Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Mia glanced nervously upstairs as she spoke.

Grant was furious. He looked at Chloe's belongings scattered on the floor and said to Mia, "Gather Miss Davis's things and put them in my room."

With that, Grant headed upstairs.

Grant's steps were swift and resolute, as if fueled by an anger he could no longer contain. He charged straight toward Chloe's room, each stride intensifying the storm of worry and unease brewing in his chest. Bursting through the door, he was met with a scene that lit the fuse of his fury-there stood Giselle, directing Isidora and a handful of servants as they yanked Chloe's bedsheets off with a roughness that felt almost personal. The sight was the final straw, and Grant's temper erupted like a volcano. "What the hell are you doing? Who told you to touch Chloe's stuff?" Grant shouted at Giselle and Isidora.

He snatched the bedsheets from Chloe's bed and put them back, then ordered the maids and Isidora to leave immediately.

Grant was usually easygoing, and the Martin Family's staff had never seen him this angry. They quickly left the room.

Isidora stood next to Giselle, looking at Grant with an innocent, two-faced expression.

Giselle visibly jumped at Grant's sudden outburst, her face turning pale as a sheet. Her right hand flew to her chest in a reflex gesture, her breath quickening as she tried to steady herself. "Grantie, what on earth is wrong with you? You scared me!"

Grant stared directly into Giselle's eyes and said, "Giselle, is the finance department not busy enough lately? You seem to have too much free time."

Despite his dissatisfaction with Giselle, Grant's upbringing made him maintain a basic level of respect for her.

Giselle replied, "Grantie, I'm your aunt. Do you think I want to help you clean? Your mom called me, saying she'd be back in Sovereign City soon and asked me to tidy up the house."

Giselle spoke with confidence.

Grant asked, "If you're helping my mom, why are you tidy this room up?"

Giselle smiled hypocritically, "Your mom likes things clean. I thought I'd tidy up the whole house. Chloe is an outsider, after all. Her things need to be cleared out." "Wouldn't it be better if your mom didn't see a stranger's belongings in the house?" Her words seemed reasonable, painting Chloe as an outsider.

But Grant retorted, "Chloe is not an outsider. She's my grandfather's chosen fiancée for me."

"My house is huge, with plenty of rooms upstairs and downstairs, plus the ones in the backyard. There's no need to throw out Chloe's things."

Giselle was unfazed by Grant's questioning.

She glanced at Isidora and said, "Your mom has other plans for this room. She wants someone else to stay here... Grantie, you don't have a problem with your mom's decisions, do you?"

Grant was annoyed that Giselle was using his mom against him.

He said, "This room was mine before Chloe came. I gave it to her. Now that Chloe isn't staying at the Martin Mansion, this room is mine. Even if my mom wants someone else to stay here, it's not happening."

Grant called downstairs, "Mia, bring Chloe's things back up and put them back as they were. Change the lock on this room. From tonight, I'm moving back in."

"If anyone enters this room without my permission, don't blame me for being rude."

Grant's pointed remark made Giselle uncomfortable. Moments later, Mia, under Giselle's murderous glare, brought Chloe's things back and arranged them as they

were.

Isidora's eyes were filled with envy as she watched Mia place the designer bags on the shelves.

While cleaning the room, Mia had told them it was Chloe's room and that the items were gifts from Grant, advising Giselle and Isidora not to touch them.

Isidora was envious of Chloe's designer bags, knowing they were worth a fortune. If she could get her hands on them, she could sell them online and cover her daughter Kathy's medical bills for a while.

She envied Chloe for being important to Grant. If she could take Chloe's place, those things would be hers, and she wouldn't have to worry about Kathy's medical expenses anymore.

Isidora felt a surge of determination, not because she wanted to be with Grant, but because she wanted his wealth.

Grant unceremoniously kicked Giselle and Isidora out.

As they went downstairs, Isidora nervously whispered to Giselle, "Giselle, Mr. Martin seemed really upset. I think he's angry about what happened."

Giselle dismissed her concerns. "So what if he's angry? He doesn't run this home."

"But I'm worried that if I move in, Mr. Martin will be even angrier," Isidora said anxiously.

Giselle almost revealed the plan for Isidora to move in.

"His anger doesn't matter. You moving in isn't my decision or yours; it's my sister Mrs. Martin's. She needs someone like you to take care of her. Grant can't ignore his mom's health, no matter how upset he is."

Giselle was confident that using her sister Anissa would keep Grant in check.

"But... Mr. Martin seems very protective of Chloe's things. I think he has feelings for her," Isidora said, lacking confidence.

Since joining the Martin group, she hadn't felt any warmth from Grant. Instead, she sensed his deep affection for Chloe.

However, Giselle snorted, "Feelings? Young people's feelings are just hormones and physical attraction. Chloe has moved out, and with Grant's busy schedule, their feelings will fade."

"You should use this opportunity to get closer to Grantie. He's a sensitive man. If you win his heart, he'll be devoted to you."

Giselle's bluntness left Isidora speechless.

Feigning innocence, Isidora asked, "How can I make Mr. Martin devoted to me?"

Giselle advised her, "Sleep with him. No man can resist a woman after sleeping with her. If Grant is an exception, then sleep with him again."

"Isidora, I believe that love grows over time!"
