Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 42 Attending the Party

As soon as Chloe said that, everyone was floored. Ford, standing next to Lucy, went pale, and Lucy was at a loss

for words. She wanted to back out, but Chloe kept pushing, not giving her any room to escape. The classmates,

who had been bullied by Lucy for ages, were thrilled to finally get a chance to vent. They started gesturing wildly.

"Yeah, admit you're a loser, Lucy. You said it yourself. If you can't get Chloe expelled today, you gotta admit you

and your dad are both losers."

"If you don't own up, this won't end well. We'll go to the principal, the media, and let them stand up for us, the

classmates you've bullied." "Admit it, hurry up and admit it."

Lucy was fuming. She grabbed Ford's arm and stomped her foot, saying, "Dad, what do we do? If | admit it, you'll

be a loser too."

Ford looked at his foolish daughter, wishing he could knock ssense into her. It was one thing for her to admit

she was a failure, but dragging her father down with her was just ridiculous.

As things heated up, Ford, in his role as Academic Dean, decided to calm the students and suppress the

situation. After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly made up his mind.

He glared at Lucy and scolded, "Alright, you made a bet, so admit it. What's the big deal? It's all your fault,

causing trouble. Let this be a lesson for you. From now on, no more bullying your classmates." Seeing Ford's

stern face, Lucy didn't dare act out anymore. She lowered her head and walked up to Chloe. After giving Chloe a

fierce look, she muttered weakly, "My dad and | are both losers." Before Chloe could react, the classmates were

pumped. They all shouted, "Too quiet, we can't hear you."

"Yeah, louder, we can't hear you."

These people knew how to get their revenge. As their voices grew louder, Lucy had no choice. She bent over,

bowed, and loudly said to Chloe, "My dad and | are both losers."

After saying that, Lucy ran off. Chloe figured that after this lesson, Lucy would probably never dare to bully her

classmates again.

As the wrapped up, Ford exchanged a quick word with Liam before hurrying off. His reputation as

Academic Dean had taken a serious hit today.

After Ford left, Liam approached Chloe, desperation etched into his features as he tried to cclean. "Chloe, |

swear, | didn't tell Lucy to bully you."

Liam almost swore to the heavens. But Chloe ignored him. Liam was worried. What did Chloe's silence mean?

Would she still help him get the contact from Tony?

"Chloe, you have to believe me. | really didn't know about Lucy's plan. If | had known, | would've stopped her."

Liam declared, lowering himself emotionally in a way he never had before. Seeing his sincere attitude, Chloe

finally said, "Alright, I'll believe you this time."

"Then don't back out on the contact thing," Liam pressed on.

Chloe didn't give him a straight answer. She said, "I'll think about it. It depends on how you behave, Liam."

"Got it," Liam grinned.

After school that afternoon, Chloe and Rena walked to the school gate together. Rena clung to Chloe's arm and

said, "Chloe, I'm telling you, you still need to be careful around Lucy in the future." "Why?"

"Her dad is the Academic Dean. This time, with Liam and the whole class backing you up, he didn't expel you.

But who knows what he might do to you in secret later," Rena said, looking at Chloe with concern. She had heard

from her parents that sadults were like that. They couldn't gain an advantage in public, so they bullied

people in secret.

"If he really expels you from school, that would be a big problem," Rena was genuinely worried for Chloe.

Chloe comforted her, "It's okay, don't worry. If he dares to cafter me, I'll fight back hard."

Rena thought Chloe was just trying to comfort her. "You never take things seriously. | am worrying about you, but

you don't care at all," Rena complained. Chloe put her arm around Rena's shoulder and said, "Oh, don't worry. |

actually hope he expels me, so | don't have to stay in Sovereign City and suffer." Chloe's words made Rena

frown. She didn't know about Chloe's engagement to the three Martin brothers.

"Chloe, what are you talking about? How is staying in Sovereign City suffering? | think you're just looking for an

excuse not to go to school."

"Yeah, | just don't want to go to school."

"You're annoying."

The two of them laughed and joked.

Michael pulled Chloe into his car. But Chloe hated socializing and never liked attending parties.

"I don't want to go. | don't even drink. Just takehome," Chloe said while playing with her phone.

Hearing that she didn't want to go, Michael's handsface showed a bit of disappointment.
