Chapter 168 Shameless?

The chatter of a few women caught Chloe's attention. Chloe wasn't one to enjoy being the subject of gossip, but right now, she was particularly curious about what these women had to say about her.

The women grew louder, seemingly wanting Chloe to hear their conversation.

"Of course, Mr. Martin is so handsome. If it weren't for the engagement, would he really bring such an unattractive woman out to embarrass himself?"

"Yeah, at the very least, he should be with someone as beautiful as us."

"We pretty women are like trophies for men. My Brad loves taking me out."

"Mr. Martin must have had no choice but to bring her. It's really pitiful."

They were being so blatant that it would be inappropriate for Chloe to pretend she hadn't heard them.

At that moment, she turned and said to the women, "Hey, old ladies, this is an art exhibit. Please keep your voices down."

The women had been hoping for a reaction from Chloe. Her response gave them the perfect excuse to confront her.

They wanted to take the initiative and drive Chloe, this unattractive woman, away from Grant.

"Hey, ugly girl, who are you calling 'old ladies'? We're all young here. Is it really appropriate?" one woman, her face caked with makeup, snapped at Chloe.

Chloe was puzzled by her reaction. Had she said something wrong?

This woman looked to be in her mid-thirties. Despite the heavy concealer, the wrinkles around her eyes were evident.

Chloe thought she was being respectful by not calling her "auntie."

"Yeah, what's with the way you talk? If you can't speak properly, just don't. Who are you calling 'old ladies'?"
