Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 14 The Mole on Your Face is Crooked

Sophia thought, 'This ugly girl is acting all high and mighty just because of her status. She even dares to mess

with the Martin Family's business, dreaming of becoming its mistress. Why? I've loved Grant for five years and

won't let any woman take my place as his future wife."

The rich ladies around were stunned by Chloe's casual yet commanding presence. They realized they needed to

get close to Chloe to secure benefits for their families in the future. After all, she had her pick of the three young

heirs of the Martin Family.

Sophia? She was just picking up Chloe's leftovers.

Soon, the ladies swarmed around Chloe with apologies. If Tony's brief defense had boosted the Gibson family,

maybe their own families could get a piece of the pie too. "Miss Davis, it was all a misunderstanding earlier. We

hope you can be generous and not hold it against us."

"Exactly! We were short-sighted. Miss Davis, your dress is stunning! Where did you get it?"

Chloe casually replied, "Grant bought it for me. | don't know where he got it. How do you like it?"

These suck-ups, prompted by Chloe, started showering her with compliments.

"This dress is amazing! It's expensive and looks fantastic, it suits you perfectly."

"Only someone with Miss Davis's grace could pull off this dress! Mr. Martin has excellent taste."

Chloe knew exactly how to stir the pot. She made sure to mention that Grant bought her the dress, which drove

Sophia crazy.

She had been by Grant's side for five years, following him around every day, and he hadn't even bought her a

bracelet. Now, he bought this ugly girl a dress worth millions? No way, she couldn't let this slide.

Sophia schemed to humiliate Chloe, demonstrating that no pricey dress could shield her from the impending

embarrassment.

While Chloe was chatting with the ladies, Sophia quietly moved closer. She glanced at the pond nearby and

immediately had an idea.

She suddenly reached out and pushed Chloe towards the pond. As Chloe's body tilted and she was about to fall

into the water, she caught sight of the evil grin on Sophia's face. Chloe wasn't going to let her get away with it.

So she grabbed Sophia's clothes and dragged her in too. The pond was shallow, and although Chloe could swim,

she was determined to make sure Sophia faced consequences for her actions. So, Chloe pretended she couldn't

swim, pushing Sophia's body down into the water.

Sophia struggled desperately to get up, but every ther head emerged, Chloe slapped her back down.

Sophia kept gulping down water while Chloe, who was a pro at swimming, adjusted her breathing and gave

Sophia a rough tunderwater.

As the two splashed into the pond, the crowd around them started freaking out, yelling for help. When folks from

the hall rushed over, they saw Chloe, who supposedly couldn't swim, clinging tightly to Sophia. Sophia, nearly

drowning thanks to Chloe, was desperate for air. She clawed at Chloe's hands, trying to break free.

But to the people on the shore, it looked like Sophia was trying to push Chloe under.

A slightly tipsy Grant showed up at the pond and immediately spotted the small, helpless Chloe in the water.

Without a second thought, he tossed off his jacket and jumped in.

He quickly swam over and pulled Chloe out.

Chloe's hand was still gripping Sophia's dress. As Grant lifted her, she ended up tearing off Sophia's dress.

Sophia's strapless dress slipped off, leaving her wet and exposed in front of everyone.

She quickly used her arms to cover herself.

Seeing Grant holding Chloe, she pitifully called out, "Mr. Martin, save me!"

Grant, without even glancing her way, coldly replied, "Do you require saving?"

Sophia, bewildered, had ingested a lot of water; surely, she needed rescuing?

Ignoring Sophia, Grant carried Chloe

into the manor. Snuggled in his arms,

Chloe shot a smug wink at Sophia.

Sophia felt wronged. Could she say this was her own doing?

Grant carried Chloe to a room in the manor. On the way, Chloe stayed nestled in his arms. Grant, worried she

might catch a cold, quickened his pace.

Chloe, trying to make conversation, said, "Grant, I'm sorry, | didn't mean to cause you trouble. | just can't swim."

Hearing Chloe's words, Grant was speechless. The little girl said she couldn't swim? Well, he would believe her

this time.

"Okay, if you can't swim, stay away

from the water in the future. You go

shower first. I'll get Mia to sor yau

Grant, also soaked, was dripping wet.

As he brought Chloe to the room's

door, he prepared to leave. Chloe

opened the door, ready to go inside.

At that moment, Grant seemed to remember something. He stopped and suddenly turned around. "Chloe."

"Yes? Grant, do you need
