Chapter 123 I Will Get Jealous

Michael wasn't about to spill the beans to Chloe about Rena being his personal assistant.

"Look, Chloe, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not trying to meddle in your life. I'm just worried about your safety," Michael said, trying to hide his nosiness behind a concerned facade.

Chloe nodded and quickly retreated to her room. As she quietly shut the door, Harry's obnoxious voice continued to reverberate through the hallway, grating her nerves.

"Seriously, what was Grandpa thinking? Getting you guys hitched to her? With looks like that, she has no right to choose among you three. I've seen ugly women, but she's the worst. Grant, I get it now. Anyone with a fiancée like that would need a side chick."

Grant's eyes flickered with irritation as he shot Harry a scornful glance. For a fleeting moment, he considered revealing the hidden truth to everyone that the woman he had kissed so passionately was Chloe. And she wasn't that ugly. No, in fact, she possessed a beauty so captivating, it was nearly impossible to look away.

After the day's events, Chloe decided to unwind. She showered, changed into her cozy pajamas, and applied a soothing face mask before curling up in bed, relishing the comfort of her space.

As her body sank into the mattress, her phone buzzed. It was a message from Zara: [Chloe, did Grant give you a hard time when he whisked you away? I'm telling you, if there's another streaking incident, we can't keep watching. The way he looked at you, it was like he wanted to devour you alive.]

Chloe rolled her eyes at Zara's dramatic text. Unperturbed, she replied: [What's there to be afraid of? We were just appreciating some eye candy; we weren't doing anything inappropriate. Why would he want to devour me? Besides, the Davis and Martin family alliance is bound to unravel eventually. I need to scope out a few more fine men to ensure my future happiness, right? Don't let him intimidate you. He's just a control freak.]

Zara was momentarily stunned by Chloe's nonchalance. She had no doubt that Grant genuinely harbored a voracious appetite for Chloe.
