Chapter 99 Sold Me Out?

Grant felt like he was sitting on pins and needles during this meal. He didn't want to respond to the signals the Thorne family was sending and tried hard to distance himself from Moira. Unfortunately, the harder he tried to keep his distance, the more Chloe wanted to bring them together.

Chloe kept talking to Moira, constantly introducing Grant's likes and interests. She seemed very eager to set them up together.

"Moira, that light green outfit looks great on you; Grantie loves that color."

"You're so beautiful with such smooth skin-what's your secret?"

"Grantie has a good temper and is very considerate."

With her silver tongue, Chloe managed to make Moira, who already had a good impression of Grant, almost believe she was the perfect candidate to become the mistress of the Martin Family.

Of course, David relished in Chloe's cooperation, his satisfaction evident as they prepared to leave. In a gesture of both gratitude and munificence, he presented her with several exquisite gifts. Among them, a delicate necklace captured Chloe's heart, its subtle elegance resonating with her.

Later that evening, Chloe couldn't wait to showcase her beloved new necklace. She dashed over to Grant's car, the trinket gleaming in the dim light as she held it up to her neck, admiring its beauty against her skin. Grant lingered behind, still engaged in conversation with David, sharing a few last words before joining Chloe in the vehicle.

As he settled into the driver's seat, Grant's mood shifted noticeably. He turned to find Chloe, her eyes sparkling with excitement, still fussing over the necklace. With noticeable irritation, Grant's voice cut through her fun. "Do you really need another necklace, Chloe?"
