Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 176 You Owean Explanation Seeing such a message made Chloe's scalp tingle. She felt that Rena had been led astray by Zara. Chloe couldn't help but reminisce about the obedient and sensible Rena she once knew. Rena had been led astray by Zara.

Fighting off her sleepiness, Chloe sent a scolding message to the group.

[You two, knock it off and quit talking nonsense.] Seeing Chloe's reply, Zara and Rena's gossiping spirits were even more ignited.

Zara: [Chloe, con, spill the beans about last night!] Rena: [Yeah, just the two of you, alone in a room, and nothing happened?] Zara: [Con, we're dying to know...] Chloe was at a loss for words as she read their messages.

She tried to clear her name: [Nothing happened betweenand Grant. Stop letting your dirty minds run wild.] Chloe thought that after sending this message, Zara and Rena would calm down.

But to her surprise, her message only fueled their imaginations further.

Indeed, when three women get together to talk, things get lively.

With her usual sharpness and sarcasm, Zara said: [Sharing a room and still nothing happened? Mr. Martin, perhaps he have some... functionality issues?] Rena immediately chimed in, adding: [I've seen Chloe's true face after she washes up. You look at such a beauty beside him, and Mr. Martin still didn't react? That is indeed a bit suspicious.] Chloe was completely speechless.

Just as she was about to scold them again, Grant walked in.

"Tto get up, breakfast is ready," he said.

"Oh, I'll get up right away." Seeing Grant reminded Chloe of their cuddling the night before.

In her fluster, she dropped her phone.

Grant instinctively bent down, picked up her phone, and casually glanced at the screen, seeing Zara's message. [Mr. Martin, perhaps he have some... functionality issues?] Grant's good mood instantly darkened.

As a man, being talked about like this by a group of women was humiliating.

Did they think he had erectile dysfunction? Or had Chloe been spreading the word about his erectile dysfunction to others? Seeing Grant's change in expression, Chloe quickly explained, "Grant, I didn't say that. They were just gossiping." "I didn't say... I really didn't..." Seeing Chloe's flustered state, Grant smiled slightly.

Forget it. Given Chloe's attitude, he decided not to hold it against her.

She should know whether he had issues or not.

Grant smiled, "Alright, stop explaining. Get up and have breakfast. I made plans with Mic and Liam to go to the hot springs. Oceancrest City's hot springs are famous for their health benefits." With that, Grant bent down and picked up Chloe, who was still in bed.

Chloe protested, "Putdown, I can walk." Grant gave a mischievous smile, "But I like carrying you." Chloe was completely speechless.

The group got into a large, high-end business van and headed to a secluded hot spring resort in Oceancrest City. Grant, Michael, and Liam sat in the front rows, while Chloe, Zara, Rena, and a few staff members sat in the back.

Having not seen Chloe all night, Rena and Zara immediately started gossiping as soon as they saw her. With their heads close together, they whispered amongst themselves, sharing secrets only they seemed to understand.

Rena was the first to speak, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Chloe, what happened last night? I asked you in the group chat for ages, and you didn't reply at all." Zara quickly chimed in, not wanting to be left out. "Yeah, Chloe, we were so worried about you. You have no idea how many scenarios we imagined." Hearing her two friends, Chloe couldn't help but roll her eyes at their gossip-hungry expressions. She felt a mix of exasperation and amusement. These two could never pass up a chance to dive into sgossip.

"Oh, con, can't you guys be a bit more serious?" Chloe shook her head in exasperation, knowing their so- called concern was just a cover for their insatiable appetite for gossip.

Last night, when she asked for their help and advice, they were too busy competing with each other to respond. Now, early in the morning, they were gossiping about her and Grant. Worried about her? Chloe put on a serious face and ignored them.

Zara glanced at Rena and whispered, "Rena, do you think Chloe's been traumatized?" "Yeah, maybe Mr. Martin was too much last night?" Rena replied.

Their conversation made Chloe want to punch them.

To stop them from talking nonsense, Chloe had to clarify everything. "Stop talking nonsense. Nothing happened between us. If you keep this up, I'll tell everyone about your little competition last night. I'll make sure Michael knows what kind of women have a crush on him." Lost in the world of this story? Make sure you're on Ñe5sto catch every twist and turn. The next chapter awaits, exclusively on our site. Dive in now! Chloe's threat made Zara and Rena immediately behave.

These two were more timid than Chloe had imagined, both hiding their crush on Michael.

Chloe was feeling a bit troubled. How could she possibly divide one Michael between two women? Half an hour later, the van arrived at the hot spring resort in Oceancrest City.

As soon as the van stopped, Michael called out to Rena in the back. "Rena, bring myjalothes to the changing room." Hearing her boss give her a task, Rena quickly stood up. "Yes, Mr. Martin, I'll bring them right away."

After Rena finished speaking, she grabbed Michael's clothes and prepared to leave. This • This was a propportunity to make an impression on Michael, and Zara didn't want to miss it. She followed closely behind Rena, saying, "Rena, those clothes. look a bit heavy. Lethelp you."

She squeezed her way to the front, ready to get off the van, but Liam's large handglamped down on her shoulder. "Zara, in a hurry?" Zara turned to see Liam's stern face.

Since the goddess incident, Zara had been avoiding Liam, fearing he'd cause trouble for her.

Even when Liam messaged her on Facebook, she didn't dare reply.

She thought she could avoid him this way.

But Liam had caught her.

Desperate, Zara put on a smile. "Mr. Martin, I'm just helping Rena. Do you need something?" Liam snorted, looking at Zara seriously. "Zara, don't you think you owean explanation?" With that, he tightened his grip on her shoulder and pulled her off the van.

Zara looked back at Chloe with pleading eyes.

She mouthed, "Help me... help me..."
