Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Sophia was tempted to rush forward and disfigure Chloe's already unattractive face, tearing it apart. In her anger, she thought that would strip Chloe of any charm she had to lure Grant. Watching Chloe's hand held tightly by Grant only fueled Sophia's rage.

She watched, fuming, as Grant lovingly helped Chloe into his fancy car.

Just then, the janitor who cleaned Grant's office came out with a trash bag. Spotting Sophia, she hurried over. "Miss Brown..."noveldrama

"What is it?" Sophia asked, crossing her arms and looking down at the janitor.

The janitor said, "Miss Brown, while I was cleaning Mr. Martin's office, I found this in the trash. Thought you might want to see it."

She handed Sophia a discarded manuscript with a unique dress design, and Sophia's eyes lit up when she saw it.

'Could this be Grant's work?' Sophia thought.

There was a design competition at the company. Why not perfect this design? Even if it didn't win first place, it could at least snag an excellence award, right? If Grant saw how smart and talented she was, he'd definitely see her in a new light.

With that thought, Sophia happily took the discarded manuscript and rushed to her office, excited.

Meanwhile, Grant led Chloe to a super fancy restaurant and took her to a luxurious private room. Inside, a few people were already seated, including a very elegantly dressed woman.

When they saw Grant bring Chloe in, they all stood up to greet him. After some polite chit-chat, Grant asked everyone to sit down.

Through introductions, Chloe learned that the elegantly dressed woman was Moira Thorne, the daughter of David Thorne, who was sitting next to Grant.

David didn't know who Chloe was, so he kept talking up his daughter to Grant. "Mr. Martin, my daughter Moira just graduated from a university abroad. She majored in business management. In the future, she'll handle the cooperation between the Thorne Group and the Martin Group. You young folks have similar mindsets, you should get to know each other better..."

Hearing this, Chloe, who was about to dig into her food, suddenly got it. Wasn't he trying to set Moira up with Grant?

Why did Grant bring her along? What was he up to? Was he using her to make Moira look better? Or was he using her to mess with the Thorne family's plans?

Whatever the reason, Chloe felt like she was being used by the sly Grant.

She came to Sovereign City to pick a husband from the three Martin heirs. So far, it seemed like Grant was the most interested in her. He kissed her and showed he wanted to get closer to her.

Even though he was a bit older, he was rich, good-looking, and had a great body. If he kept seducing her with his fit waist, she might not be able to resist. With such a handsome guy like Grant, Chloe knew she would submit to his charm one day.

Chloe really lacked confidence in herself. She knew she had no resistance to such handsome guys.

To mess up the marriage alliance, there was only one way: find a suitable partner for each of the three heirs.

On Michael's side, Karlie was clinging to him. On Liam's side, Zara was doing everything to keep him from seeking out Chloe. But Grant was a tough nut to crack. Even though Sophia liked him, her character was sketchy, and Chloe didn't want her to win.

Now, looking at Moira, she seemed pretty decent. She wasn't bad-looking, had an above-average appearance, and carried herself well. She could be a good match for

Grant.

To get rid of Grant, setting him up with Moira would be perfect. But now, Grant actually wanted to use Chloe to get rid of Moira's father's sales pitch. Absolutely not.

Chloe's mind wandered, focusing on how to set Grant up with someone else. But Grant was being super attentive, constantly serving Chloe food in front of David's family.

Chloe was being taken care of by Grant, feeling pleasantly uncomfortable. Especially when she received the scrutinizing gazes of the Thorne family, she couldn't help but feel awkward, as if being roasted over a fire.

Just at that moment, David turned to Grant and asked, "Mr. Martin, Miss Davis is your..."

Before Grant could introduce their special relationship, Chloe quickly cut in, "Mr. Thorne, I'm Grant's cousin..."

As soon as she said that, the tense expressions of the Thorne family instantly relaxed, even Moira looked relieved. But Grant's face turned icy. He looked at Chloe, trying to figure out what she was up to.

Chloe continued, "I study at Quest University and am temporarily staying with Grant, as Louis asked him to take good care of me. Mr. Thorne, I think it's great for Moira to interact more with Grant since they're both top business students with a lot in common. I think they'd make a great pair."

Chloe's words made David and Moira happy, especially David, who beamed with delight.

The Thorne family's business in Sovereign City was just okay, so a connection with the Martin family would be a big win. If Moira could marry Grant, it would be even better. Thinking of this, David cheerfully said to Chloe, "Young lady, you have a good eye." Chloe smiled and kept eating. Earlier, Grant had been serving her food, and now Moira was personally serving her.

"Chloe, this green vegetable is really good, try it."

"Chloe, do you want some chicken? It's really well-stewed."

"And there's crab, do you want to try it?"

Faced with Moira's enthusiasm, Chloe accepted everything with a smile.

However, beside her, Grant's face was dark. How much did Chloe dislike him to push

him towards another woman? Was she asking for trouble?
