Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 172 Mr. Gonzalez's Beloved "Ms. Davis is super smart and knows exactly what she's doing. There's no way she'd end up marrying all three of the Martin brothers." Felix's words made Nicholas nod in agreement.

Felix's words made Nicholas nod in agreement. "You're right... I heard from Herman that Chloe and Grant are in Oceancrest City right now. Maybe I should remind Herman to find a reason to keep them there a bit longer? Young people need ttogether to really connect, right?" Felix gave Nicholas a thumbs up and continued to butter him up. "Mr. Davis, you've done so much for Ms. Davis. She'll definitely appreciate it once she realizes your good intentions." Nicholas smiled. "She's my only granddaughter. I don't need her to be forever grateful; I just want her to be happy for the rest of her life." With that, Nicholas sent a message to Herman: [Herman, make arrangements for Chloe and Grant to stay in Oceancrest City for a few more days. Let them develop their relationship.] Not long after, Herman replied: [Mr. Davis, don't worry. I'll take care of it.] At the stime, at the art exhibition in Oceancrest City, the arrival of newcomer Floyd caused quite a stir. His fhad been rapidly rising in recent years, earning the admiration of many art enthusiasts and critics with his unique style and profound artistic perspective.

Today, at this grand art exhibition, Floyd had his latest painting ceremoniously unveiled, carried in by assistants. The painting was covered in a layer of sheer fabric, exuding an air of mystery and leaving its true form hidden from view. This move immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

The crowd buzzed with low murmurs and whispers, filled with anticipation for the artwork. After all, they had already heard that this piece was Floyd's magnum opus.

"What's the deal with Mr. Gonzalez making such a big mystery out of this painting? Why is it covered?" "Probably, he wants to get a good price..." "Con, does Mr. Gonzalez need money?" Chloe and Grant stood among the crowd, keeping their thoughts to themselves.

Especially Grant, as the eldest son of the Martin Family, he knew quite a bit about his brothers and cousins.

If Floyd was making such a big deal out of this, there had to be a reason.

"Hey, did you hear? I got sinside info that this painting is of a woman who caught Mr. Gonzalez's eye." Someone in the crowd, who seemed to know Floyd well, shared this tidbit. "This woman is very mysterious. Mr. Gonzalez couldn't find her, so he painted this in hopes that someone might help him find her." Everyone was immediately intrigued.

"What? Mr. Gonzalez has a crush? What kind of woman could catch his eye?" "If this woman is found, she'd be stepping right into happiness. Mr. Gonzalez has everything-family background, character, talent." "He's the dream man for so many women." The crowd buzzed with conversation, and Chloe felt a wave of unease rise within her.

Could the mysterious woman everyone was talking about be her? She had a chance encounter with Floyd in the mountains. Without her fake mole at the time, she hurriedly tried to escape and accidentally hit Floyd with a stone. In a moment of distraction, she glimpsed a sketch of her profile on Floyd's drawing paper.

Could this painting be that one? Grant, on the other hand, seemed indifferent compared to Chloe's nervousness.

He leaned in and whispered to Chloe, "My cousin's obsessed with medicine and painting. If he really found a girl he likes, my aunt would be over the moon about his marriage."

"Hey, Chloe, do you think Floyd's painting is really of a girl?" he asked.

Chloe, already worried about this, was caught off guard by Grant's question.

"How would I know? I don't know him well. He's not my cousin," Chloe replied, a bit impatiently.

Grant smirked. "He could be your cousin..." His words were intriguing, and Chloe felt like he was setting a verbal trap for her. "What do you mean? He's clearly your cousin..." "If you marry me, he'd call you cousin-in-law, and then he'd be your cousin too," Grant said casually, his eyes fixed on Chloe's face, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

From his gaze, it was clear he cared a lot about Chloe.

Chloe, feeling the intensity of his gaze, couldn't bring herself to look directly at Grant. She quickly averted her eyes and said, "You're annoying. Who wants to marry you?" Seeing Chloe's cute, angry expression, Grant's smile grew even more satisfied. He loved seeing her like this.

Little did he know how happy he was smiling at that moment, but he would be just as furious when he saw that painting later.

Soon, Floyd was ready to unveil the painting in front of everyone.

Now, please look at the painting..." With that, Floyd signaled the staff to remove the cloth covering the painting.

From Floyd's words, Chloe was now certain that the girl in the painting was her.

Suddenly, she didn't want to stay there any longer.

But Grant, with one hand in his but to see pocket, was eager to see what the girl who had captivated Floyd looked like. As the cloth was lifted, a beautiful profile was revealed to the crowd.

In the painting, Chloe was deeply absorbed in her own artwork, while Floyd's perspective was captured from just behind her. Floyd's skill in painting was exceptional, and he had masterfully rendered Chloe's profile with lifelike precision.

The profile was stunning. Any man who saw it would be mesmerized.

Gasps of admiration filled the room.

"Oh my, what a beautiful woman!" "Even as a woman, I find her so captivating..."
