Chapter 96 Truly Double Standards

Chloe glanced back at Grant, who was giving her a nasty look. She felt even more uneasy. She forced a reluctant smile. "Grant, seriously, I can go to school by myself. I'm not a kid anymore."

Faced with Chloe's rejection, Grant smirked with a hint of mischief. Lowering his voice, he said to Chloe, "You're scared of me, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Chloe shook her head vigorously, unable to control the rush of memories from the passionate kiss they shared in the car last night. Her face flushed instantly, heart racing at the thought that it was her first kiss.

Grant let go of her collar and started to walk away, but not before throwing a threat over his shoulder. "Get in the car, or I'll tell everyone what happened last night."

His words made Chloe shiver; his threat definitely hit home. She quietly followed him, muttering under her breath, "Grant, this isn't fair."

Grant seemed to catch her muttering and turned to look at her, making Chloe shut up instantly.

Watching them leave awkwardly, Michael turned to Liam, curious. "Liam, don't you think there's something weird going on between Grant and Chloe?"

"What's weird?" Liam, always a bit clueless, hadn't noticed anything unusual.
