Chapter 136 What to Do If Others Have Their Eyes on It?

Just as Chloe was anxiously at her wits' end, not knowing how to find her fake mole, the taxi driver drove her to the doorstep of the Martin Family mansion.

The taxi driver looked at the grand, luxurious mansion with envy and asked, "Miss, do you live here?"

Chloe nodded as she got out of the car, "Yeah, I am just staying here for a bit."

She quickly got out of the car, and the taxi driver took an extra glance at her face, immediately startled.

Wasn't she the pretty girl who had just run out of the bar when she got into his car? How did she turn into a plain Jane after getting out?

Could it be that his car was magical?

Chloe was too preoccupied to pay attention to the driver's curious looks. She grabbed her purse, covering half of her swollen face, and hurriedly ran towards the mansion.

Lucklily, the darkness of the night provided some concealment for Chloe's actions. The household servants were all busy with their own tasks and didn't pay much attention to her hurried movements. Fortunately, the security guard at the gate only glanced at her briefly without scrutinizing her.

She silently prayed that Michael and Grant wouldn't be home.

As long as she didn't run into the two of them, the risk of exposure would be

minimized. Chloe swiftly crossed the gate and entered the vast courtyard. The gentle breeze in the yard tousled her hair, unable to mask her inner anxiety. She kept replaying the recent conflict in her mind, along with strategizing on how to conceal her swollen face as much as possible.

Chloe entered the yard from the gate, then moved into the living room smoothly. Just when she thought she could sneak back to her room, the ususlly busy Grant suddenly appeared in the living room.

"Chloe..." Seeing Chloe, Grant looked up and called her name warmly.
