Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 83 I'm Scared

All the guests had already arrived, and Chloe was scratching her head, wondering who else might be arriving now.

When the car pulled up, Chloe saw Grant step out, ditching his usual suit for a cool, casual look. Spotting Chloe at the orphanage entrance, he started teasing her. "Chloe, seriously? You set up this volunteer gig and invited Michael and Liam but left me out? What's up with that? Do you think I'm not good-hearted enough to lend out a helping hand or just too broke to donate?"

As soon as Grant finished, a swarm of reporters rushed over, snapping pictures like crazy. Compared to Michael and Liam, Grant was the big fish they all wanted to catch.

The orphanage might have looked plain, but it was pretty impressive. The arrival of the three heirs added some serious clout to the event, and the reporters covered it all. One reporter, who had previously mocked Chloe and Zara, found a moment to apologize sincerely.

After the event, Grant kicked things off by donating half a million dollars to the struggling orphanage. Michael and his on-screen partner, Karlie, chipped in together another million, and Liam, inspired by his brothers, matched their donations.

With contributions pouring in from all over, the orphanage's account swelled to nearly 3 million dollars in just half a day. Dora was all smiles as she held Chloe's hand, overflowing with gratitude. "Chloe, you blew me away. I never imagined you'd bring so many celebs to our orphanage. With this money, the kids won't have to worry about winter for years. You're a real lifesaver."

Dora and the kids thanked Chloe, and seeing their innocent smiles, Chloe felt a wave of accomplishment. She gently patted the head of the child who had lent her the hemostatic ointment, accepting their thanks.
