Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chloe could tell Daisy was lying.

She had initially wanted to call her out, but since this party was thrown by the Franklin family specifically for her, it would be unseemly to start a confrontation with Daisy here.

With that in mind, Chloe smiled slightly and decided not to say anything more.

Since Daisy loved to boast, let her brag as much as she wanted. As long as she didn't cause any trouble for Chloe, she won't bother to pay attention to her.

Chloe was about to step back, but Daisy mistook her silence for fear, thinking Chloe was intimidated by her so-called boyfriend. Daisy couldn't help but feel smug.noveldrama

"Hey, Chloe, I heard your family has an engagement with the Martin family. Have you ever met Grant?"

Chloe just smiled without saying a word. She took a sip of her drink and said modestly, "No, Grant is very busy. He doesn't have time to meet me. Besides, I'm not exactly a beauty. I doubt I'd catch Grant's eye."

Chloe's retreat didn't make Daisy back off. Instead, Daisy thought Chloe might really have never met Grant.

With that in mind, Daisy started to show off. "Alexander is so good to me. He's tall and handsome, with big eyes, long hair, and bronze skin..."

Chloe was amused by her words. Was Grant's skin bronze?

Probably not.

The three Martin brothers all had classic features and fairly pale skin. Daisy claiming Grant had bronze skin?

Was she blind, or had she never seen Grant at all?

Chloe figured Daisy probably hadn't even seen a photo of Grant.

It was partly because Grant was excessively low-key. Although he had long been a legendary figure in the business world, he had always maintained a low profile and rarely allowed his photos to be published in the media.

Of course, there were some unscrupulous media outlet that attempted to take candid photos of him, but Grant had managed to deal with these situations effectively.

Seeing Chloe remain silent and indifferent, seemingly unaffected by the discontent and mockery directed at her, Daisy's eyes gleamed with a cunning light. It was as if she had found the perfect opportunity to further assert her presence in front of her family by using Alexander's name.

"Alexander is so gentle with me. Grandma, Alexander said that once we get married, his family will collaborate with the Franklin family in business. By then, the Franklin family's business will surely reach new heights."

Daisy's boasting drew praise from her sisters, and even Riley showed some appreciation for her outspoken granddaughter.

If Daisy was really lucky enough to marry Grant and become the mistress of the Martin family, the Franklin family would indeed rely on the Martin family's support.

The other granddaughters began to fawn over Daisy.

"Daisy, you're so fortunate to be chosen by Alexander."

"Exactly. Only someone as beautiful and talented as Daisy could have such good fortune."

"Unlike some people, who, even with an engagement to the Martin family, will never become the mistress of the Martin family."

As they spoke, their target shifted to Chloe.

They said Chloe was ugly, delusional, and had nothing going for her except her family background.

Riley scolded them several times, but it didn't stop their chatter. Chloe felt like she had been set up to attend a malicious gathering.

Daisy was arrogant, clearly looking down on Chloe.

Chloe couldn't stand it anymore and finally decided to fight back.

She asked Daisy, "Hey Daisy, are you sure you've really met Alexander?"

Hearing Chloe's question, Daisy reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "What do you mean by that? Of course, I've met Alexander! We're dating. Alexander comes to my school every week to see me. We've hugged, kissed, and even..."

Daisy didn't finish her sentence, leaving it to everyone's imagination, making them think she had slept with Grant.

"Oh... your relationship is that good? If it's so good, did Alexander tell you that I'm currently staying at the Martin family's mansion in Sovereign City?"

Chloe's words shocked everyone present.

Only Nicholas and a few top executives at the Davis Group knew Chloe's whereabouts. Herman, the Franklin family's former driver, had retired and had no right to know about Davis Group matters.

If Herman didn't know, his grandchildren certainly wouldn't.

"Really? You're staying at Alexander's house? He probably didn't tell me because he didn't want me to misunderstand," Daisy made an excuse to make everyone believe her.

"Alexander cares about me... He didn't want me to get jealous or upset..." she still tried to pretend.

Chloe laughed coldly. She continued, "If Alexander cares about you so much, why didn't he meet you when he came to Oceancrest City?

And, do you have vision problems? Alexander's skin is clearly pale. How could you see it as bronze?

You say Alexander cares about you, but I don't think he even thinks about you. I'm staying at his house, but I've never heard him mention having a girlfriend. Daisy, are you just making things up?"

In just a few words, Chloe put the pressure on Daisy.

Daisy, who had been showing off moments ago, suddenly looked sullen.

The Franklin sisters huddled behind Daisy, whispering.

"Daisy, did you really not know she's staying at the Martin family's mansion?"

"Yeah, she said Alexander came to Oceancrest City. Is that true? Why don't you contact Alexander?"

"Daisy, you always make a big deal out of things. Are you really just making this up about dating Alexander?"

Their whispers made Daisy lose face in front of everyone, and even Riley showed a hint of doubt.

Riley had heard Daisy talk about dating Alexander for a while and had suggested several times that Daisy bring Alexander home, but it never happened.

Chloe said she was staying at Alexander's house, and Riley seemed to recall hearing something about it.

After all, the engagement between the Martin and Davis families wasn't a secret, though no one knew which Martin brother Chloe was engaged to.

Since she was staying at Alexander's house, she must know something about him.

So, Riley asked Chloe with a hint of skepticism. "Miss Davis, may I ask, is Mr. Martin really in Oceancrest City now?"

Chloe nodded firmly and said, "Yes, he's in Oceancrest City. We were even at the hot springs together this afternoon."

Chloe's words made Daisy immediately retort.
