Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chloe shot Grant a fierce glare, hoping he'd get the hint to back off.

But Grant just smirked, meeting her eyes with a defiant glint.

Chloe wanted to glare back at him, but the memory of Grant's intense kiss when he lost his temper made her repeatedly remind herself not to confront him directly.

No one could guarantee that Grant wouldn't kiss her in front of everyone.

Chloe endured Grant's teasing and finished her meal in silence. Without bothering to

say goodnight to Grant or Liam, she hurried off to her room.

Watching Chloe's retreating figure, Liam chewed his food, looking puzzled.

"Grant, what's her deal?" he asked.

Grant glanced at Liam calmly and said, "Maybe she's afraid of the big bad wolf."

Liam didn't catch the double meaning in Grant's words at all.

He looked around the room and said, "The house seems pretty safe to me. No big bad wolves here."

Grant just smiled without saying a word.

Once in her room, Chloe let herself go. She flopped onto her bed, spread-eagle, and called Zara. "Zara, I can't take it anymore. Grant must be crazy."

Zara seemed to be at some event and responded, "How crazy?"

Chloe lowered her voice and said helplessly, "Tonight at dinner, he actually rubbed his foot against my leg."

"He's lost it. I can't stay at the Martin Family's house anymore. I need to leave. I'll rent a place. I'm moving out..."

Chloe calmed her restless heart and made a decision. Initially, Nicholas had her move into the Martin Family's home with the hope that she would develop some feelings for the three Martin brothers.

She thought that by presenting herself with an extremely unattractive face and an unreasonable personality, the Martin brothers would surely kick her out.

But that wasn't the case.

Liam had become curious about her and even considered her his goddess.

Michael, the idol of many fans, was willing to treat her as his rumored girlfriend.

Grant was the scariest of all, constantly hugging and kissing her. The dating standards of these rich young men were truly bizarre.noveldrama

If things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before she became the object of competition among the three Martin brothers.

Although she liked handsome men with good bodies and toned waists, she didn't want her grandfather to control her marriage.

Chloe was very frustrated.

After hearing Chloe's thoughts, Zara bluntly shot her down. "Chloe, calm down. Do you really think Mr. Grant Martin will let you move out?

People who know you would understand you're trying to avoid Mr. Grant Martin. Those who don't might think the three Martin brothers are bullying you.

Mr. Grant Martin dares to openly hug and kiss you in the Martin Family's house. If you move out, he might just camp out in your bed."

Zara's words heightened Chloe's sense of crisis. She realized that moving out might not be a good solution after all.

Given Grant's boldness, he might actually do something like that.

She needed to find a way to distance herself from Grant. Once he cooled down, he might lose interest in her.

"Zara, I remember Rena mentioning that Michael is filming in some remote area far from Sovereign City. The school's about to go on break, and as Michael's assistant, Rena has to go there. Maybe I could tag along with her for a while? That way, I can avoid Grant."

Hearing Michael's name, Zara immediately perked up. Michael was her idol, and since arriving in Sovereign City, she had been pestering Chloe to create opportunities for her to meet Michael.

Unexpectedly, Chloe ended up forcing Zara to be Liam's goddess for several months. Now that everything was clear, she no longer had to deal with Liam.

"Chloe, that's a great idea. With the school break, visiting Michael sounds perfect.

But I've heard the conditions where Michael is filming aren't great. For your safety, why don't you take me with you?

My aunt just bought a new RV. It's super cool. We could drive there and make it a road trip. What do you think?"

Zara's offer was tempting, and Chloe readily agreed.

Soon, they had everything planned over the phone. To avoid too many people knowing their whereabouts and to prevent Grant from dragging her back, Chloe and Zara agreed to keep it a secret.

In the following days, Chloe spent her time outside of school preparing for the trip.

Since they were taking the RV, she needed to stock it with personal items.

Food, drinks, toiletries, clothes-everything had to be prepared.

Afraid that Grant would find out about her plan, she didn't take any clothes from the Martin Family's house. Instead, she bought new clothes from the mall and stashed them in the RV.

Shopping for these items took up most of Chloe's after-school time.

One evening at nine o'clock, as soon as she entered the living room of the Martin Mansion, she was caught by Grant, who was reading a newspaper.

She had intended to just greet Grant and then go upstairs, but unexpectedly, Grant caught her and began questioning her relentlessly. "Chloe, the house staff tells me you've been coming home quite late recently."

Grant sat on the couch, legs crossed, looking every bit the authoritative figure. Seeing him like this, Chloe couldn't help but stick out her tongue.

She had seen him in his moments of unfulfilled desire, so who was he trying to impress with this serious demeanor now?

Remembering that she was still living in the Martin Family's house and needed to follow the rules, and with her trip plan about to be executed, Chloe didn't want any complications.

She answered Grant honestly, "Yeah, I've been coming home a bit late these past few days, but it's only nine o'clock. It's not that late..."

Grant frowned at her response. Nine o'clock? Not late?

He had been busy with work and hadn't had time to deal with Chloe. Was she getting out of hand?
