Chapter 33 Grantie Won't Buy You a Bag

Since Sophia had basically signed her own death warrant, Chloe saw no reason to let her off easy. Without missing a beat, she shot back, "Oh please, I can't fake it like you. Twisting your ankle to save a client? Why not just twist yourself to death? You really think Grant's buying that crap? He doesn't even notice you."

Chloe knew precisely how to strike where it hurt. Everyone knew that Grant's indifference towards Sophia was the worst-kept secret in their social circle.

"You... Mr. Martin likes your ugly face?" Sophia snapped back, her insult drenched in rage.

Truth be told, Chloe was nearly flawless. As a member of the prestigious Davis family, she stood leagues above the Browns. Her fit physique and keen intellect made her a standout. If it weren't for that mole on her face, there would be no contest at all.

Chloe didn't flinch at being called ugly. Instead, she stuck her tongue out at Sophia and retorted, "Yeah, I'm ugly, so what? Doesn't stop Grantie from looking at me."

"He would never look at your ugly face," Sophia fumed, her frustration evident.

Chloe smirked, "Not only does he look at me with an interest, but he also promised to buy me bags, tons of designer bags. If I can't carry them all, I'll just give them away. And you? Can you get Grantie to buy you anything? He wouldn't even let you smell his fart. Must be driving you nuts, huh?"
