Rural Belle & Three Heirs

"My name's Isidora Faye. I'm Mr. Martin's new secretary, starting today. I'm here to help him with some paperwork."

"You're Miss Davis, right? Stanley mentioned you."

"Miss Davis, please have a seat. I'll get you some tea."

Isidora was very hospitable, offering Chloe water and snacks, making sure she was well taken care of.

After making sure Chloe was comfortable, Isidora tactfully excused herself.

She said to Chloe, "Miss Davis, Mr. Martin should be done with his meeting soon. Please wait for him a bit. I'll get back to my work."

Chloe nodded at Isidora.

Soon, Isidora closed the door and left.

This wasn't Chloe's first time in Grant's office. She was quite familiar with it. Feeling bored, she casually opened Grant's bookshelf and picked out a book on business management to read.

Grant's meeting had not ended yet, and Chloe had been waiting in his office for a long time without seeing him return.

Worried that she might miss her 10 AM design class, Chloe had to leave Grant's office.

However, what she didn't expect was that the hour she spent in Grant's office would land her in a situation where she had to prove her innocence.

Back at school, Chloe hurried to her design class.

Philip and Rena had saved her a seat.

Seeing her flustered, Philip asked, "Chloe, how did the funding go?"

Chloe gave a helpless smile and replied, "Not well. I was hoping to get investment from Grant, but I went to his office early this morning and waited for an hour or two without seeing him."

"These investors are always hard to deal with," Chloe remarked.

Hearing this, Rena, also a woman, began to worry about Chloe. She frowned and said softly, "Chloe, you're dating Mr. Martin, and it's a problem if he doesn't come home at night."

She paused for a moment, her tone tinged with concern, and continued, "You need to be more vigilant. Don't let other women set their sights on Mr. Martin."

Rena's worry was evident, but Chloe didn't feel the same concern. She smiled at Rena and said gently, "It's not going to happen. Grantie wouldn't give other women such an opportunity; he's not that lucky with women. Besides, I trust him."

She then changed the subject, asking with concern, "By the way, how have things been between you and Michael these past few days? Have you resolved those tricky issues?"

Chloe was referring to Rena's father's gambling problem.

Rena nodded, "Yes, Michael helped me handle it. He paid off my dad's gambling debts, warned him not to gamble again, and moved my mom to a better hospital with a nurse. Otherwise, do you think I could sit here in class so calmly?"

After a bit more chatting, they started their class.

After school, Chloe was still worried about the funding, but Zara quickly called her. She said that Jessica had stepped in and helped Summit Media Solutions secure a considerable investment, so Chloe didn't have to worry about funding anymore.

Chloe was thrilled about the unexpected investment.

But before she could fully enjoy the moment, Zara told her something else over the phone.

"Chloe, did you hear? The Martin Group is in big trouble."

"Big trouble? What happened?" Chloe asked, puzzled.

Zara explained, "I just read the financial news. The Martin Group lost an important document this morning. This document could cause them billions of dollars in losses."

"The Martin Group must be in chaos right now because of it." she added.

Zara's words surprised Chloe, but she understood why Grant hadn't responded to her messages.

If this was true, as the president of the Martin Group, Grant had a huge responsibility. He was probably too busy with company matters to reply.noveldrama

With this in mind, Chloe felt relieved. She chatted with Zara for a while longer before hanging up.

In the afternoon, Chloe handled some work at her new company. When she returned

to the Martin Family mansion in the evening, she found it unusually crowded.

She not only saw Grant at the Martin Family villa but also saw Grant's aunt, Giselle Rodriguez. Sitting next to Giselle was Isidora.

As Chloe entered, she noticed Grant's serious expression. She was about to speak to him when Giselle approached her.

Giselle is Grant's aunt and one of the directors of the Martin Group. When Grant took over the Martin Group and became its president, Giselle, as one of the directors, became the Chief Financial Officer of the Martin Group.

During the time Chloe stayed at the Martin Family Mansion, she had met Giselle a few times. However, Chloe felt that Giselle was not an easy person to get along with. She didn't have much conversation with Giselle and didn't have a favorable impression of her. So they didn't have much interaction.

Seeing Chloe enter, Giselle immediately said, "Chloe, hand it over."

Giselle's words felt like a cold shower to Chloe. She had no idea what Giselle was talking about.

Maintaining her composure, Chloe asked, "Giselle, what do you want me to hand over?"

Giselle gave Chloe a sidelong glance and said, "The Martin Group's latest partnership proposal, of course. Chloe, you must know how important that document is to us."

"You can't use such tactics just to get Grant's attention." she snorted.

Chloe was completely baffled by Giselle's words.

She looked at Giselle innocently and asked, "What partnership proposal?"

After asking, she turned to look at Grant, who had been silent. When he heard Chloe's question, he frowned and stood by her side.

He then said, "Giselle, I told you, Chloe didn't take the proposal. She doesn't even know what it is."

Grant's words didn't calm Giselle. She glared at him and said, "Just because she says

she doesn't know doesn't mean she didn't take it. Thieves always claim they're innocent."

With that, Giselle's eyes locked onto Chloe.

Hearing herself being called a thief, Chloe's eyes turned sharp...
