Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 112 The Coolest Martin

'With Chloe's looks, he can still kiss her? As the saying goes, if he doesn't take responsibility, who will?

Michael was lost in his gratitude towards Grant.

After Michael's analysis, even the usually simple-minded Liam began to see the logic. He felt a wave of mixed

emotions deeply moved by Grant's self-sacrifice, yet inexplicably uneasy. Witnessing Grant kiss Chloe left him

feeling disquieted, although he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

The heavy, oppressive atmosphere at hbectoo much for Liam. Without a word, he picked up his

motorcycle helmet and headed for the door.

Noticing Liam's departure, Michael called after him, "Hey, where are you going?" Liam glanced back, replying

tersely, "Going for a ride."

Michael shrugged, watching Liam walk away. As he finished adjusting his suit, he grabbed his car keys too.

Today, he needed to hire a new part-tassistant for his company, and Chloe's classmate, Rena, seemed like

the perfect fit. Kind, gentle, meticulous, and not overly talkative, Rena exhibited the qualities Michael valued. An

assistant like her would help him maintain the privacy he needed as a public figure.

A few days later, Chloe's leg injury had almost healed. She wanted to go back to school, but Grant insisted she

stay hand rest a few more days to avoid any potential aftereffects.

Basking in the warm sunlight of the Martin Mansion's expansive garden, Chloe struggled with her boredom.

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle shattered the stillness. Tony, who hadn't been around for stime, pulled

up and climbed off his bike to see her.

The moment he laid eyes on Chloe, Tony launched into an animated update about recent events. "Chloe, do you

know what happened to Lucy, the one who kidnapped you? When the police found her, she'd been gang-raped

by those thugs so badly she couldn't even close her legs."

Chloe felt a surge of fierce satisfaction at the news. "Serves her right!" she spat. The memory of her own narrow

escape was still fresh and raw. She shuddered to think what might have happened if she hadn't been quick-

witted enough to use the money to save herself. It would have been her, not Lucy, enduring such a horrific fate.

Tony added, "And that Hugh didn't fare any better. | heard from sinside sources that Liam beat him up badly

this time, even swollen his head. Said Hugh had to pay since he didn't keep his thugs in check, letting them

mess with his family."

A smile tugged at the corners of Chloe's lips. She appreciated that Liam considered her part of his family, even if

their relationship had often been marked by bickering. This act of vengeance touched her deeply. She decided

that in their future arguments, she'd let him win at least three times.

Chloe reminisced about the countless moments shared with Liam. Despite their constant bickering and teasing,

it was precisely these playful arguments that drew them closer. Though Liam's words could sometimes be sharp,

deep down, he cared for her deeply.

Tony's expression turned admiring as he continued. "Chloe, do you know who was the coolest during your

kidnapping incident?"

Chloe, casually nibbling on imported cherries, looked up with mild curiosity. "Who?"

"Mr. Grant Martin, of course! They said he personally broke Hugh's leg. With that move, anyone in Sovereign City

who dares to mess with you in the future would be digging their own grave."

Tony's eyes sparkled with admiration, clearly idolizing Grant. "Chloe, you're so lucky to have someone like Grant

protecting you. If I had Grant as my backer, | wouldn't get bullied all the time."

A shadow passed over Tony's face as he said this, his usual bravado dampened. Chloe noticed and inquired

gently, "Who's bullying you now?"

Tony sighed heavily. "It's those bikers. Chloe, they bullybecause they're older and their bikes are better than

mine. Last time, you and Liam helpedout, but they still look down on me. They take every chance they get

to pusharound. Guess it's my fault for not being as skilled as them."

"These people are just bullies," Chloe declared, itching to show them a lesson or two. For the past few days,

she'd been convalescing at the Martin mansion, nursing her leg injury. Grant had been incredibly attentive,

ensuring she rested adequately. But Chloe wasn't one to stay idle for long. Her leg might have been injured, but

she wasn't incapacitated.

"How about | go and teach them a lesson for you?" she suggested, a mischievous glint in her eye.

Tony looked at her, alarmed. "Chloe, you can't. You're injured."

As if on cue, Chloe sprang up, her movements belying any notion of frailty. "I'm healed," she proclaimed with a

grin.

Tony said, "But Grant told you to stay hand rest."

"I can run and jump now. What rest do | need?" Chloe retorted, walking a few brisk

steps in front of Tony to demonstrate her recovery.

Tony raised another concern. "Chloe, if he finds out | took you out, won't he skinalive?"

Grant punishing Tony wouldn't be a matter to take lightly.

Chloe leaned in close, her voice

dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.

Thinking of this, Tony decided to take the risk of being punished by Grant and take Chloe out to regain his

dignity. He nodded and said, "Chloe, I've decided. Let's go now?"

"Okay, I'll go upstairs and change. You wait forat the back door. See you in ten minutes," Chloe instructed,

already heading for the stairs.
