Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 127 Hitting is Affection, Scolding is Love

John continued his analysis. "It's definitely possible. Remember when you invited Miss Davis to our script

meeting? She invested a large sum in your new film without

hesitation, right?"

Michael nodded. "Yes, that happened."

John continued, "Then you took her to a high-end party. | saw her clashing with Miss Taylor. If she didn't like you,

why would she be so hostile to Miss Taylor? | think she was jealous and didn't want you and Miss Taylor to be

seen as an on-screen couple..."

John's analysis seemed pretty spot-on.

Michael was starting to get a bit anxious.

He grabbed John and asked, "Can you dig deeper? See if there's anything else."

John said, "A couple of days ago, you left the set saying you were going to fix something for Miss Davis. Later, |

heard Miss Davis was watching shandsguy streaking, and as soon as you showed up, she disappeared.

Is that true?"

John's words made Michael nod heavily.

"At that moment, | thought Miss Davis ran away because she was afraid you'd see her watching another guy,

which would ruin her image in your heart," remarked John.

"That makes sense," Michael agreed.

John continued his analysis. "Think about it. It's been a few days since that happened, and now her friend has

applied to be your personal assistant to keep an eye on you. She hit you last night because she was jealous of

you getting too close to her friend. Mr. Martin, with my years of experience, | can tell Miss Davis definitely likes

you."

John's words didn't cause the panic Michael might have expected.

Initially, when Chloe first moved into the Martin Mansion, all three brothers wanted to stay as far away from her

as possible. The idea of marrying her scared them to death. But after spending stwith her, Michael

started to think Chloe wasn't so bad. If she got rid of that big mole on her face with scosmetic surgery, she

would actually be quite pretty.

Even if she didn't, he could use his makeup skills to help her cover it up. That wouldn't be too bad either.

Michael was starting to feel intrigued...

After getting into the car, he thought quietly for a while and then gave John sinstructions for their next

steps.

Michael ordered, "Get PR to squash all that crap online about Chloe hitting me. It was just splayful banter

between couple. Make it clear she's not aggressive she just lovesa lot. You know the old saying, 'if she hits

you, she loves you.' And deal with the folks calling for the Martins to break off the engagement. We're not

heartless, and we won't cancel an engagement set by the older generation. That's it..."

Michael leaned his tired body against the car's leather seat.

He murmured to himself, "Chloe likes me? Haha. No way, that's crazy! But honestly, I'm the only one who's been

nice to her. If she doesn't like me, who else? Liam calls her ugly, and I'm the one giving her respect and calling

her by her name. Of course she likes me!"

As Michael spoke, he started to feel a bit lucky.

Meanwhile, Grant, who had been busy with the Martin Group for days, heard about the online news through his

laid-back cousin, Harry.

Grant looked at the photos online and felt like laughing.

He had always told Michael to work out more, but Michael never listened. Now, he got beaten up by Chloe.

Among the three Martin brothers, he was the most disgraceful one.

Harry, sitting on the couch in Grant's office, read out sclassic online comments to Grant.

He mimicked sfemale netizens’ voices, saying, "Our Michael is such a great guy. He can't marry such an

aggressive woman."

"| represent Michael and demand that he break off the engagement with this aggressive woman."

"My poor Michael, who knows how badly he got beaten? So heartbreaking."

"This woman is too aggressive. How can she hit Michael? | want to protest against her. The Martin Family must

break off the engagement with her."

Harry was reading enthusiastically when, in a blink of an eye, the comments he had just read disappeared.

They were replaced by a wave of opposite comments.

[Because of love, Michael's fiancée got jealous. It's just a little playful banter between a couple. Is it worth

breaking off the engagement?]

[Michael hasn't said he wants to break off the engagement, and you netizens are just overreacting.]

[I think this girl and Michael are a good match. Michael has a good temper, and having

an assertive fiancée will keep him from being bullied.]

Harry was baffled by all this.

After reading everything, he cto a conclusion.

He turned to Grant and said, "Grant, you're off the hook."

"What do you mean?" Grant, who was looking at the situation, raised his head and asked Harry.

Harry said, "That ugly girl likes Michael. Grandpa will definitely make her marry Michael. Grant, you can bring

your lover hnow."

Hearing this, Grant's face changed. His little girl actually liked Michael?

He had been too busy these past few days to spend twith her, and now she had developed feelings for

Michael?

Chloe moved on pretty quickly, didn't she? Once he got through these busy days, he would definitely deal with

her properly.

A faint sense of jealousy rose from the bottom of Grant's heart.

To avoid these annoying thoughts from disturbing his mood, he locked his phone screen and focused on the

documents in front of him.

Grant looked at his watch. It was just nine o'clock, so he had an hour before the event.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright, we'll leave in half an hour."

"Yes, sir," Stanley replied and left.

Seeing Harry's behavior, Grant rolled his eyes.

"Does the Gonzalez family have no business? Why do you have to stick around here? You're ruining my good

mood," Grant complained.

In his view, if it weren't for Harry's meddling, he wouldn't have seen the rumors about Michael and Chloe online.

After Harry said this, Grant's eyes shot daggers at him.

Harry ignored it.

He continued, "Look, | know you don't want to hear it, but it's true. Chloe's not exactly

a looker, but she's got a good heart. Maybe Michael sees that. Anyway, I'm coming

with you. | need a break from all this ."

Grant sighed, knowing there was no point in arguing. "Fine, but don't cause any trouble."

Harry grinned. "Trouble? Me? Never."
