Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chapter 220 My Granddaughter Was Wronged



Giselle jabbed a finger at Chloe, her voice sharp with anger. "You're just twisting things around! You took something important from the Martin Group and now you're denying it..."

Chloe's eyes turned icy. "Ms. Rodriguez, as the CFO of the Martin Group, are you blind? Let me remind you, making false accusations can get you in serious trouble.

If you really think I took your partnership agreement, then show me some proof. Better yet, call the cops.

If the police find out I did take it, I'll face the consequences. But if you can't prove it and keep slandering me, don't blame me for not showing you any courtesy.

You want evidence? Keep dreaming. Grant, I'm going to bed. Show them out."

With that, Chloe straightened her back and marched upstairs to her room, not bothering with any pleasantries.

As soon as she returned to her room, all of Chloe's strength collapsed at that moment. She never imagined she would be subjected to such an injustice. She had merely visited Grant's office, only to be accused of being a thief.

Grant wanted to support her, but his efforts seemed insignificant against the overwhelming pressure.

At that moment, Chloe missed Nicholas terribly.

If Nicholas were here, anyone daring to slander her would have been dealt with swiftly.

Seeking some comfort, Chloe called Nicholas on a video chat.

It had been months since the grandfather and granddaughter had seen each other, and they started chatting over the video call.

Nicholas looked at Chloe on the screen and asked, "Chloe, what made you call me today?"

Chloe sniffled and said, "Nothing much, I just missed you."

"Oh? Missed me? That doesn't sound right. Chloe, with so many handsome guys in Sovereign City, you're not hanging out with them but missing me? Something's off." Nicholas immediately sensed something was wrong.

Chloe didn't want Nicholas to worry, so she forced a smile, "No handsome guy can compare to you, Grandpa. I just missed you."

Nicholas's heart softened at Chloe's words, and they chatted about family matters for a while.

Afraid that Nicholas, at his advanced age, would worry about her, Chloe chose not to tell him about being wrongfully accused tonight. After all, Nicholas was already quite old, and causing him additional concern would be highly unfilial of her.

After hanging up, Chloe opened her laptop to check the news about the missing partnership agreement from the Martin Group.

Meanwhile, after ending the call with Chloe, Nicholas spoke to Felix with a somber expression. "Felix, my granddaughter's mood was off today."

"Mr. Davis, what happened to Miss Davis?" Felix asked.

Nicholas analyzed the situation. "When she called, it seemed like she had been crying. I suspect she must have been wronged.

She has always been someone who shares good news but not bad, fearing that I would worry about her. The fact that she called me at this time indicates that she is in a bad mood."

"Felix, get in touch with the Martin Family and find out what happened to Chloe."

Felix didn't waste any time. He made some calls and soon had the information Nicholas needed.

When Felix presented the details to Nicholas, Nicholas was livid.

He couldn't believe that Chloe, staying with the Martin Family, had been treated so unfairly.

Leaning on his cane, he cursed, "The Martin family has gone too far. How dare they slander my granddaughter as a thief? We don't even care about their stuff. Do they really think we need their partnership agreement? Is this how they protect my granddaughter?

No way, I'm calling Louis right now to ask about that Rodriguez woman. Who does she think she is to bully my granddaughter? Forget the engagement. People might think the Davis Family is sucking up to the Martin Family."

Nicholas grabbed his phone, ready to call Louis.

Felix quickly intervened, "Mr. Davis, let's talk this through. You're too old to get worked up over this.

Miss Davis was falsely accused, and you're upset. But calling Mr. Martin won't solve the problem.

I think Miss Davis didn't suffer too much. Let's calm down, gather evidence, and clear her name."

Felix's suggestion made sense.

But Nicholas didn't agree. He raged, "Gather evidence? Do they deserve us providing evidence? Bullying my granddaughter like this is absolutely outrageous; those members of the Martin family have completely crossed the line."

Nicholas was too protective of Chloe to listen to reason.

Felix patiently persuaded him, "Mr. Davis, Miss Davis being falsely accused isn't entirely bad. It can test her abilities...

If she can't handle this small issue, how can she be the successor of the Davis Group?

If she marries into the Martin Family and becomes the lady of the house, she needs to

be able to protect herself. Right?"

Felix's words finally calmed Nicholas down.noveldrama

Indeed, he went to great lengths to send Chloe to Sovereign City to train her and make

her stronger, so that after his death, she could protect herself.

If he handled everything for her, she would never truly grow up.

Nicholas closed his eyes, steeling himself. After a long sigh, he said to Felix, "You're right..."

"But seeing Chloe suffer still hurts."

"We won't interfere, but we can't just watch her suffer. Felix, find the evidence!"

Late at night, Sophia and Isidora met in a small tea room.

Sophia sat across from Isidora, praising her, "Isidora, you are indeed formidable. When you finally made your move, that ugly girl fell into big trouble and realized that you're not someone to be trifled with. I always said, only you can be the lady of the Martin Family."
