Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 176 You Owe Me an Explanation

Seeing such a message made Chloe's scalp tingle. She felt that Rena had been led astray by Zara. Chloe couldn't help but reminisce about the obedient and sensible Rena she once knew. Rena had been led astray by Zara.

Fighting off her sleepiness, Chloe sent a scolding message to the group.

[You two, knock it off and quit talking nonsense.]

Seeing Chloe's reply, Zara and Rena's gossiping spirits were even more ignited.

Zara: [Chloe, come on, spill the beans about last night!]

Rena: [Yeah, just the two of you, alone in a room, and nothing happened?]

Zara: [Come on, we're dying to know...]

Chloe was at a loss for words as she read their messages.

She tried to clear her name: [Nothing happened between me and Grant. Stop letting your dirty minds run wild.]

Chloe thought that after sending this message, Zara and Rena would calm down.

But to her surprise, her message only fueled their imaginations further.

Indeed, when three women get together to talk, things get lively.

With her usual sharpness and sarcasm, Zara said: [Sharing a room and still nothing happened? Mr. Martin, perhaps he have some... functionality issues?]

Rena immediately chimed in, adding: [I've seen Chloe's true face after she washes up. You look at such a beauty beside him, and Mr. Martin still didn't react? That is indeed a bit suspicious.]

Chloe was completely speechless.

Just as she was about to scold them again, Grant walked in.

"Time to get up, breakfast is ready," he said.

"Oh, I'll get up right away." Seeing Grant reminded Chloe of their cuddling the night before.
