Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 85 Tormented for a While

Hearing Grant's question, Chloe looked up. When her eyes met Grant's intense stare, she felt a flicker of fear. She mumbled softly, "You... were just an accident."

"Accident? What do you mean? Chloe, you're getting out of hand. How many times have you schemed against me?" Grant accused.

Chloe wasn't having it. She pouted and shot back, "Grantie, watch your mouth. Throwing around false accusations can get you in trouble. My classmates and I were just volunteering at the orphanage, and we didn't invite you. You showed up on your own, tools in hand, eager to fix the wiring. The kids were thrilled, and you donated money on your own. How can you claim I set you up? It had nothing to do with me." Chloe's argument was solid, leaving Grant speechless. Today's event was something he insisted on attending. Chloe hadn't even sent him an invite. He was just jealous and worried about Chloe spending too much time with Philip, which was why he went.

In the end, it really had nothing to do with Chloe.

The three brothers were left speechless by Chloe's retort. Looking at each other, puzzled by what went wrong, they realized they were the ones doing the work, spending the money, yet not achieving the outcome they wanted.

Taking advantage of their confusion, Chloe tried to sneak away, but the three heirs quickly caught on. They grabbed her and held her back.

Liam said, "Chloe, if you scheme against someone, you have to pay the price." "Let's go to the backyard," Michael added.

With that, the three of them carried Chloe to the backyard of the Martin Mansion.
