Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Anissa was on the verge of poking Chloe in the forehead and giving her a piece of her mind.

"Anissa, don't be upset. The fact that Grantie bought Miss Davis a car shows that Grantie likes Miss Davis. If Miss Davis is a bit flamboyant, it's no big deal as long as she's happy, that's what matters," Isidora said, perfectly timing her words to stir the pot. Her comment only served to make Anissa even angrier.

Earlier, Anissa had checked her credit card and found that the limit Grant had given her was only ten million dollars. But the luxury car he bought for Chloe was worth five times that.

Chloe hadn't even married into the family yet, and already Grant wasn't thinking about his mother.

If Chloe really married Grant, wouldn't Anissa encourage him to cut ties with herself? Anissa looked down at Chloe and said, "Do you think what I'm saying makes sense?"

She used those condescending words to humiliate Chloe, and then expected Chloe to agree with her?

Chloe slightly curled her lips and replied, "Anissa, what you're saying would make sense if you were talking about your own child."

"But since you're talking about me, someone else's child, it doesn't seem quite as reasonable."

Chloe was sarcastically pointing out that Anissa was overstepping her bounds. Chloe's last name was Davis, not Martin, so she didn't need to listen to Anissa's lectures.

"Oh! Quite the backbone, huh?" Anissa sneered, glancing at Chloe. When she saw the large mole on Chloe's face, she felt a bit of disdain.

She had heard from Giselle that Chloe's mole was hereditary.

Anissa didn't want her future grandchildren to have such a large mole on their faces. It would lower the Martin family's genetic standards.

Chloe chuckled lightly and stood tall. After a moment, she said firmly, "Yes, the Davis family never loses its pride."

"Since that's the case, why don't you drive that luxury car over to the Martin family?" Anissa didn't hesitate to throw out this demand.

Her words left Chloe speechless. Why should the Davis family's car be driven to the Martin family? Had the Martin family gone bankrupt and needed to steal her luxury car?

Isidora saw an opportunity and chimed in, "Miss Davis, it's one thing to date Mr. Martin because of an engagement, but accepting such an expensive car from him is a bit inappropriate."

"The Martin family is prestigious. Anissa doesn't want a daughter-in-law who looks too greedy."

Isidora's tone was light, without a single curse word, yet it felt like she was trying to belittle Chloe into the ground.

Frustrated beyond measure, Chloe couldn't argue with Anissa too fiercely, but that didn't mean she couldn't clap back at Isidora. She shot back, "You've really mastered the art of being a two-faced hypocrite, haven't you?"

"You? Chloe, that's too much. I'm just trying to give you some advice. How can you talk to me like that?" Isidora said, casting a glance at Anissa.

Chloe snorted and said, "Advice? Who are you to give me advice? Do I need your advice?"

"What gives you the right to advise me? Is your family background better than mine? Are you more educated than me? Or are you just more shameless?" Chloe didn't hold back with Isidora, hurling a few choice, less-than-polite words her way. It was clear that Chloe's battle mode was fully activated, and her combat effectiveness was definitely on the rise.

"Anissa, look at her... How can she act like this? She accepted such an expensive car from Mr. Martin, and we can't even say a word about it?"

Seeing Chloe's sharp tongue, Anissa, considering her status as Mrs. Martin, didn't want to make a scene.

She thought for a moment and said to Chloe, "Alright, you don't need to argue with her. If you really have pride, drive that car over to the Martin family. If you want to drive a car, buy one yourself."

Chloe's suppressed anger erupted. She flatly refused, "I won't! This is my car."

"Your car? That's too much. What gives you the right not to?" Anissa was genuinely angry.

"Because it's my car," Chloe argued.

"Your car? Show me the proof that you bought it. If you can't, you'll have to drive it over to the Martin family," Anissa said with the authority of Mrs. Martin.

Just as Chloe was at a disadvantage, Adelaide appeared.noveldrama

Adelaide always made an entrance, leading a group of people straight to Anissa.

Before she even arrived, her voice was heard. "Oh... Mrs. Martin, you are putting on quite a show. Trying to take my niece's car in broad daylight? Isn't that bullying?"

Adelaide's graceful presence and bright smile immediately overshadowed Anissa. Seeing Adelaide's face, Anissa's confidence wavered.

In terms of looks, the difference was clear.

Adelaide pulled Chloe aside and half-jokingly scolded her, "Chloe, have some backbone. Someone's trying to take your car, and you didn't even think to call your family."

"Are you just going to stand there and let them bully you?"

"Anyone who knows would think it's an elder lecturing a junior. Anyone who doesn't might think it's a daylight robbery."

Without using a single curse word, Adelaide had effectively labeled Anissa as a robber. Anissa's expression changed slightly.

She pursed her lips and said nothing.

Isidora, trying to show her support for Anissa, spoke up, "Anissa isn't bullying Chloe. She just wants to take back what's rightfully the Martin family's. The car Chloe is driving belongs to the Martin family."

But Isidora's attempt to stand out gave Adelaide the perfect opening.

Adelaide snorted, "You say the car my niece is driving belongs to the Martin family. Where's the proof? Without proof, it's slander."

"Chloe is still a college student. How could she afford such an expensive car?" Isidora presented her baseless evidence.

Adelaide responded smoothly, "She might not be able to afford it, but the Davis family can."

"Not just one car, we could buy ten more if we wanted."

"Mrs. Martin, are you trying to take my niece's car because your business abroad went bankrupt and you can't afford such a nice car anymore? No problem, if you really can't afford it, just tell Mr. Martin to get you one." Adelaide sneered.

The Mr. Martin Adelaide referred to was Grant's father, Quentin Martin, Anissa's husband.

Hearing the name Mr. Martin, Anissa's expression darkened. Adelaide had hit her weak

spot.
