always chasing after you, and you treat her differently. You even personally took her to the hospital. I thought you two were dating. So, I thought you liked this kind of women like Sophia."

Chloe's words earned her a glare from Grant. He had to pick up the cup in front of him and heavily knocked it on the table. "I'll remind you again, I don't like Sophia. And I

don't like this kind of women. Chloe, be careful with your words in the future. Don't say things you shouldn't. You need to know that spreading rumors comes with responsibility."

Grant's tone was full of threat. To avoid further angering Grant, Chloe obediently stopped talking and quietly ate her meal.

Liam was dissatisfied. In his opinion, Chloe spreading rumors about Grant should have earned her some punishment, right? But now, aside from being a little annoyed, Grant didn't seem to do much else. Was that it?

After school in the evening, Chloe headed back to the Martin Mansion early. This evening, she didn't have any plans, so she intended to come back early, take a nice bath, and get a good night's sleep.

However, she had just lain down for a bit when she got a call from Michael. "Chloe, are you home?"

"Yeah, it's already nine-thirty at night. Where else would I be? Mic, what's up?" Chloe asked.

Michael urgently explained the task to Chloe over the phone, he sounded urgent. "Chloe, Grant drank too much and just called me to pick him up. But I'm stuck with a night shoot and can't get away. I tried calling Liam, but he didn't answer. I'm worried something might happen to Grant. Can you go pick him up?"

Chloe didn't really want to go, but since she was staying at the Martin Mansion and Grant had been pretty decent to her, it wouldn't be right to leave him hanging.

After thinking it over, Chloe agreed. "Alright, send me the address, and I'll go get him." After hanging up, Chloe got dressed, grabbed a random car key from the key box at the entrance, went to the basement, unlocked the car with the remote, and drove out.

She had gotten her driver's license at eighteen and was a decent driver. The reason she didn't drive in Sovereign City was that she didn't want to draw too much attention as a newcomer.

Following Michael's address, Chloe soon arrived at a high-end karaoke bar. As soon as she parked at the entrance, a valet came to take her car.

Chloe took out her phone and called Grant. But after calling for a while, Grant didn't answer, so she went upstairs to look for him.

The karaoke bar was very upscale, and the people coming and going looked wealthy and influential. Chloe went to the second floor and saw a pot-bellied man with a heavily made-up woman coming out of a private room.

Chloe was anxious to find Grant and didn't pay much attention to her surroundings. Unexpectedly, She was caught off guard when she reached the door of the private room and was suddenly blocked by a heavily made-up woman. Facing this unexpected situation, Chloe raised her head, and when she saw the woman's face, she was visibly surprised.

Wasn't this Lucy, who had just been expelled from Quest University a few days ago? What was she doing here?

It turned out that Lucy had been expelled from Quest University for bullying her classmates. Adding to that, her father, Ford, was also expelled for abusing his power in expelling students.

Without a job, Ford had no income and struggled to support the family. So, he vented all his anger on Lucy. Knowing she had no chance of marrying into a wealthy family, Lucy came to work at the karaoke bar, accompanying wealthy men older than her father for money.

Today, the man she was serving was an old client with some influence. Seeing Chloe here, Lucy felt she had to teach her a lesson.
