Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 65 Kneel Down and Apologize

Chloe smirked, "I just said | would buy this painting to use as toilet paper. What's there to appreciate?"

Right after Chloe finished, she noticed Brian walking over with an older man, Nolan Watson. Brian's face lit up

when he saw Chloe, and he was about to greet her.

But before he could say anything, Sophia swayed her hips, pouted, and grabbed Nolan's arm. "Uncle, this ugly

girl is too much. She just said she wants to buy your painting to use as toilet paper." "What?" Nolan's face turned

red with anger. He glared at Chloe, his eyes full of hostility.

Sophia kept stirring the pot, "Uncle, it was her. She doesn't get art and trashed your work. | stood up for it. | told

her you wouldn't sell it, but she wouldn't back down."

Nolan was fuming. No man disliked pretty girls. If the girl criticizing his work had been even a bit attractive, he

might have been more tolerant. But her extrugliness and shamelessness infuriated him. "Nolan, let me

introduce you. This girl is..." Brian started, trying to keep the peace since it was his family's art exhibition. He

wanted to smooth things over by introducing Chloe.

But Sophia cut him off, "It doesn't matter who she is. My uncle is a famous contemporary painter and can't be

humiliated like this."

Nolan straightened up, feeling the need to assert his authority as a renowned painter.

Brian tried again, "Nolan..." But Nolan interrupted, "Brian, lending my paintings for your exhibition is already a

big favor. This ignorant girl dares to insultlike this? Today, you must drive her out of here, or else..." Nolan's

gaze shifted to his paintings. Most of the dignitaries at the Gibson family's exhibition were there for his works. If

Brian didn't handle things according to his wishes and he withdrew his paintings, the exhibition would be a

disaster. Brian knew Chloe's identity and was in a tough spot. He tried to reason with Nolan, "Nolan, she's just a

kid. Why get angry with her? Besides, the paintings are here for everyone to evaluate. Kids sometimes say the

wrong things, it's not worth getting angry over. How about this, after the exhibition, I'll personally visit you to

apologize. Kicking her out now is a bit much."

Brian was good with words. He tried to elevate Nolan's status, hoping Nolan wouldn't take things too far. No

matter what, he wasn't going to kick Chloe out today. After all, Brian knew better than anyone how the Gibson

family had made their mark in Sovereign City.

Nolan didn't want to push things too far either. The Gibson family hadn't borrowed his paintings for free; they

paid him a hefty fee. He was a famous painter, but even he needed money to live.

He sighed and said, "Alright, since you asked, | won't make things difficult for you. But you must make this ugly

girl kneel and apologize to me, and then we'll call it even. Brian, I'm willing to compromise for your sake, so your

family's exhibition doesn't end abruptly."

Nolan's demand made Brian break out in a cold sweat. Was Nolan losing it? How dare he ask the future mistress

of the Martin Family and the sole heir of the Davis Group to kneel?

Seeing Sophia standing beside Nolan with her arms crossed and a smug look on her face, Brian felt a surge of

anger.

"Bastard, don't be shameless. Do you deserve an apology? Just because that fat woman said so? Why don't you

ask what really happened?" Before Chloe could react, Zara got agitated and pointed at Nolan, cursing him out.

And while she was at it, Zara also took a jab at Sophia, who was somewhat plump but beca "fat woman" in

Zara's words.

"Exactly. It was Sophia who started it with Chloe. Now you want her to kneel and apologize? That's too much,"

Tony chimed in, backing up Zara.

If he hadn't spoken, things might have been easier. After all, Nolan didn't know his identity. But Sophia did.

Although she didn't know Zara's status, she was well aware of Tony's background.

So she said, "Uncle, he's Brian's son. How can a junior be so rude?"

Zara and Chloe had a simple system: Zara dished out the curses, and Chloe smoothed things over. After nearly

two months apart, they were still in sync. As Zara tried to leave, Chloe in tow, Sophia blocked their path.
