Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 52 Bullying the Martin Family

Chloe halted in the middle of the sentence, unwilling to repeat herself again. "I just brought you sporridge.

No need to get all worked up. If you don't want it, I'll just leave." After saying that, Chloe quickly backed away

from Grant. She grabbed the oatmeal porridge she had bought and was ready to make a run for it.

But before she could, Grant reached out and grabbed her collar again, pulling her back. "You brought me

porridge?"

Hearing that, Grant's anger started to fade. Chloe, trying to be helpful, handed him the simple takeout box.

Grant frowned. The Martin Family would have sent porridge in a fancy container, still warm. Chloe's plain paper

box with a weird thick straw looked pretty unappetizing.

Chloe seemed to pick up on Grant's thoughts. She quickly unwrapped the thick straw and stuck it into the

oatmeal porridge box, handing it to him. "Grantie, it's still warm. Want to drink it now? The doctor said your

stomach needs to be taken care of. Drinking more porridge will help you recover faster than... Eh, fagging

yourself."

Chloe's words had a double meaning. By "fagging," she was hinting at Sophia's earlier shameless behavior.

Grant thought he'd turn his nose up at the plain porridge, but he drank it without hesitation. Despite its look, it

tasted good and warmed his stomach. He felt a lot better afterward.

He sat down in his office chair and asked Chloe, "Why aren't you in school? What are you doing at my company

right now?"

Chloe quickly explained Rena's situation to him in detail.

When asking for a favor, you gotta have the right attitude. Chloe, who had known this since she was a kid, chose

her words carefully to please Grant.

"Grant, talking to the principal isn't a big deal. Can you helpget my friend back in school? | just moved here

and don't have many friends. Rena's one of the few | have, and | can't let her get kicked out because of me. |

swear, if you help, I'll stay away from Ford and his daughter."

Chloe's words made Grant frown. He couldn't believe Chloe was being bullied by Ford's daughter at school.

When he arranged for Chloe to attend Quest University, he had told Liam multiple times to look after her. Now,

what was going on? Was Liam slacking off?

And that Ford, who did he think he was? How dare his daughter bully Chloe?

Grant was clearly feeling protective.

After Chloe finished explaining, Grant suppressed his anger and said calmly, "Alright, | get it."

When Chloe heard Grant say he understood, she felt uncertain. What did he mean by that? Was he going to help

or not?

"Grantie..." Chloe looked at Grant with puppy-dog eyes.

Grant still didn't give a straight answer. "I have work to do. You should go home."

Chloe was speechless. After bringing him porridge and trying to be nice, this was his response? It felt like a

brush-off.

She glanced at his cup, feeling like her effort was wasted. If she had known, she wouldn't have spent five bucks

to fill his stomach.

Since Grant told her to leave, she saw no reason to stay and turned to go. Grant's voice called out behind her.

"I'll have Stanley arrange a car to take you home." Chloe snapped back, "No need, I'll take a cab myself."

With that, Chloe stormed out, her face full of displeasure. As she left, she even slammed Grant's office door

loudly.

Seeing Chloe's reaction, a smile crept onto Grant's lips.

Chloe had a bit of a temper, and he liked that about her. She was like a little firecracker, tempting but with

consequences.

After Chloe left Grant's office, Grant

called his assistant Stanley. "Stanley,

call Mr. Wallace, the principal of

Quest RULER gferqobh Yel

him hwari®o have dinner with him

tonight. Also, invite that Academic

Dean, last nKim." That Academic

Dean wasn't even worth Grant's time

to remember his full name. Daring to

mess with someone from the Martin

Family, he was doomed. The content

When Chloe left Grant's office, she

was still fuming. She kept muttering,

"What kind of person are you? You

drink my porridge bit dontifta

finger. Mithyou and your brothers’

attitudes, you think I'd pick either of

you as a husband? Get real. If I'd

known you were like this, | wouldn't

have rushed you to the hospital that

night you had a stomach attack.

Should've let you tough it out." The

After Chloe finished cursing, the elevator door opened, and the next second, Sophia appeared in front of her,

holding her head.

Sophia was accompanied by two

female employees who also seemed

to be from the Martin group. They

helped Sophia iptq WeDevatr. Upon

seeing DRGs, Sophia's hostility flared.

She had been convinced that Grant

was falling for her charms and that

she was just moments away from

getting him alone. But Chloe, that

wretched girl, spoiled everything. The

Chloe, already fuming at Grant for his lack of support, shot Sophia a glare. As the saying went, when enemies

crossed paths, sparks flew.

At this moment, one of the female employees accompanying Sophia kept flattering her. "Miss Brown, you really

go all out for the Martin group. Last time, you hurt your foot to save a client. This time, you hit your head to save

Mr. Martin..."
