Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 74 Good Acting

When Chloe spoke up, Brian, the seasoned businessman, felt like his whole world had been flipped upside down.

Herbert was known as the big bad wolf in Sovereign City. He was always the one pushing people around. The idea of someone trying to shake him down for money was just laughable. But Chloe, this gutsy girl, had the nerve to say such bold things.

Everyone soon got busy with their tasks. Zara and Tony were in charge of counting the paintings Herbert's guys had damaged, while Chloe chilled in a corner of the exhibition, sipping tea.

As she enjoyed her tea, she texted Nicholas: [Grandpa, I messed up today. I lost a few of Grantie's paintings, and he's super mad. Do you think he'll send me back to the Northwest?] Nicholas replied with just a question mark.

Not giving up, Chloe texted again: [Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to stay at the Martin Mansion; it's that they're kicking me out.]

After a bit, Nicholas finally responded: [Don't worry. It's just a few paintings. If Grant kicks you out over this, I bet Louis would break his legs.]

Seeing Nicholas's reply, Chloe's hope of being sent back home disappeared. She started typing another message to Nicholas.

Soon, Nicholas texted again: [Chloe, just stay at the Martin Mansion. Even if you lost his grandfather, he wouldn't dare let you go. Get along well with the three heirs. I have high hopes for you. That's it for now; I'm off to watch a live stream.] Reading her grandpa's message, Chloe was speechless. She couldn't figure out why her usually modern-thinking grandpa was so set on her staying with the Martin Family.
