Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 75 Feels Like Being Used

Right now, Herbert was a whole different guy from his usual cocky self. He hunched over, scanning the room

nervously. When he spotted Grant, he rushed over, his chubby face jiggling with each hurried step. He looked like

a clown on stage, totally ridiculous. "Mr. Martin, I'm Herbert. I'm so sorry about today. It was all a big

misunderstanding. | had no idea those paintings were yours. My bad. Please, have mercy." Herbert bowed and

apologized, but Grant didn't even look at him. Instead, Grant just lifted his foot and kicked Herbert's pudgy body,

sending him flying like a ragdoll.

Everyone was stunned by Grant's move. They always thought of Grant as this refined, gentle guy. They never

expected him to be so ruthless, and it freaked everyone out.

After getting kicked, Herbert didn't dare fight back. He quickly got up and crawled back to Grant. "Mr. Martin, I'm

sorry, it's all my fault. If kickingmakes you feel better, go ahead and kicka few more times."

Seeing Herbert's good attitude, Grant didn't hit him again. He pointed at Herbert and scolded, "Stealing my

paintings isn't the issue. The problem is you dared to threaten my family member? Since when did you start

running Sovereign City, Herbert?"

Herbert broke out in a cold sweat, racking his brain to remember any dealings with the Martin family. Where was

this coming from?

But he didn't dare ask Grant. After all, Grant's assistant, Stanley, had already taken control of all his men. If

Grant got pissed, he could kill him anytime.

"Mr. Martin, | was wrong," Herbert kept apologizing.

Grant, with a stern face, glanced at Chloe and then said to Herbert, "The person you threatened wasn't me.

What's the point of apologizing to me? Go apologize to her. If she forgives you, we'll let it slide today. If not,

you're done." Grant's protective stance over Chloe caught everyone's attention. What girl wouldn't want to be

with such a handsand domineering guy?

Even Zara, who was always into Michael, looked at Grant with a bit more admiration.

Herbert turned to Chloe and apologized, "Sorry, miss, that's on me. | was clueless and messed up. Please cut me

sslack and forgive me. | swear I'll steer clear and this won't happen again."

Earlier, when Herbert was beating up the Gibson family, he was as arrogant as he was now humble in

apologizing to Chloe.

Chloe glanced at the members of the Gibson family who had been bullied by Herbert for a long time. She

thought for a moment and said, "Forto forgive you today, you have to agree to a few conditions."

Herbert's life was in Grant's hands. Chloe asked him to agree to conditions; how could he not agree? He quickly

said, "Miss, whatever conditions you have, I'll agree to them."

Chloe thought for a moment and said, "First, you can't mess with the Gibson family or their business anymore."

Hearing Chloe's condition, Herbert hesitated. The Gibson family had been his cash cow for years. Giving that up

was tough.

Seeing his hesitation, Grant's face turned cold again. "You don't agree?"

Herbert quickly replied, "I agree, | agree."

Chloe then laid out a second condition. "You have to return all the money you've taken from the Gibson family

over the years."

Herbert was unhappy. That was a huge chunk of change. How could he return it?

Seeing Herbert's reluctance, Grant lifted his foot and kicked him again. Under pressure, Herbert could only say,

"Okay, okay, I'll return it when I get back."

Chloe continued, "Third, you can't insult anyone from the Gibson family again, especially Aunt Brenda. Can you

do that?"

Chloe's three conditions not only safeguarded the Gibson family's interests but also protected its women.

Standing beside Brian, the beautiful Brenda wept, as no one knew the pain Herbert had caused her over the past

two years.

"Okay, okay, I'll agree to whatever you say." Herbert had no fight left in him and had to agree to everything.

After stating her conditions, Chloe looked at Grant, who was standing next to her. Grant understood and said to

Herbert, "You can leave now."

Herbert nodded and left in a hurry. As he left, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He thought that falling into the hands of the ruthless Grant in the business world, he was surely dead today.

Unexpectedly, he managed to escape with his life.

After Herbert left, the Gibson family was overjoyed. They expressed their gratitude to Grant in various ways,

knowing Herbert's bullying would have continued without him.

Recognizing Chloe's contribution, the Gibson family had Brenda hold Chloe's hand, treating her like her own

niece.
