Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 144 | Like Chloe

Zara was worried that Chloe was in the middle of an IV treatment, and yanking out the needle could make things

worse.

She held Chloe's hand tightly, trying to calm her down.

"Chloe, don't let her get to you. That fat woman's just crazy. Just ignore her.

She's just jealous and desperate to marry Mr. Martin, so she talks trash about you. With your status, you could

marry any of the Martin Family's sons. There's no need to fight over it.

Let's just focus on your treatment and not stoop to her level."

Zara was genuinely concerned for Chloe, holding her back from pulling out the needle to go after Sophia.

Sophia, on the other hand, had disliked Chloe for a long tand saw this as an opportunity to strike while Chloe

was ill.

So, she rushed to Chloe's bedside, intent on hitting Chloe. Just as her hand was about to strike Chloe's face,

Grant, who had gone to fetch swater, happened to return.

Seeing the situation, he dropped what he was holding and grabbed Sophia's hand, pushing her away from Chloe.

"Sophia, have you lost your mind? This is a hospital, not a place for your . Get out." Grant's deep eyes

flashed with a hint of menace as he scolded Sophia.

Sophia was startled by his gaze and instinctively stumbled back.

"Mr. Martin..."

"I've been wanting to kick you out of the Martin group for a while. If it weren't for your slight competence, do you

think you'd still be working as a parking lot attendant after that plagiarism incident?"

Grant showed no mercy, his disdainful look making Sophia feel utterly humiliated.

But she wasn't ready to give up just yet.

She turned to Moira, who was standing nearby, hoping to get her support.

Moira was the daughter of the Thorne family, and Sophia thought Grant might show her srespect.

So, Sophia tried to incite Moira. "Miss Thorne, see? This ugly girl, who knows how she bewitched Mr. Martin to

make him protect her so much...

You heard her friend earlier. She has feelings for Mr. Martin. Who knows, they might have been conspiring

together all along."

The accusation hit a nerve with Chloe.

She shouted, "Sophia, you're asking for trouble. Stop making things up..."

"Oh, really? Then swear that you and Mr. Martin are innocent, that you've never thought about becoming Mrs.

Martin. If you're lying, may you never see Mr. Martin again in your life..." Sophia's aggressive stance left Chloe at

a loss.

She and Grant had hugged, held each other, and even kissed. It seemed they were no longer innocent.

Even though she didn't want to marry into the Martin Family, Grant's passionate kiss had stirred sfeelings in

her.

What should she do about Sophia's demand for an oath?

Especially when Sophia mentioned never seeing Grant again if she lied, Chloe felt a pang in her heart.

Just as Chloe was feeling extremely conflicted, Grant, like a knight in shining armor, stepped in once more.

He reached out and grabbed Chloe's free hand in front of everyone.

"What happened between Chloe and me, what does it have to do with you? Even if we are together, do we need

to report it to you?

Whether she becomes my wife is up to me, not a parking lot attendant.

Sophia, aren't you meddling too much? Is your job at the parking lot so easy that you have tto interfere in

other people's lives?

Letmake it clear, I like Chloe. If anyone dares to mess with her again, they're messing with me.

Grant's declaration was like a thunderclap, leaving everyone in the room stunned.

They never expected the usually reserved Grant to make such a public confession to Chloe.

Zara looked at Grant with admiration.

Chloe, sitting on the hospital bed, was in a daze. Did he just confess to her?

She couldn't believe it. She thought Grant must be joking, maybe to annoy Sophia or

to discourage Moira from liking him.

He must be using her as a cover, just like he had done before.

Seeing Chloe's stunned expression, Grant smiled. He had wanted to do it for days.

To prove his sincerity, Grant ignored the others' gazes, bent down, lifted Chloe's chin, and gently kissed her lips.

The public kiss left Chloe's mind blank.

Sophia, seeing this, felt utterly defeated.

She couldn't understand how Grant could kiss Chloe's ugly face.

Moira watched coldly, recalling Sophia's earlier words.

Sophia had said that Grant and Chloe were ambiguous, and they had dragged her into

their to strengthen their bond.

So, she, the Thorne family's heiress, had beca pawn in their relationship.

For the first time, Chloe was at a loss for words. She had intended to introduce Moira

to Grant to free herself. But she hadn't expected things to spiral out of her control.

"Miss Thorne..."

Chloe wanted to get off the bed and explain to Moira, but Moira walked away, not giving her a chance.

Sophia stood in the room, unsure whether to stay or leave.

Until Grant told her to go. "Why are you still here?"
