Chapter 221 Killing and Destroying the Heart
Hearing Sophia's compliment, Isidora gracefully picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a delicate sip.
"I've told you before, my goal has never been to become the lady of the Martin Family," she said.
Isidora's words instantly excited Sophia. Originally, she wanted to use Isidora to drive Chloe away from Grant. Then, she planned to use Isidora's actions against Chloe to eliminate Isidora, leaving her as the only woman by Grant's side. Eventually, everything would fall into place, and she would become the lady of the Martin Family.
Unexpectedly, Isidora didn't care about becoming the lady of the Martin Family. If that was the case, it saved Sophia a lot of trouble.
With a smile, Sophia said to Isidora, "Isidora, I knew it, your vision is far beyond that of an ordinary woman. Tell me, do you think Mr. Martin would believe that Chloe stole the Martin group's letter of intent, after all the effort you put into framing her?"
Isidora put down her wine glass and said, "Does it matter if Grant believes it or not?" "If Mr. Martin doesn't believe it, there's no way to drive Chloe away from him. That woman is so annoying," Sophia said, her hatred for Chloe reaching its peak. But she had been defeated by Chloe before and didn't have the courage to confront her again.
"Even if it's proven that Chloe took the cooperation proposal, I can't guarantee that Grant will drive her away." Isidora replied. "I never do things I'm not confident about. I prefer actions that strike at the heart."
Isidora's explanation was a bit profound, and Sophia didn't quite understand. She frowned and looked at Isidora.
Isidora continued to explaine, "I haven't interacted much with Chloe, but I can tell that she is very proud, given her noble background. She won't tolerate such grievances.
Grant wants to protect her now, but faced with the fact that Chloe entered his office, he can't defend her. After all, Ms. Rodriguez will put some pressure on Grant.
Chloe is alone in Sovereign City. If she feels wronged, she will definitely have a big fight with Grant. At that time, if Ms. Rodriguez stirs things up, do you think Chloe will stay by Grant's side?
I want Chloe to be so heartbroken that she leaves Grant on her own. With her personality, she will never look back."
After Isidora's explanation, Sophia finally understood.
In the past, when she confronted Chloe, she only wanted to overpower her and gain some small advantages. Now it seemed she was really wrong. Only someone like Isidora, with such high-level tactics, was worthy of confronting Chloe.
She would just wait for Isidora to drive Chloe away and then reap the benefits.
Sophia showered Isidora with more compliments, but Isidora calmly sipped her drink, not paying Sophia any mind at all.
Isidora never lacked men. She agreed to cooperate with Sophia only to take advantage of the opportunity for some benefits.
As Isidora had predicted, Chloe, feeling wronged, was in a particularly bad mood. After taking a shower, she curled up in bed with her blanket, venting her grievances in a group chat with Zara and Rena.
When Grant pushed the door open, Chloe acted like she didn't see him, turned over, and kept playing her phone.
Seeing Chloe in a bad mood, Grant sat down beside her. When he tried to gently touch her forehead, Chloe swatted his hand away.
She was clearly upset.

Grant tried to comfort her, "Chloe, I know you were wronged today."
Hearing Grant's words, Chloe's tears started falling like a broken string of pearls.
She threw her phone aside, sat up, and said to Grant, "You knew I was wronged? When your aunt and your secretary were interrogating me, did you think about how I felt?"
Grant had stood up for Chloe at the time, but Giselle's aggressive stance left him with no chance.
Grant knew he was at fault. If he hadn't agreed to let Giselle and Isidora come over, Chloe wouldn't have been wronged.
Seeing Chloe's tears fall one by one down her cheeks, Grant felt as if his heart was being cut with a knife. Words of explanation caught in his throat, unable to be spoken. He could only hold Chloe's frail shoulders tightly, repeatedly murmuring, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Chloe, please don't cry." Grant's voice was filled with obvious anxiety and helplessness.
However, faced with Chloe's tears, he seemed utterly at a loss, unsure of what to do. He couldn't bear to see her so distressed, and his heart was full of self-blame and guilt.
Through her sobs, Chloe murmured softly, "I didn't take your company's cooperation proposal, I really don't need it."
Her words were intermittent, filled with endless grievance and sadness. As Grant listened, his pain deepened, and he held her even tighter.
He quickly responded, "I believe you! Tomorrow, I'll have Stanley investigate this matter thoroughly."noveldrama
Grant comforted Chloe for a long time before she calmed down.
She wiped away her tears and began questioning Grant. "Then tell me, how did Isidora become your secretary? I heard from Stanley that you never used to have female secretaries."
Hearing Chloe's question, Grant slowly began to explain. "Yeah, I never used to have female secretaries... but Isidora was arranged by Giselle.
Isidora and I were college classmates. Yesterday, when you were in my study, I suddenly got a call from her. She said Giselle had a sudden illness and she happened to be there. She took Giselle to the hospital and asked me to come over as soon as possible.
You know, Giselle doesn't have any family in Sovereign City. When she suddenly fell ill, I
had to go.
When I got to the hospital, I found Isidora taking care of Giselle. I thanked her and thought she would leave, but Giselle had already notified the HR department to make Isidora my secretary. I was stunned."
Grant's words left Chloe puzzled.
She asked, "Why did Giselle think of making Isidora your secretary?"
Grant said, "During the time I was on my way to the hospital, Giselle learned that Isidora had just returned to the country and hadn't found a job yet. Out of kindness, she notified the HR department to make her my secretary.
I was very unhappy with Giselle's arrangement, but at the time, she was lying in a
hospital bed with a heart condition. I couldn't refuse her."
Grant looked troubled as he said this.
Chloe casually asked, "So, according to you, Giselle wants to set you up with Isidora?"
