Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Quentin didn't like Anissa, but for some reason, he had to marry her.

After their marriage, they treated each other with respect. After having their three sons, Grant and his brothers, they gradually became friends who shared the same room.

Quentin was a man of integrity. Although he had no feelings for Anissa, he never caused any scandals outside and maintained the respect Anissa deserved.

But over the years, that was the extent of their relationship.

Anissa thought that all couples in the world should interact like she and Quentin did. So, on the night Grant and others picked up her from the airport and, seeing him holding Chloe's hand affectionately, she felt all sorts of dissatisfaction.

Especially when she saw Grant kissing Chloe in the garden of the Martin Mansion, Anissa couldn't accept it.

She felt that her son had been led astray by Chloe.

Moreover, Giselle had often spoken ill of Chloe in front of Anissa, which led to Anissa's consistently poor attitude towards Chloe.

Adelaide's support made Anissa back down. As Adelaide said, Chloe might not be able to afford such a luxury car, but the Davis Family could.

There was no need to create unpleasantness over a car.

Thinking of this, Anissa wanted to downplay the situation.

She said, "Let's just forget it. The Davis Family and the Martin Family have always had a good relationship. We shouldn't let a small matter cause a misunderstanding. It's just a car. It doesn't matter who bought it. I was just too hot-tempered earlier, arguing with the younger generation."

Anissa took a step back, seemingly preserving the dignity of both families. In reality, she conveyed a misleading message that the car Chloe was driving was bought by the Martin Family.

But Adelaide seized on her words and pressed further.

She said, "Mrs. Martin, you can't say that. Whether the car was bought by the Davis Family or the Martin Family makes a big difference."

"If the Davis Family bought it, it's through our own means, and no one can criticize us."

"But if the Martin Family bought it, it would mean my niece is taking advantage of the Martin Family. The Davis Family has money and doesn't need to rely on others to buy a car."

"Bring the receipts." Adelaide turned to her assistant.

At Adelaide's command, her assistant stepped forward and presented all the payment receipts for the car, displaying them in front of Anissa.

Adelaide explained, "Mrs. Martin, the car Chloe is driving was bought by the Davis Family. We have the evidence."

"The Davis Family has only one girl, and my father and I have always cherished her. We wouldn't let a car bring her any criticism."

"By the way, I should tell you, the Davis Family bought her seven or eight cars this time, so she can drive a different one from Monday to Sunday."

"Next time you see her driving a different car, don't say it's bought by the Martin Family. The Davis Family can't bear the responsibility of taking advantage of others."

Adelaide's words were a direct slap in the face to Anissa, who was left speechless. The people behind Adelaide were all wealthy and influential, and it wouldn't be long before Anissa's embarrassment spread through Sovereign City's elite circles.

Anissa was humiliated by Adelaide.

She signaled to Isidora to leave immediately.

Unexpectedly, Adelaide blocked Isidora from leaving.

Adelaide asked, "Who are you? What role did you play in humiliating Chloe?"

Faced with Adelaide's questioning, Isidora stammered and couldn't give a coherent

answer.

Helpless, she looked to Anissa for help. "Anissa..."

Anissa had to introduce Isidora, "She's a relative of ours."

Adelaide snorted, "What kind of relative? So indiscreet? Daring to humiliate the future mistress of the Martin Family? Mrs. Martin, you always pride yourself on strict family discipline, but now it seems even a relative with an ugly face dares to humiliate the future mistress?"

"Mrs. Martin, don't you think your family is going too far? If you really don't want Chloe marry into the Martin Family, you can ask Louis to call off the engagement. There's no need to bully her."

What a sharp rebuke, hitting the mark perfectly.

Standing beside Chloe, Rena looked at Adelaide with admiration.

She had always thought Adelaide was extraordinary, especially after seeing some of her works.

Now it was clear that shewas not just commanding and charismatic-she was also incredibly sharp, and one who absolutely loathed injustice.

A true goddess-level figure.

"This is just a misunderstanding..." Anissa lowered her voice, trying to explain to Adelaide.

But Adelaide retorted, "A misunderstanding? You humiliated the Davis Family's young lady and call it a misunderstanding? If I hit your relative and called it a misunderstanding, would you accept that, Mrs. Martin?"

Adelaide's words left Anissa at a loss for how to respond.

At this moment, Adelaide signaled to Chloe and then ordered, "Chloe, go up and hit that woman."

"What?"

Adelaide's straightforwardness shocked Chloe. With so many people around, Adelaide wanted her to hit Isidora?

Adelaide's boldness was beyond ordinary.

"I saw her being the most arrogant, saying the most when slandering you. Since Mrs. Martin says it's a misunderstanding, remind this relative to open her eyes and watch her mouth, so this misunderstanding doesn't happen again." Adelaide grabbed Chloe's arm and pushed her forward, indicating she should hit Isidora now.

The situation was getting complicated.

Anissa's dignity was already in tatters.

This was a mall, with people coming and going. Any small commotion would attract attention, especially matters involving wealthy families, which were always hot topics. Anissa had just returned to Sovereign City. If things got too out of hand, it wouldn't be good for the Martin Family.

To prevent the situation from escalating, she cleared her throat and lowered her voice to negotiate with Adelaide. "Adelaide... The Martin Family and the Davis Family have been friends for generations. There's no need to make a big deal out of a small matter."

"Chloe will still marry into the Martin Family. If things get too ugly, it will be hard for everyone to get along in the future."

"This is really just a misunderstanding. Isn't it a bit much to have Chloe hit someone in public?"

"In my opinion, let's just let this go. I'll invite you to dinner another day, and we can talk things over."noveldrama
