Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Zara's suggestion left Chloe completely floored.

Drugging someone? Wasn't that the despicable act of a scoundrel? Chloe, who prided herself on her integrity, had she really sunk to such desperate lows, driven by an insatiable hunger? What bizarre notions had taken root in Zara's mind?

"Drug Grant? How'd you even come up with that idea?" Chloe shot Zara a disapproving look. "I'm not doing it. If you want to drug someone, go drug Liam."

"Besides, you two aren't even together yet. Maybe drugging him will speed things up between you."

Zara was caught off guard when Chloe suddenly shifted the focus onto her. Flustered, she waved her hands and replied, 'Chloe, we were discussing your matters. How did it suddenly turn to me? Okay, let's drop that. Let's continue talking about the spiking incident.

Just as Zara finished speaking, Chloe's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Chloe got excited.

"Zara, hush, it's an important call..."

"Who is it? A big client?" Zara leaned in curiously.

When she saw the name on Chloe's phone screen, Zara's eyes widened in surprise. "Aunt Adelaide? Is it really her?" Zara was thrilled.

Chloe nodded. "Yeah, it's really my aunt... Let me take this call, and please, don't say anything."

Chloe answered the call, while Zara was beside herself with excitement.

Adelaide's story was legendary in the Northwest. She was incredibly talented and had made a name for herself at a very young age.

The Davis family, in Nicholas's generation, had very few descendants. He only had two children: Adelaide and Chloe's father.

Nicholas had hoped Chloe's father would have more children, but Chloe's father passed away early due to poor health.

Nicholas then focused all his energy on Adelaide, pressuring her to marry early to continue the Davis family lineage.

But Adelaide was rebellious. She had no interest in taking over the family business or in having children. So, she secretly left the country to pursue her own passions.

When Chloe was in elementary school, Adelaide returned to the Davis family once, but after a falling out with Nicholas, she disappeared again.

Chloe didn't see her aunt often, but that didn't mean Adelaide didn't care about her. Since Chloe's father passed away, Adelaide had taken care of all of Chloe's needs every year.

When Chloe was in elementary school, she got into a fight with a classmate and accidentally injured him.

The Davis family compensated the other family, but they were relentless, demanding that Chloe be hurt in return.

Nicholas was absolutely livid. He couldn't stand by and watch someone bash the head of Chloe, whom he cherished and protected in the palm of his hand. Yet, being someone of his stature, he couldn't lower himself to the level of those scoundrels. Revealing the full might of the Davis Family would, after all, smack of bullying.

Out of options, Nicholas sent a message to Adelaide: [Someone wants to hurt your niece.]

Adelaide received the message and immediately flew back to the Davis family. The next day, she stormed into the school, determined to get to the bottom of the fight.

It turned out the boy had started the fight and insulted Chloe, calling her an orphan. That's why Chloe fought back.

Adelaide was furious and wanted to confront the boy's parents.

The incident caused quite a stir. Young Chloe looked up to her aunt like a goddess, seeing her as a savior.

To Chloe, Adelaide was like a fairy sent by God to protect her, embodying the image of

a mother who would do anything for her child.

So, when Chloe received a call from Adelaide, she was understandably excited.

"Aunt Adelaide, it's Chloe..." Chloe quickly introduced herself as she answered the call.

On the other end, Adelaide seemed to be chatting with friends.

Hearing Chloe's voice, she laughed heartily before speaking to her. "Chloe, I'm in Sovereign City. I'm meeting a friend right now. Do you have time to come over and chat?" Adelaide, having lived abroad for years, was very polite with Chloe.

Chloe eagerly replied, "I have time. Even if I didn't, I'd make time for you." "Great, I'll send you the location. Be good and take a cab over. When you get to the gate, just tell the guard you're looking for Aurelia." With that, Adelaide hung up. Chloe quickly got ready and decided to bring Zara along to meet Adelaide.

Adelaide had met Zara when she returned to the Northwest Territories, but it had been many years, and Chloe wasn't sure if Adelaide could still remember Zara.

Zara was ecstatic about meeting Adelaide.

On the way, she kept asking Chloe about Adelaide's past. After all, Adelaide was unlike anyone Zara had ever met.

Zara wanted to know everything about Adelaide to avoid saying anything wrong when they met.

So Chloe filled Zara in on Adelaide's story.

"My aunt always wanted to be an actress, but my grandpa didn't approve. You know, my dad passed away early, and the Davis family needs her to inherit the family property"

"But my aunt wasn't interested in that. She secretly left and joined the entertainment industry.noveldrama

My grandfather sternly cautioned her that if she insisted on making a name for herself in the entertainment industry, she must never let anyone know her surname was Davis. After all, steeped in tradition as he was, he simply couldn't stomach the idea of his daughter-destined to be a heiress to a wealthy family-throwing it all away to become an actress.

After weighing her options, my aunt ultimately chose to pursue her dream. She adopted the stage name Aurelia Kingsley, keeping her mother's maiden name, and thus embarked on her journey as an actress in the limelight."

Chloe explained everything to Zara.

Zara was in awe. "I always knew Adelaide was in the entertainment industry, but I didn't know she changed her name to Aurelia."

"Now that you mention it, I know a lot about Aurelia. Her movies are even used as teaching material. Her acting skills are top-notch."

"Chloe, how do you have such a great life? You have a good family, you're doing well yourself, you have a great boyfriend, and now you have this amazing aunt. How do you get all the good things?"
