Chapter 146 Grant's Exclusivity

The figure, holding their phone, discreetly snapped a blurry photo of Grant and Chloe sharing a passionate kiss. The camera's lens struggled to focus through the glass, and the angle was less than ideal with Grant's back to the window. The resulting image was hazy, with Grant's face obscured, but Chloe's half-face appeared clearly, her expression unmistakably intimate.

Within minutes, both Nicholas and Louis received the same photo on their phones. Nicholas, wearing his reading glasses, squinted at the screen. His brow furrowed in confusion as he examined the image. The photo's poor quality left much to the imagination, but Chloe's partial face was undeniably recognizable.

He turned to the family butler, Felix Thornton, who was standing nearby. "Felix, come take a look at this," Nicholas said, his voice a mix of curiosity and concern. Felix stepped closer, peering at the phone over Nicholas's shoulder. "Is that Chloe? Who's she kissing? Michael or Liam?"

Nicholas immediately ruled out Grant, considering Grant was at least seven or eight years older than Chloe. From what he knew about Chloe, she seemed to prefer younger guys.

Otherwise, why would her room be plastered with posters of young, muscular men? Felix glanced at the photo and said, "Mr. Davis, I can't tell for sure, but I think it might be Michael."

"Why do you think it's Michael?" Nicholas asked, looking up at Felix.

Felix explained, "Mr. Davis, have you been following the news lately? Ms. Davis has been rumored to be involved with Michael."

Felix's reasoning made sense, but Nicholas still had his doubts. "Why not Liam? I think he's pretty good too, with his motorcycle skills and all..." Nicholas admired Liam.

He believed young people should be bold and adventurous. If he were younger, he might have joined Liam on his motorcycle rides.

Felix shook his head after another look at the photo. "It can't be Liam. No matter how good he is on a motorcycle, can he be better than Ms. Davis? Mr. Davis, do you think she would be interested in someone who isn't as skilled as she is?"

Felix's analysis was spot on, and Nicholas couldn't help but nod in agreement. Felix had always been insightful, and his observations often hit the mark.
