Chapter 171 Very Well-Matched Chloe glanced at Vernon and said, "We, the Davis Family, appreciate working with individuals who have a good attitude. If it's investment you're after, Mr. Graves, I'll make sure you get in touch with our venture capital manager at the Davis Group. If your project is promising, I can ensure the investment goes through." No sooner had Chloe spoken than Vernon immediately appeared agitated. His eyes gleamed with a complex mix of emotions, as if Chloe's words had stirred deep and tumultuous waves within him.
The distinguished guests present also straightened in their seats, their eyes revealing a mixture of surprise and excitement. Clearly, Chloe's statement had caused quite a stir among everyone in the room.
Even Grant was taken aback by Chloe's words. His brow furrowed, and his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment. All along, in his view, Chloe was merely a young girl, still in college, someone naive and inexperienced. How could she possibly say something like that? Grant had his doubts about Chloe's promise.
"Miss Davis, if this investment happens, you'll be my hero!" Vernon was so excited he looked like he might drop to his knees.
Chloe smiled warmly. "It's no biggie. It's a win-win." This clearly made an impression on everyone there. They quickly realized that if they didn't apologize, they'd lose favor with the Davis family, might miss out on future deals with Herman, and Grant wouldn't be too happy with them either.
Offending three powerful families at once was not a smart move.
If they apologized and Chloe let it slide, they could keep their collaboration with the Franklin family and maybe even score future opportunities with the Davis family.

Those women, who were so arrogant when they were berating Chloe just now, are now equally as embarrassed and disheveled.
They prided themselves on being high society ladies, yet here they were, bowing to a young girl. They had no one to blbut themselves. Why couldn't they just enjoy the art exhibit without making unnecessary comments? With the situation resolved, everyone dispersed.
Herman, who had backed Chloe earlier, saw Grant standing next to her and quietly left, chuckling to himself. As a driver before, he knew when to show up and when to step back.
But he wasn't done yet. After leaving, he hid in a corner and discreetly snapped a photo of Chloe and Grant walking side by side with his phone.
Grant, deep in conversation with Chloe, had no idea he was being photographed at this small art exhibit.
As they strolled through the artwork, Grant asked Chloe, "So, do you know much about business?" He was referring to her promise to invest in Vernon's venture.
Chloe smiled lightly. "I know a bit... After all, I grew up in a business family. Doing business doesn't seem too hard for me." Grant nodded. He got it. He too was born into a business family and had taken over the family business right after college.
"How sure are you that Vernon's investment will pay off?" Grant asked, wanting to hear Chloe's take.

Meanwhile, Herman had already posted the photo of Grant and Chloe walking together on Facebook and sent it to Nicholas's phone. [Mr. Davis, I unexpectedly ran into Mr. Martin and our Ms. Davis. Don't they look great together?] Herman looked at Chloe with the warmth of a grandfather.
At the Davis Mansion in the Northwest, Nicholas received the photo and was puzzled.
He called his butler, Felix, and asked, "Felix, who does Chloe actually like? Just a few days ago, there were rumors about her and Michael. Now she's walking with Grant? I heard from Zara that she's also the goddess of Liam...
Why can't v make up her mind? The Davis family has an engagement with the Martin family, but that means she should choose one of the three brothers, not marry all three." Nicholas was troubled.
Looking at the photo on his phone, he muttered, "Why can't b just settle down? But I must say, she does look good with Grant, doesn't she?" Felix agreed, "Mr. Davis, you're right. Our Ms. Davis is beautiful, inheriting your good looks. She would be a great match for any of the Martin brothers." Felix's flattery hit the mark.
Nicholas, who had been worried, now smiled. "Exactly, Chloe is beautiful and charming, That's why I have the confidence to let her choose a husband from the Martin brothers." Felix added, "So, Mr. Davis, you should just let Ms. Davis interact with them freely."
