Chapter 112 The Coolest Martin

'With Chloe's looks, he can still kiss her? As the saying goes, if he doesn't take responsibility, who will?'

Michael was lost in his gratitude towards Grant.

After Michael's analysis, even the usually simple-minded Liam began to see the logic. He felt a wave of mixed emotions deeply moved by Grant's self-sacrifice, yet inexplicably uneasy. Witnessing Grant kiss Chloe left him feeling disquieted, although he couldn't quite pinpoint why.

The heavy, oppressive atmosphere at home became too much for Liam. Without a word, he picked up his motorcycle helmet and headed for the door.

Noticing Liam's departure, Michael called after him, "Hey, where are you going?" Liam glanced back, replying tersely, "Going for a ride."

Michael shrugged, watching Liam walk away. As he finished adjusting his suit, he grabbed his car keys too. Today, he needed to hire a new part-time assistant for his company, and Chloe's classmate, Rena, seemed like the perfect fit. Kind, gentle, meticulous, and not overly talkative, Rena exhibited the qualities Michael valued. An assistant like her would help him maintain the privacy he needed as a public figure.

A few days later, Chloe's leg injury had almost healed. She wanted to go back to school, but Grant insisted she stay home and rest a few more days to avoid any potential aftereffects.
