Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Giselle watched Harry's actions, fuming with anger. Isidora had spent the entire morning making that oatmeal for Grant.

Grant couldn't drink it now, but they could save it for when he was able to eat. How could Harry just gulp it all down in one go?

Harry, after finishing the bowl of oatmeal, licked his lips, clearly wanting more.

Everyone expected him to praise the oatmeal, saying how well it was made.

But Harry disappointed everyone.

He said, "This oatmeal is pretty mediocre, doesn't taste good at all."

"If I hadn't been working all night and starving, I wouldn't have touched it. Giselle, whoever made this oatmeal isn't good at it. Don't let her make oatmeal for Grant again."

With that, Harry handed the empty bowl to Giselle, who was left speechless, staring at the empty bowl in her hands.

Harry brought over a wheelchair and said to Grant, "Grant, time to get up. I'll take you for your check-up."noveldrama

Grant understood and got out of bed, sitting in the wheelchair. With Giselle looking helpless, Harry wheeled Grant away.

Giselle was stunned.

She had come early to see Grant, hoping to make an impression, but instead, she was ignored by the younger crowd.

Especially Chloe, who wouldn't back down an inch.

Giselle couldn't quite let it go-someone daring to talk back to her had to face the consequences. After stewing over it and still finding herself unable to swallow her pride, she decided to act. Once she left the hospital, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. It was her sister, Anissa Rodriguez-Grant's mother, who was living abroad.

On the call, Giselle badmouthed Chloe, exaggerating everything to convince Anissa to stop Chloe from marrying into the Davis family.

She even mentioned the mole on Chloe's face, claiming she had consulted a doctor who said it was hereditary.

She said, "Anissa, It's not that I'm against Chloe marrying Grant, but let's be honest- her looks are... less than ideal. Just think about it. Our Grant is so handsome. If he ends up with Chloe, what kind of children would they have? What if every one of them inherits those... unfortunate features? A face full of moles?"

"So, Anissa, you need to come back and stop this. In my opinion, none of the Martin boys should marry Chloe."

"I think Harry from the Gonzalez family seems interested in Chloe. If it doesn't work out, let him marry her. After all, he has Louis's blood too, right?"

Giselle believed Anissa would return soon. She couldn't beat Chloe, but Anissa, as Grant's mother, surely could. Grant wouldn't dare go against his mother.

With this thought, Giselle headed to the Martin group.

Three days later, Grant was discharged.

Chloe, who had been taking care of him, looked noticeably thinner.

She took two days off from school to rest at home.

Grant was busy working in the sunroom, laptop in hand, while Chloe sat on a nearby couch, playing with her phone.

She was chatting with Rena and Zara.

Zara suggested: [Chloe, now that Mr. Martin is out of the hospital, we can continue our plan to seduce him.]

Rena chimed in: [Yes, I heard from Mic that Mr. Martin is recovering well and can work again.]

Seeing their messages, Chloe immediately refused.

She typed: [Let's pause the seduction plan. I'm afraid I might accidentally send him back to the hospital.]

Rena and Zara protested.

[Chloe, you can't stop the plan because of one small incident. You'll only get further from the truth,] Zara insisted, feeling like she was watching a TV drama and had to encourage Chloe.

Rena agreed: [Yes, Chloe, you need to be resilient. Otherwise, if you marry Mr. Martin and find out he has issues or doesn't like you, you'll be in trouble.]

Zara responded: [Exactly, a new writer told me that a man's feelings are shown by whether he wants to sleep with you. Chloe, go test him.]

Rena: [I support the test.]

With Zara and Rena's encouragement, Chloe, inexperienced in love, was quickly swayed.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try.

Grant was working on his laptop, and she wasn't far from him. Why not try to seduce him?

Holding her phone, Chloe lay down on the couch in a seductive pose, gazing at Grant with longing eyes.

A man focused on his work was indeed very attractive.

Grant's sharp eyes were fixed on his screen. Chloe's legs were getting numb from holding the pose, but Grant didn't glance her way.

Feeling defeated, Chloe coughed to get his attention, but Grant remained engrossed in his work.

Chloe thought maybe she wasn't showing enough skin to attract him.

Chloe, determined to make herself appear even more captivating, subtly tugged at the hem of her top, allowing a glimpse of her slender yet toned waist to peek through.

Her waist, honed from years of riding motorcycles, was a testament to her active lifestyle-tight, narrow, and incredibly supple, like a piece of sculpted art. Every time she caught sight of her own reflection, she couldn't help but admire it

'He has to notice me like this, right?' she thought, her mind racing.

Yet, Grant appeared utterly absorbed in his laptop, his fingers flying across the keyboard as if she didn't exist.

What she didn't know, however, was that Grant had caught every single one of her subtle movements through his laptop's camera.

As an adult, seven or eight years older than Chloe, he realized she was trying to seduce

him. He lowered his head ever so slightly, his lips curving into a subtle but unmistakable smirk...
