Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 68 Chloe's Identity

Hearing Nolan still call Chloe "ugly," Brian's face darkened. "Ugly girl?"

Brian's reminder made Nolan quickly change his tone, adding a bit of respect, "That young lady..."

Brian then spoke slowly, "I heard from my son that she might be the future mistress of the Martin Family."

"Her?" Nolan questioned, clearly finding it hard to believe that a girl like Chloe could becthe mistress of the

Martin Family.

Brian patted his shoulder and reminded him, "She may not have a gorgeous face, but Mr. Martin likes her. Those

few paintings he has hidden away, not many people can borrow them, and he even personally arranged for them

to be delivered. If Mr. Martin wants to spoil her, what can we do?"

Brian's words left Nolan feeling uncertain. He was really worried that Chloe might tell Grant about him bullying

her earlier. If that happened, he would be finished in Sovereign City.

He gloomily packed up his paintings, while Sophia moved slowly, full of resentment.

"Uncle, are we just leaving like this?" Sophia asked Nolan.

Nolan glared at Sophia unhappily. Today's mess was all because of her instigating and urging him. How could

things have gotten so embarrassing otherwise?

Now, things had already happened, and it was hard to change them.

"What else can we do? Stay here and humiliate ourselves?" Nolan snapped at Sophia.

With Grant's paintings hanging here, they would definitely outshine his work. The Gibson family had free

paintings to use; they didn't need to spend money renting his.

"But, Uncle, we..." Sophia still wanted to salvage the situation.

Nolan glared at her and scolded, "What do you mean 'but'? If it weren't for your instigating, would things have

gotten to this point? You're just a meddlesome, wasteful burden. Hurry up and pack my paintings, quickly."

After being scolded, Sophia didn't dare say anything more. She bent over and helped the staff pack Nolan's

paintings into boxes.

Seeing them like this, Zara and Tony felt quite satisfied, especially Tony, who stood up straight. If it weren't for

his connection with Chloe, how could they have gotten Grant's paintings for the Gibson family's exhibition? Just

because of his sibling-like relationship with Chloe, even his father would have to be more careful when talking to

him in the future.

Zara and Chloe sat in a corner of the exhibition, drinking coffee and gossiping about Sophia.

"Chloe, does that fat woman have a grudge against you? Why is she targeting you?" Zara directly called the

plump Sophia "fat woman."

Chloe shook her head. "I have no idea why she's got it out for me. Ever since | set foot in Sovereign City, she's

been givingthe cold shoulder. Last time, at the welcparty Grant threw for me, she stirred up all kinds of

trouble. Luckily, | was quick on my feet and dunked her in the water.”

Chloe gave Zara a quick rundown of her run-ins with Sophia.

Zara, using her imagination, said, "I get it. This Sophia must have a thing for Grant. Seeing you show up, she

thinks you're her competition. So, she's targeting you." Zara's guess was spot on.

Chloe rolled her eyes and said, "If she likes Grant, that's her problem. What's it got to do with me? If she wants

to mess with me, I've got plenty of ways to handle her." Zara nodded in agreement and after a bit, she said,

"Chloe, I think Grant might have a thing for you."

"No way," Chloe immediately shot back.

"Seriously," Zara insisted, trusting her gut.

"Nah! Don't say that. How could he

like me? Does he have a thing for the

mole on my face?" Chloe wasn't too

confident about her looks, even

though it was just a disguise. Tobe

fair, thou h,chasinreh dway was

the Ny point of it. Zara reasoned,

"But look at how he treats you. You

asked to borrow his paintings, and he

didn't even hesitate. And he said you

could walk freely in Sovereign City.

Just from that, | can tell Grant must

be one of those alpha males in the

movies!" Chloe was speechless at

Zara's analysis. She propped her face

with her hand and said to Zara, "Isn't

there another possibility that he's just

Zara was taken aback. "He's deliberately annoying Sophia? Is she worth it?"

Chloe explained, "Sophia works at the

Martin group and has been pestering

Grant, always considering herself

Mrs. Martin. Last time, | saw her.

made sense too, leaving Zara unsure.

She comforted Chloe, "Well, whatever

there are two more. Chloe, if | were

Seeing Zara like this, Chloe pouted. How should she tell Zara that Michael's nagging ability was top-notch? If she

lived with a guy like Michael, she might get depressed from his constant chatter.

The two chatted for a while longer, and guests started arriving, but Grant's paintings hadn't shown up yet. Chloe

wanted to call Grant to hurry him up, but Brian took the opportunity to introduce the guests.
