Chapter 24 Regardless of Others' Lives

One of the guys quickly shot down Eric's words. "Eric, what are you even talking about? That girl is so ugly, there's no way she could be Mr. Martin's fiancée. He'd never go for someone like her." "Yeah, seriously, what kind of taste do you think Mr. Martin has? Even top singers and movie stars don't catch his eye. How could he possibly be into that ugly girl?"

"Exactly, I saw the disgust on Mr. Martin's face when he saw her. He looked like he was gonna puke. He'd rather look at a pig than her."

Everyone shook their heads, clearly in denial.

Eric didn't bother arguing with them.

He just said calmly, "If he's interested in her, that's a good thing. If not, then this whole situation is gonna be even harder to deal with."

"Eric, what do you mean?" they asked him again.

Eric explained, "She's staying with the Martin family to pick a husband. If Liam isn't interested, she'll end up marrying Grant or Michael and then manipulate Liam as his sister-in-law. Is that what you want?" Eric's analysis left everyone stunned. He was spot on what could be worse than Chloe becoming Liam's sister-in-law?

"Listen up, that ugly girl is gonna be part of the Martin family sooner or later. If you try anything shady against her, you better be ready to face the consequences!" With that, Eric concluded his statement and walked away, leaving the group to contemplate his words.

In the meantime, Liam promptly escorted Chloe to the hospital.
