Rural Belle & Three Heirs

Chloe propped her head up and said to Grant, "It was because Isidora said you two had a thing back in college."

Grant's face darkened at Chloe's words.

He got out of bed, grabbed the shirt lying next to it, and put it on. "She deserved it. I never had any kind of relationship with her in college."

Grant's dislike for Isidora had reached its peak.

"Hey, Grantie, I'm curious. Odette mentioned that Isidora humiliated you in college. How did she do it?" Chloe's curiosity was piqued, and she clung to Grant's arm, asking eagerly.

Grant hesitated, wanting to answer, but after thinking it over, he decided to change the subject. "Let's not talk about the past."noveldrama

Seeing Grant's displeased expression, Chloe wisely dropped the subject. Since Grant didn't want to talk about it, it meant that Isidora had caused him significant harm back then.

Since Chloe was currently staying with Adelaide, he couldn't stay out all night. After their time together, they got dressed, and Grant drove Chloe back to the Davis family mansion in his luxury car.

Grant returned to the Martin family mansion late at night. When Chloe lived at his home, he always rushed back after work, eager to talk to her. But after she moved out, the house felt empty. Every time he opened his mouth, wanting to call her, he felt a pang of disappointment.

Now that Anissa had brought Isidora to stay at the house, Grant's desire to avoid home was at an all-time high. He didn't want to set foot in the mansion.

Though he wasn't much of a smoker, he sat in his car and smoked two cigarettes before finally heading inside the Martin family mansion.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Anissa sitting in the living room, looking furious and ranting about something.

Isidora, acting all sweet and obedient, was serving tea and water, as if she were the future daughter-in-law of Anissa.

The household staff, seeing Isidora's behavior, were clearly annoyed. She acted like a lady of the house, ordering them around, but they tolerated it out of respect for Anissa.

But Isidora's behavior made everyone in the family very repulsive.

When Grant walked in, Anissa's face grew even darker, as if he had done something unforgivable.

Trying to appear considerate, Isidora quickly approached Grant. The scent of Chloe's perfume on him made her heart ache with jealousy. She knew he had been with Chloe again.

Despite her efforts to win Grant over, she always failed, while Chloe effortlessly kept his attention.

Isidora couldn't stand it. She had been the most beautiful girl in college, yet Chloe had outshone her.

Suppressing her feelings, Isidora said to Grant, "Grantie, Anissa is upset. Be careful when you talk to her. Her health can't take any more stress."

Grant was annoyed by Isidora's interference. He was the president of the Martin Group and the rightful heir of the Martin family. He didn't need Isidora, an outsider, telling him how to talk to his own mother. How coud she intervene his family issues?

Ignoring Isidora, Grant walked over to Anissa and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?" Anissa sighed and didn't speak. Being a prominent family, some matters couldn't be discussed in front of outsiders.

"Come upstairs to your study," Anissa said, standing up and heading upstairs.

Grant followed her, but Isidora suddenly appeared with a glass of water. "Grantie, take this water with you."

Grant was thirsty after spending time with Chloe, but seeing that Isidora had brought the water, his face darkened. "No, thanks. I'm not thirsty."

"Grantie..." Isidora was used to being snubbed by now.

Grant sneered, "I don't want to risk being drugged again."

With that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Isidora standing there, unsure whether to stay or leave.

A maid, whom Isidora had previously scolded, walked by and sneered, "Trying to

please Mr. Martin and failing miserably."

Isidora was infuriated by the maid's blunt words.

In the study, Anissa spoke quietly to Grant, "Grantie, do you know about Mic?"

Grant tensed up, thinking Anissa had found out about Michael dating Rena.

Rena's family situation was dire, with her mother in need of expensive surgery and her father in jail for kidnapping Rena and Chloe.

Given Anissa's attitude, she wouldn't approve of Chloe, especially considering she didn't even like Rena, who came from a poor

So he played dumb, "Mic? What's up with Mic? Isn't he doing well in the entertainment industry? I heard his new show is a hit. Why are you asking about him all of a sudden?"

Anissa grew angrier. "You're his brother! How can you be so focused on Chloe that you don't care about your own brother?"

"Mic is dating a guy. He's gay. He even had that... person call me 'Mom.""

Anissa's revelation was shocking. Grant felt like his brain couldn't process it.

Michael was supposed to be dating Rena, so how could he be involved with a guy? What was going on?
