Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chloe realized that Grant was standing up for her because Lucy had sent Aaron to deceive her and Zara into going to that rundown hotel with bad intentions.

Grant was defending her.

Looking at Grant, who was protecting her, Chloe felt a warm sweetness in her heart, and a deep smile spread across her lips.

To prevent Grant from escalating the situation, she thought for a moment and then said, "Grantie, actually, I've already handled that matter. I've dealt with Lucy and that Aaron. There's really no need for you to make a big fuss over this."

Chloe glanced at the line of cars behind Grant's vehicle. The sight of the dozen or so cars following them was intimidating.

Grant reached out and gently patted Chloe's head, "If I don't make a big deal out of it, they won't know how protective I am of my own. I like to handle things thoroughly." "Anyone who dares to mess with my woman had better consider if they can handle the consequences," Grant said with a fierce determination in his eyes.

His assertive words made Chloe feel a heavy weight in her heart. She looked up at Grant's handsome face and suddenly felt guilty.

He saw her as his girl and was willing to stand up for her no matter what. But from the moment she stepped into the Martin Family, all she could think about was how to break off her engagement with them.

When they arrived at the agreed-upon hotel, Grant held Chloe's hand as they got out of the car.

A reporter who had been keeping an eye on the Martin Family somehow got wind of Grant's whereabouts. As Chloe and Grant stepped out of the car, the reporter rushed over with a camera.

"Mr. Martin, sources from the Martin Group say you showed a photo of your fiancee during a company video conference. But today, why are you so close with Miss Davis?"

"Mr. Martin, does this mean you're maintaining ambiguous relationships with two women at the same time?"

Grant was visibly annoyed by the reporter's intrusive questions.

From beginning to end, Chloe was the only woman he ever liked. These short-sighted people couldn't see Chloe's true identity at all. And they actually accused him of maintaining ambiguous relationships with two women?noveldrama

Fuck!

Grant's sharp gaze swept over the talkative reporter.

He retorted, "Don't you have anything better to do? How many women I keep close is none of your business. Stanley, get rid of him."

At Grant's command, Stanley immediately called over the bodyguards, who escorted the reporter away and forcibly deleted any unauthorized footage.

This incident was just a minor interruption, but Grant didn't realize that this reporter would cause him significant trouble in the future.

When Grant and Chloe entered the private room at the hotel, Perry was already waiting.

Perry was a man who appeared very gentle, with a short beard. From his appearance alone, Chloe couldn't associate him with an underground kingpin.

Perry's business dealings were always shady.

Chloe couldn't imagine how a man like Perry got entangled with Lucy.

Did he genuinely have feelings for Lucy, or did he just see her as a plaything?

Seeing Grant enter with Chloe, who had a mole on her face, Perry frowned slightly but quickly regained his composure.

These big shots were always good at controlling their emotions.

"Mr. Martin, Miss Davis," Perry greeted cheerfully, shaking hands with the visibly displeased Grant.

However, when Perry extended his hand, Grant ignored it and instead led Chloe to the sofa in the private room.

Offering his kindness only to be met with Grant's indifference, Perry's expression turned slightly embarrassed.

He cleared his throat and signaled his assistant to serve the food. The assistant, unhappy with Grant's attitude, looked like he wanted to stand up for Perry, but a cold glare from Perry made him back down.

As the food was served, Perry tried to engage Grant in conversation with a smile. "Mr. Martin, this hotel is under my name. To host you today, I specially brought in a chef from abroad. Please, enjoy the chef's skills."

Grant, with a cold expression, responded, "Mr. Gutierrez, you know the Martin Family never lacks good food. I'm sure you understand why I wanted to meet you."

Grant got straight to the point, making Perry's smile falter slightly. "Mr. Martin, I understand. The previous incident was just a misunderstanding."

"I asked my people and found out what happened. It was my new lover who didn't know her place and had a misunderstanding with Miss Davis. I've already disciplined her." Perry spoke as if it was a trivial matter.

He was certain that by saying this, Grant would back down. After all, in Sovereign City, there were very few people who could make him lower himself like this.

"Disciplined? Mr. Gutierrez, do you think I came here just for a simple discipline?" Grant made his displeasure clear. "Your woman is just a lover, but the woman beside me is my fiancée. Are you comparing your random lover to my fiancée?"

His message was obvious, "Your lover is not on the same level as my fiancée. Do you think a few words can settle this?"

Grant's words made Perry drop his smile. He turned to look at Chloe sitting next to Grant.

With her plain looks and average appearance, Perry, a shrewd man, couldn't see any exceptional qualities in Chloe other than her decent figure.

He couldn't understand why Grant would treasure such a woman.

He laughed awkwardly "Mr. Martin, as I said, it was just a small misunderstanding between women. It shouldn't affect our relationship.

The incident happened, and I've already disciplined my lover. What more do you want?

You can't expect me to kill her, can you?

After all, she's been with me for a few months. I do have some feelings for her."

Chloe didn't know if Perry truly had feelings for Lucy, but she could tell he was trying

to use the excuse to protect Lucy.
